When your heart is heavy

Casting all your cares upon Him for he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7



Sometimes when the trials of our lives hit praying and asking The Most High for help seems like the obvious choice. This situation is to much for a person to handle on their own. But what about when things are not so bad, or when you are trying to help someone else that has things going on that are soo much harder than anything you have going on. The Most High is concerned with your situations whether they are big or small,

IF you take the time to consult Him. No matter how your life looks from the outside being truthful from your heart is the only way to be made whole.  


Ps 55:22 Cast thy burden upon The Most High and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 

  

 1 Thess 5:17 Pray without Ceasing

Focus

 Genesis 9:13 I do set my bow in the cloud and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

After the greatest storm the earth had ever seen. Everything had been destroyed and death had been extreme: The Most High made a promise. He showed his children to look up and look forward to the future. When we face the storms in our lives we must stand on the words found in the Holy Scriptures. 

 Mark 9:23 says " Christ said unto him, If thou canst believe,all things are possible to him that believeth."

Can you believe that The Most High has your best interests at heart? Are you truly following and obeying his word so that when the storm hits you are able to discern whether this is a lesson or chastisement? Can you see that you may be being affected by anothers decisions even if you were doing everything you could to be obedient?

2 Cor 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved,we have a building of The Most High,an house not made with hands,eternal in the heavens.

When you are going through the tests and storms of your life  perceive the difference between the temporary and the eternal. Keep your focus on The Father and his will and purpose for your life.

When it seems things are breaking into pieces just wait a while and the pieces will all fall into place.

Will you stand???

Ephsians 6:13 wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

When everything around you is crumbling
Will you stand?
When your life is in chaos
Will you stand?
When someone you look up to or rely on falls
Will you stand?
When your safety net is pulled from under you
Will you stand?
When everyone is turning back
Will you stand?

The Marathon of Life with Christ

                                                                                         
As so many had their eyes on the Olympics that just passed and wondering who would win , my thoughts turned to the amount of discipline and training it took for those people to get to that point.  I couldn't help but reflect on Hebrews 12:1  ¶Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3  For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4  ¶Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

Luke 22:44  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

We look at these verses and think of those who have gone before us. Those who fought the good fight and persevered through various persecutions and trials and made it to paradise to cheer us on.Any goal worth working for is worth making the commitment of time, energy, finances, and sacrifice to.  The goal of the highest prize of citizenship in the kingdom Of The Most High is WORTH it!!! What does your life show that you are committed to??
 
When you train for a marathon you make a commitment. You must train for months or even years, stay hydrated, eat the proper foods, and learn to pace yourself. If you start to quickly you will burn out quickly. You must set goals, find a steady pace, and Maintain. And thats just in order to compete not to win.

1 Corinthians 9:24  ¶Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26  I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway
 Endurance is the word that drives me. Its not about moving the fastest or beating someone else to the knowledge but being able to stand firm on the truths found in the word and every ready to seek new wisdom and lessons while passing time on this earth.

John 16 and 17 the words of our messiah are there to encourage us.

In the clouds

Defending your Peace

To defend something is to protect it from harm or hurt. Are you defending your peace??? Or has Satan found a way to tap into all your insecurities, weakness, and boundryless areas in your life? So many things happen in any given day and instead of being in control of or lives and our peace we allow the enemy to throw a kink into our comfort zone and cause uproar.


Ps 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee


Where is your source? Do you allow your emotions to rule you? Do you let the enemy using anothers words or actions change your joy into something ugly?

Gal6:9, Eph6:7

Doing all things as into the Most High. Would you behave that way in the the presence of the Most High? If we are to be the daughters of the Most High and represent him as a light to the darkness; how can we truly be effective if we allow the emotions or reactions to others actions cause us to lower ourselves to a negative frequency and lose our peace?

Peace

Peace
Strongs defines it as completeness, soundness, welfare, safety, health, prosperity, quiet, tranquility, contentment

What do you consider peace? The word teaches us to be content in whatsoever state you find yourself  (1 Tim 6:8, Heb 13:5) but I ask can you find it  in the midst of a storm? Christ said My peace I give not as the world gives. ( Jn 14:27,Jn 20:21) Have you  gotten to know  Christ well enough that you can walk, stand, live  Peace regardless of what your journey on this earth brings you?

The Most High sent his son to restore peace with his chosen children and those who would join themselves unto them. The prophecies all tell us  things to come that will be beyond what we can imagine. If you cannot stand in the Truth and on your faith in your everyday walk,  how will you stand then? Be ye thankful then when you face various trials & temptations  for when ye shall be tried you shall come forth as pure gold. James 1:2, 1 Peter 1:7
