God's Grace & Mercy are waiting to meet you...

To experience peace in the mind, walk out the life Jesus promises & know the truth that sets you free…you have to believe God's Word. Believing isn't a feeling you feel...believing is a decision you make. Believing is based on Who God is, not if you understand everything about Him. Many have a hard time with this truth, lose direction & slowly fade into disbelief. Their belief is based on what they can feel & understand. When they encounter situations they don't understand, they "feel" God has abandoned them then fear sets in & manifests into anger towards God. When they experience an answered prayer, they "feel" God cares then they're safe & secure. God says He loves us & will never leave us. If a person believes this truth, then during trials they're secure in His love even though they don't understand everything. But if their belief in God is based on what they can understand Him doing or not doing, then their love is conditional.

Trials give us opportunities to strengthen our faith & develop perseverance so that we lack nothing. God says to ask for wisdom & He will give it generously without finding fault, but when we ask we're to believe & not doubt. The person who doubts is like a wave in the sea being blown & tossed about by the wind. This person shouldn't expect to receive anything from the Lord because they're double minded & unstable. God welcomes our questions that challenge us, but not rhetorical ones that challenge Him. We cross a line if we question His authority & blatantly doubt His Word.

When I committed my life to Christ I made the decision to believe God's Word & I desired to trust Him, but I really struggled. I was honest & told God I wanted to trust Him but I was afraid to completely release my life to Him. God heard my plea & sent His help...grace & mercy; they did a work in me so I could embrace what I professed to believe in my heart! God's love met me in my doubt & made a way! I called out to the Lord & He answered me…He delivered me from all my fears! He will do the same for you-will you ask Him? LMM (Phil 4:7, Jn 8:32, 10:10, Jas 1:2-8, Mt 4:7, 7:7, Mk 9:24, Ps 34:4) 5/12 #askGod #grace #mercy #wisdom #deliverance #christianinsightforlife

Painful reality...

Sometimes it's really painful to accept the reality of where you are, but until you accept where you are...your painful reality will not change. LMM (Phil 4:13) #reality #pain #acceptance #strength #Godisforyou #seekGod #christianinsightforlife www.facebook.com/christianinsightforlife

The door between your mind & the world...

You have a door between your mind & the world; you decide what you let in; don't let lies of self-defeat in your mind! Only open the door to God's truth; He's your sufficiency, His power is perfected in your weaknesses...you're not suppose to have it all together-if you did, you wouldn't need a Savior!

Word for the day...

God doesn't give an intenerary prior to departure...

God usually doesn't give us an itinerary prior to departure, but when we step out in faith...He opens doors, sends help & makes a way where there is no way! LMM (Ps 37:23) ‪#‎departure‬ ‪#‎getmoving‬ ‪#‎opendoor‬ ‪#‎help‬ ‪#‎Godmakesaway‬ ‪#‎christianinsightforlife‬

Times change, but God's Word doesn't...

Times change, but God's Word never changes; it's current in every generation for every type of situation. Nothing is new under the sun…don't let any situation convince you otherwise. LMM (Ecc 1:9) ‪#‎timeschange‬ ‪#‎seektruth‬ ‪#‎Goddoesnotchange‬ ‪#‎nothingisnew‬ ‪#‎Wordremains‬ ‪#‎christianinsightforlife‬

A voice behind you will say...

A voice behind you will say, "this is the way, walk in it." Fear presses into your chest...did you hear God clearly-maybe you missed it? Draw close to Him & He will draw close to you-remain in Him & He will remain in you. When you seek God with all of your heart, you'll find Him. He's bringing you through this trial. You don't have to know what God will do to believe He will do something. Fear wants you to believe you somehow messed up or are being disqualified…fear is a big fat liar! God wants you to succeed in the plans He put in your heart. Read, speak & agree with God's truth; share your heart with people who will be honest & support you. God's Word is your lifeline-hold tight to it to live the live God planned for you! He's equipped you for what He's called you to-relax, if you take a wrong turn, a voice behind you will say, "this is the way, walk in it." LMM (Isa 30:21, 2 Cor 5:7, Jer 29:11-14) ‪#‎walkthisway‬ ‪#‎drawclosetoGod‬ ‪#‎believe‬ ‪#‎bigfatlie‬ ‪#‎christianinsightforlife‬

Love, pray & anticipate...

Love people where they are, pray through every situation & always anticipate good outcomes...but only put your hope in God! LMM (1 Cor 2:5) ‪#‎lovepeople‬ ‪#‎pray‬ ‪#‎anticipate‬ ‪#‎hopeinGod‬ ‪#‎believe‬ ‪#‎christianinsightforlife‬
