What to do while we are waiting for answers from the Lord.

Waiting on the Lord is something that our flesh wars against.  We want instant answers and we want them now.

Romans 8:5
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

When we are impatient, we can move in the flesh instead of waiting for the Lord and hearing the Holy Spirit speak to us, but, if we run ahead of God we will not be satisfied.
When we move in the flesh, we give the enemy an opportunity to provide fror us  a counterfeit answer.

While waiting on the Lord, Praise Him and thank Him for the answer from His heart for you for this situation.
That is showing trust and faith is connected to  your  thankfulness and praise.

Psalm 62:1-2
Truly my soul silently waits for God;  From Him comes my salvation.  He is my rock and my salvation;  He is my defense;  I shall not be moved.

Psalm 62:5
My soul wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.

Notice the word silently.  We are to be patient and not constantly pray the same thing over an over in a different way.

God is not hard of hearing, He heard you the first time, He wanted to see if faith was connected to that prayer. 

Do we really believe that God has the best for us?  or are we unsure?  We must add faith to our prayers and wait silently for the Lord.

God is always working behind the scenes, Preparing the best He has for us, trust Him!

The world we live in is instant everything.  If our computer takes to long coming up, we get impatient.  If our phone has a low battery, we get impatient and we have to plug it in.  If there is too long a line to wait in, we get impatient.

Getting caught in a long line, is an opportunity to share Jesus with someone.  Those long lines and the people in them, were placed there by the Lord, who directs our steps.

I think many people are addicted to their phones, they do not realize it, but let them lose it for a day and it is mayhem.

Personally, I liked the old cash registers at the stores, I like the fact that we have to be home to use our phone. I do not always carry mine when I go out.

We all need to get back to the peaceful shopping at the grocery store, no phone to answer. The same at a restaurant, people are busy on their phones. So sad.

We need to be patient with the Lord, He is moving at His pace and not ours.  We are all spoiled, we want answers now!  Be patient and you will receive the best, stay quiet and allow your soul to rest.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

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, ...
