"We cannot obey the Father, that is the trick..
You have been deceived.
That is Satan's trick.
Read again" Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. "
And
read again:
" But he that heareth , and doeth not,is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth;against which the stream did beat vehemently ,and immediately it fell ;and the ruin of that house was great. "
Can you remember reading about "a thorn in their side"?
"But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes,
and thorns in your sides,
and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them."
Someone once said:
"The only way one can accept the truth and retain their sanity is to trust God."
They may be more to it than that.

those consequences.
No, I have not been deceived. Remember “by Grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves it is a gift of God that no man may boast”.
and Romans 4:5 “However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness”
We cannot obey the father apart from a changed heart, because to even try would be futile.
