ReplyDeleteSo prayer this morning was Awesome! Today I participated in my first Community Prayer meeting, thank God for my sister who texted and woke me up! Such a blessing and great start of my day, to be in fellowship with other Lover's of Jesus this morning. Helen, your worship, really ministered.
The Holy Spirit has been whooping my tail about this whole getting deep in the word thing. (transperant moment)Josh you sent a message earlier asking if we were behind in our reading.. well, I am. But I realized that the real push, for me will be to truly PUSH and STRETCH and be diliegent in my reading, praying, and intimate moments with the Lord. 20 chapters in my flesh is CRAZY!!! But its NOT too lofty of a request for Jesus. He's worth it.I am committed to catching up and Keeping up, Help me Lord in Jesus Name.
So far I found, myself not to be as hungry as I expected and this has actually made it harder for me to PURSUE Him. And that was really bothering me. I prayed to the Lord, and asked to BURN.. I desire to BURN for Him.. So driving into work, I was sooo nauseous. This morning I was finally at a point, where I NEED the Lord to sustain. I was literally about to pull over..
But that's just it. WE NEED THE LORD!!! Sometimes in our physical, we can be under the dellusion,that we've got it..in our own strength, time , pace. But He desires MORE, and He wants us to know there is sooo much MORE!
i went back and re-read soome things in Matthew 19 and this stuck out to me.
Matthew 19:25b- 26
..."Who then can be saved?" 26 Jesus looked at them and said, ' With man thi sis impossible, but with God all things are possible"
WE CAN"T SAVE OURSELVES!
Then the disciples asked we've left everything to follow you! what then will be there for us..
and he then spoke of the "renewal of all things" and the judging of the trbes.
then he said v 29
And Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters o rfather or mother or children of fields for my sake will recieve a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
Everyone who has left:
Houses (possesions/ our stuff)
Brothers and sisters (family)
father and mother ( teaching/ upbringing/environment)
children (gift/ things God has geven you)
fields ( Jobs)
if we give up these things we will recieve a hundred times as much.. and Mark adds " with them persecutions"
this is part of the cost of taking up the cross..
God wants MORE..
He's callign for us to MOVE.. stop being stagnet an dlukewar,.. stop being comfortable.. make a sacrifice for His sake.
give up our worldy treasures and gain heavenly ones.. its not TOO MUCH TO ASK..
HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you all..
Have a Revelatory (is that a word?) Day
That I may Know Him..
