Questions


How do we know forsure that we hear the voice of the Lord? How can we tell that the way we are walking is right? How can we know with out a doubt that the dreams we have are God's way of talking to us? How can we know that we are walking into a new season? How can we be sure that the life that we are moving into is all that God has promised? How can we know that when the world says, "No." God still says, "YES!" How can we be sure of those things? How can we know that we are truly forgiven and that these next steps of our life is going to change the course of history if we hold on? How can we know that the visions we see and the things in the spirit world are happening in the physical just the same, and sometime the physical needs to catch up? How can we be sure that the things we see with our physical eyes, isn't all there is?




FAITH, being SURE of what you hope for and the evidence of things unseen. But really what is that when the world seems to be crumbling around you? You know what it is? I sure don't really, it isn't tangible like my pen or paper. It isn't even a feeling like suffering or pain. I can tell you all the things it isn't and I can do my best to explain what I know that it is but really, I don't know. I know who does and the best part about this is that I don't have to have all the answers. I don't have to know it all, that isn't my job. My job is to trust and let God himself lead and guide me. I am not sure why these things are hard and I am not sure why things don't always happen in life as fast as we think. I do know that God is in love with you and he will do WHATEVER it takes to get to you. I know that God will speak to you through dreams to get to your heart. I know though that the goal isn't the things, its HIM! You have to be totally saturated and totally emersed in Him before things can change. I know that things are hard and I know that I sure as heck don't understand the things that are going on around us, but I know that when all is stripped away. When we need an answer to everything and yet there isn't one, he is the only answer that we need. He is the only thing that seems to make sense. He just wants your heart. He wants you to know that no matter the circumstance, no matter how bleek it gets, no matter how hard life is, no matter how many times you have to hear others tell you how to live your life, no matter all that, He is the answer. In HIM you will find FULLNESS OF JOY! In Him you will find all you need. The rest of this stuff is exactly that, STUFF! It is all his anyway and we don't really deserve it. I think sometimes he tests our hearts to see if we want the stuff more than him, when we let it go and let HIM love us like he wants, then we are truly fulfilled. Thank you Jesus that we don't have to have all the answers, thank you that we don't have to even understand all that happens. I am just so grateful that no matter what you remain, FAITHFUL! Thank you that the only answer that matters and I need is YOU! Thank you for that and thank you that you love us enough to give us more. Thank you that you allow us to understand your heart for us. Thank you that you allow us to receive both your presents and your presence. Thank you that no matter what, your presence is all I desire. Thank you and I love you Jesus!!!!

Perseverance vs. Endurance

Image
Endurance is something I normally associate with sports, but really in the bible endurance is something that is to wait out the storm to wait it out and know that things will change. Waiting for things to change but just sitting back and riding out the storm. I have endured a lot of things but what does that really show about my character? Nothing except that I know how to wait things out sometimes. That I can sit back and ride the wave, or have a bit of patience for things to change. Although endurance is good in sports and beneficial when you need to wait on something, it isn't what defines character. It isn't what makes good stories. Who wants to sit and listen to someone tell you a story about them sitting and waiting for things to change, who wants to tell a story like that? I sure don't. When I tell a story I want it to be a good story but Epic stories like the Titanic come from something other than endurance. If those people on the boat would have done nothing but en

Warring further still...

Knowing that this season in my life is where it should be is probably easier to accept, than for me to accept the truths of what God Himself has spoken to me about the future. I will tell you that what I am walking through is difficult and hard, but what God has spoken to me is even harder. Not because it will be painful, although I am sure it will be at times, but because of the reality and gravity of what it is. I am in a season of prepping, I believe, in my life for the next season of living out what I know God has said. He has given me direction in many areas of my life and yet I am in this waiting game. Tonight I was reminded that as Jesus had the cross before Him, those hours in the garden right before were necessary. He needed to go and seek the face of His Father. He needed to go further still. (Matt. 26:38-39) He wrestled with the dread for the task He was about to undertake. I know that God isn't asking us to take on all the sins of the world for all the ages ever to be,

1 Thes. 5:16-18

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thes. 5:16-18 NIV How simple are these three verses and yet we think that there is so much more we need to do, for us to be in God's will. We take them in and let them out so easily. As if God CAN'T want something so simple, He is a BIG God and so He MUST want something BIG. This is a lie. We run around in circles trying to figure out the will of God and yet we can't seem to find it because we are looking in the WRONG direction. We hear God, We MOVE, and then leave God in the dust because He made a turn and we didn't hear him because we didn't STOP and ask. God doesn't change, His plans for us don't change, YET we seem to think that He is the one that changes when we head in the wrong direction. We blame Him for ditching us and not telling us when to move, when REALLY it is us who didn't stop and ask for a new direction.
