1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore Encourage one another and build each other up, just as you are doing."
When God speaks he has the last and final say in everything. You can either listen to his word acknowledge and obey or you can just simply ignore him and go on your very own way!
God is simply a gentleman.
I was touched recently on my job by a coworker.. I guess because I see myself in her. Yes, I see myself in her. Young and niave. That was me just a few years ago. God allowed me to change and he is now using me to minister to others. My coworker is one who will let anyone in her circle, she learns to trust anyone. I find no harm in that but in doing this it tends to lead to alot of self hurt. When people on your job or anyone knows your business it is easier for them to run and tell it. " If you know what I mean..."
My coworker has a very bad taste in choosing men, She likes the bad boys... Me and her recently had a conversation because she told me she was snooping on social media and found information about someone who he (Her current boyfreind) is supposedly currently dating. Aw, the hurt I saw in her eyes it was almost as if she lost her best freind. Me being me, I wanted to hurt him myself but I can only fight my battles her battles is between her and GOD.
I told her do you think that God hurts when you hurt? She responds, "YES!" I then asked, " Do you think that God would want you to put someone else before you put him?" Shes responds, "NO!" I then ask, " Do you go to church?" Immediately the conversation turns sour, shes begins to rant and tell me that " I DON'T NEED CHURCH, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH, LISTEN TO PEOPLE SING, SHOUT ETC." Well that made me cringe inside. I am a new christian and I tend to meet alot of people who are hurt and Are so MAD at GOD! I then responded, " Well do you pray?" She responds, " Yes I pray!" I told her, "God does not want to see you hurt, he hurts when you hurt, he feels everything you feel when you are smoking and doing drugs and he wants to see you at your best worshipping him and living for you daughter. I didnt get into much of a detail with my friend because the conversation wouldn't have went anywhere.. When I meet people who are angry with God I tend to back away, it will be conversation that I wont win. The best thing I can do as a freind and a woman of God is to pray for them and ask God to reveal himself to them.
I relate to my coworker because I use to be niave, insecure and just like her. God wrecked me and he changed my life for the better although I am still changing and he is still working on me. You never know your chance and your spot to minister to someone. We are here to uplift and encourage and be a light to the world. PEOPLE ARE OUT HERE HURTING. They are searching for the Good but their flesh is searching for the bad. They know want they want but they allow themselves to be used and abused. God does not desire that for us. He wants us to serve him and wait for a best mate. That is my desire to wait for my BEST MATE. It is very hard being a "babe in christ." ( A babe in christ is someone who is anew in christ.) Being a babe and seeing people in love, and new relationships puts a toll on your flesh. Your flesh will have you thinking, " What are you doing? Don't you want to be held and told I love you by someone. Go out, who cares have sex with him!" NO NO and NO! Resist and FLEE! It is more easier said than DONE. We must Pray and come to agreement with Christ that we will allow ourselves to die to our flesh and come alive with the spirit.
I want to speak life tonight to the hurt, mis-used and abused, Pornographic hearts, people who are discouraged from every angle. Let God breathe into you. Worship him! Pray, fast, and read that bible every day. Trust me if God is calling you he will not allow you to forget about him. Your way will never work, and GOD will always win.
The moral of my story is ENCOURAGE and UPLIFT be an example to a young hurting soul who is trying to find themselves. Pray and ask God for a Yes before you approach them. Keep in mind that you do not know who you are about to approach. YIELD and listen to the Holy Spirit. ( to yield is to be under command with the spirit, never put yourself before the holy spirit it will never work)
I pray that this blog was an encouragement to someone, I pray that you recieved some sort of information to minister to your life. I love you my freinds and God bless.
