God is Faithful to get us where we need to be!!!

         I have not done this for awhile, but as I was spending time with the Lord this morning, I felt I needed to. Yesterday I had a connect group and some conversations that got me thinking. Also I was baptized on Sunday and since then my testimony has been heavy on my heart. It is amazing how you can go have a conversation with someone in the faith and walk away with a new boldness to step into the will of God.

    Right now, I have some one on my heart that is pulling away from God. It is disheartening to watch as it happens and not be able to do anything about it. I am learning right now that I just have to step back and let God be God. Which can be so hard sometimes. OK, a lot of the time. Me trying to play God is just me saying, "God, I don't trust you." 

    In this connect group, we are talking about what it looks like to be a follower of Jesus. A lot of it, is obedience when He asks something of you. When He asks you to let go of something. Right now, it is costing me something, but I know Jesus has already gone into our tomorrow and next few years and this choice is going to be more beneficial than I could ever possibly imagine. I have faith in that. 

My Testimony is a long one. Over a ten year stretch of me saying I believed but not actually believing. I was still doing a lot of things that I was supposed to die to. But the Holy Spirit was there in me....convicting me the entire time. It just took me a long time to yield to Him. It is a testimony of God's faithfulness. God's faithfulness to keep His promises. 

Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. 

Psalm 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold thou are there. 

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong, and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them, for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee, He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 

Matthew 18:12 How think ye? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety nine, and goeth into the mountains and seeketh that which is gone astray?  

        As I was praying today, I had God speaking into my Spirit all of these things. Then He was giving me confirmation through my sister in Christ in text messages. Our God is so good. He works on our behalf, ALWAYS to glorify Him.

Tomorrow Never Comes

 Does God ever just give you a verse? One that just resonates with your heart? It constantly stays on your mind as you try to figure it out? Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. That's the one. It has been one that pops up time and time again.  I hear it. I read it. But do I truly understand it?  As I was watching a movie today, laid up on my couch, the Lord brought this to me again. The movie I was watching was "Finding Faith." It has been a hard couple weeks for me, but then these problems seem so small compared to others. In this movie, this ladies mother died of a sudden stroke that left her in a coma. BOOM. Teach us to number our days.  We all like to pretend that we are in control of our lives. We make sure we wear our seat belts. We don't drive in poor weather conditions. We don't go down dark alleys at night time. We carry bear maze when we go hiking. We buy guns for protection.  BUT.... We are not in contro...

  Yom Kippur(Day Of Atonement) Tonight starting at sun down, we began another Jewish holiday. (Biblical Feast)                     Leviticus 16:29-33 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourner among you: For on that day shall the priest make an Atonement for you to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead shall make the Atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: And he shall make Atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tabernacle of the congre...

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

  Have you ever heard something at one part of the day  and it kind of resonated with you but you just went on  with the rest of your day? Then later that day you hear  something of the same thing?  That happens to me all the time.  This is how I know God is trying to talk to me. There are no sure things a coincidences. If this happens to you, PAY ATTENTION! God is trying to tell you something.      I am bringing this up because I feel like it is a message that the church needs to hear. I have been feeling led to write this blog for days now, but have ignored the leading. Today I sat down, turned my computer on, only to learn that the battery had stopped working completely. I knew in my spirit this message needed to go out...so I went to WalMart to buy a new computer. The enemy knows this is how I share what God teaches me, so he attempted to stop it, but he did no prevail. Now I am sitting at my kitchen table with the power of the Holy Spiri...
