God's Light still Shines

It all started when I read: “For God, who said, Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6) 

I knew right there and then that God’s light was about to shine in my heart, and it did. 

I was inspired by someone’s post about Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” 

As the post went on with expectation, we might have on another. I realized I had expected my plans to take place in someone else’s and not God’s. I knew I had to do my part of releasing my grip on that person and allow God to work in theirs instead. 

The light of God had shone in my heart. The revealing light of his presence. There is freedom in this and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. We must forgive and release people constantly because we not only bound them but ourselves as well and become useless for God. Our spirit and mind must be free from worry and anxiety. 

Now the beautiful thing it is that it is all in the other person’s camp and God’s expectations which are better than mine are on that person’s life. 

His plans are greater and better for my life than having me bound to expectation on another. 

His plans are greater and better for them as well than having my expectations rest on them. 

Release, release and release do it constantly and you will feel much better release it to God. 

You were not designed for heavy loads. God has a weight restriction for your spirit and mind as well. 

Expectations are not bad, but they may lead to disappointments and God wants us to spare us from those as much as possible. 

Our ministry on earth should be as Christians to set the captives free through the anointing Christ has given us and not the other way around. Let us not be oppressive to others but be kind. 

In conclusion and from a different viewpoint, I see God at work in my life but not as obvious as it used to be. It is more subtle.

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now ...

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it diff...
