TRUSTING GOD MORE, THAN WE DID BEFORE.

 When we look back where we thought we were trusting the Lord, we can see where we got impatient and tried to handle things ourselves, only to end up doing and saying the wrong things, outside of God's timing.

We all need to learn just what it means to surrender and trust the Lord.

Proverbs 3:5-8

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.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones.

Psalm 37:3-6

Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.

We need to put our life on the line.

Peter had to trust Jesus to walk on the water, but, as soon as he looked at his circumstances and took his eyes off of Jesus, he began to sink. His trust failed. We have all been there at one time or another.

Sometimes we believe that we are trusting the Lord, when we are really trusting in our own ability to get things done.

Jesus is our model to follow, when we see in God's word how Jesus trusted the Holy Spirit and obeyed His Father, we too can learn to trust more.

Trust in the Hebrew: 

means the sense of well being and security that results from having something or someone in whom we place confidence.

The Greek for trust:

 In the Greek it is translated as HOPE, not as

belief. It stresses the feeling of being safe and secure. It means to live at ease because of your confidence in Jesus our Lord.

Trust is having a bold confidence and reliance on God's character, His promises, His power, rather than human understanding. 

It goes beyond mere belief, implying an active sense of commitment to ones life in Gods care.

We cooperate with the Holy Spirit, not trying to fix ourselves. We obey His leading, He does the fixing. We do the repenting and obey God's word.  

The transforming work done in our lives  is the work of the Holy Spirit, its not trying to fix others, that too is the work of the Holy Spirit.

We are secure in Gods hands. He always has our best interest in mind.

Keep in mind the true meaning of trust.

Philippians 1:6

being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:5

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Remember the the word hope, is connected to the word trust in the Greek.

It goes beyond our belief.

God Bless your day

Jesus loves you

THE NEW CHRISTIANTY IS A MIXTURE OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM OTHER GOVENMENTS.

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He said " Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

WHEN INDIFFERENCE ENDS, THAT IS WHEN LOVE BEGINS.

  Don't look for love to come to you, instead, look  where you can give it. Galatians 5:13 For you brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. If you have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised in new life, then stop looking at the old you. Give the love that you always wanted to experience before you met Jesus. That unconditional love. If you noticed while reading the gospels that Jesus went out of His way to show the Fathers love, to provide what real love looks like. Sinners flocked to hear the good news of the gospel. They felt the love. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Beloved, we are to do the same for sinners we know, who have not received Jesus yet. We only receive real love from God when we realize that real love is missing from our life. Conditional love says, I will love you if you please me. G...

ARE WE USING THE AUTHORITY AND WEAPONS, JESUS HAS GIVEN TO US?

Beloved, sometimes we allow things to enter our life, that we need to use our spiritual authority and our weapons on to get free to do the works of the Lord. John 14:12-13 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that My Father may be glorified in the Son. When we are attacked,  We must start using the authority and the weapons that we have in the Lord. The enemy will try and trespass in our life if we become complacent, lazy, and neglect our faith. There are times when we are self satisfied and not on our guard, we become slothful. Pride can be behind those attitudes. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour, Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world...
