With All That's Going On in the World Today

I haven't written in a while and today I am feeling inspired to write. With all that is going on in the body of Christ I can not help but to think that the world is asking us where is God; the one that we say we worship, the one that we claim to be our healer or deliverer our provider, the one that says no weapon formed against us shall prosper? Well I thought about it and my answer to the questioon is that God is still here. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever more. He has not left us nor forsaken us, just like He said. With all that is going on in the world especially in the body of Christ, I am learning not to be a “spectator” but rather a person of constant prayer, for myself, my family and the body of Christ. Always be reminded that the thing we judge and criticize our neighbor about can easily become our issue the moment we taken our eyes off God.

You may have heard the scripture “what God joins together let no man put asunder”. (Mathew 19:4-6) This means that if God ok'd you to marry your spouse in that particular season of your life and then trials began to come you need to be reminded and encouraged of this scripture and know that nothing is able to separate that vow you made before God to your spouse, as long as you stay in the presence of God. I bet your saying how would I know, your not even married. But the truth of the matter is that I am convinced that the same concept applies with everything else in our lives, receiving a miraculous healing and then years later you receive a bad report, purchasing a new home and then you lose your job, financial struggles, dealing with difficult children, a business in the dry season, etc. There will always be a time where we are tempted to doubt what God has already said or done and it is up to us to stand still, not be shaken and know that if he said it then its already done. If he has done it no man can ever undue it.

God gives us choices and sometimes we may need to reflect everyday about the decisions that are before us, just to make sure that we are moving in the Will of God. In him is where we get our strength to fight the enemy that is so easily waiting to deceive us. The moment we take our eyes off God the enemy is right their to feed us the beautiful LOOKING fruit of anxiousness, jealousy, un-forgiveness, haughtiness, unloving and doubting ways and if our eyes are closed we will eat of that which is poison to our life just because it smells good. So I say to you let the character of God be evident in the things you do. Never give up on what you know God has given you and remember that the battle is not yours, it belongs to the Lord. After doing all but stand, stand and see the salvation of the Lord. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing, but let who you are and what you do be the example to the world that God is real, and He is all that His word says that He is. Just as a friend of mine just recently told me, and I leave with you today, "I love you but Jesus loves you more".

My Prayer:
Lord I ask that you guard my ears and eyes along with my neighbors that are reading this today. Allow our heart to be free from any burdens, let our thoughts be so in tuned with the word of God that we allow you to order our every step. Even as things continue to happen and we don’t quite understand it but it is at that moment Lord that we ask you to teach us to pray before publicizing; bridle our tongues and convict our hearts from saying anything that is not pleasing to you. Give us the strength we need to press forth in the assignments you have appointed us for. Teach us how to love all over again, not just the Love that we know it to be everyday but the Agape love, the love that you continue to show us every minute on the hour. Lord, as you continue to work on us, we thank you that you will help us to surrender our whole being to you and as a result of doing so our character will begin to bring forth the true fruit of the spirit that you require from us and we thank you for it now. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Be Blessed
