He Is Still Looking.

As we continue in this time period which is unique to His-Story. A time when men struggle to be men and women desire to be what the media tells them men are. As children hold to the fairy tales hoping for a home of dreams. Where is the anchor for us in this time of storm? Who is holding the banner lifted high for the others to see and run in for refuge? The earth shakes violently from the disasters that occur some natural some man made. The people cower looking for a place to rest but no rest comes. Who will take the fallen banner and lift it along with the ones who have fallen and raise them to the height where they belong. Who will stand for truth so the lies will be exposed and then can fall to the ground? Who will bring the healing to a world in cries for health? Who will provide love in the places it seems time forgot? Will we wake from our medicated states of slumber, from our material induced forms of peace? To a place of discontent with the world and all it has to offer. Will we put away the things of our childhood to take on the things of a mature man of God? Who???

2 Chronicles 16:9 "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.

Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not

He is still looking....

Living To Please Him

In this day of enlightenment and knowledge of our Lord and His desire it saddens me to realize that many of us have yet to embrace the truth whereby we are now to live for Him. Look at the scripture in 2 Corinthians where we are told : "And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him that died for them and was raised again" I often wonder what people do with scriptures like these when they come across them. Do they cut them out so they can act like it's not in the bibles they read? or do they just view scriptures as suggestions as opposed to commands? This is not an isolated thought the scriptures tells us this over an over like in 1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. The verses don't need to be explained so there is no way to misrepresent them. They can be elaborated on but they are already clear in themselves. Read them seperate or in context and what they say is not changed. We are also told that we no longer own our selves we have been purchased with a price. Telling us that he now owns us and doesn't the owner decide what to do with what he owns?

Too many of us are more interested in trying to make the bible say what we want to hear instead of letting the bible reshape us into what He desires. This makes it clear who we are serving. If we should no longer live for ourselves then why do we continue defend private pleasures that are clear to be contradicting to seeking what he desires over what we desire?

Now I can go on with this but if one must be convinced beyond the simplicity of the truth itself I question the response then to it. The question now isn't what he desires as much as, Am I desiring his pleasure over mine? Which if it is not a resounding yes then this should stir a new question in me and that being, why not? If my desire comes first then this means I am more important to me than the Lord, in essence I am lord.

Remember Satan lies, counterfeits, and a perverts the truth. As a liar He just directly refutes the truth. As counterfeiter He gets us to live the truth out of duty removing love from the equation. As a perverter he can take the truth which is selfless and cause it to become self serving. In this thought he will impress on us since Gods thoughts towards us are more than ours towards Him and His desire is for our good. We can just do that which please self and assume it pleases God. Kinda like lets cut out the middleman. I think you can see where this would take us.

So the real question here is where am I in relation to the the Truth. The holy spirit reveals truth to us. And His word is a lamp unto our feet as well as a light unto our path. If I let the Holy Spirit He will through revelation of Truth show me both where I am and where I should be. All I need to do is ask and then submit to the truth revealed.

May you be blessed as you grow in Christ, So much that he is fully Expressed in all you are.
