Are there thorns in your nest? Something uncomfortable is happening, trust God!

Are you ready to leave the comfortable nest and try your wings and fly,
Grow more in the Lord, see things from His point of view?

Lessons from a mother eagle.
The mother eagle will make such a comfortable nest for her young.  She gathers branches with thorns, places over the top of bigger branches, then she will put smaller branches with leaves, and last she fills the nest with soft warm feathers.

In order for the eaglet's to learn to fly, mother has to start taking the nest apart, little by little she will remove some of the comfort they are so use to.

Sound familiar?
God makes it very comfortable for His children, but when it is time for a big change in their life, He begins to remove some of the familiar comfortable things in our life.  There will be thorns in our nest! Uncomfortable.

When the mother eagle starts removing the soft feathers and gets down to the leaves, then the eaglet's realize something is changing. It is not so comfortable anymore.
Finally they get down to the thorns, and its time to leave the nest, mother wants them to learn to fly.
She forces them out of their nest and she flies under them, until they get the idea how to flap their wings and fly.  They are always protected.

God does the same with us. We think what is happening, why all the changes and where am I going, What is happening?

2Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,  while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.  For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Beloved, if things are changing in your circumstances and you are unsure what is happening, this is when you learn to fly, trust God, His big hand is under you, so that you will know you are safe.
God will not leave you on your own, it just feels like that.
This will take a stretching of your faith, new growth in your faith, trusting God no matter what it may look like.  God will not fail you. He loves you.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Don't panic when God begins to move things and people around in your life. Trust!
He is about to bring new people in your life and more spiritual growth in you.
God bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Yes,Amen! We must walk by faith, trusting His plan. I am right in the middle of this, and I have never felt more at peace. I am so thankful for I am learning that His plan for my life is much better than mine ever was or will be. I encourage others when you have no clue what is going on or why. Take a deep breath and trust the God who created you and loves you. He will not leave you. He will always provide, and He will make a way. What I have learned is to keep giving it to Him. When those negative thoughts try to enter and limit you. Stop! Ask God to capture your thoughts and take control and then praise Him for what He is going to do. Jesus loves us so much that He prayed for us and died for us! He will not let go of us! Hold onto that thought!

Thank you, Joy, for reminding of us this!

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
