Trust God

So many times I try to get over a temptation on my self. Equip yourself with Gods word and trust God to get you through. Just like the Israelites. They had to equip themselves with the things that God told them to and trusted God to get them through, and they had victory, but when the didn't they were defeated.

Famine

In order to have plants grow you need not only the seed but sun and water, we can water with a hose but we cant bring out the sun. The world is having a famine and we need to go and water the crops with the word of God, and that's the farthest we can go. God has to bring out the sun and produce other Christians, BUT GOD WILL NOT WATER IT! WE HAVE TO. We have to fulfill our duties to bear fruit.

Temptations

In "Changed Into His Image" Jim Berg states that "Satan was an archangel once!" That's one step down from God himself! We have no power over Satan or our flesh! We have to commit our selves to God and God alone! 1Peter 5:7 Casting all your cares upon him for he careth for you. Sometimes I foolishly think I can get over it myself, I try to think of how much I regretted it last time, but I fail anyway since I fail to have the faith even the size of a mustard seed, I don't trust that God can get me through. Even after he died on the Cross for that very same sin.

Setting Appointments and listen

Last night, Gabe mentioned setting an appointment with God, and how we have to do what it takes to keep that appointment. My mind went back to when Mr Huber said, "That sometimes it is good to turn everything off and listen to God." Set an appointment for reading the Bible, praying, listening, and always meditate on our God!
