Move With The Cloud! 11/11/15
Revelation 3:7-8 (KJV)
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
God has an "OPEN DOOR POLICY!"
Romans 8:31 (KJV)
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Some things are just meant to be!
Acts 5:39 (KJV)
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
A line from a "new to me" Andrea Crouch song, LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN, says it all about the Bible:
"
YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT, REARRANGE IT-
GOD SAID, JUST BELIEVE IT!!
GOD HAS SPOKEN, LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN!"
AMEN!!??
I have said MANY times, "God has a problem-He REALLY believes He is God!"
BUT even God cannot steer a parked car!!!!!!!!
We can SIT in our PARKED cars all day-all our lives-turn the steering wheel every which way but loose-and go NOWHERE!!!
It is ONLY when we engage the clutch of life and MOVE forward that WE get anywhere!
As the old song says, "YA GOTTA MOVE WITH THE CLOUD!!!"
"
AS WE FOLLOW WHERE HE LEADS-NEW LIFE WE WILL RECEIVE!
MOVE WITH THE CLOUD-MOVE WITH THE CLOUD!"
And YES, you CAN teach an old dog NEW tricks!!!
Like the Apostle Peter, one MUST step out of the boat!
Matthew 14:28-29 (KJV)
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
It takes real courage and faith to get out of the safe and secure boat of life!
The definition of INSANITY is doing the same things and hoping/expecting different results!
And MOST of the time, WE only change after kicking and screaming to stay the same!!!
WE will stay in a bad relationship, terrible job, drive a broken down car, live in a dangerous situation, remain sick and overweight as long as WE can stay comfortable!!!
Me?? CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????
The UN-known, the FUTURE is only SCARY because We have never been there before.
WE are afraid of failure or failure to arrive.
WE do not know if "it" will be worth the effort to get there?
Will MY investment in time and money pay off?????
Paul BOLDLY declared:
Philippians 3:14 (KJV)
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
PRESS-a prolonged (and causative) form of a primary verb
dio
(to
flee
; compare the base of
<G1169>
(deilos) and
<G1249>
(diakonos)); to
pursue
(literal or figurative); by implication to
persecute
:- ensue, follow (after), given to, (suffer) persecute (-ion), press forward.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
In closing, one of my FAVORITE words is "DILIGENTLY!"
Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him.
from <G1537> (ek) and <G2212> (zeteo); to search out, i.e. (figurative) investigate, crave, demand, (by Hebrew) worship :- en- (re-) quire, seek after (carefully, diligently).
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
My definition of DILIGENTLY is "PURSUE WITH A PAINSTAKING EFFORT!"
Is the CLOUD OF GLORY MOVING in YOUR life????
TODAY, beloved, get out of the boat of mundane and MOVE WITH THE CLOUD!!
"
WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM!"
GOD BLESS YOU TODAY!
