God has a plan for you

Have you ever thought that your life was not going as you planned for it to go?

As a child we make plans for our lives, when we make statements like " I want to be a teacher when I grow up" but what we don't realize at that time is that we are not the only one who has plans for our lives. There is someone who cares for us and has our life planned out.

Jeremiah 29:11 says:

For I know the plans I have for you ," declares the Lord," plans to give you hope and a future.

In this scripture God, the creator of heaven and earth is saying that He has a plan for us and he states that his plan is to give us hope and a future. So if think that there is no hope for you, don't believe it because God has hope in you and for you! He has planned for you to have hope and a future so, rather than believing the things that life throws at you sometime, simply believe God. He has a perfect plan!

You may ask " how can I have the plan that God has for me?

Matthew 6:33 says "But seek you first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

Therefore, believe God today for your every need, believe that He is able, trust that He has your best interest in mind and that He has plans of hope and a future for you.

Who is leading you

There is a saying out here in the world. Are you a leader or a follower? Most of the time I would have to say it is good to be a leader but there are times when we are/should be led.

Jesus Christ the Messiah (Yahshua Hamashiac) says in Matthew 16:24 ...."If any man will come after me , let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me."

My thought is this, If we plan to follow any one's footsteps, this is the one we should follow. Yahshua walked and lived without sin, he loved us so that he gave his life for those who despised, rejected and hated him. He gave his life that we who truly don't deserve it can be saved and one day see eternal life. We have to deny ourselves, take up our cross or rather endure hardships and suffering and follow Yahshua's example if we want to see eternity and sit at the feet of Yahshua.

So what do you think Is this a good reason to follow another. I say yes, being lead by Yahshua is loads better than being led by satan. Yahshua leads us to salvation, peace, joy, love, and victory among so many other things. Satan leads us to eternal damnation, confusion, defeat, hate, sadness, pain and so much more.

Being led by the spirit is better than being led by the flesh. The spirit leads us to life everlasting and the attributes of Yahweh and the flesh leads us to death and the attributes of satan.
So, when I say who is leading you I'm really asking you who do you choose to follow. I know who I choose, I choose Yahshua, life, and eternity, and I choose to allow Yahshua to lead me all the day's of my life.

Delayed but not denied

Have you ever gone through things in your life which made you think, have I been forsaken ? What happened, am I going around in circles? How do I get out of this black hole?

Well, many times in this life of ours we go through many struggles and trials. These struggles and trials are sent by the enemy to move us from our places in the body of Christ. These struggles include, loneliness, rejection, depression, and many other situations that come into our lives to stop us from reaching our destiny in this life. We go through on our jobs, in our homes and in the church and these situations come to distract us and to get us off track and out of the will of God.

This is a tactic used by the enemy to delay (hinder) our walk with God. You see if Satan can keep us worried, depressed, lonely and feeling rejected then we will not be able to hear God, nor will we be able to rightly divide the word of truth. We want be able to understand the word of God that pertains to us. These things may delay us from our destiny but remember this you are not denied. Delayed by Satan but you have not been denied by God. He will never leave you or forsake you.
2Corinthians 4:8-9 says "we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed."

Isaiah 55:11 says "So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, And it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it."
In other words everything that God has promised you, it shall be fulfilled. Every promise will manifest itself to you because it will not return to the father incomplete. Delayed maybe, but not denied!

What must be done is to ask God to remove every distraction, believe that he is able, and fight fire with fire. Use the word of God to combat against the enemy and use every word to quench every fiery dart of the wicked one.

Ephesians 6:10-11 says  "...be strong in the lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
 
I hope and I pray that this helps you and that you now realize that no matter what you go through, you have not been forsaken by God and every thing that he has promised you will come to pass. Just remember you can not give up, you must fight in order to defeat the enemy.
