2012 - Christian Random Thoughts Thread

loolalooh this is one that you are going to need to hear the voice of God for yourself, go back to God again in prayer and fasting even if you have already done so but only this time go differently, simply say; Father whatever you want me to do I will do, just tell me, show me, settle it in my spirit...

I hear what you're saying and I understand your reasoning and it all sounds good, but was it God saying.... don't make a move until you hear from God.

If he lead you to a place and it fell through then, trust that he is still at work..now you know our Father operates on a different plain he provides for his people inspite of the economy which I might add has nothing to do with him.

Wait I say on the Lord and remember, His eyes are on the righteous and His ear is opened to their prayer.


So frustrated ...

My mother called me today to discuss the "reality" of my situation. She doesn't get why I won't stay at this place, where it is "safe", where I can get "more" at the end. She even had my aunt call me to talk some "sense" into me.:ohwell: Plain and simple, I have absolutely no desire to be at this place.:sad: I try to find the desire but nothing. It also doesn't help that obstacles have presented themselves over the course of my time here. (I'm used to obstacles, but these obstacles have a "foreign" nature to them. They don't feel like "I am testing you" obstacles, but like "you are not meant to go this route" obstacles.:ohwell:)

I've been praying and praying, and though God led me to the original place that fell through and eventually gave way to this place, I don't feel in my spirit that He intends for me to stay here.:nono: However, I do question my spirit.:perplexed It doesn't help that the economy, my mother, and a few other factors, all point to me "sucking it up" and staying here in the "safe" place.

I get that there are times when God wants us to do something that we may not want to do. However, this doesn't feel like one of those situations.:perplexed I tell Him "God, my staying here doesn't glorify You. You can use me so much more in the other place." I ask him "God, if you want me to stay here, then put the desire on my heart." Nothing. Despite what I see in the "natural" and despite what my mother says, my desire is drawn towards another place ... a place where I feel God could use me. However, what if I'm being presumptuous about how God can use me?:ohwell:

I don't believe I would disappoint the Lord by going to the other place. The other place would give me a church home again. :) It would put me in the presence of the world. (We are to be like "salt" and the opportunity does not present itself here.) It would put me in a financial position to better help the hungry. But at the same time, that place isn't here yet.

However, when I get calls like this one making the "reality" all the more real, I start to question Him. "Am I being stupid to think You'll come through for me at the last minute?" "Am I being blind to think You want me to go to the other place?" "Are my desires of the flesh or are they of the spirit?":wallbash:

All I have are a few scriptures that I "thought" He revealed to me recently. Scriptures encouraging me that He is in motion and that I should wait. I would feel so much more confident if He would just "speak out loud" to me. We all know that we can twist certain Scriptures to say what we want them to say. The enemy attempted to do so to Jesus.
 
God I don't know how many sleepless nights I will be able to take. I cried yesterday because I'm sad some chick I won't go into details in my pov has it all. She has the life I desire to have. It's so not fair that you make me go through all this being poor for life. Didn't think my life would make me so darn sad. I'm not looking for upliftment anymore as it seems it doesn't work. All I'm trying to do is be good and pure,not do what I want to do, and grow. It seems at every turn something is horrid. I wish for a time frame where I could really enjoy my life, be happy, and can say of this is a great time. I so tired right now I just want to pass out at work. This job is suppose to be my blessing but all I can feel is tension and worry. Am I going to lose this one like I did a job before ? Am I going to be noticed and promoted or will it take a million years being in a role that has admin duties. I try to say to myself that your at least being expoused to your field. I just want a great income and the ability to live..right now I'm just merely existing..rant over and feel a touch better..will try to re-read my devotional before I drive into a medium.
 
Ecclesiastes 2

22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? 23 All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.
24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God
 
Ecclesiastes 3

9 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? 10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

12I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, 13 and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
 
People see her glory but they don't know her story. God has been blessing my aunt left, right and center and I am beyond happy for her. She has been through sooooooooo much, just to think about it makes me tear up. Her testimony is the ultimate "what the devil meant for evil, God made for good."
She has battled jealousy and envy from so many sides.
God is so good, just a praise report.
 
Instead of railing at adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals and the like--why not take all that energy and pray for them? If MY people who are called by my name would pray and seek my face, I will heal the land...that's us! First of all...prayer! 1 Timothy 2:1. If you really want to see something happen, focus the attention on the one who can actually do something about it.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:


Set a post in a high place spiritually where you can see and discern every move of the enemy. You must keep yourself in a constant state of awareness and ready to fight against each attack as it comes. But, you must delineate people from demonic forces. Your battle is not against those around you, but against the devil. Your war is in the spirit and not in the natural realm. You will gain the victory through faith, says the Lord.

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

II Timothy 2:25
Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will learn the truth. (New Living Translation)

The verses of II Timothy 2:24-26 contain my calling and ministry purpose. Here in verse 25, Paul gives Timothy a revelation into the purpose of God. Many of us want to "shut down" those that oppose the truth using a renegade style. Don't you remember the response of Jesus when Peter cut off the ear of the high priest's servant? Even when we mean well and want to defend the Lord, He wants the soul of the one in opposition. To gently instruct means to take them by the hand and lead them from where they are to where God would have them. It takes a desire to relate to someone you want to reveal God to. If you have no interest in them, chances are they will have no interest in you or your God! Whatever happened to speaking the truth in love? God changed Paul's heart: God changed Peter's heart: God changed your heart. The truth always penetrates, especially when seasoned with grace. You don't need to explain the entire bible in a week. Gentle instruction involves practical life lessons more than stuffing chapters and verses down people's throats.

I just broke down at work.....I feel like I am about to literally fall into a million pieces. I feel like I'm being persecuted. I keep asking God what did I do wrong? Because I feel like only an evil, horrible bad person should be going through all the things that I am going through. Lord at this time when I see only one set of footprints in the sand, carry me as only You can. Protect my babies. Help me to show them love even though all I have in my heart is despair and fear.
 
@crlsweetie912

I speak the peace of God over you right now in the name of Jesus!

Find comfort and take rest in him now, what you are going through is only temporary Sweetie, you are gonna come through like pure gold don't loose heart, hang in there you are not alone...
