Going for God

Have you ever looked up and wondered how many stars there are in the Galaxy? Or wondered how things come about? Like how the world becomes so broken? God knows all. He understands all. 
In Psalms 147:3-5 it says:
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars; and he calls them all by name. GREAT is our Lord and MIGHTY in power; His understanding is infinite."
It is mind blowing on how much God knows and understands. We could talk to him about anything and he would get it, like really get it. He would be caring and understanding about it. How crazy is that? God is Good. He heals us when we need healing then he throws out the baggage that we carry. AMAZING. 


What if we could understand like God understood? Would we use it in the way God did?
What if we could have all the knowledge like God? Would we be humble like God, or boastful because we were all knowing?


There is so much brokenness in the world today, what if we prayed to God for the gift of understanding to help us make an impact. Would we use it in the right ways? Would we help heal the broken hearts of the world? Or would we just help when we wanted to? See God calls us to be his hands and feet, to go out and help the poor, the broken, the orphans, and the widows. Are you willing to GO for GOD? Willing to go out into the broken world and make a difference? God will be with you through it all. So, GO FOR GOD.

Time.

In Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 is says: 
"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silent, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace."
See, God tells us that we are going to have the ups, downs and all arounds part of life. He didn't promise us a perfect life, but he did promise he would be there every step of the way, and he keeps that promise even on the days when it feels as if you are completely by yourself. 

NEWS FLASH!
The devil uses our weaknesses to make us feel alone, to make us feel as if NO ONE, not even God, cares. But that is FAR from the truth. Our lord and savior is ALWAYS there, even on the days we don't feel like he is, he is surrounding us. 
The devil uses our weaknesses to mess with our emotions. To make us mad, sad, angry, over the little things in life. He makes us think we should be mad at God that something didn't go right. But that's not the case. WE should be happy with our Heavenly Father all the time because he paid the biggest price so that we may live.


So, yes there is a time for everything in life, but during those low periods, praise God. During those high periods, praise God. During all the moments in life, PRAISE GOD, because he is with you every moment of everyday throughout your life no matter what it is time for, he is there. During war, peace, love, hate, silence, embraceable moments, weeping, laughter, mourning, dancing, breaking down, building up, killing, healing, birth, and even death. God. Is. Always. There. No matter what it is time for. 


So, knowing that God is with you always, what season are you in? What are YOU GOING TO DO in this time?

Letting Go and Letting GOD!

wow, it has been awhile since I have been on here. I wish I could say that it is because I had no time, but in reality, I didn't make any time. Not a lot had changed, the boys I posted about still need prayer, they ALL need prayer. I just got home from a conference at the International House Of Prayer in Kansas City, God works in mighty ways... The one thing that God spoke into me is that, I need to trust him and give him my heart 100%, which for the most part I had. But I had been carrying some BIG baggage for a long time, I just try my best to hide it. But I need to do as Micah 7:7 says, "Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the GOD of my SALVATION; My GOD will hear me." Its wrote right there in stone, but yet it is hard for me to totally give it all to God, but I am getting there. I have had a hard heart when it comes to letting people in, yes, that includes God. But I shouldnt be that way with God, I mean, he should be the one I could trust through anything. But yet its hard... my parents and my brother, I trust with my life, but just the thought of letting someone, letting GOD take control, CONTROL, of my heart...well that to me seemed almost impossible for the longest time. I always said GOD had my heart, but in reality I tried to fill the void with other relationships but that couldn't and WOULDN'T work. God needed to be in charge, I needed to let him start tearing down the walls that I worked so hard to build up... the walls of insecurity, the walls of loneliness, the walls of broken trust... they all had to come down, but letting God actually have my heart, feeling the Holy Spirit come in and TAKE OVER is the best feeling you could ever have. I know God has great and mighty plans for me, and I am ready for what he has in store... Are you ready to let God take over and see what he has planned for you?
You can only make a difference, if you get help...From GOD!
Let GO! Let GOD!!
