MORE THAN EVER
Blessed be God forever for the goodness He has shown me in the face of difficulty and trials. The one thing that I have seen clearly throughout all of this testing has been that we who remain in Christ Jesus will appear at all points to be loosing throughout the process of God claiming a Spiritual victory over the evil that is unleashed before our eyes.
That deceit will be so convincing that it will tend to affect the walk and the witness of even the elect of God within the church. During the latest tests and trials in my life I have had to completely stop relying upon my own understanding of what appears to be defeat in having my left hand and arm paralyzed right when i have needed God's word to flow from me the most. It is in this state of weakness on my part that i find the most comfort in the words that Paul used to describe those very times when he had been forced to let go of the use of his own wisdom as a man...even though he was probably the most polished and deeply trained among all of the disciples of Jesus; he still had to depend on God for the right answer from the Holy Spirit within him. In my case right now i am typing with a one handed ( hunt and peck method ) and since i am left handed...using my right hand seems like the wrong hand. I will not be doing a daily blog for a while because of that weakness, but it does not stop God's Spirit from flowing.
I will need your prayers more than ever during this period of time because i will need to use GOD'S WISDOM...not my own to write, and speak to your hearts. It is that wisdom that can only be found within our own weakness...as Paul has said " it is when i am at my weakest that God is at His strongest" it is that kind of thought that directs my pathway now as i perceive the changes i will be forced to make in the ways i go about my daily life...that includes my way of approaching ministry. My attitude must now change about self and the part i play in God's work being carried out within me. The fact is that all of us are entering into a season of change within our lives. I am not privileged to know what those changes are...only that they are close at hand. My own journey is tied closely with each one of you who come here to read from God's heart to yours. The message will always remain the same, however, the strength of Spirit within that message will strengthen because there will be even less of me as a man, and more of God's will, Spirit, and direction. While i do not have the strength to go back to a full daily blog for now i think you may find what God desires from all of us all to draw closer to one another and to Him through what we share here...may you richly bless God through your life in Him.
