Going slow or going nowhere?
I’m going deliberately slower than usual for some reason. Its more a change of times and people changing around me.
Heres an extract from my English essay:
“With a new view point comes a revelation of knowledge that we never knew before. It brings new light on the topic or situation and we begin to understand things or see where people are coming from a lot better.”
Perspectives change many things and ways we see things – Gods way. At the moment mine are changing [slower than usual] but that’s beside the point. I want to be able to live my life completely free from all bondages and everything that used to tie me down.
Yet I still find myself dawdling my way through each day, not putting in much effort to sustain my relationships. I seem to take advantage of what I have, use it then when I’m done, just throw it away.
The beautiful letdown, being amped for an event or situation God put you in is cool but when you have these expectations in the world and what they are going to do, then it falls through.
We need to learn that by being expectant, is not being expectant of what’s going to happen and who’s going to be there, what our friends are going to do, or have some plan of how you think things are going to go.
Being expectant is waiting on God and seeing what He has planed for the day, situation or event. Of believing that you have no idea of what is going to happen or what Gods going to do but you just sit back enjoy the ride and let God blow your mind.
Its happened to me many times. I actually was expectant enough for God and He did blow my mind, by bestowing me another handy spiritual gift.
To actually almost not box God is what we are aiming for, giving everything over to him. Every difficulty, every problem, every deed, every word and every thought must be given to God.
All temptations are futile when we are in Christ. That basically means, every lustful and evil thought that Satan tempts us with is useless, when we are in Christ.
Being in Gods presence more and more is something that helps us grow and succeed as a follower of Christ. To know Gods thoughts and what He thinks of things is a perspective change.
When it happens Satan can’t touch us mentally because we are so close to God. There is only one thing that He can do and that is to trick us into thinking that He is stronger than God. We start to fear him and his Demons. We focus on the negative and on that and He lies to us continually into believing all that trash.
We start to commit sins which we sorted out months or years before then, and He rubs it in our face. Telling us how useless and what a failure we are as Christians.
That is all rubbish, God loves us and He wants to be with us. We are made in His likeness and He has blessed each and everyone of us individually. Those lies are not from Him, God does not tell lies, He does not make you feel guilty for sin, that is the devil doing all that, and we repeatedly beat ourselves up after that.
Don’t beat yourselves up about anything. We can do all things through Him who gives us strength, consequently we can get rid of all sins and errors in our lives, all we have to do is give it to God, and don’t worry or be anxious about anything but in prayer and petition offer your requests up to God, He is listening.
God Bless.
