who do you say I am?
“He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; He provides you with plently of food and fills your hearts with joy.” Acts 14:17
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
“If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.” Deut.n28:1
“The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these words: ” ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.” Acts 13:34
“Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” Romans 8:17
My brothers and sisters, where is your faith? show me your faith. The God that breathed life into man, breathed life to the Word, healed the blind, healed the lame, raised the dead to life, came to the world as man and was torchered and killed and was raised from the dead and went to hell, ascended into heaven, conquered the Enemy, sits enthroned at the right hand of God, can also send His people to another country, can raise some money, can keep us safe, can use us to set captives free, can bring hope to a hopeless people!!! He has called me to go and I am going! I am going under the will of our Father! He will get me there regardless of anyone’s effort or prayers. But here’s the deal HE wants us to all do it together He wants your effort He wants your prayers He wants your faith He wants your trust He wants your love He wants your surrender. HE wants to take care of you He wants to romance you He wants to LOVE you!! He doesn’t need to but He delights in YOU.
God provides. He will not forsake me. I am being obedient to His call because I fear the LORD. I fear what my life would be like without Him. I fear how unhappy I would be outside of His will. I fear for the lives of those who could be lost without hearing the Gospel. We are equipped we are able we have the means to take the Gospel. So I am going. Even if I were in danger, even if the Lord did not spare my physical body from pain or death, may His will be done! That wouldn’t be it for me. I would rather die for my God because I was obedient than to stay here and be completely outside of God’s will for my life, only because people were too ”scared” for my safety. I understand concern and I’m sorry but where is your faith??
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deut. 31:6&8
