Thought I would drop off a reminder: Word for today:
THE WAY - TO THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE
The choice is ours: Romans 12: 2
We are called to be different/the opposite of the world. THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME, DON’T FEEL PRESSURED TO LIVE LIKE IT IS
Conforming, means us allowing something to change us to be like, act, or copy it. (This is FAKE, not the real you, you have just bought into a lie that will never last or lead you into your rightful place.) The world works from outwards desensitizing us within, so that we become blind, & deaf to the things of God, & so that we may follow it. (Wonder who’s behind this?)
God tells us to go the opposite way of the world, & we will find him there. Be transformed by the renewing of our minds. God operates via his spirit to our hearts & minds, revealing his goodness, which teaches us to be more like him each day. Our minds tell our bodies what to do. What we feed it, is what comes out. God wants us to be transformed, from within, so that it becomes a natural healthy part of us which will be reflected on the outside – our thoughts, words & deeds. (This is the real you, the GENUINE person God created you to be.)
He further goes on to say do this so: that you may prove what is the good acceptable & perfect will of God. You cannot understand the things of God & his perfect will for your life without HIM, without doing things his way. His way leads you to his PERFECT WILL + life’s fulfilment = eternal life. The world’s way leads you to its way= temporary pleasures, + wages of sins = DEATH.
Follow God’s lead via your spirit & HIS, & allow what HE shows your heart & mind, to become your reality = TRUE LIFE.
WHY YOU MAY NOT BE CALLED TO MARRY OR have the things you want NOW!!!
Jeremiah 16: 2-4: ‘You must not marry or have daughters or son in this place. They will die of deadly diseases.
Jeremiah lived at a time of judgement, when everyone was to be destroyed, that was his message. It would not be sensible to become attached to the people, who were to be destroyed? He would have been less effective in his ministry; suffering further distractions of personal grief to lost loved ones. He too would have died, & not serve his God given purpose.
God does not want us to have a wife/ husband, whom he knows will die or things that will be to our detriment. Sometimes we think God is harsh in his decisions because we want what we want NOW, but we don’t see the bigger picture, or the grief he is sparing us.
It’s human nature to want what every one else has, & sometimes even at much cost. Similarly the people requested a King & were given Saul. Although they were warned about the consequential treatment they would receive, they ignore the warnings. That sounds kind of silly doesn’t it, but sometimes we get so blind by our selfish desires, we really do not pay any attention to the long term effects.
Some of us want houses, cars to keep up with the Jones’s. So we may accept offers that are out of Gods will, convincing ourselves its ok. The same things goes for a wife, husband etc. We ignore the warnings, Gods disapproval; try to negotiate with God why we should have this thing or person, which then becomes a rod for our backs later. Again similar to the requested Saul who mistreated the people.
If we just learn to trust in God’s rule & timing in whatever it is we are waiting for, not settling for a substitute Saul, we will receive our anointed King David. God always wants the best for us, no matter how long or hard it seems in coming, & it always serves to benefit not just us, but many others.
Have you been broken, battered, & bruised through life’s journey?
Have you suffered the consequences of yours/others mistakes, mishaps, misfortune; been discouraged, disappointed, disheartened etc…?
THEN THIS IS GOD'S DESIRE FOR YOU
Guaranteed success
It is not Gods will that any should perish.
Do not worship any other gods besides HIM’.
Remain in HIM and HE in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in HIM.
Delight yourself in HIM & HE will give you the desires of your heart.
It is impossible to please God without Faith.
So do what he tells you no matter how difficult, painful or long it seems. Hold unto his every word, & live according to it, because the word he whispered in your ear when you first met HIM is the word he pronounced over your life when he placed you into your mothers womb.
If you want to live a fulfilled life in this world & the next; then obey everything God tells you to do, & watch him soar through every area of your life.
(Psalm 1:1-3)
There is no greater joy than to live the life God created you to live & then leave this world saying ‘It is finished’ Father take me home.
TO KNOW GOD IS TO LOVE HIM = LOVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
Lesson re word posted on April 10th: Dates, times of celebrations, traditional rules and rituals, NEVER comes before Gods action of wisdom. That is why Jesus said ‘He is Lord of the Sabbath.’ (Mark 2: 23-28 & Chapt 3: 1-6) This is also why he said: Which do you prefer; ‘your sins are forgiven or get up and walk.’ Matthew 9: 1-7.
In other words he is saying sorry to break up your little celebration season, but I am standing right here at your door. Let’s see who will recognize me. Do you prefer to receive a word regarding the purpose of the cross all day every day, or a ‘Happy Easter’ wish once a year. We are called to stop majoring on what God minors on, and get our hearts and mind in tune to what he is constantly doing in our lives. (Keep vigilant in the spirit at all times). He does not want us to be like the Pharisees: Matthew 5:20 ‘For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. ’
Seems to me God is calling us to be on a closer and higher level with him, more than we even understand. People of God open your pretty blue, green, brown whatever array of colour eyes God has blessed you with, and see and hear the voice of the Lord, through HIS word. He never lies. His main objective through whatever course or method he provides is to show you HIMSELF; his personal love and his desire for you to be with him in a personal way. I don’t think he wants to take away the importance of the cross when we are trying to focus on it, but he is also saying be careful of the Pharisees spirit, which leads into a blind spot. Do not to be so taken up and marred by the actual celebrations, traditional customs, that you miss him when he is standing right in your midst.
