Your Freedom is in the Fire! (BLOG 36)



Your Freedom is in the Fire

“When the fire gets hot, we have a God who will jump in the fire with you.” ~Minister V. White


God always gives an answer. I have come to find that it may not come in the package that I would like it to or the way that I expected it to come. The answer that God gives may not be comfortable and may even cause a few tears.

BUT my faith is crazy enough to believe that he knows exactly what he is doing. So continue to seek him, continue to trust him, and know that your story will one day help someone else.

You may feel that you have been overlooked. 
Your faith may be dry because the results don’t match up with the fight. 
You may have invested a lot, but the return has been slow. 

Life just isn’t fair sometimes! 

Daniel 3:17-18 NIV
17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king.
18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up. ~Daniel 3: 17-18 NIV

Keep going because God is working even in the fire. God is building you. He is the purifying you. Who is willing to go through the fire?
I know he can, I know he will, but even if he doesn’t…..I can trust God in the fire.
“I won’t bend, I won’t bow, and I won’t burn.” ~G.H Brown
 Glory to God! Even in the fire, God has a plan. What has tried to kill you shall make you free.
My prayer
So Lord, please work on my heart. Let it become more compassionate. Work on my mind. Let it be woven in your peace. When things don’t go my way, let me remember that your grace is forever with me. Let your glory be produced from my life. Cleanse me of all my worthless impurities even through the fire. Thank you for seeing greater worth in me. Thank you God for being intentional. Lord, I declare that your plan for my life is great and will forever give you all the glory.

If it doesn't come from you...Brief Random Thoughts (BLOG 35)



If it is God, then it should provoke my standards and not bring them down. ~Pastor Shaun Davis

It can be wrapped up, tied up, and beautifully adorned with a bow that glimmers like the stars, but Lord if it doesn’t come from you then I don’t want it.

 6’1, brown eyes, smiles like the sunrise, but Lord if it doesn’t come from you then I don’t want it.
It may promise me riches of starry nights and endless wealth, but Lord if it doesn’t come from you than I don’t want it.

It is not worth my time for its price is in vain.
 Because you see I have got a mind to do your work and a heart that chases after you. So anything that doesn’t come from you well it just isn’t worth it and I don’t want it.
