As we are traveling along in our walk in the Lord there are times in which we know we are to go, or do a certain thing. (Let the reader understand)[remember Ai]
On our way to accomplish this simple and uncomplicated task of what ever sort, we get gripped by fear and we shy away from what we know God has told us to do.
I believe that I could right here include each and every one of us in this synerio, because each and every one of us who attempt to do what God has for us while sin lies deep with in, will experience weakness and ultimately, defeat in doing what God whats done in his way in his timing.
If your confused about what I am talking about, be sure and read Joshua chapters 6-7-8.
Here's the deal, even though we experinece weakness and ultimately a defeat in what we are attempting, once the sin is confessed and forsaken and we are cleansed by God, now we can proceed with God's plan, God's way and God will use us to accomplish what he wanted done in the first place.
"Well how will I know if there is sin for me to confess and forsake?" This is the question that I would have to ask myself, and here is the answer that I would give me.
Allow God's word to do the work of opening my heart and my eyes and allow God's spirit to bring conviction, then after my admitting my wrong and cofessing and forsaking it, the Holy Ghost applys the forgiveness purchased by Jesus blood, now I can move forward in God's plan in God's power. That's how it is said in religious jargan.
Here is the thing about this, this is never a one time deal and it's overwith. Like any other relationship we have committed ourselves to, there must be the recognition that we need to understand the heart of the other person that we are commited to adjusting our actions to their benifit.
My only hope of knowing God's heart is God's Spirit! And this is only done through relationship with him through His Son, and this is only accomplished by Jesus death, burial and ressurection active in my life today.
How is this possible? You ask...well my friend, keep asking and keep seeking and keep knocking, this is the heart of the whole issue knowing God, and is discovered by revelation to your heart. Do you really want to know? Keep seeking, keep asking, keep knocking.
