This site has amazing articles. I think it has amazingly loving, genuine and purposefilled people participating in it.
I ponder today, what really counts RIGHT now..IF What I believe to be shortly on the horizon is true. What do I really want to study? Or do I want to study anything? Maybe I should be 'doing', maybe I should be just sitting and being calm- as I know who holds the future AND I know the future... on earth.
I know that we talk about not 'expecting' to go. But I think that is a matter of heart...and that Paul would've liked us to know where we ARE going without question. That's what Christ sent him to do, to show us how to stand firm in Christ KNOWING our salvation.
I just resigned from the board of my church, because it feels like that is not important right now. Church activities such as ice cream socials, gospel concerts, youth activities...just feels so 'Business as usual" right now. No Spirit leading. Mankind's traditions are fixing to come to a screeching halt for believers!
I feel strongly that we need to increase our communication through prayer right now. My prayers have become more vocal and more active, in my body language with my hands, pleading while asking, explaining, as pouring out my perplexities to one who I feel closer to than ever!(partially thanks to this site☺️). Giving thinks the whole time, that I know who I pray to- and that there is nothing HE isnt capable of and knows my heart and loves people more than I do. I'm Asking the Holy Spirit to pray for me when I don't know whether people are believers or not, and sometimes aren't, yet they want me to pray for them as if they were.
I'm asking to be emptied of all my agenda. Trying to be empty enough that he can use me without reservation/holds on my end. I have to work, but I don't want to work. I eagerly wait for someone to come through the door at the office that I can evangelize to.
And today it happened. A stranger walked in the door to sell me something, and I told him to come back in October if I was still here. He asked me if I was going to sell out, and then I laid it all out. It felt wonderful! He asked a few questions and took it in. Maybe he'll go back and say I'm a kook! But when he tells somebody else about the craziest thing that happened to him today, someone will hear that message and it'll mean something. Somebody out there was meant for that. Send me or bring them to me! I just want to be prepared by being empty of me and full of his light, spreading that the God of Heaven has laid out a plan in the Bible, and as a Christian , I believe every word of it!
