Steps forward

[Smiler33]

Hi, just wanted to share with you that I think I am slowly moving forward in my walk as I give myself over more to the Lord. I have struggled with something for a long time on and off now. Yesterday, as I was walking my dog, I had it in my mind to go a certain way so I could give into my weakness - I felt a feeling inside me saying 'no, don't go that way - you're just rubbing salt into the wounds, let's go this way'. And I did. I listened to the gentle nudge I had and I felt so pleased that I had obeyed.

When I got home I read my Bible which was spot on for me; it was Psalm 131 about a weaned child lying still beside his/her mother just as we can rest in the Lord as our relationship with Him changes. I'm changing from a 'baby' Christian to a more mature one who just enjoys His presence. I then prayed for probably 20 minutes and the words just flowed so beautifully. I felt very peaceful and at ease and am so glad I never gave in to my earlier temptation which I know was put there by the evil one to test me.

I woke at 4am this morning praying in tongues and again it was just flowing and beautiful - luckily my non-Christian husband was working away in Belgium this week so I didn't have to worry about disturbing him! I've read the Bible again now and am just aware of how much we are loved and cherished. Now the trick is to keep gently moving forward and surrendering ourselves more fully - never an easy task but we have the Holy Spirit right inside us guiding us in our journey.

There you go. Getting all right. As you yield more and more to Jesus. Giving HIM dominion first over you, sacrificing your own desires, to follow HIS will. You will begin to be truly alive indeed. What drink could satisfy what the living waters can not? The living waters are there to quench our every thirst. As you drive yourself deeper to HIM you find those waters baptizing you anew. In releasing the pains, the urges, the desires, you place your desire first for Jesus, then your husband. Lastly, for you. This is how you need to walk in perfection. As you strive for this, your eyes will be opened anew. You will walk in fullness of life again. You will be able to breathe in, drawing in refreshing winds of change. Trusting in HIM in all things. That unbelieving husband will see your light, and he will want it for himself. It will draw him to it, much like a bug is drawn. Helplessly he will walk to it, and he too will become consumed with its wonderful splendor. Give it all to Jesus. Every thought, every concern. All your love. Watch it overflow anew. In Jesus. GotoGod.
