Have
you ever taken everything you know, everything you have been
taught and thrown it out the window so that you can go out and make your faith
your own? Do you listen when God says I’m going to take you through the hardest
point of your life, oh and by the way you don’t get to communicate with anyone
about it? Have you walked with the Lord when He said its time to go to the
desert, or do you run from that?
I never
could say yes to anyone of those questions until this last month, where God
brought me to my knees and said its time to walk with me and ONLY me. I
wanted nothing more to run from the desert, I didn’t want to rid myself of MY
knowledge, even though I don’t know anything. And I surely didn’t want to walk
through the hardest point in my life with out being able to email my Mom, Dad, Pastor,
Friends. There the things I hold onto to get me through each and every day,
which was exactly the point. Do they mean anything less to me know no of course
not, but God know means everything and He is the only thing that can get me
through trials and pain. Why oh great nation do your inhabitants choose to not
use the freedom of religion, why do we refuse to use the greatest gift given to
us?
The
only way for you to understand my passion I have now, and to be able to stand
on this foundation that is unmovable, impenetrable, and unshakeable with me is
by knowing what God spoke to me. Only be being totally vulnerable, and totally
willing to take the us out of our lives is when God can use us, this is me
walking in that.
Day 1: When someone comes to you with a different
perspective/view from the Word, don’t shut yourself off from what they say but
ask questions so that you can truly understand their point of view.
Day 2: When do you submit to the authority placed over you
on earth, when does Gods authority over rule it?
Day 3: If we are Forgiven our sins and they are taken from
us, can we walk in Christ not only free from the penalty of sin but walk with out
falling into that sin again? (1john 5:18)
Day 4: Do not just be content with the spiritual gifts God
has given you, but strive to make it so that your gifts will edify others.
Day 5: Do I praise God for the answered prayers and the
miracles so that everyone around me will know and be able to exalt and praise Him with
me? (Isaiah 12:5)
Day 6: God may ask us to do the craziest thing that we
may not think will bring him glory but do we have enough faith to do as He
asks? (Isaiah 20:2-4)
Day 7: Do I completely trust in the promises of God in my
live, even if they are not fulfilled immediately? (Isaiah 25:1)
Day 8: Do I follow God because I want to go and seek him out
& gain understanding, or because its what I have been taught to do?
Day 9: If I walk with the lord then I cannot stray from the
path He has chosen for me. (Isaiah 30:21)
Day 10: It doesn’t matter how many people will read my blogs
or how impactful they are, I have to trust in God and listen to what He is
telling me that’s how I will become blessed.
Day 11: Am I walking above reproach in ALL things, so
that none can say well its ok Jake does it and he is a Christian?
Day 12: How do you wait on God, what does that look like?
Day 13: As Christians when we are tested we become afraid
& lose sight of the lord and what He has promised us, but when we are
tested and afraid that’s when we have to hold onto our faith because He will strengthen
us and help us through those struggles,
as long as we cling to him in those struggles.
Day 14: There are two parts to being used by God, the part people
miss is the time you have to spend with Him while He leads you and makes you
ready to do His work, the comes the action where you do all that God has shown you.
(Isaiah 42:6-7)
Day 15: Is the question I’m searching for who is God in my
life, what does that mean, what am I looking for?
Day 16: Do I know who God is in my life, Or is the question
do I realize who God is in my life?
Day 17: I know I question daily who God is in my life and
what does that questions even mean, but do I dwell daily on the fact that God
will never leave me or forsake me, do I hold onto the fact that He is always with
me even if I’m questioning who He is?
