| | Yes I am like a bloomin' onion. Life is unfolding before my very eyes. Speaking of eyes, this week I have gained a new appreciation for my 5 senses. I don't know why. All I know is that life would be kinda miserable without them. But God gave me 5 senses so I'm rejoicing. The last few weeks, I have had impaired sense of taste. UHHH, I hated it. Anyways, I've been doing some thinking... something I like to do, and the Lord dropped a sensitivity on my heart to desire "SPIRITUAL SENSES"!!! Saying God I wanna hear what you hear, and feel what you feel specifically regarding the lost!!! As he laid this on my heart I realized how I am to value my senses. God didn't just give me my senses for me. He gave them to me so that I might:
1: be a vessel of glory for Him.
2: that I might be able to communicate the very message of life in a tangible way with my fellow man! Which is being a vessel of glory for Him.
Invade me Jesus!!!
Last night was prophetic presbytery at CFC, and as the prophets were uh prophesying I began to pray. I prayed that the Lord would loose the chains that have bound, and not just speak calling, but change lifestyles. As there is a call to holiness, there is also a call to sacrifice and a call to obey! Sometimes I wish that I could do more for people.
Somebody reminded me yesterday regarding a job that I applied for, that if the Lord doesn't have this in store for me, that He'll close the door... I just need to move on and say "It is well with my soul"! However, I know that if I get this job, PEOPLE WILL COME TO KNOW JESUS!!! So until he closes the door, I am absolutely believing that this is his will for my life. On the other hand, are there not people who do that same thing with really bad Ideas, and say... well... if God doesn't want me to do it... He'll close the door. In certain cases this does happen, and often times God has already said no and we keep on going with ignorance! Yeah Yeah, preach it Brotha!!! All this to say, that he have nothing to do with writing the will of God. God has his will and we are to do it. There are to many people that believe that whatever they want to do is the will of God! That's man's will, and unless man's will is submitted to God's will, we'll have issues, and you might have to write your will. God is sovereign, and yet merciful. He's loves to grant us the desires of our hearts. But he also loves it when we seek his desires for us and walk in the way that we SHOULD go. His plans are perfect, and all his ways are just! HE IS GOD! Thus my life unfolds like... a BLOOMIN' ONION!!!
