Follow Me, I will take you
on a journey such as you have never been. We will start with a journey through
My holy Word. Then I will show you great and mighty things such as you have
never known.
You will ask of Me, and I
will answer you. You will request of Me, and I will grant your requests. You
shall speak, and the angels will go forth to perform it.
It all begins with
following Me into My Word. Come, join Me there – I have so much more to give
you, My children, than what you now enjoy. I desire to shower you in blessings
of all kinds while you are yet in the earth. There are so many places for you
to go, so much I want you to see and experience, all while following Me. I
created the world for My children to enjoy in abundance.
If you could only see the
life I want for you, you would not cease to be in My Word, following Me.
I am waiting there for you
now.
Luke 9:23 And
he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Hebrews 1:14
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them
who shall be heirs of salvation?
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
I love this word! I want to go on this journey Abba!! I feel like I'm not allowed to...because of my rocky faith. I know this isn't the case, but I'll explain what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI think God sees me as a toddler or stunted Christian. Despite the fact that I am sincere in my faith...I haven't grown much in the 10 years I've been saved. It seems like a lot of Christians have this problem, but with me it seems to be more obvious. I really love God. Although I often have tantrums with God, begging for: comfort, revelation, and change. It's embarrassing how my closet time with the Lord is so dramatic...from anger to passion. I really want a better relationship with God. Even today's Bible reading was full of drama.
Please pray for me. The enemy keeps getting me to walk away from God by telling me I don't deserve to walk in the light...or something like that. Because of my immaturity I feel vulnerable. The spiritual warfare I've learned this past year has helped because there is so much darkness around me. When I was younger I thought it would never leave me. The first warfare techniques I learned were calling on Jesus , quoting Scriptures, and casting out fear with love. I could barely survive. I would never go back to those times. I actually thought God was punishing me through fear...and I kept begging to be taken to heaven.
One night I felt like there were Angels that came to visit me. I was getting attacked by fear several nights my freshman year of high school. The spirits would try to stop me from breathing or moving. This one night the fire alarm went off. I felt so guilty about past sins...and I was so worn down from the fear...that I went screaming out of the room...to where I thought the angels were...and begged them to take me, in my spirit. From my mouth all I was doing was screaming. My family of course made fun of me and got upset at me. The whole next year I would ask God to take me to heaven. I wanted to die. But because my Uncle had committed suicide when I was younger, I was very aware that it was not right and brought darkness into the entire family. So I kept asking God to take me.
Every time I get very close to God, I get shaken up and the fear spirit, or one of my other recruiters (hatred, pain) comes after me. I'm so alert to it by now. It's starting to happen again... and it's such a struggle to stay close to God. Once those get me they try to plant unbelief and guilt to keep me from returning to God. I really hate this. It's the reason most of my saved years were actually prodigal years. I learned the way to heal double-mindedness is through a pure heart..so I really want to overcome this forever.
***
James 4:8(KJV)
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
***
So now I see why God kept talking to me about purifying my heart. Please pray for me. I am very weak in my faith right now.
What u just post read it again slowly to yourself. You have grown in the Lord. You articulated things that you have learned! Stay encouraged. Make a commitment to read God's word every day,even if it's a paragraph. Praying for u :-)
DeleteAgreed with churchgirl (:
Delete"For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father." Romans 8:15
You Gods child . whenever you fear run to him and express your fears to him i recomend journaling it helps me alot and im new on the walk as well as a senior in highschool and trust me i can relate with you even on the level as our fire alams going off in the middle of the night.. I felt like i was the only one going through something like this... Well a word of encouragement from me to you is We are given a Spirt of Power, of Love, and a Sound Mind!🌸
I think you read "A Devine Revelation of Spiritual Warfare" by Mary. K. Baxter. God gives he devine revelation with scriptures how we are to defeat the works of Satan and putting on the whole amour of God. A...I used to be fearful. God doesn't want his children to be faithful. He has given us all power over the enemy thru his son Jesus Christ. You know what I did I prayed and talk to God about me being fearful, I wanted to be delivered from that spirit of fear that torment. I asked God to deliver me from it and I had faith that he would and he did. We have peace with God. He doesn't want us to be fearful because if we be fearful we would never walk in the fullness of God's calling on our lives. We will start to look back and go back into the world we're there is no peace and our lives are in danger there's we maybe killed. I go to a praying and Holiness Church and God blessed me with a pastor and ministers that will preach his word with fear and trembling no sugar coating or cherry picking the Scriptures That will teach you how to put on the whole armour of GOD to fight and walk upright in faith to God. This walk requires faith. I'm speaking to my self also A... We have to trust in God.
DeleteI meant to say he doesn't want his children to be fearful but faithful.. sorry
DeleteOh Lord. I feel he is constantly talking to me here. I will follow you. I will obey.
ReplyDelete1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV
ReplyDeleteBut as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
So God is basically saying "read the Bible"? I have been reading it for more than 10 years almost daily and nothing has happened...what can I be doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteRaul Montoya - That will happen if you are reading without understanding. Get yourself a really good study bible, and maybe a Strong's Concordance and try that. The 2nd edition KJV study bible has excellent notes, and you will understand what you read far better, and you will actually get something out of it. It also helps to pray for God to give you eyes to see and a heart of understanding before you read it. Hope this helps you - Glynda
ReplyDeleteI heard a pastor say recently that the bible is the only book that the author has to b there for u to understand
ReplyDeleteWell, if you are born again, He lives inside you so He is there when you read the Bible.
DeleteWhat I've learned and still learning is abiding John 15:4. Doing nothing of yourself. You can read the bible a part from God...in your own strength. You can lead yourself, set your own times ( how long and what you decide to read) and goals that have absolutely nothing to do with His agenda. He may want you to study and read longer but you've gotten into "fleshly works" territory which is void of understanding void of His leading; fruitless.
ReplyDeleteI pray for everyone including myself on this page that The Lord leads us in understanding His word and quickly applying it to our lives.
Amen this is so true sister. When you fully submit your self whole heartily living for God, worshiping him in spirit and in truth, walking by faith and obedience to his word. He will give you the understanding in his word. The holy ghost will give you understanding in his word. I am a growing babe in Christ who reads the KJV Bible and God gives me understanding in his word. If I do not know what he is talking about I ask a mature saint/older saint that can give me revelation in his word. A lot of times us babes in Christ think we need a Newer version of the Bible to understand what God is saying but that is not so. Too many of the newer versions of the Holy Bible take away the or Add to God's Holy perfect Word.
