I am ...

Still STOPPED!!
(Part III)

Good Morning LEJ Friends,
"We are 'In the world, but not of this world'". 

Matthew 10:27 " Whatever I tell you in the dark (while 'stopped'), speak in the light: and what you hear in the ear (while 'stopped'), preach on the housetops".
'Italics' my thoughts.

Are you 'Stopped' ???
I am 'stopped' ... and you???

Jesus changes lives. 

Jesus gives His Spirit without measure.

But, we must 'STOP', 'ASK' (or call on God) and 'WAIT' to get filled up with the Spirit of God and our message mission for the day.

John the baptist got this right when he said:

"A man can receive noth unless it has been given to him from heaven". (John 3:27)

Also John said,

"For He (Jesus) whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure".  (John 3:34)

This 'mindset' can change our lives for the better for the Kingdom of God the moment we believe it! 

Jesus only moved, healed and saved as the Spirit of God led him.  The same is true of us too.  

Because ...

For without Him, we can do  nothing. (Or, NO-THING)

While we are 'stopped and waiting,' we really are 'investing time' with God for His Purposes and Plan. 

It will be a 'sad day' if we were so busy every day doing things that seem to be 'good things', but these things were not ordained by God the Father. 

I AM still 'STOPPED'.

Did you know that we can call to  God about anything?  Like asking Him what is the next thing that He wants us to do? Or, where do you want us to go?  Or, what do you want us to say? (I like that, such a great gift from God!)

Please read the following from Jeremiah:

'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which do do not know.' (Jer 33:3) 

May I ask while we both are 'stopped' and reading this message to "Call on God" and ask Him what He wants us to do today.  And, also don't forget to ask God for His Spirit to fill us so that we can complete the task.  Amen. 

You see, walking with God is not a hard thing ... it is simply listening, doing things and moving moment by moment as the Spirit of God leads.

ps... Tomorrow is 'TGIF'!

pss... Live your life in the Light of the Lord and Shine out for HIS Glory (see Matt 5:16)

Amen.

Faith Man
