HOW MUCH DO WE TRUST?

REVELATION 21:
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
MATTHEW 4:23
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickenss and all manner of disease among the people.
MALACHI 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
2 SAMUEL 22:3 & 31
The Lord is my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; thou saved me from violence.
As for God, his way is perfect; and word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

How much do we trust the Lord? We are all with faults, and I am hoping as I search myself, that I can encourage you to do the same.

Are there areas of our life that we do what we can in, instead of doing what God says because we do not see a way? It is impossible for us to do something so we cut short on what the word says to do?

Do we not accept the healing scriptures because we feel pain? What are we supposed to do? We speak the Word into our life and step out in faith and do what the word says. We put a smile on our face and go forward. Oh, now lets be real when we hurt we hurt. How do I smile when I am in pain? Believe me I know pain. We speak against it, we tell it to go, that the word says I am healed and I am going to say it and believe it. I will not speak of the pain, I will speak of what the Lord says is mine. Healing is mine says the Lord. He does not say pain is mine. LJG and I both know pain and doctors. We sit here each day LJG on a breathing machine and I with pain burning through my body. Do we accept it, no we believe God for the healing He said belongs to us and we will believe it in spite of not seeing it? We will not give up, He said it, and it is so.

Now lets go a step farther. Do you pay tithes and offerings on all that you receive? Or do you pay the bills and give God what is left over? You are putting Him in second place if you do. God says to bring the first fruits, a tenth to His warehouse and He will supply all your needs. If your needs are not being met, look in your own wallet first. How can we expect God to treat us any different then we treat Him? OUCH. We do reap what we sow.

Living for the Lord is not hard, we make it hard. How, because we do not know His scripture as we should, and we do not know how to use His words in our life’s. God’s Word cannot lie. If it did God would destroy God. He cannot sin. So if we will take the time and look up His word on any and everything in our life [and believe me it is in there] He will give us His own words to say to Him. Lord You said it and I am speaking it aloud into my life until I see it. That is how you build up faith.

I challenge you to stop, yes stop trying so hard to study the word by tearing it apart and get back to the simple basics. Think about when you where first saved, nobody could tell you God couldn’t do something, you knew in your heart that He could and would. But as you started going back into your normal worldly routine, and people started saying that is impossible, you started unbelieving what had been planted in you at your conversion. Think about it!

Get a concordance a good one, I strongly recommend Strongs and whatever it is you are facing look it up. Healing it is in there, prosperity it is in there, and wild children it is in there. Find a couple of scriptures and write them down start your morning saying them out loud, repeat them throughout the day. Plant them as you would seed, and act on them. Picture the situation, as you believe God for it to be. Speak nothing negative about it. And if you slip and we all do, repent and speak what God says, and smile be full of joy while you do. Take just one area in your life and do this and then no matter how hard you get attacked, because the devil will attack, stand your ground, take back what belongs to you whatever it is.

Heavenly Father, I think You for wisdom and knowledge, I thank You for showing me how to get the most out of my life. I thank You for raising me above what others think is normal into a God guided life with all my supplies and needs met. I thank You for taking the messes I have made in my life and straighten them up and showing me how to do it Your way not mine. Amen So Be It.

God Bless
