Our thoughts are not God’s thoughts… Our ways are not God’s ways… It is so important that we remember that no matter WHAT the situation, God IS STILL on His throne. Listen – if there is someone that you are praying for, interceding on behalf of, and you don’t see a way it does NOT mean that there IS NO Way. The God who loved us enough to leave the glories of Heaven, to come down in the form of Man to meet us where we are at, the God Who didn’t even deny His only begotten Son to die a death He DID NOT DESERVE, Jesus – who lived a sin-less life yet gave His life for us, died upon the cross taking OUR sins upon His very self, rose from the dead defeating death, sickness, illness, disease and sin – FOR US. And even RIGHT NOW is seated at the right hand of the Father, INTERCEDING on OUR behalf – is ABLE to do SO much abundantly MORE than we can ever imagine.
DON’T PUT GOD IN A BOX
God is able to do ALL things! Trusting in God means knowing that He sees the full picture, when we only see in part! Trusting in God means knowing that God LOVES your loved ones, MORE than YOU ever could!
GOD DOESN’T HOLD THINGS BACK FROM US!
Jesus rose from the dead, victoriously defeating the devil. The battle has ALREADY been won! There is NOTHING that God CANNOT do… We just simply have to have faith in Him. Believe. Even during times when things seem insurmountable. Over and over again the Bible shows us examples of things that are impossible with man, but possible with God. God CAN reach who we think is unreachable! Hey – HE REACHED YOU! 🙂
WE HAVE TO STAND FIRM IN CHRIST!
What are you believing God for? What are you praying for? Who are you interceding on behalf of? All of these things require faith!
WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE?
We are fighting a battle that has already been won – but that doesn’t mean we are to stop fighting the good fight of faith.
YOUR INTERCESSION, YOUR FAITH MAY BE JUST THE THING THAT GOD USES TO TOUCH SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE. GOD VERY OFTEN WORKS THROUGH PEOPLE. WE ARE GOD’S CHOSEN VESSELS. YOU CAN’T GIVE UP OR GIVE IN! THERE IS TOO MUCH AT STAKE!
God has called you for a reason! Situations and things that happen often surprise us – but God is NOT surprised! He has called us for a time SUCH as THIS! Remember that Ephesians 6:12 tells us:
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Think about your own life… Who was it who led you to Christ? For me, it was Ms. Sarah Small. One of the humblest women I have ever met. The love of Christ radiated from her! SHE LOVED JESUS! And it was because of her love for the Lord, that this elderly, southern black woman – who God had placed as Director for University of Massachusetts Campus Crusade for Christ – took time to love on me, tell me about Jesus. Tell me how much God loved me by sending His Son for forgiveness of my sins. I had NEVER heard about what God had done for me. I had grown up in a town that was predominantly Orthodox Jewish. Sarah’s love for the Lord radiated from her! It was so much so that it was contagious! I SAW IT! And I Accepted it and received salvation from someone God placed in my life to show me by her actions and her love for the Lord which was palpable in ALL she did and ALL she was. God used her as a vessel at JUST the right time in my life, to bring me to Jesus. In the same manner God used Sarah in my life, He wants you to use YOU in the lives of those around you to tell others about His love. Will you? Will you forgo ALL doubt? ALL insecurities and ALLOW the God of Heaven to USE you as HIS WILLING vessel???
Don’t belittle how God can use you. Just believe that He will if you allow Him too! We are only His vessel; it is up to Him in how He does what we are open to allowing Him to do.
WE MAY NOT KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS – BUT WE AREN’T SUPPOSED TO! THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WE KNOW WHO IT IS THAT IS THE ANSWER!
We don’t have the ability to SAVE anyone! Or to change hearts! But that is NOT our job! That is NOT what God has called US to do! What He has called us to do is to pray! Is to intercede! Is to believe! Is to be WILLING to be used as a vessel for Holy Spirit to do ALL that He needs (and wants) to do in and through us! Sometimes we take on burdens that God never intended us to take!
WE ARE CALLED TO BE VESSELS BUT WE ARE *NOT* CALLED TO BE GOD! GOD ALONE IS GOD!
Do you believe that God is able to do ALL things? Do you believe that God (as Holy Spirit reached you) is able to reach those that you are interceding for? Believing salvation for? Hey – if He was able to REACH YOU than what makes you think that He can’t reach the ones that you love most???? Afterall, there is NO way you could love them MORE than the One Who created them in the first place!
Our job is to be faithful; our job is to be prayerful. Our job is to walk in love. Our job is to pray God gives us discerning spirits so we can know how we are to be used, what it is He is saying to us and even in the darkest times continue to radiate the love and light of Christ. Don’t stop trusting – no matter what is thrown your way. Don’t stop believing – remember ALL that God has brought YOU through and what it took for YOU to make a decision for Christ. Sometimes the answer doesn’t come in a way that we expect it. Our thoughts are NOT God’s thoughts, our ways are NOT God’s ways – He knows SO much more. But through it all we can trust Him. God IS faithful and He has called us for SUCH a time as this. We only have to abide in Him. Even in the most uncontrollable, unbelievable life situations – GOD IS greater. God is NOT dead; He is very much alive, and He IS able. Just keep believing, keep interceding, keep trusting, because whether or not you can see it – He’s working behind the scenes of the lives you love most. There’s a battle that is being fought in the spirit realm, even as we battle in prayer for those we love in the earthly realm and God knows JUST what it will take. We can trust Him because He’s in control. \0/ \0/ \0/
