I refuse to Leave my Relationship with my God

God also said to Abram, "I am Yahweh who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans yo give you this land to possess." But Abram said, " lord God, how can I know that I will possess it?"Genesis 15:7,8

Aren't you grateful for Abram? I am! His humanity gives me hope. As I watch The Lord draw him into a relationship I am mindful of how my God draws me. I see it more when I am not listening to the noise, but rather am quiet before Him.

God answers Abram. He tells him to bring various animals as a sacrifice and Abram lays them out, cut in half. They stay there, with birds and flies wanting their part and Abram drives them away. Eventually he falls asleep and when he wakes it is dark and he sees a fire pot and flaming torch appeared and passed between the parts of the animals and God made a covenant with Abram.

Abram did not believe automatically, God had to woo him. Just as God wooed Abram, He woos us.

Yesterday I had been selling a young recruit the vision of my business. She is a Christian and I waxed eloquently about how God leads me in faith. I went back to the office and a test came. I refused to waver. My God is my infinite supply. Tonight, a case I thought was gone came to life, just as a flames do out of dying embers when a breeze comes. This afternoon I went to have my nails done ( yes I know you don't need to know that, but hang on it is important). I had no thought of selling. Lo and behold an old client of mine who worked in the same premises, from 10 years ago, walked up and said how she wants to see me.

As I refuse to budge I am blessed. Before the revival of the case I mentioned I had a call about the workmen needing to do more than expected in my new premises, more money please.

Abundance is mine, if I say it is, expect it is and see myself in a blessed relationship with the God of heaven.

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
