Just a few thoughts...


 God is so good. All the time. He will always be there to deliver us and help us when we call out to Him. He’s the father that never lets us down, weeps for us and lifts us up. I have come to be so in love with Jesus Christ and am striving for radical obedience in Him. I want to go wherever He wants to send me. Do whatever He has planned for me. I’m willing to lay down the rights that He blessed me with for Him. That’s how we show our love, by laying down our rights for Him. Our rights, which aren’t, even truly our rights. Everything is God’s and God given. I’ve been awakened to how in the American culture we’re so used to having things our way, to sticking to our rights, to not believing in authority. What I hadn’t realized was that attitude had transferred over into my relationship with God. I wanted the control. I wanted to control my own thoughts and choices and my life but what God has shown me is that I don’t know what’s best for me. He does and I need to give it all up to Him and let Him take care of me and guide me because His plans for me are far much greater than anything I could imagine or dictate for myself.  
            Once you open your spiritual eyes you can see how the enemy lies everywhere. Lurking just waiting to get at you and bring you down. He can be pretty good at his job. You look around in this world and see so much corruption, dishonesty, pain, and hurt. These are all things from the enemy. Churches falling apart, quarrelling over stupid things not forgetting that the institution of church is insignificant to the matter of getting people saved. Religions get all caught up in practicalities. What happened to the simple fact of spreading the word of God. Spreading love everywhere we go. Becoming more like Jesus. The enemy has wormed himself into the institution of church no doubt. People need to take a stand. Open up, listen to what God is saying to you, read the scriptures ask for revelation. He will show you. We are God’s army sent out to heal this world. We have a lot to fight for and a lot of strength behind us. So what are we waiting for? What are you waiting for?
