Hello again everyone. . . It's sure been a good while since I've had a chance to write. Oh boy or boy, where to start!? It's been one big mess - or the devil has been tryin' to make it one big mess anyway. However, he might have succeed a bit, but I did fight him off and I am back on track now! ALL to the Glory of God!! You know, when we put God first in our lives, mind, heart and everything, it really is sooo much easier! I have found that out a while back when I first came back to Him, but also here lately when I kinda put God on the back burner and tried to handle with me, myself & I. NOT a good thing to do. . . not if you are wanting the life, the love, joy, happiness, peace and everything that goes along with God - everything that is God! So, I finally figured out what I have been telling everyone for so long - PUT GOD FIRST. . . start your day out with Him, first & foremost, keep Him there throughout your day and consult Him in everything you do, want to do and pray to Him about everything and anything. Jesus lives on the inside of us, in our heart and we need to keep Him in the forefront of our minds as well. Tryin' to do things our self or our own way - without consulting Him, does not usually end well, at least it doesn't for me since I have made Him my Lord and Savior. 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. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV . . . You will NOT believe that I was trying to think exactly how this verse went word for word and thought, "we'll, I had better look it up so I am not misquoting God's Word and low and behold, this is the verse that was on Biblegateway.com when I went to look up this scripture. . . it's the daily verse for today! Talk about confirmation!! But that is exactly how God works, if you let Him or if you keep yourself open to His Blessing.
So, what I suggest is to 1. ALWAYS, under all circumstances, put God first and foremost, above anything and everything else - including family. There are times when a wife or husbands thinks that they should come first to their significant other or in the marriage. This is NOT true; God comes first even in a marriage. If you put Him first, He is always there for you and helping you in that marriage. Making that marriage stronger and building both of you up, towards Him and Blessing you in everything that you do, whether it be alone or together. 2. Pray about everything! Asking God which direction He wants you to do, what He wants you to do and what He has for you to do or has for you period is the only way to go. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%205:16-18&version=NIV Amen! He will guide you, lead you, show you the way in which you should go. . . leading you on the right path, the path that He has in stored for you as a believer, as a Christian. 3. Love one another John 13:34-35
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” As you can see, it plainly states in the Bible that loving one another is a requirement. . . a new command given to us. 4. Pray for others, pray for one another as it says in the Bible. James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. We are to always pray for one another, as this is love, as God is love. And God loves it when we pray, for others and for ourselves. He loves us to ask Him for things and just to talk to Him.
If you follow all of these, and you truly believe that God sent His son to die for us, have made Him your Savior and live for Him, then you can't lose. You will be Blessed as God loves you. He loves you so much, that He gave His only Begotten son to die on the tree for you. He shall supply all of your needs according to His riches in Glory in Christ Jesus!
Just remember, get as close to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit as you can! They are always there for you. . . just don't ever get too comfortable or think you are so in there with God, that you can take it on your own. So don't do what I did, thinking that you can do it all by yourself, because you really, truly can't. God wants us to rely on Him and to give Him our everything - to make Him first, then He can pour out His Spirit and Blessing upon us more than we have ever desired or dreamed!
I love you all with all of my heart!
Be so very Blessed!
