When we refuse to give up our evil practices and stubborn ways...

"... They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.  Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel and said, "...I will no longer drive out any of the nations Joshua left when he died.  I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the Lord and walk in it as their forefathers did."

Judges 2:19,20-22

When we continually ignore the commands of the Lord, he has no choice but to let go and let us walk in our own stubborn ways.  We must remember that the Lord is polite and will not force us to do anything we do not want to do, including following him or following ourselves - our selfish ways.  So, let's not blame God when the world comes against us and darkness is winning. For we have made the choices for such consequences to be happening.  Instead let's repent, turn back to God and seek him and all his compassion. He loves us so much and is filled with so much mercy, he will turn his face back on us; he will shine his glory down; he will defeat the enemies against us; our lives will be bright again.  Yes, God is so good! And, although we make terrible choices against him, he forgives us when we repent.  He loves us, friends, he truly loves us.  Therefore, whatever the messes may be, turn to the Lord and give him back all the control.  

WOW! Prosperity – it’s simple!

“Keep the Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.  Then you will be prosperous!”

Joshua 1:8

Now I know why I’ve been in times of lack and emptiness; I followed my own rules and thoughts, as well as doing what the world told me to do, rather than God.  

WOW! This verse really hit me this time.  Prosperity is available to us all, all we have to do is follow God’s rules and commands; meditate and practice his word day and night.  The only thing hard for most of us, is we let our dignity and ego get in our way.  Well, I’m finished.  It’s God or nothing from here on out. 

How about you?  Will you join me in the big step of getting out of ourselves and getting into God?  I hope so, because I know life as we know it now (good or bad) is only on its way to getting absolutely miraculous!!

The glory of God

"... and the Glory of God appeared to all people..." Leviticus 9:22-24, The Message

The Glory of God is for us all - each of us experiencing His presence in our own unique and different ways - there is no one certain way to experience God.  Therefore, no matter what Christian denomination one practices, all of us need to stand together as one so that we can shine with the glory of God loudly, proudly, and for all the world to see.
