Where is God?

Sin is no longer in control

"Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.  Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin.  Instead, give yourselves completely to God... Use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.  Sin is no longer your master."

Romans 6:12-14 NLT

From the top of your head to the bottom of your feet - inside and out - you are made for God's glory.  Therefore, break the chains of sin that are holding you bondage to darkness and begin to treat yourself as God's glorious child; live in freedom and live a life that shines brightly before all men. 

Overcoming obstacles that are trying to block God's purpose for you

“It is not by strength that one prevails; those who oppose the Lord will be shattered… He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

1 Samuel 2:10 NIV

What you see in the natural as obstacles are what God sees in the divine as opportunities to raise you higher than you are right now.  So look at your, so-called, obstacles and impossibilities, and SMILE!  You are being lifted up and over by the mighty hand of God to your next glorious victory; your next big step on the ladder toward heaven.

So turn, now, away from the obstacle before you and kick the fear-worry-dust off your feet, it isn't worth your time or energy to fret about it any longer; you have Christ - you have the victory!

He hears those that call on him

“God’s there, listening for all who pray, for all who pray and mean it.  He does what is best for those who fear him – hears them call out, and saves them.  God sticks by those who love him, but it’s all over for those who don’t.” 

Psalm 145:17-20 MSG

When we truly and deeply love, hope in, yearn for, and pray with all sincerity to Jesus, there is nothing that will stop him from saving us in our times of fear, distress, and even in our times of sin.

God loves you so much

God won't walk out on you.

1 Samuel 12:20-22The Message (MSG)

^20-22 Samuel said to them, “Don’t be fearful. It’s true that you have done something very wrong. All the same, don’t turn your back on God. Worship and serve him heart and soul! Don’t chase after ghost-gods. There’s nothing to them. They can’t help you. They’re nothing but ghost-gods! God, simply because of who he is, is not going to walk off and leave his people. God took delight in making you into his very own people.

No matter what you've done, God still loves you!  How could He not love you, He created you?!  He wrote every day of your life before you were ever born.  Your life is not a waste, your life is not over, and your life is not meaningless.  No, your life is just beginning and you have an amazing future ahead of you.  So, let Him in - repent, forgive, and open your heart.   God is here to stay - He will never leave you, and one you thing you can always be certain of: you can count on Him forever, to eternity and beyond!

You are His ambassador!

"And He called to Him the Twelve [apostles] and began to to send them out [as His ambassadors] two by two and gave them authority and power over the unclean spirits." Mark 6:7 AMP

Like the apostles, you, my friend, have been called.  You are an ambassador for Christ, and it is time that you stand up, go out, and do what He has called you to do.  For instance: help others; give to others; pray for others; donate; preach; lead; teach; lift someone up; take time to listen to someone; feed the hungry; clothe the poor; etc., etc. How do you know if you've been called?  By this: if you believe and worship God as our Lord and Savior, then you have been called; you are His ambassador. 

Yes, this is your time, you are His anointed to go out and do His good works; God lives within you, and He is to be shared with so many who live in darkness and fear.  So, lift your chin, raise your hands to Heaven, and ask God to pour His blessings over you - He will, and He will supply you with what you need to bless others.  

Friend, life is too short , and really isn't worth it if you live for yourself, by yourself, and to yourself.  So, live for Him - be, and live, as His chosen ambassador!!  The moment you do, your life will begin to shine; life will fill your flesh, and a new fire will ignite deep within you that no devil, beast, burden, or flesh will ever be able to put out.
