Subject: worth the read
: Guys this really helped me today. And wanted to share
: Blessed is the man...whose confidence is in Him. - Jeremiah 17:7 NIV
:
: Be Resolute
:
: When you know you've heard from God, be resolute. Things worth having
: never come easy. If you find yourself weakening, remind yourself that God
: has given you the grace to succeed at whatever He's called you to do!
: This means being sensitive to His voice. God's voice isn't like a hammer
: pounding on your head; it's more like a gentle prompting within. Paul
: says: "We serve...[under obedience to the promptings] of the Spirit" (Ro
: 7:6 AMP). Now you can ignore His promptings, disobey them, argue with
: them or even try to postpone them, but when you do that you end up
: stressed out. How could it be otherwise?
:
: The word obedience can be a real turn-off. We think of God asking us for
: a whole bunch of money or sending us to some mission field. Get real! If
: you won't turn off your television and spend a few minutes with God each
: day, what makes you think He'd tell you to go to the mission field?
: Obeying God in little things, not big ones, is the key to learning how to
: be led by Him. For example, when He prompts you not to say another word
: but you keep on talking - that's when you get into trouble, right? God's
: Word says, "If you will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your
: God...you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath" (Dt 28:1&13
: AMP). The difference between being under the situation and on top of it
: lies in one word - obedience. Want to get on top of things? Do what God
: prompts you to, and be resolute about it!
