When God talks.........

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!!
    How often do we take things in our own hands?  When we do things what do we forget most?  Yep, GOD!!!  We justify by saying things such as: "well, God gave us a brain to use" or "God made man with intelligence to figure things out" .  Hmmmm.  I wonder if God really said or planned these things.  He knows what we will do and where we will head, but the question to ask ones self is - Is this really what God would want me to do?
     Smith Wigglesworth, whom I mentioned yesterday, was bathed in the Holy Spirit.  He seldom, if ever, went more than half an hour without praying or reading the Word of God.  There are self help books, books to help us understand the Bible, books to dig deep into many topics, but the best book of all that has all the answers is the Bible.
    Why don't more people go to the Bible.  Awww, too simple, it's not for modern day man, written by chauvinist men of old, and on and on.  The only Book we need to answer all our questions is the Word of God.  To understand we don't need Greek, Hebrew, we only need to have the Holy Spirit to understand.  
    How do men heal?  Cast out demons? Perform miracles?  It definitely is not by being Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, Catholic, Democrat or Republican - it is by being Baptized in the Holy Spirit and walking with God.  Baptized in the Holy Spirit does not mean speaking in tongues.  When I say Baptized in the Holy Spirit I mean we are walking like Jesus, have compassion like Jesus, love others like Jesus, staying in constant communication with God like Jesus, sharing the Word of God with others like Jesus.
    Do others see Jesus in you?  Are your problems self based because you forgot to ask God for guidance in what you are doing?  Now is the time to ask forgiveness, pick up, listen to God and carry on.  Do you long for the Word of God----OR is it what you do to please others.  Why do you do what you do?  So others may see God in you?  Or rather for your glory?  To ease your conscience?  To make you "feel better"?  Hmmmm
    The disciples could not heal as did Jesus. They asked him why?  Belief!!!  Later on Peter and John were going to the temple and came upon a lame man begging.  They responded - silver and gold have I none, take up thy mat and walk.  The man was healed. (Acts 3:6-8) They were as Jesus - this is where we should be! Love you all! 
    In Christ's Love and Grace
