I'm Going Through For You

I've heard time after time, and even said myself on occasion, people question why they go through the things they go through! I mean sickness, misfortune, and trials of every sort come and slap us square in our faces! Some even come to us in the most inconvenient of times. Then you ask someone why and the first thing from their mouths is that you have to trust in Jesus! The next thing to follow is that He'll work it out! I WANT TO KNOW WHY!!!

People have to realize that we are tested and tempted. The tempting comes from our surroundings and from our enemies, and can very well be ourselves! The tempting can lead us to the test. The test is what comes from God! The test tries our faith, tries our endurance, tries our long suffering, tries our happiness and our joy. It shakes our love and our peace. If you gather up all of your determination you can make it through! Surviving the test strengthens your relationship with God and gives you a testimony!

There are some situations that we go through, as individuals, that have nothing to do with us. They have to do with us using our experiences to strengthen somebody else's walk with Christ. In other words, there are some things that you go through that have nothing to do with you! The purpose of you going through, is so when you come out on the other side of your situation, you can share your experiences to help somebody else!

This is the good part. Some people just don't realize why they are going through. They simply cannot apply their testimony to them! Other than the fact they went through it! There will be someone that will cross your path you will need to share this testimony with. There is someone that needs to hear what you have to say! It could of been something that you came through years prior, you will have a use for it!

Just as Jesus went through it for us to look to him for help, we go through to be a help for someone else. Go through your test and endure through temptation with mindset of "I'm Going Through For You"

The Power to Change God's Mind

You can be great, or you can be just the regular guy or girl on the corner. Regardless of what you are, there are things that you must do. You still have to abide by the law of the Lord.

You have this great king, King Hezekiah. He built a great temple for God! He restored worship in the land. He tore down idols and rid them from the land. There were things that were not in order with him and his house. Scripture says that The lord spoke to a prophet to say to the King to "set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live." Isaiah 38:1 You have this great King that is supposed to be close to God, but he had to hear what thus saith the Lord from a prophet! Something was just not right!

The king turned to the wall and began to pray. Isaiah 38:2 Turning to the wall symbolized that it was him turning away from all distractions and problems and he placed himself before God. He was sickly and on his death bed and did not accept it. He pleaded with God. He prayed! Not the kind of prayer that you say what you want and its over, he placed him self in the presence of God and wept before him! The Bible says "O Lord, I beseech thee..." Isaiah 38:3 He made an urgent request of God and was very serious! He meant business! He wanted to hear from God!

The word then came to Isaiah to give word to the king that "I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. AND I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city." Isaiah 38:5,6 God will let you know that he has heard you and what he will do. Not only did he promise that he would add years to his life and he would not die then, but he also promised deliverance! How Good is God?

We have the power to change God's mind! We have to power to go before him and make our requests know in faith! Matthew 21:22 says "all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." You have to believe when you go before God! You have to bring all of your faith and some to let God know you mean business and you really expect a move from him!

Don't be fooled! Don't think you can be doing any thing that you want and decide to go before God and expect miracles. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY! You have to have your house in order! You have to be living right! You have to be treating your brothers and sisters right! You need to be doing all that you can be doing to live a life just like the life of Jesus!

Be Blessed!

I feel like going on!

Though I do get discouraged from doing this blog because I do not see an immediate response to the posts. I placed a counter on the blog and it gets very few visitors. I had to open my eyes to realize that as long as there is one visitor, and as long as that count keeps growing I should be happy. The angels rejoice when one soul comes to Christ, I am content regardless of how many people come.

I am standing on my post, doing what I have been led to do. I have been placed with a purpose and I refuse to sit around on God. I have decided to step up and step out in faith. What are you supposed to doing for God? Let's get to it!
