My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Doing the will of God

Philippians 4:6- 7, be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Many Christians ask Almighty God to help them live according to His will. They pray for it, because they mean it. They find Bible verses to back up their prayers but are still disappointed when they don't receive a message from God.

Philippians 4: 13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I know how they feel, because at one time that described me. Every day I would commit myself and everything I did to doing God's will. I asked our Father Almighty God to take total control of my life and everything in it. I figured that that was the safe thing to do. It seemed like nothing really changed; I was still in a spiritual vacuum.

Isaiah 26: 3, you will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You. Because he trusts in You.

In recent years, I faced at least six or seven actual life or death situations. Those times, I felt peace I've never experienced before. I felt the presence of God each time.

Through those times until now, I feel contentment about myself and everything in my life. Just as the Bible describes. We spend time talking about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and read the Bible.

After all of that, we finally figured out that the total contentment and trust in God was because we were living according to His will. The thing we must all remember and that includes myself, is that faith is not any motion that pops up like some kind of an explosion of faith. Faith and doing the will of God is really quite simple. If you take the words of Christ Himself and abide in Him and ask Him in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ to help you live according to His will, that is exactly what will happen. When I finally stopped looking for answers I found what I was looking for because he led me there.

Trusting in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and giving your life to Him, you will get to the point where you know you are abiding in Him and He is abiding in you. The next step is ask in his name and you will receive. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I Thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. 

Amen! 

Praise The Lord!
