WITH EACH STEP THERE ARE BLESSINGS TO REAP PT3



  Each Step Is A Blessing
Greetings in the name of Jesus, my friends, 

 God sees and knows which of us is Truly and honestly willing to serve Him...and what is done by obeying His leading in the name of Jesus in secret to the eyes and ears of others,  He will reward the Work done in Jesus' name in public.

 God has not forgotten any of His Workers, in fact He Is giving To us At The Same Time that He Continues to Prepare what is to come next, According to His Will and Plans for our lives. So that, as He touches each of our lives, we each  In Turn touch other people through His Love,  and that is sowing the seeds that we have been given.

Then some  that we touch, do the same and so on...His Love Was planted in each of us and as it grew we spread it, and sowed it as seed in the grounds of other people, and where we plant it,  it grows and spreads as others do the same.  It is a Divine cycle that He has created.

Through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit we are lead to do His Work.


Some people want to be seen as belonging to our Lord, but they do not put forth any effort to allow the changes in them that He desires to make.  
They must not realize that true believers can see the fruit that they bear.
And it is not the Fruit of our Lord's Spirit.


Some want to steal His anointing, and they do everything possible to Appear to be working for him, but they do not Claim Jesus as their Lord.
Mature Spiritual Discernment will reveal to you the ones that do not live as they speak.
  Look and listen for the fruit of their heart, what words of love proves them as belonging to our Lord?  
What fruit do you produce that allows your light to shine?

 
Each Step Is A Blessing
In the name of Jesus, I encourage you to keep growing and maturing in your trusting Him. Go ahead and see what He has Already done for and in you, stretch forth your faith and watch God reveal to you His Handy Work.
He knows who His faithful servants are, and He uses us and provides for us based on His Will and Plans for us, the purpose is Always in the End for His Glory and for us to Receive His Best!

 
In our living, There Will be times, many times, when, in order To See Past the Moment that challenges you... you will need to Pray In the name of Jesus, Without Ceasing and Your Help will be given to you...His Love will Cover you outside and Fill you up inside...He desires to Love you, pour His Grace, Mercy, and Life into you to keep you...

 *praying without ceasing does not always mean to sit and pray all day. Yes, Some people do this, but it also means, to think on our Lord, to keep your thoughts on God. On His goodness, and faithfulness, to think on His promises, and the Truth that He has spoken to us.  To Think on What Ever Is Good, and Righteous, and Honorable, that Will Keep you focused on Him...Praying without ceasing.*
Each Step Is A Blessing

Our Lord will use All challenges that we face, to Stretch us, to Stretch our trust And our faith in Him, our gifts, our mind, our heart, our character...and So Much more, In order to re-shape us into the Person that He created us to be before the beginning..
Work With Him and Allow Him to do what Needs to be done in and for and through you...
You  asked for His Best, didn't you? 

I confess that I Asked for His Best for each and every day that He has blessed me to walk this land...
Touch them again, Lord Jesus, Open their eyes, and touch their hearts Again...

  Every day keep yourself aligned with His Will for you by freely and willingly allowing Him to use you completely At the same time that He is stretching you, remolding you and using you to serve His Will...
Each Step Is A Blessing

At all Times, Let us do and be=
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." - Philippians 2:3-4 - NIV

AND=
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.

6We are [children] of God. Whoever is learning to know God [progressively to perceive, recognize, and understand God by observation and experience, and to [get an ever-clearer knowledge of Him] listens to us; and he who is not of God does not listen or pay attention to us. By this we know (recognize) the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.

7Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him].

8He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

Each Step Is A Blessing

In the name of Jesus my Lord, Amen...

STAY OBEDIENT TO THE LEADING OF GOD, NO MATTER WHAT!


Each Step Is A Blessing
 **NOTE= THE URL ADDRESS OF MY BLOG WILL BE CHANGING IN A FEW DAYS.  DO NOT FRET, THERE WILL BE A LINK TO RE-DIRECT YOU.  THERE WILL BE SOME OTHER CHANGES I WILL MAKE ONCE THE URL IS CHANGED.  GOD IS MOVING ME FURTHER INTO HIS WILL, PLANS & PURPOSE OF MY LIFE LIVED FOR HIM.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME & I THANK YOU FOR VISITING THIS PLACE OF COMFORT & ENCOURAGEMENT, AND FOR SHARING YOUR LOVE HERE WITH US ALL, THE FAITHFUL TO GOD IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS. **


For my sisters and brothers Walking and Living by faith In the name of Jesus, we have our instructions of how to live with each other.
  Each Step Is A Blessing
I have learned that The Light and Love of our Lord that Lives within my heart, and shines forth All the time, bothers a lot of people.  And Jesus said all this would happen, so it surprises  me not one bit when it does happen.

 I have learned that as I-( & others called and chosen by God like me),  am obedient to the Guidance of the Spirit of God & and not people, many that are not honest and truthful and are not serious about their Walk with our Lord, not serious about their Spiritual life, Not serious about growing and maturing their Relationship with Jesus,  avoid Him in me. 

What they fail to understand is that,  I do not seek any human approval and never will. I am living to Please God In the name of Jesus, so when others have a problem with Who I Work for, that is for them to deal with.  I always say a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to touch that persons heart and open their eyes In the name of Jesus.

  People like this will only want to be around other people like them.  You know, those that simply want to 'Look like' they are His children and/or stay in the shallow part of life with Him. 
Each Step Is A Blessing
Some have not been taught in a correct manner about God's truth, others are just following what they see other people or their Pastor in their group doing.  They do not really read the Bible for themselves, they don't spend quiet time in prayer and listening to God. People who are stuck in the midst of Spiritual transitions of growth and maturity Are so, because of many different reasons.

They are revealed to us through His Truth, and sadly they try to run and hide.  But they cannot hide from God!
The condition of their hearts is seen, Though they think they are hiding their true selves from us, God always reveals to us what we need to know, when we need to know it!  Thank You Jesus!



There are times when all we can do is deliver the message, plant the seeds the Lord wants us to, and leave certain people alone.  Don't take anything personal, it's really not about us.
Each Step Is A Blessing
When folk reject the Truth God wants them to know, and they tell themselves lies/excuses and then they believe those lies, we have nothing to do with that. Here is a point, where they have to realize that they are running form God's truth.  Their rejection of me or Him through me Hinders me none!  What I am to do, I have done.

Sometimes, they refuse to Face the truth about what in them needs to be changed by the Lord,  to stop saying one thing and doing another in opposite to what God's will is for them. 

Another thing, walking and working with God's Spirit and His Will freely every day, takes time, effort and a desire to keep working on your relationship with our Lord, no matter what or how long it takes.


You will meet some that keep saying that they know this or that, and they are doing what they are suppose too, but they always seems to have little self-control and are attracted to so much worldly stuff and ways.  Their actions do not match their words.
  
Each Step Is A Blessing

  When folk push you away, reject/avoid you or ignore you because you remind them of God's Truth, and/or because of some unknown to you- fears, jealousy, envy, or hate that they live by; Do not worry about being rejected, do not fret over their treatment of you, forgive them and leave them in the Hands of our Lord, Keep Jesus between you and Every one and Every thing, so they do you no harm and you do them none.

Remember, God cuts folk back out of your life because, what they are doing or will do, May Very well bring you down and/or hinder your Walk.  If these people come back by God's leading it Will be Good for God's Glory, if God cuts them totally out of your life, It Will Be Good for God's Glory!

I encourage you To Stay Obedient to the Lord, Stay in a Space of Unconditional Forgiveness and of Grace concerning others, You are not living to please them anyway, 

Remember, we are Suppose to be Living to Please and Obey our Father in the name of Jesus, not other people.  We are justified, approved of and live a Spirit led life; not an emotionally led, pride filled, ego stroking life seeking the approval and acceptance of people.
Each Step Is A Blessing
We are Following the Life of Jesus, to be changed day by day into His Character.
 Called, Chosen and Separated by the Love and Will of God to be His children, His servants, His leaders, and prophets, teachers and preachers...Not To conform to This world and it's ways...
"Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons (children) of God."

Matthew 5:9
"Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
Colossians 3:13


Life & death are in your tongue/mouth.... you shall eat the fruit of your words.

Speak life=Receive life.

Speak truth =Receive truth.

Speak peace=Receive peace.

 Speak fear= Receive fear,

Speak Faith & Strength= Receive Faith and Strength,

Speak death=Receive death.. And so forth.....

It's not as hard as folk make it out to be...in fact, it's not hard at all...
what ever lives in your heart, your heart loves, and your mouth will speak it out. your mind will think on it...
To Change the way you think, and speak Change what your heart loves!
Each Step Is A Blessing
I started this learning with Ezekiel chapter 3.  Then the Spirit lead me to these teachings=

Proverbs 4...
5Get skillful and godly Wisdom, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation); do not forget and do not turn back from the words of my mouth.

6Forsake not [Wisdom], and she will keep, defend, and protect you; love her, and she will guard you.

7The beginning of Wisdom is: get Wisdom (skillful and godly Wisdom)! [For skillful and godly Wisdom is the principal thing.] And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation).

23Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

24Put away from you false and dishonest speech, and willful and contrary talk put far from you.


AND=
Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.
