Knowing vs. KNOWING

Now I know that I am, this second, being used for the Kingdom,  "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven." Matthew 6:10, as Jesus put it.  I know that He is doing this in and through me and in you, according to His perfect Will. But, it is something about KNOWING and actually seeing with your own eyes His will being worked out.

Let me explain what I'm talking about, do you ever look back on a prayer you might have lifted up to the Lord and may have said to yourself, "oh! I totally forgot about that, that's why this is happening?" Well that is just the case, this summer I prayed that the Lord would place me somewhere new and different, doing something that I love and is a place where I can witness to those around me, and He did just that.  This weekend was just that, seeing the Lord move in and through you, is one of the sweetest feelings ever, a sense of Love comes over you and you know that you are far from worthy to serve Him, but being counted as a child of the Father leaves you in "Awe."

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." So knowing that the Lord has his best intentions for you and that His Will is being worked out through you is one thing, but to actually see Heaven on earth in your own life, witnessing the Spirit move is, well it, it leaves me speechless, indescribable.
My encouragement today is to ask Him what He wants for your life, and if you have, ask Him to show you, to reveal it to you.  Use the gifts He has given you, and He will show you Heaven in a brand new way, a new light..... just wait on Him.... He will place people in your life.

Smile, our God is Faithful and will never leave us.

"Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this"

I want to start off by saying, this is not my work, a good friend sent this to me and thought that everyone needs to read this.....

"On mine arm shall they trust."Isaiah 51:5

In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel is on its beam-ends, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God and God alone! There is no getting at our God sometimes because of the multitude of our friends; but when a man is so poor, so friendless, so helpless that he has nowhere else to turn, he flies into his Father's arms, and is blessedly clasped therein! When he is burdened with troubles so pressing and so peculiar, that he cannot tell them to any but his God, he may be thankful for them; for he will learn more of his Lord then than at any other time. Oh, tempest-tossed believer, it is a happy trouble that drives thee to thy Father! Now that thou hast only thy God to trust to, see that thou puttest thy full confidence in him.

Dishonour not thy Lord and Master by unworthy doubts and fears; but be strong in faith, giving glory to God. Show the world that thy God is worth ten thousand worlds to thee. Show rich men how rich thou art in thy poverty when the Lord God is thy helper. Show the strong man how strong thou art in thy weakness when underneath thee are the everlasting arms. Now is the time for feats of faith and valiant exploits. Be strong and very courageous, and the Lord thy God shall certainly, as surely as he built the heavens and the earth, glorify himself in thy weakness, and magnify his might in the midst of thy distress. The grandeur of the arch of heaven would be spoiled if the sky were supported by a single visible column, and your faith would lose its glory if it rested on anything discernible by the carnal eye. May the Holy Spirit give you to rest in Jesus this closing day of the month.

-Feel free to comment, have a blessed day and know that we all go through struggles, trials and tough times but Jesus says..... John 16:20-22  "You will grieve, btu your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor.  When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world.  So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice and no one can rob you of that joy."
