God's plan for our lives

The following was sent to me quite some time ago. I don't know the book in question, but I believe the quotation is true. There is so much that is hidden from our mortal eyes yet visible in the spiritual. I believe that, just as God has a plan for each of us, the devil (counterfeiter that he is) also has a plan. It's up to us which plan we follow. Though we each have a God-created plan for our lives, not all will attain it. What separated those who did and didn't attain God's plan? I believe it comes down to obedience. We see David burst onto the stage and kill Goliath and wonder in amazement, but what we didn't see was how he grew in knowledge and faith while tending sheep. God will never give someone something big without first testing them with something small. David was tested. He was faithful. His obedience made him a man after God's own heart. This is something we can all have! 


From the book from the English deliverance ministry:

“It is clear from the scriptures that a mantle of spiritual authority and special anointing rested on certain  people whom God had chosen for specific tasks. Samuel, David, Samson, Daniel, Jeremiah, etc.
"It seems as though such a mantle is recognizable by the spiritual powers on both sides of the war, so that the enemy targets those people, especially with temptations and diversions which are designed to prevent the calling of God upon their lives being fulfilled.
Remember the story of Job. Without testing we will never know just how strong we are and where our weaknesses lie. To be tempted and fall into sin as a result, and then rise up again, noting the weaknesses and how to combat them, is often a preparation for a major ministry or greater testing, in the very area of life where the weaknesses are.”

Thank you for reading. And God bless.

The gift of a closed door

This is an interesting read . You can also listen to it. For those aspiring to be pastors, this may be helpful. I've heard many pastors say God will stop them in their progress or turn them around at some point and redirect them in a way that is bewildering. Maybe this explains why. This doesn't particularly speak to me, but it may be helpful for someone seeking a ministry. I don't feel God has called me to be a pastor and I think a lot of those preaching aren't called by God. They may be called my men (or their mama), but not of God. How can I tell? One can tell. I've been in a lot of churches. Some men (women are not called to preach) have a calling on their lives, and it is obvious. God gives them a charisma for the work because it is hard work. God will draw people to them. When God calls a man to preach, the people will be fed with knowledge and understanding.  One thing God has reinforced with me is toward the end of the article where it says to be faithful in...

Psalm 121

Psalm 121 is powerful. I claim it (among others) every day for a friend and her family. I believe her family is under attack, and this is a Psalm of deliverance. It could be God has me at this position and point in time in order to blanket them with prayers. I don't know, but I feel a tremendous urge to pray them almost constantly. If God has someone on your mind, it's probably because He wants you to pray about them. Listen closely to how He wants you to proceed instead of having your own agenda. You may never know whose life (or whose soul) you help to save by being obedient. Amen?  Thank you for reading. And God bless. My Tumblr .  And my other blog, None Dare Call It Treason.
