For Your hand is not so short that it cannot save, and neither is Your ear so dull that it cannot hear, for whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. Isaiah 59:1

I was saved and didn’t know God. I had been raised in “religious tradition.” I was in a church and there was no one to help me and it wasn’t their fault. It was a discovery that I was going to have to make myself, but years went by because I didn’t know it. However, good things happened to me while I was there and I’m sure that it was the mercy of God.

I had been raised in the church and so I knew a few things. But, I didn’t know the Word of God and the bible is that. I never read my bible. I had gotten a few urges to do so over the years but every time I came up with an excuse. True enough as a result, the victory was that much sweeter when it came. I didn’t know “nothing.” As a result, the devil decided to mess with me.

In true to form attempted murder mode; the devil tried to kill me with a brain tumor. I was still at the above mentioned church and that was when I knew that in that place I had learned something; I learned about faith. All of my steps were ordered by the Lord during that challenge. I got the victory!

I changed. I needed God to guide my life, I trusted no one else to do the job. I ran to Him. I rededicated my life to HIm and then I found a new place where I could grow and soon I found out that God not only heard me but He had been trying to tell me some stuff.

DESENSITIZED…

The average person is desensitized to believing that people can actually “hear” from God. I’ll tell you why:

Basically because we all knew someone whom we deemed to be “strange” by normal standards who claimed they heard from God and seemed to be able to “twist” the bible because they knew it better than us. We knew something was wrong so we “decided” they didn’t and no one could. They were the only ones saying it so they had to be crazy right?

So people were…desensitized and have been. Some were compromised; they believe but they want to stand back until a crisis comes, that way they can still do the things that the flesh desires and not what God desires.

What if your crisis comes and the one that comes has the potential to take you or your family members out? If you were to leave this earth in the next 30 minutes m(God forbid) are you really sure about whether you’d go to heaven or hell?

If you are sure; make a decision to make Jesus The Lord and Master of your life HERE.

Take care of it today; you’ll be glad that you did!lanieavagarden.jpg
