We are walking in today: It's Time to Check Your Relationship with God.
Hebrews 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. God came by this morning to let you know even, my Son suffered. Lately I've been talking to saints that are still in the press. God shared with me two weeks ago it's time to address relationships. It's time to check your relationship with God. He sees the suffering in your marriage, on your job, with your children, with unemployment, and with fainting in your due season. He already told you, you will reap the harvest if you faint not. Are you truly seeking God's face? Are you walking in obedience? Are you asking God for directions? Are you being humble? Are you putting God first? Remember God is a jealous God. There will be no other gods before Him. Remember God created us to be in relationship with Him--first. Numbers 18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee. Give God the firstfruits of your income. He has blessed you with all that you have, trust Him with the firstfruits, tithes and offerings. Relationship is defined the condition or fact of being related; connection or association. Connection by blood or marriage; kinship. We were all purchased by the blood of Jesus, that is our connection. We are also related in the body of Christ, each of us having our own purpose and position--we are of the house of the Most High God. We associate at 5am everyday of the week. Exodus 12:23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. Our relationship with God is sealed with His blood. We need to get back to how we used to trust God. God has the master plan for our life. Here you are again trying to figure it out. In the word, He tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. God knows the plans that He has for us. Trust God in all that you do. Let's get back to our relationship with God. He is our foundation to every relationship. Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Matthew 15:22-28 22)And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23) But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24) But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25) Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26) But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27) And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. 28) Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. Many times in the bible, relationship is shown by being of the house of a group of people. We can take from this woman's example, that we are to continue to seek God for what we need. He is source, where else can we go to get what we need?! Seek, out your heavenly Father. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. He is happy to give unto us. Let us not forget the best part is being in His presence. Resting in our Father's arms we can see that we must make adjustments for Him. He is perfect, there is nothing lacking--in Him. We need to put off the old man and the ways of the world. If you walk in both the word and the world, you are out of order and hindering a better relationship with Him. If you do not know where you are hindered, pray to God, He will direct you, into correction. He wants the best for us, just like any doting Father for His precious children. He gave His only begotten Son to redeem you, even me. There is no one like Jehovah Elohim, the Eternal Creator. Praise Him!! He is mindful of us, just as we are--thank You Lord!! Glory to God!!! Amen!!!!
I don't know about you, but it is time to check our relationship with God. Many of us are asking why--in our marriages, on our jobs, with our children. We need to check our relationship with God. Ask Him to order your steps. We need an answer from You, God. We know You will speak to us. We need to take sometime, seeking You, to see what You would have us to do. We come asking for forgiveness, sometimes we put everything else before You. Thank You Lord, for when You forgive, there is no condemnation, and it is not remembered anymore. Wives be careful, do not put your husbands before God. Let us not let the concerns about our finances, stop us from giving our firstfruits, tithes and offerings. We come seeking a relationship with You, God. Not our will be done, Thy will. The enemy is trying to take away your relationship with God. Don't loose focus, don't worry. God has it all in control. The things pressing you will change when you walk in the word. Trust Him. Check your relationship with God. Decrease us, Lord and increase in us, Lord. Thou He slays me, yet will we trust Him, let us be like Job. God is changing somethings in our lives--stop worrying. As we read in 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. God has not given us the spirit of fear. Sometimes tests, trials and tribulations are to get our attention. God wants us to turn to Him. Don't loose focus--God is still here!! Don't just call on Him when you need Him or are in trouble. Why do you only call when your world is falling apart? His only begotten Son learned obedience through what He suffered. If God be for us, who can stand against us?! He is calling us to line up with His word. Get back into position, put your focus back on God. Many feel broken and shattered, He shows up in the broken pieces. We can only be restored and mended by God when we check in. The Lord can show up, suddenly. Check in with God--you can check in at anytime. We have read in Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. We choose to worship You, in spite of what we are going through. We will turn it all over to You, Lord. It's time to check in. Marriage is the first union created by You, Lord and is under attack. What God has put together, let no man put asunder. Wives be a Proverbs 31 woman, who rises early seeking God. Husbands, love your wife as Christ loved the church, giving even His very life for it. We all must check in with God. Are we lined up with His word? Children, obey your parents. Don't let the enemy take over your house!! Get up and fight, we have the weapons of mass destruction--shatter those strongholds--hold to His word! Speak and declare peace and love reigns here! If you can't get a breakthrough, call someone to help you get a breakthrough. Remember, if two or three are gathered in His name, He is in the midst. The enemy is coming to disguise your season. The Lord will keep you in perfect peace, if you keep your mind, stayed on Him. Trust Him--make up your mind today to seek Him. We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown, have them to check their relationship with You. Check in with God, and line up with His word.
We write in the precious blood: God, I am checking in because, it is check in time.
Welcome to the overflow...
Forgive us Father--sometimes we put everything first, before You. It's check in time. Why do we wait until midnight to call on God. We should be speaking with Him constantly, blue skies and dark days. Let us continue and remain in conversation with the Lord. Hallelujah!! Check your relationship with God. We are to always pray and not faint. We will reap the harvest, if we faint not. This is our due season. When you get off of this phone, seek His face--like never before. Hebrews 5:8 tells us that the Lord's only begotten Son, learned obedience through suffering. So are we not His children too? To God be the glory!!! Have a blessed day!!!
