God Is Whispering…

Dear Heavenly Father,

I am SO done living my own life.
I am SO done living a lukewarm life.
I’m so tired of failing & I’m so fed up with my sins.
I’m tired of being defeated in my daily battles and struggles.
I’m tired of fighting against my flesh & making poor decisions.
I feel like every-time I try to take 3 steps forward closer to You,
the enemy is constantly pulling my flesh down and then I take 10 steps backward.

Why is this SO hard?

Father would You give me the strength everyday to walk in Your ways.
Would You search me, test me, and make my heart pure so that I may see You..
Would help me strive to enter that narrow gates of Your heavenly kingdom?
Because I know many will find it, but only a few will be able to enter it.
And I want to be those few who will enter it.
I desire to stand before You my Lord, my God, my King on that judgement day and hear Your words and say,

“Well done my good and faithful servant.”

Please Father, hear my cry. Hear my prayer. Take my life and take full control of me. I want to spend eternity with You. I want to be blameless and holy before Your coming. I want to be set apart and be distinguished as Your Child. Give me the desires of Your heart and plant them in my heart so that my outmost desires are all about You and Your works. Just like what Apostle Paul said in Galatians 2:20 

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

1. Obedience keeps our relationship with God open and free.
2. Adam and Eve got what they wanted. Instead of being obedient, they received intimate knowledge of both good and evil. But they got it by doing evil, and the results were disastrous. If they had obeyed God, they would have received the…

"I am totally convinced that someone’s attitude is more important than their talents or education. A good attitude attracts good people. Gifted and talented people are always attracted to individuals with good attitudes. A good attitude is so powerful that it can open doors that years of experience cannot. God gave us attitude to use as a tool."

Ephesians 4:31-32 (NLT)

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.  

32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

“Jesus died on the cross for you”. That is a statement is the cornerstone of our faith. As such, it is essential that we understand all of what it means. So listen up : Jesus death did more than just keep you out of Hell. It certainly did that, but when we fall into thinking that the death of…

My heart is heavy,

and I need some relief.

I must realize that I need Jesus.

Jesus, I adore You.

This single phrase has been on my heart this entire week. I can’t explain it. I’m not even going to try. But these four words can send a shiver down my spine with a single utter, with a single whisper.

I think our prayers can become so complicated, and detailed. So intricate, and filled with hot air. Sometimes four simple words is really all you need to feel the presence of the King of Kings. Nothing more.

Spiritually A Year Ago.

thesweetermelody:

Think back to where you were spiritually a year ago. 

If you were further from Christ than you are now, rejoice.
He has proved faithful, and is strengthening you daily through obedience and sacrifice. He chastises the ones He loves.

If you were closer to Christ than you are now, rejoice.
You’ve just realised the harsh truth.
You have proved unfaithful, yet He offers out a nail pierced hand filled with unfailing love. Forgiveness is within grasp. Reach out and receive.

I am a God of second chances.

I don’t care about your past, I am investing in your future. I want to give you a clean, fresh start. I know who you were yesterday and I loved you then and I still love you today and I will love you every day to come. You’re never going to exhaust my grace and…

"Why are you stressing about not being able to follow all the rules?! Walking with Jesus isn’t about rules, it’s about love. No one has to give me a rule about being kind to my wife. I treat her with kindness because I’m in love with her! Forget following rules - Let your walk with Jesus flow from your love for Him."

conformingtotheson:

This is hilarious. 

That’s the Jesus I know. LOL If you read Luke 6, Jesus is so sarcastically perfect, it’s hilarious.

unkaglen:

Lord, I know you love me the same if I succeed or if I fail, but I feel so much pressure to perform in so many areas of my life, that I find myself trying to “perform” for you. And here’s the thing, that’s got to stop. First, because I’m just not that good at being a Christian. I’m good at …

THIS^ is my life. if you ever needed to know.
