This morning I was at the
computer and noticed my right hand, and there was a ring missing from my
pinky. (I am a ring person).
It was a lovely dark blue
Tanzanite and diamonds. I was distressed
for a minute but then I thought,
"It has to be in the house somewhere or I would have missed it
before." My first thought was to
call my dear friends, Lynn and Brian - (my twins friends from OK City). These are the guys that are great spiritual
"locaters." They are the guys that located my cell phone when it was
dropped in the night time in a puddle.
Remember! And God has used them
in wonderful ways to "find" lost things.
Then had a thought, "I will
search the house thoroughly and then I will call the twins. God spoke to me right away and said, "Well
why don't you call them now?" So I
thought, " OK then", and I
called them They "located" the ring ( by
the Holy Spirit) in about 20
seconds and told me exactly where it was...in detail
I went and looked, found the ring
and called them back. We laughed! But then afterwards I realized I had thought,
"I need to DO SOMETHING first (in the way of searching) before I called
them to do the easy thing. Just ask"
Yield to Him
I wondered if we go through all
kinds of hoops unconsciously before we just simply ask and let God do it...must
be the remains of old works theology.
Funny how it keeps popping up now
and then. I am not at all into
"working for Jesus". He
doesn't want us to work for Him. He
wants us to yield to Him, and He will work through us. It's much easier that way and MUCH MORE
EFFECTIVE.
It's ALL HIM. 100%.
We get to do the yielding - not the trying. Trying can be very trying.
"His right hand and His Holy
arm has gotten the victory." Religious spirits always make us try and do
what only God can do .
He (Jesus) is the one who is, "Going to present us faultless before the Presence of His
Glory with exceeding joy." Jude
24 He (Jesus) is going to do that.
It's His prerogative. Not your
prayer partner, not your mom, not your Pastor, not your husband or wife is able
to do that. You are His trophy. He is going to present you faultless. . He is going to get all the glory because He
did all the work
"It's
not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy He
saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus
Christ our Savior; That being justified
by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Titus 3:5-7 KJV
Chill Out - Take a Break
There is no striving and trying
and working at it in the Spirit realm. Remember your first calling is to enjoy God,
and that out of that you can serve Him as you are led by the Spirit. It's funny, sometimes we will do anything except
simply believe - fast, pray, etc. but when it all comes down it's simply trusting Him to do what He said He would
do. "Casting ALL
your care on Him because He cares for you." I Peter 5:7
"For
all the promises of God in Him are yes and Amen to the glory of God."
(2 Cor 1:20)
