The long hours of weeping had burned my dry skin.
This was not the first time I curled up in a fetal position in the middle of the bedroom floor, begging for an end to it all, begging for an answer.
In between my sobs and shortness of breath, I clung to my chest crying out to God,
"Where are you?"
"Can't you see? I'm on the floor, I'm on my knees...What do you want from me?"
"I can't go on like this...Can't you hear me?"
"I need you NOW!!"
"Where ARE you?"
Looking back, I can say that my most trying times have brought the greatest rewards.
Each time I thought I was at the end, the light would begin to work its way into the cracks of my thoughts and remind me of one thing...
Each time I thought I was at the end, the light would begin to work its way into the cracks of my thoughts and remind me of one thing...
I know exactly where God is...
I am the one who is lost.
If God never leaves us or forsakes us, why is He so silent?
When God created man, He designed him for companionship.
Man was designed to remain clothed in His glory, in perfect communion with the Creator.
He placed him in the Garden of Eden, so he would never be in need or want.
God designed us as Tri-part beings -
Spirit,
Prior to the fall of man, emotions were non-existent, man was completely satisfied, fulfilled, clothed only by God's glory.
If God was moved by our emotions, rather than faith, the enemy would be in control, NOT GOD.
Our mind controls our emotions.
We have to look at it this way:
If God was moved by OUR emotions, then that would mean we could control His response through our emotions.
I am the one who is lost.
If God never leaves us or forsakes us, why is He so silent?
When our prayers don't come to fruition, we have to understand, the hold up is never on God's end.
No.
God said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
God said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
There is a method to this madness that religion has tried to mask into the phrase,
"It must not be God's will?"
"It must not be God's will?"
Gods will is always heaven on earth.
God's will is always wholeness.
God's will is always wholeness.
God's will is always life.
God's will is always blessings of love, joy, peace, health and prosperity.
When did we become so high minded that we thought we could just go about life in our own way and expect supernatural results and miraculous manifestations?
We are human. We are natural beings living in a supernatural system.
This system has a very unique design. If you want the most out of this life, you have to learn the language.
It's the same as learning a foreign language prior to travel.
Or a computer programmer learning the language of technology.
Or a doctor who must learn the language of medicine.

When God created man, He designed him for companionship.
Man was designed to remain clothed in His glory, in perfect communion with the Creator.
He placed him in the Garden of Eden, so he would never be in need or want.
God designed us as Tri-part beings -
Spirit,
Soul (mind, will, emotions) and
Body.
Prior to the fall of man, emotions were non-existent, man was completely satisfied, fulfilled, clothed only by God's glory.
It wasn't until the enemy moved into the garden, that man began to question his existence.
The enemy went straight for man's trust in His father's love. He aimed to weaken this bond between father and son.
The enemy knew he just needed to inject a thought of doubt and insecurity and the rest would be history.
Once man succumbed to the enemy's plan,
doubt filled his thoughts,
fear overtook him, and
he made a decision that caused him to question his Father's love.
Doubt breeds fear.
Fear blocks faith.
This pattern severs our connection with the Father.
Why?
Without trust,
we cannot understand His love.
If we don't have confidence in His love, we cannot trust Him.
"Cast not away your confidence..." Hebrews 10:35
Our God is love.
If we don't believe in His love, then we render Him powerless in our lives.
We won't be able to receive from Him.
In order to receive
we must believe.
"..we must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6
Since this is always the enemy's point of contact,
Isn't it time we become privy to his tactics?
If He can cause us to think that maybe, just maybe, our Father doesn't love us, then he can fill our heads with all sorts of fears and doubts.
This was pattern of the first Spiritual death.
Once the "love" connection to the Father was severed,
the mind gained control,
fear overtook the spirit of faith.
Man said, " I heard you in the garden, and I was AFRAID.... Genesis 3:10 NIV
Man's spirit lost it's divine communion with God's spirit.
"God is spirit.
All who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24
Over these thousands of years, through the evolution of time, head knowledge has gradually gained more recognition while spiritual revelation has been declared mystical or blasphemous.
This is the enemy's plan to keep God's people ignorant of the system's design.
In the world's system:
Fear over powers faith.
And hate hates LOVE.
Trust is a "thing" of the past.
But it's time to take it back!
It's time to be in the world but not of it.
It's time to bring heaven to this earth.
It's time for God's kingdom to come and His will be done on this earth as it is in heaven.
It's time to step back into the glory realm of our Creator.
It's time for faith to defeat fear and
Love to love hate away and
trust to become us.
How is this supernatural existence accomplished?
We have to get
out of our heads and
Out of our minds,
literally.
Our Father doesn't communicate through head knowledge.
He communicates through our hearts, through our spirits with Rhema or His revealed word.
Our Father communicates through love.
He is love!
If God was moved by our emotions, rather than faith, the enemy would be in control, NOT GOD.
Our mind controls our emotions.
The enemy's play ground is our mind and he loves to toil with our emotions.
Our emotions are subject to change.
Our emotions react and respond to our circumstances- CONSTANTLY!
In the tri-part being, Spirit, Soul (mind, will, emotions) and Body, we were not designed to be ruled by our emotions. We were designed to be ruled by our Spirit, by faith in our Creator.
Our emotions are subject to change.
Our emotions react and respond to our circumstances- CONSTANTLY!
In the tri-part being, Spirit, Soul (mind, will, emotions) and Body, we were not designed to be ruled by our emotions. We were designed to be ruled by our Spirit, by faith in our Creator.
Trusting in His
divine
unconditional
unfailing
love.
We have allowed human nature far too much power, we have paid very little attention to our spirits, and we've paid the price by letting our emotions get the best of us.
But God is NOT ruled by emotions, He is Spirit.
But God is NOT ruled by emotions, He is Spirit.
If we want this kingdom to come,
it is us who must change,
not God!
We were created to be ruled by our Spirit, not our emotions, and it's time we start acting like it.
Emotions are unstable and unreliable.
God's Word says that a person driven by emotions will not receive anything good from The Lord.
"But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do." James 1:6-8 NIV
We have to look at it this way:
If God was moved by OUR emotions, then that would mean we could control His response through our emotions.
Our emotions are flippant. One minute we can be happy, another sad, another angry. Imagine if we had to respond to everyone on this earth every time they experienced emotions of panic or desperation?
God created a language for His people, those who truly love Him, those who study His word, those who seek to commune with Him and those who are in covenant with Him.
That secret language is the language of Faith.
When we communicate to our God through faith, we are coming to Him ready to trust,
ready to receive.
We believe
in His love.
This is how we get our needs met.
This is how we receive our healing.
This is how we grow strong in The Lord and the power of His might.
This is how we gain wisdom and understanding.
This is how His will is done on this earth as it is in heaven.
"Without faith it is impossible to please God..." Hebrews 11:6
"Without faith it is impossible to please God..." Hebrews 11:6
Will you believe
In His love?
Will you receive
His love?
Will you speak God's language of faith?
Will you get out of your head?
And into your heart,
God's heart.
God's heart.
This is the way His kingdom will come, and
His will be done,
on this earth as it is in heaven.
