WHEN LORD WHEN!?!?!?

 
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen. Hebrews 11:1
 
Some of you have asked GOD for a breakthrough, a new job, a child, or a
husband.  Some of you have been waiting so long and have gotten so close
only to feel as if the answers to your prayers have slipped through your
fingers.  Some of you are losing, or have lost hope.  As a result your
prayers are not fueled by faith and you only ask GOD because it is the only
thing you can do.  You are essentially bracing yourself for the impact of
rock bottom.  You ask "WHY and WHEN LORD?"  Each day becomes a struggle to
move forward and your faith is giving way to fear. 
 
If this describes you I would like to ask you "WHY and WHEN oh faithful of
GOD?"  Why do you doubt when GOD's resume is ever fresh in your life.  When
will you stop carrying GOD around in your pocket as if he is the special
weapon when your back is against the wall?  GOD should be in your heart
filling every aspect of your life.  Even in the smallest details of your
life GOD should be present.  GOD has plans for you.  Live as if you believe
his word.  That new job is already waiting for you. That child you have yet
to meet face to face has already had his/her life planned out by the Father.  Your
husband is being shaped and molded to your heart even as we speak.  Do not
defeat yourself just because your timetable is not being met.  Do not give
up on GOD just because of "what the situation looks like".  GOD is the master
of all situations and allows failure, and success for the greatest impact
for his will and glory.  You have to have faith that whatever the situation
is in your life is fitting into his plan.  You have to align yourself in his
will and keep your hope in him so that when life happens you can trust GOD
has control  
 
When you believe in GOD just to the point of having faith in him to do what
you can accomplish yourself, then all you have is a religion, and not a
relationship with GOD.  GOD wants you to move past your initial confession
of faith into a total dependence and relationship with him.  What GOD
desires is to show you that he can and will move mountains for your benefit.
The problems in your life are just opportunities for GOD to show you his
love for you.  Those "unanswered" prayers are not GOD's absence in your
situation. Rather GOD is giving you the time to grow and prepare for what
his answer and blessing will bring.  Believe me when you only live (on average) 80
years as a human, waiting 10 years for your blessing can seem like a long
time.  Be encouraged, GOD has not forgotten about you. GOD will not fail
you. And most of all GOD has given his all to show you he loves you.
 
I love you in always, and in all ways.

HARVEST TIME!

Galatians 6:9 New International Version (NIV) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Have you ever been working, waiting, or standing in the gap for anyone? In such times of testing and prayer did you ever think how easy it would be to give up? It seems that while we are going through we loose sight of the goal GOD has set before us! We focus on our discomfort and take the burden onto our own backs instead of leaning on GOD's everlasting arms. The struggle itself is not the problem. However, our main problem is our human condition. We cannot do it all on our own. We must constantly look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we are not alone. . . Ever! We must remember who our GOD is. GOD will never allow you to go through a problem without bringing you to your blessing. It may take more time than you would like to endure. However the outcome and harvest gained is what's needed. If you are ...

LOVE. . . EVEN WHEN IT HURTS!

John 4:7-8 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  _____________________________ It sounds so easy! “Love one another”! But it is a task that takes practice and the Holy Spirit working within us to accomplish.   IT is easy to love a friend or a family member. Those who are good to us make it easy. But what about our enemies? How can we love them?   This verse does not exclude our enemies.   Those who push our buttons need our love the most.   Those who we must pray for daily need to see Christ in each one of us.   And please remember to others we are that person that needs prayer as well. Bottom Line: Loving others the way GOD loves us is not an easy task. It takes the spirit of GOD working in side of us to accomplish.   It takes the death of the old us and the new nature of Christ living in...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV). Do Not Grow Weary In Waiting!!! I have realized that we live in a society that has trained us to have everything "right now" and our way. We have become experts in getting our children to stop having temper tantrums. We grow weary when we even think about how long something may take. And the thought of working through a rough patch in our lives and marriages seems like the thing not to do. I mean!! Half of our marriages end in divorce. How can Christians fight for marri...
