Unfathomable Beauty in its Time: Now, God's... →
unfathomablebeauty:
His perfect timing, now. Now is where He has called us. And we are just not ready yet. We need to clean up a bit and pray a little more and seek more counsel and we don’t know how to do that yet and oh, we have our excuses. And Papa says, “I’m here now, and I am ok with the mess because I am here…

It's time to stop being Judas.
Something that’s really been laid on my heart lately is the importance of understanding who Jesus is; I don’t just mean having the ability to list off all of the miracles the Bible mentions, or knowing the exact order of the parables He shared with the multitudes of people, but truly having an understanding of who He is as a God. Ultimately, His character.
I was reading through Mark...

I’ve always been a busy person. When I was in elementary school, I played soccer, volleyball and did dance. In high school, I was in all the plays and show choir, and for a while I was in the youth band. When I went to school last year, I was in three bible studies, travelled to different houses…
This girl…oh, I am just so thankful for this girl and her willingness to...
Do you know how hard it is to go and do school and work when all I want to do is go tell people about how amazing Jesus is? Goodness me.
I tell you the truth: Jesus is real. God is alive.

“You realize that the more incredible thing is that God loves you so much. it is...”
– Evan Oxner
When a man who doesn’t know me, who’s a travelling evangelist, is preaching in church, and in the middle of his sermon feels the Holy Spirit come upon him to come over, single me out, and speaks prophetically over me about things that He couldn’t possibly know about, tells me that I’m moving in the right direction…
oh my gosh, Jesus is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is...

I use Jesus. I try to force His will into being my own, convincing myself that I am so in tune with God that I don’t need to fall at His feet and seek direction. I think I know best for my life.
I know nothing on my own. My “wisdom”, my “insight”, it’s fleeting and in the next moment I realize that I could never understand every perspective, every possible...

bloodredsentimentalblues:
I am done with my past dictating my life. I am dirty and broken, but it’s time to accept God to heal me even if it hurts me. Better off cleaning an open wound and hurt, than not clean it and get infected.
Amen.

I knew all along that I was forgiven and washed clean of my past, but I only let that truth float on the surface of my heart - I never let it penetrate deep into the chambers. My constant prayer has been to gain the ability to stomp all pride into the ground, gain humbleness, and understand…

I'm in the right place. Yes.
My phone is a tank.
Proof? I just tossed it too hard toward my bed and into the wall. The phone didn’t break…the wall did.
Thought!
shesaloverofchrist:
Our lives should not be led “as Christian as possible”. Let me explain: when we have the mindset of acting “Christian”, or what we have trained ourselves to believe is Christian, our lives can easily become focused more on acting as a good person rather than serving Christ. Let your life line up with the Bible. Not Christian culture. Grow in Christ and serve Him. It is as...

preciousjoy:
Never, ever in scripture do we see God and Satan going at it.
Always, when God and Satan are mentioned together, Satan is bowed low in submission to the King.
The victory is ours. The battle is ours. We must choose to be on the winning team…or not.

Here are some things I've learned about myself:
1. I rush into things emotionally. 2. I often convince myself that I’m hearing the Holy Spirit, when in actuality it’s my selfish spirit. 3. I limit Jesus SO often. 4. I run to where I am comfortable. And where the CRAP does it say in the Bible that Jesus wants us to be comfortable? 5. Jesus has been speaking to me through the past four church services I’ve attended that...

Tonight I can’t sleep. But tonight it’s because the Holy Spirit is working in me, preparing me for something bigger than I had anticipated. Yeah, sleep would be lovely. Just not right now.
