knowing our Calling

Christ’s view of us is we are his Beloved.  We must stay rooted in the word of God so as not to be tricked by false teachings.  More so, to remind our selves that Christ has given us EVERYTHING we need(2 Peter 1:3.)  It is through His promises to us that we can conquer every corruption and evil desire that is in this World.  I have learned that Christ sees me as blameless and pure in His eyes and he tells me in verse 10 of 2 Peter that if I live according to his divine nature and follow him I shall never fall.  I am serious read it your self, the bible says the word never.  God says that if we believe in ourselves the way Christ sees us and loves us, we have the ability through His love to never stumble or fall.  This is very comforting to know that our part is to believe the truth that has already been given to us.  This promise is for us to have set in our hearts, minds and souls that he is there for us and that we are His priests of the Most High.  When we put others before us, for His glory, we do not waste time on the temptations and lies the enemy tries to place before us.  We have to look at the cross and remember that was for us, through that love we need to love others, including those that try and persecute and hurt us. SELAH!

EVERY RED LIGHT!! PRAY!!

This is to all those Prayer Warriors out there and to ALL who pray.  Please pray for Maria Lavergne, she is a mother of one of my closest friends of 20 years.  She had a stroke and he is in Afghanistan.  Please pray for God’s healing on her and peace for him and that God would intervene so that he could travel to come see her. Pray that God may reach out to her and his brother and they would come to be saved and know that Jesus is real.  Already in one day she has squeezed his brothers hand and moved her leg, they are working on taking her of the respirator machine today, so PLEASE Keep praying and start if you haven’t.  A really cool way of praying for her would be at every red light you stop at, lift her up in prayer!  EVERY RED LIGHT!!!  SELAH!

Awaiting

This is one of the hardest things I have ever done.  I am “patiently” waiting on Gods answer.  Its amazing how nonchalant we are with our everyday decisions and say we are letting God be a part of it, then to realize for me I have no patience.  I want an answer to come so fast because I am like “Hey, Lord I am waiting on you.” and because of that the answer should come quicker.  Yeah it doesn’t work like that and as I have been waiting on decisions to make, more options for me arise and it becomes even more truthful for me that I will have to trust God completely in making the right decision.  Who would have ever thought that waiting on an answer from God would cause so much anxiety.  It turns out I am the one causing the anxiety because God already knows the answer, FRUSTRATING.  Then while all of this was going on a close friend of mine sends me a scripture and he says as he was studying, God placed me on his heart and the situation that I am in and gave him this scripture.  Jeremiah 29:11, yes it is a famous scripture that many people know, however, in this moment in my life it has become the most critical piece of scripture that has brought me some peace.  It was God’s way of telling me to chill and live life to the full as I wait to give you the answer that will be best for you, Anthony.  It has been pretty  cool for me in prayers of late that God adds my name as we talk.

Jeremiah 29:11-For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” AMEN to that and to Jesus for always looking out for me when I am most in need.
