Earlier this school year in agriculture class some of my friends and I were in the garden pulling weeds. One girl pulled up a patch of weeds and discovered a mouse. Several people started scrambling around while the girl wanted to pick it up. One of my friends, an outdoor person scooped up the mouse in such a way as to avoid being bitten. The mouse squealed and the first girl mistook its squeal of fear for a squeal of pain.

C) Now flipping the analogy think of yourself as the mouse. God tries to pick us up to take us out of the world. But we squeal often because we don’t want to be taken. Nevertheless we need to allow God to better shape our character so we can one day be in paradise with him. He protected us from Satan by coming down to the world to save us so we wouldn’t have to die. He body slammed Satan’s power over us so we could be saved. We need to clean out our house and ask Jesus to come
