Doing your part,after God does His.
Ever saw it that way?
No wonder,our first experience
of asking and receiving tells us
His Spirit reveals another way of God?

Let me share with you this concept.
For it is one of His hidden ways!
A spiritual walk does not begin and end with salvation.
He has conditions,He has requirements.
You are expected to do your part.

No one ever taught you that?
One needs only to look at their own life to prove it.
"How close do you want to be with your God?
There may come a time, when you, your faith,
and your love for your God:
will have to stand in that furnace.

"Everything is great", things have never
been better for me. "I'm cool"!
"God and I are just fine".
I imagine those thoughts raced through
the minds of many in the twin towers, on 9-11?

Do you know your God?

This is a world of priorities,stresses,
demands, everybodys needs.
It is impossible for even me to care for me?
(Another Lie.)
God knows that time is a trap.
This is why it won't have any place in heaven.

Don't you realize the world as you know it,
could end at a moments notice?
Then what you cherish today , if not God,
would be as worthless tomorrows.
Every gift of God is yours by faith,
but you will pay a goodly price for it?

There are requirements,expectations,responses?
No one ever told you?
Are you still on babys milk?
A walk with God begins with stepping out,
on the water,getting out of the boat first?
Then He responds.
As you learn to obey?
By beginning to destroy that old man within.(Selfishness)

Gods grace, is bigger than just Salvation.
That is a divine gift by itself,but; it doesn't stop there?
Salvation, is the jumping off point,
the beginning of who God could really be to you.

Self-abuse will really be understood in heaven,
by many believers: as we kick ourselves
for what we placed higher than God now!

"Again he measured a thousand,and brought
me through the waters; the waters were to the knees.
Again he measured a thousand,and brought me through;
the waters were to the loins.
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river
that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen,
waters to swim in,a river that could not be passed over."
Ezekiel 47:4,5
