What you eating?


Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. I know paraphrased......
What you put into your mind will determine who you are, how you act, what becomes your priority and so on. To think otherwise is just to be naive or downright stupid!
Paul spoke into Timothy’s life and stirred up what was already in him! Which begs the question, what are you stirring up within yourself? Maybe because of my family background it has been ingrained into my brain that one day I will give account to God. I will give account for my actions, my thoughts, my words....................my life will be spread out before Him like a canvas. Blaming others on why I did what I did or didn’t do what I didn’t do or why I allowed the chip on my shoulder to stay isn’t really going to wash with Him. I am not going to stand before God and give an account of someone else’s life but mine. I am responsible as to why I choose to obey or disobey.......
I have to say I am not driven by fear in the sense of dread but motivated by a desire to please and walk in my fullest potential. One of my favourite verses in the bible is where Jesus says that if you believe in Him you will do the same works and greater because He is going unto the Father.
I mean isn’t that amazing.....when you think of what Jesus said and what he did, that is fairly incredible. But this isn’t a verse taken out of context but a theme throughout that if you believe, do not to be surprised when these things happen.
I have been trying to walk sensitively in obedience and live what Jesus says......I have found this really challenging, challenging to whom I fear more, man’s opinion of me or God’s........what if I look a complete fool am I willing to get it wrong?
The other day......I was out doing the weekly shop with Rebeca. As we were about to leave the shop one of the staff commented that he was in a lot of pain because of a kidney infection. I asked him, if he believed God could heal him, he said yes, I said I believed to. I asked if I could pray for him, he said yes too. Though Rebeca said by the look on his face he wasn’t quite expecting me to drop everything and pray, he did permit me to pray just outside the shop for him.
That was a Saturday, on the Monday when Rebeca entered the shop he said to her, where is your husband? Because he was 100% healed, he even went out horse riding on the Sunday and had absolutely no pain!!!!!
What are you feeding yourself with? I don’t know why some people get healed when we pray and some don’t but that doesn’t stop the truth being truth. Everyone that came to Jesus for healing left his presence changed......
