Sometimes we just need to stop and pray. Our minds are racing, our “fix it” gears are in motion even though there is no “fix it” answer. When we don’t stop and pray (or we pray half-heartedly) we begin to get discouraged and frustrated when we don’t see movement. If we can contend in prayer we will build up our inner man. How you ask? As we are led in prayer beginning with a heart of thanksgiving we find ourselves edified and encouraged even (maybe even especially) if nothing in our outside circumstances have changed. I love that sometimes we just don’t know how to pray and that’s ok even though it feels like a difficult spot to be in. We want God’s will but we also want our desires. I have been in that place more often than I care to be recently. I want my desires but I also want God’s will. Just last week I decided I have put my petitions (my desires) before the Lord a lot recently. Now, in order to not pray against the will of God, I have begun to pray daily in the Spirit when I am ...
Over and over I keep hearing from the Lord “Those who have ears to hear let them hear! Those who have eyes to see let them see!” My goodness my goodness. If we call ourselves believers we need to be able to hear what the Lord is saying in order to see things how we need to see them! I beg you, do not let your hearts grow dull which in turn causes your ears to become hard of hearing and then your eyes to close. We cannot allow this to happen in our lives but it is most definitely a ploy of the enemy because he knows if we hear with our ears then we will most definitely be seeing also with our eyes what the Lord is saying and doing in this critical hour. When we can both hear and see in the spiritual we turn our hearts to the Lord and in response He heals us and in the overflow He heals our land! This is the promise Acts 28:27 speaks of. When we are in rebellious times to the things of the Lord, a rebellious house so to speak, as in Ezekiel’s day, ears that do not hear and ...
Jesus covers us BUT He doesn’t excuse us. We have all sinned, yes, we have all fallen short, yes. (Romans 3:23) We’ve seen the pictures of Jesus being the bridge connecting our inability to God’s righteousness making us the righteousness of God. Jesus covered us so we CAN become the righteousness of God by remaining IN HIM. (2 Cor. 5:19) Does Jesus covering us say go do what you want, be what you want with no regard as long as you have accepted Jesus into your heart you’re good, He has you covered? If the answer is yes then we’re saying repentance, surrender and obedience aren’t required when we know biblically they are. Philippians 2:12 tells us it’s important to continue in obedience AND to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. And, of course there’s Romans 6:15 that asks a question and answers it for us...If God’s grace covers us can we continue in sin and then answers with a certainly not. My question is if righteousness covers all then why not? What is the true stam...
