Active Faith: Seeking God's Timing and Guidance Through Waiting on the Lord

Almost everyone faces challenges at some point in their lives. These times of testing and pain can push us to our limits, sometimes even causing us to break under the pressure. But in these moments, God provides us the strength we need when our strength is gone. But the solutions to our problems are rarely quick fixes. God rarely provides instant healing or financial windfalls. His solutions…

Psalm 18:2 (NKJV) - The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

She's just finished practicing her swing, the various forms that keep her skills with her weapon sharp. Beryl intends to have nothing stand in her way. Gods, mortals, and even that which escapes categorization will all fall by her blade. It would not do to have poor form when the time comes. Discipline is important to honing skill.

She’s wiping the sweat off with a towel, the glaive-guisarme still in her hand. But it seems like she isn’t alone and has had company for a time.

"Salvation is much more than a heavenly reward or the deliverance from hell. Rather, salvation is the transformation of the whole person and their ultimate transfiguration into the image of Christ. Salvation is becoming eternally and truly what we were created to be – the very image of God." ~Fr. Stephen Freeman

Answered Prayer for Deliverance from Adversaries

To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to Saul, “Is David not hiding with us?”

1 Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength. 2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth. 3 For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah 4 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life. 5 He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. 6 I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good. 7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies. — Psalm 54 | New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible; New King James Version®.

[lettersfromgod]

"…For I am risen up in My anger, I am come forth in My fury! Therefore let every way crack and every foundation crumble; let the earth give way! Let the high places fall with a great crash, and let every false image perish before the great and awesome power of The Lord! See, your wealth has come to nothing, O peoples of the earth. For as it is written: Your wealth shall rot away, your fine clothes shall be eaten by moths, your gold and silver shall become worthless, and shall be for a witness against you in the Day of Wrath, and shall eat your flesh like fire. Thus all the treasure, which you have heaped up against the Day, shall bury you. Therefore kneel, kneel before The Lord of Hosts, humble yourselves before The King! Kiss The Son! For in YahuShua alone is your salvation, in Messiah alone is there deliverance in the Day of Wrath, your only escape. For He is The Lamb; behold, He is also The Lion!… Yet you will forsake Him in the name of another."

"hello, dove. i see you've come to visit today." he's dressed so ... shockingly polite. from lace-lined hat to similarly laced up corsetry and proper petticoat 'neath a dress covering his legs. unheard of for a toreador, truly, not to have slits in the sides of their dresses. but even then, his ankles are bare and his cleavage is aplenty. all of this, of course, presents him to be quite dolled up! "my brother has already left for the topside. you've missed him. and i, as you can see, am about to leave to design my casket."

P1: I am sceptical about putting this out there (for thoughts that malicious people will throw it in my face, and try to use it against me) but I need to be obedient to the Spirit. So, here goes. . .How Jesus Christ found me vs how I am now in Him addition: How He found me: swearing, raging anger, partying, drinking until my vision got blurry and I couldn't remember things, sexual immorality (having sex with those of the opposite sex), depression, anxiety, discouragement, no purpose, smoking Marijuana and cigarettes, deep in darkness, no hope, no future etc. How I am now in Him: profane language has decreased (and in the process of being completely removed), my raging anger is raging less and less (I pray often for self control and to be slow to anger), I am not having sex (and the person I'm with is in agreement with me that we'll abstain until marriage, which is challenging lol, but not impossible), I'm not drinking to get drunk (drunkedness is the sin), I'll drink a couple of glasses of red wine but to a limit where I'm still sober (and it's not often either), I have more joy in the Lord than I thought I had in the world, while I get random attacks of anxiety (I stand on the word of God with regards to that & what the Scripture says) I pray and rebuke it because I know it's not from Him. While there are bouts of discouragement, once again, I stand on God's Word, and rather turn my attention from my discouragement (and cause thereof) to Jesus Christ, praising and worshipping Him in the midst of it. More often the not, I end up encouraged. I smoked cigarettes when I felt stressed/anxious (not only was that unhealthy but it wasn't a good coping mechanism, it was a temporary means to a temporary emotional situation) now I don't smoke cigarettes at all. I smoked Marijuana to give me peace, happiness, to experience enlightenment, to give me pleasure but once again those were just a product of a temporary solution. Now all those things I was looking for in it, I experience with Jesus Christ and I can't even stand the smell of it nevermind smoke it again.

Born to Die (Judges 13:2-24)

In the anticipation of Christ’s birth, we are reminded that there have been extraordinary births in history – a sign that the delivery of a baby will lead to a deliverance of the people.

The angel and Manoah, by Sadao Watanabe, 1972 There was a man from Zorah named Manoah. Manoah was from the family of Dan. His wife was not able to have children. The Messenger of the Lord appeared to her and said, “You’ve never been able to have a child, but now you will become pregnant and have a son. Now you must be careful. Don’t drink any wine or liquor or eat any unclean  food. You’re going…

*Newly Uploaded* - DEATH AND DELIVERANCE

"I tell you the truth, the very moment one has a change of heart do they pass from judgment into life. For I know the hearts of men, and their thoughts are not at all hidden from Me; behold, I look upon their innermost desires, I know every hidden intention. Therefore when one calls upon Me, I know, I see, I hear, regardless of the name by which they have come to know Me, says The Lord - For there is but One God and One Savior, and I AM HE."

Jesus loves you.

We need God to save us from our selfish ways. Our human nature wants to please ourselves, but there is a better way and that is to repent and believe in Jesus, the God who redeems humanity from sin and death.

Jesus died for you and was resurrected to show the power of God.

Jesus is alive.

So, it seems like she’d accidentally bought a whole cow’s worth of meat. It is more than she could ever consume within a reasonable amount of time. There’s no point in thinking about how she’d gotten to this point. Rather, it’d be more productive to find a solution to the problem, a conundrum of her own making.

“Say, could I perhaps interest you in at least half a cow?” She simply approaches the first person to come into her line of sight. There’s no further thought beyond simply asking others until she finds someone to agree. Or until she thinks of an alternate solution.

She belatedly realizes how strange her words and offer must sound. Context is very important, though, she’d be hard-pressed to think of a way that her words or intentions could be misconstrued.

“Ah. It is not a scam. I promise. A real half of a cow. No charge.”

"I love you, O LORD, my strength, O LORD, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.

My God, my rock of refuge, my shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold!"

~ Psalms 18:2-3a

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. 2 Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. 3 Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. 4 Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. 5 Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.

6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the Lord. 7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. 8 You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.

9 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief. 10 My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak. 11 Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors and an object of dread to my closest friends— those who see me on the street flee from me. 12 I am forgotten as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery. 13 For I hear many whispering, “Terror on every side!” They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

14 But I trust in you, Lord; I say, “You are my God.” 15 My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me. 16 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. 17 Let me not be put to shame, Lord, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead. 18 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.

19 How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you. 20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues.

21 Praise be to the Lord, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege. 22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from your sight!” Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help.

23 Love the Lord, all his faithful people! The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full. 24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. — Psalm 31 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.
