I Will Not Leave You 03.07.08

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:12-18)

What an amazing God that we have, no matter what we are facing, even though we feel so alone He is right there with us helping us through it. We have nothing to fear yet at times it seems that is all we do. I think when we are faced with difficulties it is so easy to just play along as nothing is wrong, but each day that goes by we get weaker and weaker and more vulnerable to the temptations of the world only to fall right into Satan's trap.

As I sit here for the first time in weeks and have nothing to do I am left wondering, "God, am I following Your will for my life or mine?" That is not an easy question to answer as there are so many thoughts that go through our heads. So, how do we know when we are following God's will and not our own? We seek Him for answers, we move forward in faith and if something in the back of our heads is telling us to not go there, it is God telling us that we are not to go there.

I will tell you that the past month has been very stressful to me, I have been living in fear and it seems that Satan has grabbed a hold of me and will stop at nothing to get me to give up my faith and fall away from God. I will honestly tell you that I was being investigated, I have been self employed for 5 years and doing work that I really enjoyed. I am an Aromatherapist and Relaxation Therapist. I had a client that was not very professional and tried to get me to do some things that I just would not do. He got angry and a week later I had an investigator at my door. All that hard work to become successful only to lose everything because of one man who for some reason thought that I was supposed to submit to his ungodly demands.Life is crazy that way, we can be on top of the mountain and all of a sudden we make one wrong move and go tumbling.

As I was writing in my prayer book this morning I asked God to release me from this fear, let me know His will for my life and let me know that what I vision in life is His will and not mine. Well, just before I began typing this message I got a knock at the door. It was the investigator, I was cleared of all the charges against me and free to continue my work as long as I have the proper licenses and permits of course. So, just maybe my visions are God's will after all and He is just making sure I am prepared to handle every situation that I would be faced with. So, as I move forward, in my faith I am finally at peace knowing that Jesus is right here with me, comforting me and leading me in the right direction.

He will do the same for you as well, He loves you and will answer every prayer and provide you with everything you need. Of course it is answered on His time, but never stop believing, never give up because when you are ready to accept the prayer being answered it will be.

God bless,
Christina
