At the beginning of this year, 2009, God instructed me to start this blog. It was (and is) a place to share all the wonderful things He has shown, told, and taught me - either directly or through other trusted servants of God. I knew I would be sharing prophecies as well as revelations received through His word - both rhema and logos.
Unfortunately, I was not immediately obedient. I'm sure nobody else can relate - wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Don't get me wrong - I was excited about this new "project" He had given me! I immediately thought of wonderful reveleations He had given me through the years that I would share here! And prophecies! I felt honored! So what happened? Why is my first post coming on the last day of April - with 1/3 of the year already behind me?
Simple - the devil's sly distractions! Since this was from God and for God, it had to be PERFECT...didn't it?? Well thought out and planned, right?? Didn't want to embarass God! Didn't want to embarass God...then what would I say??? How should it look??? What would I call it??? Every detail became an all-important detail that would either bring glory OR shame to the Almighty Himself! I thoroughly researched all possible blog sites - after all picking the "wrong" one could potentially tarnish the name of God, right? Everytime I sat down at the computer there were more details that MUST be worked out to the utmost perfection -wouldn't want to embarass God, right?
I had pushed faith...and God...aside...and put ME in charge. My zeal to please my Lord had become my chains. The power and glory of God's "name" is not dependant upon me or my actions or inactions! God loves me! And His grace is sufficient for me...especailly when stepping out in obedience to Him. He just wanted me to do what He asked. I didn't need to perfect it. It was perfect when it left His throne room! Nothing I can do or say can make it any more perfect or acceptable. And He can more than make up for any mistakes I might make.
For thousands of years there have always been those who received His words and those who didn't. The acceptance of His words has no bearing on the validity of those words or their perfection. It is solely due to the state of the heart of the one reading or hearing His words. And it is the same today and will remain the same until Jesus' reign on this earth is completed. With all my heart I would desire that every person who lays eyes on this blog would receive His words and let them transform their lives! And it is His desire as well! But the plain truth of the matter is that there are some who will not. Some will discard these words. Some will walk away bewildered. But it will not be because I, somehow, missed a detail or didn't plan enough or prepare enough. And it will certainly not be because God is not the Almighty, all powerful, sovereign, Lord of Lords and King of Kings - worthy of all glory and honor! It will simply be a matter of the heart.
So...here it is. I truly hope that each time you "visit", you walk away with a better understanding of God...of yourself...and your relationship with Him. And are changed - for the better.
