When "Life Happens" - What?

When things are going great, it's easy to trust God.  You know, the bills are paid, your health is good, family is safe; in other words, there is no distraction lurking outside your door.  You are full of smiles.  You have no real complaints. You are busy with plans, good times and happiness.  Then one day, it hits you like a ton of bricks - a life changing event occurs.  All of a sudden your world is inside out. You find yourself hopeless with no ability to bring about change. People please be informed that the real test of trust occurs when things are not going so great.

So what should a person do when faced with adversity, a challenge, a life issue, or just misfortune?

First, understand that "life happens" to us all and you are not alone. Second, understand that trusting God is more than a notion and the issue you are facing will heavily depend on your trust in Him. To help you get through your situation, God has provided his Word.  He has given you his beloved son, Jesus, with the authority to provide help when you are in need.  He has given you countless examples of people before you to study and emulate their behavior.  He has given you his Words to deploy at will on your behalf.  He has given you the Holy Spirit, the "muscle of God", to bring His Word to pass. 

When trouble comes your way, take action by taking the Word of God, believing and having faith that He will do what He said He would do.    

   

Loving God

Loving God is losing self and self interest to do the will of God.  Loving God is being Christ like in mind, spirit and deeds.  Loving God is allowing him to flow freely in you, through you and accepting his guidance even though you think otherwise.  Loving God is listening to his every instruction with a desire to be obedient.  Loving God is simply being a vessel for the master's use.  Loving God is not wondering how, what or why, but knowing that He is and will bring it to pass.  Loving God is trusting in Him totally for all things, in all ways, and at all times.  Loving God is a walk we should strive for no matter where we are in life.    

Give God's Word Your Voice

No matter what you are going through right now; no matter what the situation is; no matter how long you've been at it, Give God's Word Your Voice.  When trouble comes your way or when you have no where to turn, Give God's Word Your Voice.  There is tremendous power in the Word of God, but it must be activated.  The Word of God has the ability to change things and deliver results, but it (His Word) must be activated.  Open up your mouth and activate the Word of God.  Give God's Word Your Voice.   Say what He has said regarding your challenge.  Let the words of your mouth be filled with God's Words.  Meditate on God's Words.  Say out loud what God has said.  Speak life to your challenge and believe. 

Plain and simple, keep the Word of God alive by constantly saying what God has said on your behalf and by doing so, you are giving God's Word Your Voice.      
 

Yesterday, Today, and Forever

Hebrews 13:8 says that "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever".  We've heard this truth preached in the churches, on evangelitical stations, and written in numerous books.  But what is the jist of this message?  How do I apply this message every day?  Tell me, tell me, some of you may be asking.  Before I begin, let me say, that I do believe in God and Jesus and do love them.

In order to know the sameness of Jesus, you must know Him.  You must have a personal relationship with him.  You must recieved Him as you savior.  For those of you who need salvation go to John 3:16, read, do and receive Him today.

To know the sameness of Jesus, you must know who He is, what He has done or did, and by default, you will know what He will do.  Jesus is the son God, or the Word of God, or if you will, "the action of God".  Jesus knows what God knows and does what God wants done in the earth, on the earth and for us.  Jesus is  God.  For example, the bible tells us that it is the will of God for us to be in good health.  Knowing this, when sickness comes at our door, you and Jesus know the will of God.  God healed people yesterday (years ago).  He healed people today; and He will heal people tomorrow.  Knowing this you can call on Jesus for the "action of God" to fall on your life/body and asked to be healed in the name of Jesus.  Plain and simple - God wants you healed.  He wants you to have an abundant life.  There is no mystery about it.  Plain and simple received your healing through Christ Jesus.  Plain and Simple, you also have to believe that you recieved and don't doubt.
