The question came to me a few days ago which was..
Are you really a part of the remnant ?
When I started thinking about it alot of things came to mind. Yet, what seemed to matter really didn't; because the question required more than a flippit answer. It really required that one do some soul searching, and thoughts of the things that has beentaught about the lives we live as believers.
A few things that came to mind were: Are you really doing what God has called you to do ? Not what you want to do; yet, what you were created to do? Are you willing to admit that you can't give up some things..because it's really pride and it really requires you to let of some things that he has told you to long ago ? ..knowing all too well that he's not going to take from you; even though it's something that hinders what God wants to do in your life? Are willing to accept the truth that your prayer life isn't what it used to be ? Because you're too busy doing the work of the Kingdom and not becoming a kingdom person.. in your thinking and your everyday living ? Are you willing to confess to yourself that you don't always move when God tells you to..because you need 15 confirmations and a prophesy from Prophtess or Prophet OnTarget ? Are you willing to truly to commit your ways to the Lord, trust him wholly, and delight yourself in the Him; even if he doesn't give you the desires of your heart ? Knowing wholeheartedly that your desires will become his desires and the only thing that matters are things that really matter to Him ? Are you willing to take a look at your fianances and accept the responsibility for your poor spending habits, overextended credit, from the car down to the shoes your wear ? Knowing that rebuking the devil and binding "the spirit of credit card debt" isn't going to work today..because it didn't work yesterday? Are you willing to go to your brother and admit that the need that he has you can meet; after telling him "let me pray about it" ? Knowing when the words came out of mouth; you weren't going to pray; your thoughts were already somewhere else ?!! Asking for forgiveness for being selfish and thinking wrong thoughts of one who really has a need ? Knowing withing that God has already told you to give that brother or sister 500.00 .
I know for me personally that it going to require some changing..whether it's job, residency, my thinking and so much more. Because I realize being a part of the Remnant is going to require more of Christ in my life and less of me. As God is making ready a people who will not be overcomers; yet, they will be subude and overthrow the "demons" in their own lives and the lives of others.
With all of that in mind...everyone have wonderful and blessed rest of the this week....Stillfocused
