2013 - Christian Random Thoughts Thread

It truly is hard to just be in God rather than do. Right now in this phase of my life where I'm not sure if I will make it to the end of the month money wise I have to really stay firm not to do anything outside of God as a it's a slap in the face of God. Do I feel God is able yes but will he provide I don't know. I know that is bad as it still shows how I don't trust God fully. It's scary to think about honestly.

I also notice while reflecting that I have placed myself in this position. I feel I limit myself too much in way of making money and go for safe jobs but want to complain about lack. I know I'm capable of doing much more but my resume and experience isn't reflecting such. I know your thinking why is this being posted here but for me it's all higher level in my eyes. I felt being poor and helping people was doing good but it's not. I don't want to covet my neighbor ie people here and in real life for having nice things and being able to really enjoy the luxury of life. I really wish I had a trusted person to take me under their wing and see what do I need to do in order to have better track-age. The trajectory of my life right now is going no where and I'm already 27 and that isn't cute.

I don't want to just spin my wheels and one can only pray so much. I don't want to keep just scurrying and not moving any where. I was listening to the sermon yesterday and pastor mentioned one shouldn't just move in order to find more money if they are planted in a good church or to make sure you will be able to find another good gospel based church.

Pray for me ladies I guess it's always darkest before the dawn.
 
I need clarification
I need to know if what I'm doing is what God wants me to do
am I where He wants me to be?
feeling very "blah" lately
I want to be about My Father's business
and right now, I'm not sure....

I just feel like I'm going back into a preparation season, which always tends to get kind of lonely. I don't know whether its just preparation for a new phase in my career, preparation for a mate, some other change, or just going to a new level in my walk, but I know it's time to embrace it. I can tell because that's when distractions come my way. I have to get prayed up. Praying for my family as well...there's a lot going on, a lot of stress. Wish my fam could just feel some relief for a while. Also I feel like stress is aging me, God has really been talking to me about that.
 
JaneBond007 Thank you love. Today is a new day. I'm mulling over your statement right now.

I can't bring myself to read the Boston bombing info. There's enough pain in my everyday I don't want to be outdone and it's only 8ish here. I pray for the familes who lost loved ones though as their lives have just changed in a instant of utter maddness. God allowed this I pray the message is learned and comfort comes down quickly.
 
G-d trumps man's logic all day long...

I Samuel 16:17

"But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

Jeremiah 10:23

"O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps."

I Corinthians 1:27

"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."
 
Eccl 11:5
As you know not what is the way of the wind, or how the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a pregnant woman, even so you know not the work of God, Who does all.
 
The devil will give us a bad idea and encourage us to act on it. He never show us the destruction and death that result in following through on that bad idea--the consequences from that choice. A wise person never keeps making the same mistakes that have severe consequences. Only a fool has to be rescued several times. Fools run into trouble head first.
 
My mom is my mother, but she's also my sister in Christ. I treasure her and other sisters in Christ being here. Stewing on this on-time Word she texted me today:

John 8
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”

Are you free?
 
Lord I thank you for the food I have right now. I know there are others who don't have anything. I don't want to be someone who disregards the provision that you have already provided. Help me not to get sad by not having means. I know this won't always be and that I know it has been this way for many many years. I know that I have made some dumb choices in my life and I have to sit in the consequences until something happens. It hurts and it's maddening to feel that I work for nothing but the essentials. I know there are others who would be happy to just have the rent paid.


I pray one day when I'm better money wise that I will be able to be there to help others and not be tight with money and bless others just because since I haven't had that done for me I want to do it for others. I will cling to the Word and promises that your Word says vs my desires. I don't want to just spin my wheels in this world and make another mistake. I want to get my MBA I know that I have wanted it but I have been to scared to go for it. I have tried to be content in just having a BA but it's nothing to me nor society. I know a advanced degree will be important for me to branch into a new career. I need prayer and direction I pray something happens soon.

Many things have been paid for at Calvary...God wants us to ask...ask for wisdom. He wants to give you wisdom. He doesn't want it to be hidden or a strange thing to His Children. It doesn't have to be missing...

"But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all."

GOD'S WORD FOR YOU TODAY:

When we are secure in Christ, we recognize there is no need to fight a battle Jesus has already won. Victory will not be.. it is.

To trust God is to rest in Him.

Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

2 Thessalonians 1:6
God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you.

How does tragedy become triumph; pain become gain; defeat become victory; heartache become contentment and joy? We quickly forget there is a divine, productive purpose behind every event in life. Even when the enemy is allowed to vex you, there is a leash and a limit on what he can do. Always keep this in mind: even Satan will one day answer for his rebellion, and he too will bow his knee and confess with His tongue that Jesus is Lord! God never abstractly lets you go through trouble. He fully intends to repay every troublemaker. It can be difficult to see the long term benefit when someone is troubling you. On the flip side, when God is blessing you, it will still continue to work together for your good in the long run. So, in a sense, God is turning blessings into even greater blessings, and glory into even greater glory! Let us also not forget that we become targets for chastisement when we allow ourselves to be tools to cause trouble. When the child of God cries out to God, even another child of God should be sure that we're not the cause of their cry.

"Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."

There's greater things at play here
far greater than ego and pride
Difficult, but not about me
Bless and pray....remember always to bless and pray for

Prayers That Proclaim

Luke 13:12

12But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”

When you have a need, do you pray or do you plead? Do you begin your prayers with words like, “Please God, please! God, I beg You to have mercy!”

Prayers that plead and beg imply that your heavenly Father is not willing to do it. Yet, He is far more gracious and willing to give to you than you are willing to ask, think or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20) He desires above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2)

In fact, long before you have a need, God has already met that need. Long before you knew you needed a Savior, He sent His Son to be your Savior. This is your God! He is a good God. So when you beg Him for something, you are actually saying that He is reluctant to give and needs to be persuaded strongly before He will move. Yet, He is not like that.

Jesus knew the heart of the Father. When He saw the woman bound with a spirit of infirmity, He did not pray, “Oh Father! She has been suffering for 18 long years! I beseech You, Father, have mercy on her. Please, please heal her!” No, when Jesus saw her, He immediately proclaimed, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity,” because He knew the heart of the Father. He knew that the Father wanted her delivered from her crippling condition.

At the end of a church service, I don’t stand and pray, “Oh God, please bless Your people. Oh God, do keep them. Oh God, be ever so gracious to them!” Instead, I proclaim, “The Lord bless you. The Lord keep you. The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you!”

Beloved, when you pray, proclaim your healing, protection and provision because your Father’s heart overflows with love for you. And when you declare it, He sanctions it. When you declare it, He establishes it!

I posted this about a year ago yet I feel led by the LORD to post it again. Lord, open the heart, mind, and spirit of the one(s) who shall receive.

God is repositioning some of you and the process is painful but let me encourage you to surrender to the pain of the process for it shall posture you back into HIS original position that He ordained for you in the beginning. This repositioning is setting you back in order. Just as a dislocated or broken bone is reset, repositioned, so is it with you. He's replacing you back to your proper state, your original position of spirit over flesh and HIS divine order! Your SET PLACE is under His rule, reign & regency...ORDER. You've been dislocated, you've been broken, you've been dislodged, stuff happened that caused you to move, to shift from your destined position but God is positioning you back. I hear the cries of those in my spirit this morning that have been crying out to the Lord for their position back in HIM not for a title in a church or for fame but to be back in right alignment with Him! To be postured in the heart, mind, body and spirit, to be one with Him through love and obedience, God has heard your cries and He's repositioning you! There's a place in this repostioning that will cause you to be anchored and fastened in Him. Whatever falls off wasn't to be attached....God is repositioning you.

God is a provider. I won't go into detail but God is just awesome and great. I look forward to the future something I never really could do. I will trust in the Lord as he is a loving father nothing like I think. Thank God he doesn't disown us after failing.
 
God's Great Love For Humans

Christ is the breathing forth of the heart, life and spirit of God into all the dead race of Adam. He is the seeker, the finder, the restorer of all that, from Cain to the end of time, was lost and dead to the life of God. He is the love that prays for all its murderers; the love that willingly suffers and dies among thieves, that thieves may have a life with him in Paradise; the love that visits publicans, harlots and sinners, and wants and seeks to forgive where most is to be forgiven. - William Law
 
The four lepers together agreed.... today is the day of glad tidings. Let's not hold our peace, that we might save a life that blossom into a multitude. Amein~
 
A Christian always brightens up the room in our behavior and actions. People never examine words. They look at our lives and then, form opinions. We don't have to be over the top for people to notice a difference or make them what what we have(i.e., Jesus on the inside). Your life can be the life that causes others to make positive changes instead of negative ones:

I don't need everyone to hear me say I'm a Christian but I need everyone to see Christ in me. -Nishan Panwar

Psalm 37:3-4 NKJV

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
 
whew sometimes i feel like i cant keep my strength...family problems just weighing me down but I will continue to have faith and stay in prayer!!! I just had to vent real quick cause my fast is not about me which is what i had started it on but has turned into me interceding for my family! I'm thankful and dont want God to see this as me being ungrateful....I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me!
 
As a Christ Follower, we must stand and after we have done all to stand....STAND with our armour on and defeat the enemy, no matter what.

So tired of reading such vitriol on this forum...just waiting for this to be over:perplexed.
 
When I read the news about natural events around the world, it brings to remembrance the significance of the Sea and the mysteries surrounding it.

Ecclesiastes 1:7
All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

Psalms 135:6
Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
