Do You Think It's All Been By Chance ... Your Trial and Your Test Have Been Set In Place To Give You A Testimony To Help Someone Else .....

Do you think it's all been by chance?   The route you have taken.   The path that God brought you on.    Understand today .... nothing is by chance.   Every trial and every struggle has been engineered by design.  In other words ... nothing that you go through is a surprise to God.    He knows what it is and when it is coming.  Now whether you made it through it or not .... was a matter of choice.   The choices you made on how to handle what you were going through established the end result of your battle.    We all have choices when faced with trials.   The two primary choices are either to trust God or to trust ourselves ....     Have you learned yet that it is always better to trust Him.   To allow Him to lead.   To put it in His hands .... understanding that that is what you were designed to do.

You are a vessel chosen and you are vessel that is protected.    There is a hedge that has been placed around your life.   Like Job .... there is only so far that the enemy can come.    What happens is .... when we see things coming towards us .... our immediate reaction is to run or change positions.   Not realizing that there is a shield that the enemy cannot penetrate.    An example would be someone throwing something at your face ... the immediate reaction would be to get out of the way and take cover.    Understand .... if you stay under of God ... when attacks come .... you don't have to move.   It is only when we are outside of His will (His covering) that we become exposed.

We have to understand that the test and the trial is only meant to strengthen us.   To put us in a place where we can help someone else.   Where we have the testimony that says that God did it for me and He is not a respecter of people.   Where we can say ... what He did for me ... He will do for you.   Amen....

Are You Invoking The Presence Of God In Your Life So That Others Can See His Inexplicable Goodness?

Are you invoking the presence of God.  

Psalm 75:1 says ….

We give praise and thanks to You, O God, we praise and give thanks; Your wondrous works declare that Your Name is near and they who invoke Your Name rehearse Your wonders.

The word invoke means to cite or appeal to (someone or something) as an authority for an action or in support of an argument.  It means to call on in prayer, as a witness, or for inspiration.

Again I ask, are you invoking the presence of God in prayer.   Is He the authority in your life and the source of your inspiration?

The scripture says if you invoke or call on God’s name …. You rehearse His wonders.    To rehearse means to practice in preparation for a public performance or display.    The word wonders means a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.    That’s God.   Understand it is all in His name.   It is all based on His name.   

We have to call on His name in order to rehearse who He is in our lives.    In order for people to see the unexpected, unfamiliar, and inexplicable.    When something is inexplicable … it cannot be explained by ordinary means.    When people begin to see you call upon the Name of God and they see how God moves in your life, they will begin to know and understand that the only explanation for what is going on in your life will be that God did it.

What Is Causing You To Be Distracted and Pulling You Outside Of God's Joy, Peace, Love and Power?

What is it in your life that is trying to distract you or keep you from what God wants you to do?   Are there things that are weighing on you that have your heart and your mind all bound up?   Are they hindering you from moving into the next level that God has prepared for your life?   Understand .... everything and everyone can't go.    So often we try to take people, places, and things into our next level when they weren't designed to be there.    Everyone can't handle where God is taking you.    They may not have the faith to believe what God is telling you to do.    The place may change .... where you are now .... may not be where God wants you to be in order to walk out His plan for your life.     Then there is "stuff"  .... the things we just don't want to let go of.    We have to learn how to let go of the stuff.   We have to learn how to let go of the things we desire in order to receive the things that God desires to give us in our lives.   

Trust God for your next level and be ready to release any and all things that God has not ordained for the next level of your walk with Him.    Remember ... if there is something that is pulling you out of God's presence ... out of His peace, out of His love, out of joy,  and out of the position where you can hear clearly from Him .... that means it is not ordained to come where you are.   Understand ... it is pulling you "out" of where you are.

"I Just Want To Be Where You Are"

Ministered By Don Moen

  

Do You Realize That God's Love For You Goes Deeper Than An Outward Act Or Action.... Have You Learned That It Is Not Just About What You Want When You Want It?

Have  you ever been at a place where you knew what you wanted and that was all that mattered?    Even with God .... where you know you want God and that's all that matters.    Is that the best place to be in?   Even in you knowing that you just want God .... there is still something missing.   You have to know that God's desire is that you go deeper than just wanting Him.   He wants you to let Him in.    To let Him into your thoughts.   Into your actions.   Into your desires.   God's desire is that you be intimate with Him.   

Have you ever been in a relationship or friendship where you knew what you wanted.   For whatever reason you set up a guard and you said that you would only go this far.   You would go in and get what you wanted and walk away.   Never allowing yourself to become intimate with the other person.  (Keeping in mind that this is an analogy and there are various levels of intimacy and some intimacy is to be reserved for marriage only.)   Intimacy requires that someone sees deeper into you and you see deeper into them.   It requires that you stay and allow yourself to be held.   It requires that you trust someone else. It requires that you go beyond the surface or the act into a place of communication.     God does not want us to just "act" with Him.    Where we come into His presence to get what we feel that we need at that time and leave.    God wants to hold us and to commune with us.     He wants you to know that His love goes deeper than an outward act or action.   Where He gives you what you need when you need it.   His love is there to hold you and care for you at all times ... not just your time of need.

"This Is My Desire"

Ministered By Hillsong

Are You Taking Time To Make Sure Your Actions and Your Life Are In Alignment With God's Word?

Are you being strong in the Lord  or are you giving up?   It's easy to let go.   It's easy to quit and give up?   But is that what God would have you to do?    God says that your strength is in Him.   Therefore you can handle whatever is coming up against your life.   Understanding that the Father is all powerful and all knowing.   There is nothing that can conquer who He is.    

It's time to realign.    When a car is out of alignment, your car tends to drift to one side.   That is how life is.   When our lives are out of alignment .... the weight of life shifts on us rather than on God.   God has told us to cast our cares on Him for He cares for us.   But you can't do that if you are not in proper alignment with His plan, His purpose, and His will.    

Always take time to make sure your actions and your life are in alignment with what God is telling you to do.     It's easy to drift away from what God is telling you to do if you fail to do the proper checks and balances in your life.     As long as you stay in line with His word ... you will always find the strength and power to accomplish what He is telling you to do.

"The Words I Would Say"

Ministered By The Sidewalk Prophets

Are You Ready and Willing To Let God Use YOU?

Are you letting God use you?   Are you ready?   Are you willing?    Or are you being hindered by what you are going through?   Understand that God wants to use you.   He wants your mouth to be as the pen of a ready writer.    When you are ready ... it means that you are completely prepared and fit for use.     Again I ask .... are you ready to be used by God?     Understand what you see as fit ...may not be what God sees.   When you understand that it is your trial, your test, and your testimony that  God is looking to use ... you will understand that you are ready.     God wants you to tell others what you have been through.   He wants you to tell others what you are going through.   He wants you to tell others that He will take them through just as He delivered you.   

Sometimes we think that we have to be so philosophical or should I say concerned with the deep things in life in order to be used by God.    Sometimes all a person needs to hear is that God loves them or that God is there.    It's not about how deep you can be .... it's about how real you can be.   People are looking for realness.   For truth.   For love.    That's what God is.   He is real.   He is truth and He is love.   Those are the qualities of God that He wants to display through you.   So again I ask .... Are you ready and willing to let God use YOU?

"If You Can Use Anything Lord .... You Can Use Me"

Ministered By Ron Kenoly

Are You At The Place Where You Are Ready To Give It ALL To God ... Realizing He Doesn't Need Your Help...

Do you feel like you are at a place where you just don't know what to do next?   Which way to go or how to handle your situation or circumstance?    If so ... you are right where God wants you to be.   He wants you to be in a place where He is in control.    He wants you to step out of the way so that He can have His way.    This life is not about what you can do or how you can handle your own situations.    It is about you giving God the reigns.   About you allowing Him to move and manifest.   About you trusting Him to be who He said He is.   

What we have to understand is .... God doesn't need our help.   He doesn't need us to make a way.   He's already made it.   He doesn't need us to figure it out.   He's already wrote it out.    The book is finished .... we are just living it.   

So today ... THIS DAY ...  step out of God's way.   Yield to His word and His wisdom.    Take upon you the attitude of letting go and letting God.   Let Him be who He said He is.   Let Him do what He said He would do (without your interference).    Understand that your Daddy is all seeing, all knowing, ALL GOD.    He is Alpha, Omega, El Shaddai, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Ropha, Jehovah Shalom, Elohim ..... AND MUCH MUCH MORE ..... ALL BY HIMSELF.
