THE UNEXPECTED, DELAYS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS AND DETOURS.

I have learned from experience, that when we are hit with the unexpected things in this life, look for Jesus in it all.

Recently, we were hit with a hail storm, with baseball size hail. A lot of damage in or area.

As believers we know, that God controls everything in our life.  If it is bad, He will bring something good out of it.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Beloved, can we thank God for all that comes into our life?

In our natural reasoning, it is hard, but in the spiritual reasoning, it is all about trusting God.

We call it faith!!

I have seen the Lord take painful losses, and hurts and bring good out of it.

Losses of life, property, family, friends.

We don't realize how much God loves us until we experience a great loss.  

He is there with us all the way.  It is the hard places in life that cause us to look up to our Lord Jesus.

Isaiah 57: 1-2

The righteous perishes, and no man takes it to heart; Merciful men are taken away, while no one considers That the righteous is taken away from evil.  He shall enter into peace; They shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

Look at Paul's life:

From Acts 27and 28. Read it all ask the Holy Spirit to show you the hidden treasures.

It took a shipwreck to place him at the place where he could bless and heal, and share the word of the Lord.

Even a viper could not stop him, he just shook it off. 

Are you shaking off the viper that is there to stop you from doing God's will?

All that viper did was prove God is greater.

When things come into our life that are unexpected, how do we respond? Do we call on the Lord?

There are things that we do not understand yet, as we learn more of the ways of the Lord, we will see His purpose and will for allowing certain painful things in our life.

God saw it all ahead of time and made provision for all our needs. Especially the emotional ones. 

Don't refuse a rebuke from a friend or loved one, Be grateful that someone loves you enough to point out a correction that is needed.

We all need a rebuke at times, especially when we go off in the flesh and don't go to Jesus first.

Psalm 141:5

Let the righteous strike me; It shall be a kindness, And let him rebuke me;  it shall be as excellent oil; Let my head not refuse it.

There will be unexpected delays in answered prayers, detours that we must take, in order to bless others. 

Yes, there will be disappointments along the way, but God will turn them to joy and peace. 

It's in the flesh that disappointments spring up, but if we will look to Jesus and not our self, we will see the Lord's answer for it all.

Never, never underestimate what God can do out of the unexpected. 

Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what is to come next. 

What is God going to bring out of destruction, detours and delays. 

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus 

Joy

Halleluyah! Thankyou Mama Joy good Word for today. So sorry for the damage the hail brought but the good that has come out of it you share with us to open our eyes and ears to these things. Rebukes and corrections all of it for our good and ultimately from the Father who disciplines us. I will remember to be thankful in all things just as you have said. Thankyou for this remembrance of our GODS LOVE THROUGH JESUS.

Amen!! God has been showing me more and more through the leading of the Holy Ghost that worship is my weapon. There is absolutely NOTHING that can happen to us that God does not already know about. (Psalms 139)When we rest in His promises and His grace we will have the peace that surpasses ALL understanding. God is always faithful even when we have gone through hell and back we must get up daily put our combat boots on and our wedding dress and march on and finish this race strong!!! To many lost souls out there not too. ❤️❤️❤️

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...

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, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
