I'm Coming Out!

Have you ever felt that you just want to hide, stay inside, revert to old habits because the new things that God called you to seemed to get crazy? You walked in obedience and it seemed like everything fell apart. Money got funny, people made promises and didn't keep them, job acting up, family, etc. I'm sure you can tell your story over and over again. Let me encourage you to come on out.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1

And just in case we did hide, got tired of the mess, found ourselves in emotional distress ....

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 2 Corinthians 6:17

Come out from the midst of negative thinking and don't go by your feelings or emotions. Renew your mind (Romans 12:2), guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23) and get yourself back to where you were and do what God called you to.  Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that He has good thoughts towards us and desires to bring us to our "expected end". But we can't get there if we become weary of well doing (2 Thess. 3:13; Gal. 6:9)

Look in the mirror and declare and decree, "I'm coming out!" and say what you are coming out of. Use your God-given authority to cast down every imagination and pretension that keeps rising up against what you know the LORD has said. Laziness, doubt, fear and disbelief breed disobedience.  And disobedience is sin.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 3:19 NIV

I remember as a youth learning how to evangelize using the Four Spiritual Laws. There is one part that says, "God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life." That plan started with salvation (receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior) but it didn't stop there. There are gifts and abilities that God has placed in you and a purpose that you must fulfill. You cannot fulfill my destiny nor can I fulfill yours. We can just encourage each other in the journey.

So, let me encourage you (as I encourage myself) come on out and do the will of the LORD. There are people waiting for you; God ordained it to be so. Do not waste any more time trying to figure out why, how, when, where... etc. Hear the voice of God and be obedient.

Side Note:  This message comes to me first and I am therefor first partaker. I cannot encourage you to do something that I am not willing to do myself. I spent the past few months dealing with various storms that had me shipwrecked like Paul's account in Acts 27 ... but I'm still here. So, keep a sista in prayer that I will  "prove (discern) what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God " is for my life and I will do the same for you. May God restore unto everything that the locust and other devouring insects destroyed and blesses you abundantly. May blessings overtake you as you walk in obedience to our Daddy (Abba Father). I speak this in Jesus' Name ... And it is so (Amen)~
