Faith in Twitter v. Faith in God
So my heart has really been on understanding God’s faithfulness. Current circumstances seem to out weigh His truth and trustworthiness.
I just discovered that twitter is showing no followers and following. Sitting here reflecting on it I heard, “You see how calm you were when twitter showed 0. That’s how confident you have to be in me. It wasn’t that you thought it actually happened more so you trusted that Twitter would fix it or pull up their back up. You trusted the company regardless of what the circumstances looked like. That is how you must be with Me”. Being fully assured that He is able to perform what He said He would! He’s greater than a company and the only trustworthy, faithfully, reliable GOD!
Here is the Greek word, definition and key verses:
πληροφορέομαι (plērophoreomai), πληροφορέω (plērophoreō):
be completely certain, be fully assured, convinced or persuaded (Ro 4:21; 14:5; Col 4:12+; Eph 3:19 v.r.)
make happen, fulfill (Lk 1:1+)
proclaim fully (2Ti 4:17+)
accomplish, fulfill (completely), (2Ti 4:5+)
πληροφορία (plērophoria), ας (as), ἡ (hē): n.fem.
complete certainty, full assurance (Col 2:2; 1Th 1:5; Heb 6:11; 10:22+; Ro 15:29 v.r. NA26)

FLAWS
Waking up I knew it was not a great day for my flesh. It had to die or I would.
25 minutes to get ready and I still had to speak to God even before I put my clothes on.
Some days this is my life.
I need my time with God and when its minimal I am more prone to get an attitude.
What is the attitude? Its my flesh. I haven’t completely surrendered it to God.
Lately, I have been noticing my flaws more than even.
The flaws that I see are so nasty that I would rather not be involved in any ministry. I repent and keep fighting. Being an overcomer in many areas but the fact that sin dwells in my flesh heavily upsets me.
I love the Lord and sin separates me from him. I am not doing any overt sin but just the fact that I sin (consciously and unconsciously) though less than last week or even less than a year ago and even though I am quicker to repent it is still nasty and I hate it.
Its this sin, these flaws that make me realize that I am human and continually need this loving, forgiving Savior. The very scripture that brought me into the kingdom (Romans 7:14-25) is the one that I have to consistently confront.
We are free but it takes a fight. I am fighting. I have been fighting but the sensitivity of my heart is rising. I am the first to admit I am not perfect. Though I proclaim the gospel the same words I preach, speak, teach and live are the same words that convict me on a daily bases. It is these words that encourage, rebuke and correct me.
This blog is a babble but it is needed for my soul.
I am not perfect. I am not every woman. I am not superwoman. I can’t help everyone. I am not perfect. However, through Him I am strong.
Through Him and meditating on His goodness I am able to live a life of abundance and freedom. My flaws are apparent. Your flaws are apparent. But He doesn’t want us to rest in our flaws. Instead, to bring our flaws to Him the Father who is a just God (Luke 18:6-8).
The fact that He has welcomed me into His kingdom continues to baffle me. I am full of flaws but I won’t stay like this. My flaws can be corrected. They can and will be molded, pruned and shaped.
This is a process of pruning (John 15:2).
Purity Rings?!!
I’ve seen a lot of sister’s rocking purity rings. I believe that they are a good idea. It is very thought provoking if you are living what you wear. But what I wanted to speak about is the issue of women wearing purity rings on their wedding finger. Let’s keep it real ladies! Unless you are looking to never get married don’t put the ring on that finger. If a brother is interested in you and does not know a lot about you he is not going to approach you. Even if the brother is in church. What does he look like walking around asking if you are married? That would be disrespectful to your husband. He has to get real close to that ring to see that it reads “purity”. Also, this goes for any ring. We have 10 fingers keep the rings off of that one finger. You may miss your chance to be found by an incredible brother.
Listening to Other Voices
Are you listening to the voices in your head? Are you being self defeated? Have you stopped God from having complete control over your life? I know I have it is so easy to listen to the self defeating thoughts. The thoughts that make you legalistic and condemned. We look at all of our circumstances and we say, “well those voices are right!”. I am not pretty. I am not strong. I won’t ever become all that I am called to be. I didn’t pray enough today. I didn’t read enough today. I didn’t spend enough time with God today. I did just sin against that brother or sister. All of these thoughts may be true according to the worlds system. But its not God’s view of us. Instead, God proclaims I made you beautiful. I am your strength. Seek me and you will complete the purpose of your life. You didn’t read enough today but there is no condemnation. You didn’t spend much time with me but the time that you did spend was pure. You did just sin against your brother or sister but I have forgiveness for you when you repent.
We often hear everything we are not and neglect everything God says about us. We listen to the “other” voices. It may be the enemy, other people or ourselves but the goal is to hear the One voice that matters. I must say that I am one of the people who struggles with self defeat. I am learning its pattern. Self defeat arises when the action is impossible. It attempts to trap me when God is the only One who will get the glory for the action or the diligence. Instead, of living a life of self defeat. I’ve decided to rebel against it. God has so many great plans for us. Yet, we limit an infinite God because of human reasoning. Wash your human reasoning with the Word of God. After a while it will feel silly that you doubted the living God who lives in you. Also, why do we stress? The fight is fixed! We WIN! The God of all ages lives inside of us. The Holy Spirit is here to guide and get us to our destination. Let’s listen to the Spirit more than we listen to the other (OUR) voices.
