9/1/19 | Scripture Challenge

Well, I realized (too late) that since I had posted both of my August Scriptures in one post that I probably messed a couple of you up.  Sorry about that. 

On another note, I feel led to ask you this question (or make statement) -- I really pray that each of you are carefully protecting & standing strong in carving out your time alone with God.  It is the only thing that will continue to get you through this crazy world we live in. Do YOU believe that?  Because if you don't, you will continue to compromise & live a lack-luster life in Christ - if you even live a life in Christ at all.  But not only that - if you are attempting to read & gain wisdom - without the Holy Spirit - you are just getting a whole lot of knowledge that in truth-- will not do you any good at all. 

We are called to live FILLED under the guidance, counsel, training & direction of HIM.  Are you?  Now don't get me wrong - not every second and every moment of my seeking is "all that" - in fact, occasionally, I am distracted and it feels like I got nowhere (that I have even dishonored Him) - but that does not STOP me from continuing.  I do not have to see, feel, hear or experience "something" to understand and KNOW that NO MATTER WHAT.... this is important.  Our relationship is CRITICAL.  As you grow and mature, life continues to change. You continue to transform.  Things are new & you will begin to understand and have insight into not only what IS happening, but also when something new is on the horizon.  The Holy Spirit stirred something in me today on this verse - affirming what I have shared with a few close friends.  God is on the move not only IN me, but also in the body of Christ.  He is raising up warriors.  Are you coming along or are you being left behind?  Choose.

Isaiah 43:19 Amplified Bible (AMP)19 
“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even put a road in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.
