The best time to seek the Lord is early in the morning before the world wakes up, because truly when the world does wake up, it will be too late... "I love those that love me, and those that seek me early will find me." Proverbs 8:17 "And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." Psalm 9:10 "...and His name is called, the word of God." Revelation 19:13 Do you know the Word of God (Jesus Christ)?

Except the Lord build the house, they that labor, labor but in vain..." Psalm 127:1 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything you need will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 The truth about change is that in our best effort on our best day with the best program in the world, the goal that we're seeking to accomplish is in vain (useless) unless the Lord does it through you! Does your help come from the Lord or yourself and others?

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.". If you believe Him you will seek Him and He will give you the understanding that His goodness will satisfy your hearts longing to be filled. "The joy of the Lord is my strength." If you believe Him you will seek Him and He will give you the understanding that His joy is better than your pleasure. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no one goes to the Father except by Him. Go to God NOW and ask Him for living water in the name of Jesus and thank Him. Be sure to confess your sins.

"You believe in God you do well, the demons also believe and they tremble." James 2:19 "...He who comes to God must believe  AND believe that He is a rewarder of them that dilligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6 " Seek Ye first the kingdom of Heaven and His righteousness and everything you need will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33  "Seek the Lord while He is near and call on Him while He may be found." Isaiah 55:6 It's time to SEEK GOD b4 its too late...

"Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted. Their soul detests all manner of meat; and they star near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their destructions. He sent His word, and healed them and delivered them from their destructions. O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" Psalm 107:17-21

"For thus saith the Lord, ye have sold yourself for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money." Isaiah 52:3 Though your sins be as scarlet...yet they shall be as white as snow. If you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land." Isaiah 1:18-19 "Seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven and His righteousness and everything you need will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 All you have to do is believe in Jesus name! Read Mark 11:24 before you go to sleep!

COMFORT FOOD

Be still and know that I Am God. Yes, the great I AM, and I am bringing you into a new place, a new level, if you will only trust Me in providing all your needs. Cast all your cares upon Me for I care for you. I am your provider. Do not look to your own strength in providing for yourself. Do your part by seeking, knocking, asking, and then look to Me to open the doors. Did I not say that I would provide all your needs for you? Then why do you doubt?

This is a new hour where I will pour out My power and grace upon you to strengthen you as you go through the fire of My purging love. Remain silent and watch what I will do in you and through you. Watch and pray and believe and trust in My faithfulness for I will provide for you all your needs and also will continue to give you the desires of your heart to go deeper in Me.

Look only to Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith. Do not waver in doubt and unbelief. I might be stretching you, but this is a needed work in preparing you for what is ahead. This is the end of all times. This is the hour of My power, but also the hour of the great falling away. So continue to be still and know that I am God and that I am faithful. Look to Me and waver not in doubt and unbelief. Cast all your cares upon Me and rest fully assured of My provision, My care, My oversight and protection.

Even though the bombs fly around you and even explode, you are safe in Me. Hide yourself underneath the shadow of My wing and draw close, My children, draw close!

BALANCE

The bible says that the carnal mind cannot be subject to the law of God (Romans 8:7) which is reflects the extremely legal and extremely liberal views in our Church. The balanced way is the best way and the only way that one can be balanced is by the power of the Holy Spirit. In the S.D.A church we have taken pride on the work that God has been doing in a through us, thus we are guilty of pride; however,  pride has a numbing and blinding effect which explains how the ancient Israelites continued worship 40 years after the glory of God had departed from the temple and they did not know it. They were under Satans leadership and unfortunately history will repeat itself. We must do all we can in the Spirit of Christ to speak the truth in love, and that not by our own strength, but His.   Faith without works is dead. (James 2:17) which means faith with works is alive. There is a whole lot of dead faith in the body of Christ today because it is not mixed with works. People have different ideas when it comes to works, but we shouldn't be interested in what people have to say; rather, what does Christ say? "Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he hath sent." John 6:29 Our work is to believe and if we continue to sin willfully after we have been baptized it shows that we don't believe. We must work to believe then we shall receive. A form of godliness has infected the church at large and in the scope of thing Adventists appear as legals while 1st day churches appear as liberals. In these last days God is going show the world the difference between clean and unclean, holy and unholy. The question is do you want to be  part of it. Would you like to exchange your form of godliness for the genuine article of Christ's righteousness? Learn all you can and beg the Lord for grace and mercy to the end. Work to believe and you will receive. Our enemies are in our own courtyard and we must be wise as serpents, yet harmless as doves. The extreme positions in terms of Christianity are expressed in this statement by Christ. Most people are either one or the other. I find that in my own strength, though I try earnestly I cannot be both, but now I believe that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Its not just a bible verse anymore. "The kingdom of God is not in word, but its in power. " 1 Corinthians 4:20 "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, then it will be granted unto you." Mark 11:24 

"Before they call I will answer, while they are still yet speaking I will hear." Isaiah 65:24 Before you go into panic mode, why not stop and pray and thank God for His divine help, because the only way that anyone could answer before you call them is if they knew you were going to call them. Yea,  God is all knowing and He wants you to know He still loves you and waiting to hear your voice. Remember to confess your sins and ask for repentance when you call!

The obvious defects in our character are punching points for others to tell us what we need to do, that we already know we need to do, but just cannot figure out how!? Well, faith without works is dead (James 2:17) So pick up your tools and get to moving! But take some friendly advice from Jesus. " Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He hath sent." John 6:29 You can either weary yourself to death or believe the word of God unto everlasting life. The choice is yours.

Let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7 What man in his right mind, scheduled for death row, would deny a presidental pardon?! The one who doesn't believe. "...this is the WORK of God, that you BELIEVE on Him who He hath sent." John 6:29 choose to believe!

Physically unfit, emotionally unstable, spiritually unacceptable, financially unprepared? "...there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24 "Seek Ye first the kingdom of heaven and His righteousness and everything you need will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 Just Believe Him!!   StandfortheLord.blogspot.com
