From His hands to yours
My Pastor brought out an amazing point, in between, an awesome message last night. He spoke about how God does not want us to idolize or depend solely on the blessing. We should worship and depend on the giver of the blessings.
He also expressed that the people of Israel while enslaved in Egypt, were getting their basic needs met, by God, through the hands of the Pharaoh. When he liberated them through Moses, he took them into the desert and met their needs with his own hands through the manna from heaven. After they crossed the Jordan River and into the promise land, God now stopped the manna and blessed them through their own hands. Now they had to work with their own hands to get their blessings. This shows an increase in maturity and dependency on God. A process of maturing is how God personally teaches and guides us into receiving and partaking in blessings. Where are you today in relation to blessings? Are you in a difficult situation and getting your needs met by an uncomfortable source? Are you receiving provision from above, totally dependent on him caring and providing for your needs? Or, are you understanding God has equipped you with the maturity and resources necessary to pull blessings your way? Lets hear your voice!

Amen! Agree with you. This word was of illumination to our life's. The time is now for Gods people to step in His movement with action. Be brave enough to do what God is calling you to do. There is no time to doubt God. Is your God a little God or the one and only Almighty God that upon His scripture Jeremiah 29:11 says His Plans. If He is clearly saying I know the plans I have for you why do we weary or even question. As I started this fast I attempted to write down my petitions! I clearly understand this is something we should do, however as I continued to be intimate with God I could not do it. God knows what I need God knows what I want, our life's are in His Hands and His Plans are for Good never of any harm. As long as we place our life's in His hands and stay obedient to His word it will happen.
We are the generation that has been called to do radical things in His Name! Dare to hug and cry with an addict or a prostitute let a homosexual know that there is a greater being a greater love that can make all things new!
My husband and I have something that God has placed in our hearts I invite all to join in! We will be placing an order for Floating Lanterns on these lanterns we will write the scripture of Joshua 24:15 declaring Gods promises for our families and we also have asked those nearest to us to check there pantry and see if there is any food that during this time of the fast they can give to a person in need, this will allow us to step into Isaiah 58. We would like to take the time to do this out at Lake Eola before the Fast comes to an end! Please see me for more info!
God has amazing things planned for 2013 Are you ready!!!!
