Wow. Its been awhile since I posted. Alot has happened in my life. God blessed me with a car, my own apartment. I'm going to college for elementry edu. God has been so good to me. More then I deserve. I can't even begin to tell you all how much God has done!  GOD Is AWESOME!!!! Hes been working mightily in my life. Teaching me about his Grace, how I don't have to be a slave to the flesh.That  I can just say no to the flesh.  Grace is an awesome thing. I still don't fully understand it but i know God will help me understand it. I'm growing in being lead by the Spirit. It's so awsome how God loves us.  I'm so amazed at the way God works. Have you ever wanted someone to know  so much  you just wanted to be able to put their spirit in you to understand excatly what  you mean. As i write My spirit  wants to shout and to tell all he's done. How renwed my mind with His word how he's taught me to live to stand and to be in Christ. 

The joy of the Lord is my strength!

Praise God!!!!!!            I love Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mood: joyful

I'm finally online now.  We have a computer.  Praise the Lord!!! God has been doing some major work in my life. I don't even know where to begin. Of course I know that he is always at work. Which brings me down to this questions

How do all of you discern Gods voice?  

I know God speaks. I know he revels himself in his word.  I want to get  to a place where I can be still in my spirit to have peace and hear him better. He has been calling me to a more intimate relationship and I greatly desire and long for it.   I want to know God more. In a deep intimate way I want to experience God in his fullest.   He has  reveled to me several thing one concerning my home life.   A spirit of strife has been running rampant in my home, attitudes aren't the best, theres bickering and arguing and I long for peace. I long for his peace and rest. I'm weary. 

Just so many things are going on.

 him calling me. 

learning to follow him and trust him

Trying  to be obedient

I went to the local  library several days ago and you know how  the holy spirit prompts you to talk to somebody and give them a message. Well I found that the word I gave her God was telling me too. She was telling me about a dream she  had and in her dream she was in a car with her lil sister and there was a tiny crack in the window well she had said her sister was pulled through the crack and her flesh came off as she was being pulled and God spoke through me saying  

"The Devil can get into the smallest crack and cause destruction" and here I am several days latter find out just how true those words are.

 
strife, stress, and anxiety have settled in their is raging battle going on. 

In the midst of it I just want him and to be still. For Jesus to calm  and rebuke the raging storm and peace to settle in.

 I don't know when I opened that door or how . But what I understood today is I'm out of balance.  My  flesh life is out of balance and i know there has to be order. I can't ignore my needs as far as food and health and other things. But I should be building up my spiritual life. Not letting it to go down further. The flesh shouldn't be master. It makes a great servant but a poor master.

God brought Philippians 4:6 to mind. "Be anxious for nothing but in everything  by prayer and supplications with thanksgiving make your request known to him."  

I know God has great things instore for me his word says he does. Jeremiah 29:11 

Well thats my update.  I would appreciate  if you kept me in your prayers. May you all have a blessed weekned.

Your sister in christ,
                         Jennifer






 

I know a lot of people maybe sitting around wondering if they have a call on their lives.  Sometimes I think when "the call" is mentioned we think "gifts of the spirit" like pastoring,  missionary, evangelist, teacher,music minister, and so many others. I guess what I am saying is do we mix up the gifts of the spirit with calling? Doesn't the word say we are all called according to God's purpose. Then, What is God's purpose? Salvation and calling those who are his to a righteous, victorious and abundant  life through Christ Jesus.  Are we looking for a gift and being idle or are we  going through  with  God's purpose which was to go out and preach to all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them, teaching them to observe all things that Jesus commanded us?  As I grow in God the answers become clearer.
