Everything is in Him, through Him, to Him, for Him and all in HIS TIMING. This is why Jesus died on the cross, so we could LET GO of our own life and give it over to Him. Let Jesus take control and take over – this is where His peace, joy, fullness and power overflows in our spirit in a supernatural way, that makes no sense in our natural mind. This is where He wants us to be when it seems like everything we see in the natural is falling apart. He wants us to just trust in His love. Trust in His goodness. Trust in His faithfulness. Trust in His word. Trust “that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). If it ever seems like it’s not working, He can see the bigger picture. He might be testing your patience, building your character – ask Him. If you don’t get an answer straight away, you will eventually. Do everything for His glory. He has so many riches and blessings to pour out over your life, no matter how much your life seems to be in a mess. He DOES restore double, triple, a hundred fold.
Another thing we do when we are believing for a breakthrough, is compare ourselves to other people – especially when it looks like they didn’t get their breakthrough or they didn’t get what they believed for. Don’t do that!!! Don’t compare! Don’t look at others if they say God didn’t come through for them – God always comes through! As soon as we start comparing, doubt starts creeping in – the enemy’s not stupid, he’s very strategic and subtle, but thank you Jesus that the power inside of us is so much greater than the devil – he’s already lost! There is always a reason why things happen the way they happen. Don’t ever doubt the love, care, faithfulness and goodness of God.
I’ve really been noticing lately how a lot of people don’t believe in God’s faithfulness, love and goodness that He has for them. Surely we can see that through the cross? You know, if we just believed that Jesus died on the cross for us to receive eternal life, then what the heck is the point of us still being here on this earth??? Do you really believe in His love and goodness in your own personal life, in your marriage, in your health, in your workplace, in your kids, in your finances, in your relationships etc? Does this come out of your mouth? You can tell when someone doesn’t believe in all His love and goodness by the way they talk. He is an awesome, loving, faithful, merciful and gracious God to us here and now. I really believe that this can be lost after we first get saved. This is our first love that we need to never forget. This is what God wants for every single one of us on this earth, “to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19. This is how we begin to know God.
The evidence of believing how much God loves us, is trusting in Him. If you really believed and knew how much He loves and cares for you, you would trust Him in every area of your life. This is believing by grace through faith. You trust and believe in His love, care, goodness and faithfulness in every area of your life and stop trying to control it yourself, because that is why He died for you on the cross. Don’t worry – I’m not there yet – but I’m trying!!! One step at a time…
