God Chaser

'Everyone became silent and listened carefully as Paul and Barnabas shared with the council at length about the signs and wonders and miracles God had worked through them while ministering to the non-Jewish people.' Acts 15:12 (TPT) 

 

God speaks to me in more ways than I can count. I am a God chaser but when I'm in the flesh it is so hard to hear Him. Too many distractions. In fact, most of what I accomplish in the flesh is for me and God is never impressed by any of it. He alone wants the glory. So, in spite of my desires to do good and finding myself in the same old wilderness time and time again I am finally beginning to see what put me there. His love and my lack of faith. Yep, His love. For He loves me too much to leave me in my current state. 

 

God loves me. This is where I must begin. That is where I see myself and where my lack of faith and my understanding show me just how much I need Him. That is when I see Him in all of His glory and His righteousness is at times, too much to bear. That is where I am tempted to turn and flee from Him and when I find even more how much I truly need Him. 

 

Faithful and true He always pursues and woos me back. Never enjoying even a moment of the dry bones and the desert, I always end up back at His feet. I am learning to trust and to be satisfied through it all. Because of the precious blood of Jesus, I am learning to find the balance and live in the flesh and be spirit filled at all times. Even in the little things, He desires a relationship with me. I am learning to listen in silence to hear the voice of God. Amen. 

 

Even though the circumstances around me seem almost impossible, I know that my God can change things for the good when His people get involved. I am praying God's Will be done! I am beginning to see the signs of what He is capable of in this political season and I couldn't be happier. To all the God Chasers out there, there absolutely are more who are with us than who are against us! To God be the Glory!

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

In All Things Be Prosperous

Image
' Honor the Lord with your wealth      and with the best part of everything you produce.     Then he will fill your barns with grain,      and your vats will overflow with good wine.' Proverbs 3:9-10 (NLT) I am to give back the first fruits of what God has blessed me with in the first place. So in my willingness to obey Him in this I honor God in giving him the first and the best of everything that He has given to me. Likewise, it is not to be the meager portion, no rather to make my gifts extravagant! Not the miserly mindset, no rather to give it joyfully and make it generous. Not the merest amount, no rather to make my tithe the most!   I would be wise to do it and not hold back or rob God. Slack leads to lack. I would be generous to follow in this way as God is generous to me. He always takes care of all my needs. He owns it all. I find that this is the way to prosperity. I give to be a blessing, it is most ple...
