Willingness and revival (started as a Facebook status)

The Bible is Gods perfect plan for us. But we are imperfect. So how can we follow it? That's where the new testament comes in. Jesus makes you perfect...just because of Himself. Your abilities are endless when you are IN Him and He is in you.

Suffocated by your situations and circumstances? Jesus can make a way for you to get THROUGH.
Worried about the future? Jesus already made a plan, ask Him how He wants you to follow it.
Stressed about money? Jesus said do not worry because He will provide for you beyond how He provides for the birds.

The thing that often separates people from experiencing The Lord's fullness is: willingness. When we are unwilling and we make our own conditions, it leaves little room for God to work because He will not force Himself on us, we have to let Him in.

Many times what God asks us to do is hard because our minds cannot comprehend His ways. Sometimes we think He's slow, or not doing it the way we want, or sometimes He asks us to stay where we are so we can see Him gradually make it better.

This is so true in relationships. Society has brain washed and emotionally washed us to think if someone isn't everything we want, we can get rid of them or demand that they change. But God never says we should change anyone, He says we have to change ourselves. And if we are truly connected to Him and spending time delighting and pursuing Him, the Holy Spirit will guide us on the change we have to make. It is hard, and there are many many believers who avoid the Holy Spirit's prompting's because its "easier" to just get rid of someone, when in the end, it closes us up from receiving a revival.
I know, because the Holy Spirit has convicted me for 14 years and I have made the choice to stick out relationships and I have seen the revival of The Lord. 

Ask God to search you (Psalm 139:23-24) and work as hard as you can to be the person He wants to chisel you to be. Let Him carve and mold you however He sees fit, and lay your own thought about what should happen at His feet and leave them there.

I pray The Lord speaks to you today like no one else can :)
