WHY DO WE PRAY FOR GOD TO CHANGE OUR SITUATION? WHEN IT WAS HE WHO PLACED US THERE.

WE PRAY, LORD CHANGE MY SITUATION, WHEN ALL ALONG IT WAS GOD WHO PLACED THAT THING IN YOUR LIFE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

 WE ALL WANT TO GET OUT OF THE PLACE  WHERE WE ARE UNCOMFORTABLE. THAT OUR HUMAN NATURE.

 IT TAKES US BEING UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THE LORD TO MOVE US ON INTO A GREATER PLACE OF FRUITFULNESS.

 Like that little eaglet in its nest is comfortable and peaceful.  
When all of the sudden the mother eagle begins to take the nest apart. 

 She first will take out that wonderful feather bed of down feathers. 
She goes down to the uncomfortable leaves.  

 Then she removes the leaves, and gets down to the thorny branches.  
By this time the eaglet is starting to panic, it hurts to be on the thorny bed. 
Mother always brought the food and fed them, now no food, a thorny bed, what is going on?

 Finally she pushes the little eaglet out of the nest, it tumbles and falls from high up, but mother eagle swoops down and picks it back up and places it safely on a rock. (We have been placed safely on THE ROCK!

 This process continues until the eaglet learns to fly, and find its own food. Mother always near to make certain the eaglet learns to fly and hunt.

 Many of us Christians are the same, we get too comfortable where we are in our growth in the Lord, become complacent, satisfied with the status quo, or as I have heard them say, "I just go with the flow"

 So God has to take our nest apart so that we will grow and learn to trust Him at all times. 

 We must learn how to get our own food supply from the word of God! No more spoon feeding.

 Like the eaglet who was placed on a rock, after several times of his mother pushing him off the rock and recovering him, he now trust her enough to leave the rock and try his wings. Woohoo!

 When we feel so pressured and cannot see a way out, that is when we have to depend on the Lord, we suspect that God is up to something. After all He is Lord!

 Isaiah 55:6
Seek the Lord while He may be found.  Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts;  Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God
For He will abundantly pardon.

 Do you find that you are wondering what on earth is happening in my life right now?

 Well I know in my own life, God is doing a deeper work, and He has nothing planned but good for me.

 It seems lonely and empty at times, family far away, friends busy.  
This is the time I have no one but God to depend on, speak to and worship and praise.

 The same is true of you.

 Sometimes the Lord closes all doors of fellowship from others, so that He can get our full attention.
(The wilderness experience, where we hear the voice of God clearly)

 He is teaching us to depend on Him for our happiness and comfort and wisdom, and our spiritual food from God's word.

 So be careful how your pray,  are you trying to remove the very thing God is using to bring you to a deeper place of fellowship with Him.

 God will complete that which He has started and will bring you to maturity, our spiritual growth is a big issue with the Lord. 

 We are to be like Jesus.

 Psalm 16:11
You show me the path of life;  In Your presence is fullness of joy;  At Your right hand are pleasures forever.

 Beloved, when you are praying from a heart of gratitude to the Lord, ask Him, "Lord is this your doing, or am I under attack? 

 JESUS, WILL LET YOU KNOW, BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH.

 Ephesians 4:31
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

 God will show you, if you have opened a door to the enemy, or if it The Lord who is shaking your world.  

 All the enemy can do is lie to you, if you believe him, hes got you, only if you don't recognize his tactics. 

 But if you know it is God, you are in the place of promotion, blessing and growth.

 PRAISE THE LORD!

 God bless your day
Jesus loves you

 Love in Jesus
Joy

This reminded me of what I was reading last night from Philippians 3. Paul was encouraging them to press on, becoming mature in Christ, not looking back but ahead. This time alone can allow us to draw closer to God, making us stronger for the days to come.

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, ...
