The fearful and unbelieving

The word of God says that without faith it is impossible to please God. ( Hebrews 11:6) Faith is the building block of this walk of God. Believing, trusting, and hoping in God and knowing without a doubt that God will fulfill his word and promises. As a christian, its so important to trust in God regardless of the bleak circumstances. As I look back over my life, God has proven time and time again that if I acknowledge him he would direct my path. We can't doubt, murmur or complain against God. You may not verbally complain against God, but if your slow to obey God your heart is murmuring against him. The word of God talks about the evil heart of unbelief. God even sums up unbelieving and fearfulness with murderers and sorcerers and says the consequences of unbelief is death.
 Revelation 21:8

King James Version (KJV)

⁸But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
 Don't be fearful or anxious, while waiting on the Lord. Wait patiently for him. Psalm 37:7 Sometimes the enemy may try to discourage or hinder you to make you stumble or stagger at the promises of God. Don't let the enemy have his way. The word of God says he has give us POWER to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over ALL the power of the enemy. Luke 10:19. And sometimes we can hinder our ourselves. That why we must die to our flesh, so Christ can live through us and we can possess the mind and nature of Christ. See, if we had the mind of God, believing in God wouldn't be a struggle, we would just have simple confidence in Christ.
Philippians 2:13-15. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;"

Almost Over

Wow, I really can't believe January is almost over. I really believe a lot of things that God took away from us during this season of fasting and consecration we as a body of Christ can't go back too. I feel like I've been on a spiritual journey and this is just the beginning of things. God really showed me how much I depend on him and how much I can't do without him. God has been showing me my heart like never before. You know when its God, when your so aware of your sin, and your wicked heart. It's just like I can't get away from it and I know I can't change myself...God has to do the work. I was at work and praying to God. Lord, you said that every thought would be in obedient to the will of God...bringing your thoughts under subjection.( 2Corin 10:5) How can this be? How is it possible? The Lord said to my heart, " You need to go deeper into the realm of the spirit; where the enemy can't touch you." When you read in Revelations, John talks about how God took him away in the spirit and revealed to him visions and revelation of what was going to happen in the end time. Just to be lost in God that way. God doesn't have to take me to the third heaven, I will just be happy knowing Jesus and Jesus knowing me. Just how when Jesus said to Satan..."Hast thou considered my servant Job?" ( Job 1:7). I want God to be able to look to and fro the earth and be able to say "Have you considered my daughter?:...She is just and upright in my eyes. God has been just dealing with me so much during this time. My prayer has been that I would see sin through his eyes. That I would feel his heart when he looks at the state of the Church and the world. Leonard Raven-Hill said, "Oh to be lost in him..Oh to be consumed in him". That is my cry in these last days. I want to be lost in Jesus. I want to KNOW Jesus. I don't want to know ABOUT him. I want to know the God of Jacob, Abraham, and Issac...The same God who is alive back then and alive now. I know if I know Jesus, that is where my confidence would come from. That is where my boldness would come from. In Acts, Peter and John were going to the temple and there was a crippled or beggar asking for alms at Gate Beautiful... Peter said, "Look on us"...Why did he say that? Because he knew what he had in God. He knew that God was alive and could heal that man. Peter said, "Silver and Gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk"...Oh to have the boldness of God...Oh to have that faith and confidence in God. As Christians, most of us don't have much money, but we want to be able to say to the lost, " I have don't have money, but I have JESUS!!!" Jesus can save you...Jesus can heal you...Oh its only through Jesus. When I look at Peter's life throughout the bible, he is the most humane person I could relate too. But looking at his end; when I read the book of Acts, I know there is hope for me too..Peter was filled with God...He was able to lift up his voice in temples and proclaim the name of Christ. Without doubt or fear, but with the boldness of the Holy Ghost.

Waiting

Its the year of 2010...and we all have made some New years Resolutions consciously or unconsciously. During New Years Eve, I was on my knees declaring to God that this year things will be different. I would have a boldness for the things of God. I would be quick to obey him and delight in obeying him. My prayer was that God would heal my heart and that I would move on in him. At this moment, I am just waiting on God to bring these prayers to past.
"I wait for the LORD,my soul doth wait, and in his Word do I hope" Psalms 130:5
