MEN! – Identity Crisis?

Usually the Lord enables me to complete a video teaching on the subject of the week. I ask for forgiveness for not doing so this week. I have posted one that I think hits this subject perfectly.

In saying that, here’s what is going on with me. The Lord is taking me through a refiners fire. One that is so hot, I have to say I almost quit and gave up. One that has been so intense it has turned everything upside down in my life. In the last 10 days I have felt so lost, so weak and I actually have felt removed from God’s protection and guidance. As crazy as it sounds, this started when I began the teaching on fear. I have been out of prison 6 months now and I have wavered from what I told God I would do, I have focused on the money aspect of my book, I have neglected feeding off the Word of God and therefore have dishonored Him. I was on my face yesterday morning and the Lord manifested Himself to me and spoke – Mark 4:19 and then Isaiah 1:21-26. Mark 4:19 says “And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of other things entering in, choke the word and it becomes unfruitful.” That is exactly what I have been doing. Then, in Isaiah it says v21- How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; Righteousness lodged in it, But now murderers. (I haven’t loved my neighbor as I should) v22 – Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water (my message has become diluted) v26 – “I will turn My hand against you, And thoroughly purge away your dross, (take me through a FIRE that will burn off that dross) I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning (bring back wisdom and knowledge) Afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”

Through His grace and mercy He told me what He was going to do. Men, please know that NO MATTER THE BATTLE OR STRUGGLES we go through (as soldiers in HIS army) HE IS WITH US. As lost as I have felt these past days, it has caused me to search for Him even stronger, cry out to Him even LOUDER, drawn me closer to Him. So in closing, please realize that we all go through struggles but as Men of God – THE TASKS AHEAD OF US ARE NEVER AS GREAT AS THE POWER BEHIND US!

THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR GRACE, MERCY AND PATIENCE WITH ME THROUGH THIS FIRE, FORGIVE ME FOR FAILING YOU. FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND PROVIDE ME WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE, GUIDANCE AND WISDOM AND I HUMBLY ASK THAT YOU USE ME AS A VESSEL TO CONTINUE TO TAKE GROUND FOR YOUR MIGHTY KINGDOM.

Overcoming FEAR – Mission POSSIBLE

Thoughts on Fear

 

 

 

When the U.S. Navy trains rescue pilots, they place so much psychological pressure on recruits that half of them drop out. Because the Navy wants the best, those who enlist are pushed to the limits by being dropped out of helicopters into freezing water. In the water, a man simulates a drowning, and when his rescuer reaches him, he deliberately panics, grabbing the would-be rescuer and pulling him under. The trainee must take charge of the situation or be disqualified from the course. He must take control, not only of the circumstances, but also of his own fears.

If we want to rescue humanity from the fires of hell, we must take control of our own fears and reject the fears the enemy whispers to our hearts. Don’t let the lies of the enemy penetrate your mind any longer. Remember the command, “Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10). The Book of Revelation says of the glorified Jesus, “out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword” (1:16). Soldier of Christ, throw away your sheath; it is not part of your armor. Your sword, the Word of God, should always be at the ready.

There is power in the Word of God. When the light of the Word is spoken, the darkness of the enemy must vanish. Make it a habit to quote God’s Word at fear: “He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD,He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust” (Psalm 91:1,2).

FEAR NOT!

Memory Verse – Fear

Isaiah 41:10
