It is extremely important to understand that the Lord is on our side, regardless of the situation! Do not walk ahead if the Lord is not ahead of you!
I would like to bring a brief theme that touched my heart a lot! If you have also had a hard time understanding that the Lord is at your side or having a hard time staying in Christ, I think it’s important that we talk about it!
Come with us!
What happened?
During the past three weeks I confess that I was distant from God! I was trying to do things by my own strength, without letting God take over. Furthermore, I did most of them for myself and not to please and glorify God!
There came a moment that was sunk in myself. I didn’t understand what was going on, where I was supposed to go and what I was supposed to do! Why? Because I was trying to take everything in my hands and do more than I should, doing things that God showed me not to do and worst of all: I thought I was doing God’s will and doing things to please Him, when in fact, I was doing everything for myself.
Gradually the Lord started to open my eyes and show me where I was going and what I was doing! I was trying to deceive myself and dig a hole under my feet. Through people, praise, moments of prayer and reflection in the Word, the Lord showed me that it was not there that He wanted me! I heard His sweet and perfect voice telling me:
“Son, look at me again, come back to me! Stop running in a direction that I am not in. You need to understand that if you walk in a direction contrary to Mine, you will be lost. Alone you can do nothing, but when you truly give everything into my hands and let Me guide your heart, then you will be on the right path and you will feel true joy! “
This was essential and undoubtedly a moment that will remain in my mind forever!
The Lord is at our side!
“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
John 14:26
Jesus shows us that he will not only be at our side, but will teach us to obey to what He has commanded us! This is essential for us, because by our own strength, we will never be able to obey the Lord, because we do not have understanding, discernment and wisdom. All these things come from the Lord!
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”
Revelation 3:20
He calls us and is waiting for us, just answer! If we want to live with the Lord, have the real pleasure and to have eternal life by His side, we need to say yes to His call! Open the door when He knocks, Answer when He calls! But what do all these things mean? What would it be like to open the door, say yes and answer His call?
He leads us to change and transformation!
“Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”.”
1 Peter 1: 13-16
All these things mean: be obedient, do everything according to God’s will and principles and in a way that pleases Him. Several times I tried to make up my sin, to look like I was not sinning, as for example: looking for a girlfriend since the Lord had already shown me that it was not time for this, but for disguise my mistake, look for a Christian woman. What is the use of looking for a Christian woman, if I was already walking in the wrong direction, against the will of God?
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
Revelation 3: 15-16
Unfortunately I have created a habit of lying to myself, to relieve my conscience of sin. Nonsense! The only way to get rid of sin is not to commit it and have a straight life with God! Looking at the cross of Christ, truly repenting my sins and giving my life into the hands of Christ! Walk with Him and live according to His commandments.
“Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
James 4: 8
The Challenge remains:
I would like to leave a challenge for all of us this week! Let us pray for the sanctification of God’s peopleLet’s go together in this?
Grace and Peace!
This is a lifetime daily duty…to let go & let GOD👀🕆🕊we can do nothing without HIM but ALL things through HIM so lets quit limiting him & become his family
That’s awesome that God used u for this blog & i would add, the peace which surpasses ALL understanding will culminate for His PURPOSE
Thanks for power ful and encouraging words. May God bless you. Lord let me to walk through your words.
Praise God for your pure soul. Thank you for sharing. You have put into words what I couldn’t, and all this is me, or was these past couple of weeks. He is always beside us, never forsaking us despite our sins. Praise your Holy Name, Father God.
I thank God for this message, yesterday i had a very terrible experience and wanted to commit suicide really badly. My head was full of thought, the only solution to put an end to this long suffering is to think of suicide.
I have attempted it so many times, but the spirit of God always come a round to rescue me. As a open my phone this morning this first thing i opened was this bible app.
I my greatest surprise♡ this message came up on my phone with yhe Word God Is Beside Me. It was such a huge relief to know that he has not let me alone and he will never leave me.
Thank you so much for this blog, it has lifted me up from the thought i had yesterday to a more happy person this morning. knowing that God is beside me . it a healing word to the broken hearted.
I hope other readers will continue to be blessed by it in JESUS name Amen ♡
Beautiful testimony – touched my heart. I am going through exactly this situation right now. It took me a long time to realise to stop doing things in my own strength and let the lord take charge of my life. The art of waiting upon God is indeed a priceless learning in my life.
I finally found the blog in this app. I basically had just been reading the bible and devotional scripture. I thought the blog would open automatically when the notification notice was tapped. Still exploring new things on the phone.
Thank you so much for sharing that encouraging word, just what I needed. God Bless you.
There is no stronghold bigger than Christ Jesus. Relying on the holy Spirit is my daily declaration. The soul is saved everyday, in the morning ask the Lord to take your body as a living sacrifice and allow the Holy Spirit to possess it anf grant you new wisdom for the new day. THE WORD IS A POWERFUL WEAPON.Let us use it🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This message is rich. More insight. God bless you.
Thank you God for all your blessings lord
Brother you are on Point. While we are
SHUT in we are not SHUT OUT from ABBA. Many are claiming Psalm 91 which is very appropriate for a TIME such as this but are MISSING the VITAL Prerequisites of DWELLING in the SECRET PLACE of the most HIGH in vs. 1 and MAKING the Lord their HABITATION in vs. 9 to REAP the Benefits of this chapter. This is done by DAILY HOLY REPENTANCE and HOT HOLY FELLOWSHIP of a Born Again Believer in a LIFESTYLE of TRUE WORSHIP in SPIRIT and TRUTH having a Very STRONG DESIRE…FIRST…to Seek the Kingdom of God and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and…THEN…ALL these other things will be Added.
If you have UNREPENTANT sin, UNFORGIVENESS, PRIDE, REBELLION, STUBBORNNESS, LUKEWARMNESS, FEAR, and DOING IT YOUR OWN WAY…WILL…DISQUALIFY your ENTRANCE into the SECRET PLACE.
Some feel at Ease with just being at Gates of Thanksgiving while some feel SATISFIED at the Courts of PRAISE… HOWEVER, it is HIGH TIME to come IN to the MERCY SEAT/SECRET PLACE of the THRONE OF GRACE…BOLDLY…where the PRESENCE OF GOD IS…SEEKING His FACE and ON to HIS HEART.
PLEASE remember that you can Come as you Are..BUT…you Cannot APPROACH HIM any KIND of way OTHER THAN HIS WAY. SELAH!!!
Wow….it feels like if I wrote this myself. I need God so much. Thank you for such encouraging words. God bless you! 🙏💝

Thank you!
Amazing! God is perfect in all things. I’m on the exactly same path of sanctification, looking for His will in all my decisions, not covering up my sins, but confessing ever single one of them to Him, in order to not only looking for His forgiveness but, essentially, His discipline.
You was really inspired by the Holy Spirit. God bless you!

Wonderful reflection; thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you and all of us in our daily struggle. 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for being open and sharing your experience. I too try to do things my way instead of turning to God please pray for me.
Wow…as soon as I saw the title I couldn’t have opened it fast enough. I have felt distant from God of late because I have been too immersed and consumed by the very things he made possible (work, studies and children) that I’ve neglected taking the time out for him. I’ve tried to do things on my own without asking him to take the lead for me to follow and things have not ended out great trying to do it alone. In fact fear began to consume me and I felt my prayer was empty because i began to not feel the connection i once had with God. Nonetheless I hear him speaking to me always asking that i spend time with him and to read the word. But each time I say I will, it does not transpire. Reading this blog has given me hope and reignited the fire I once had and needed to devote myself to Christ. I think I am in need of prayer so please pray for me.
Thank you for this message from our heavenly Daddy. I have really struggled over the last 7 weeks with being very ill. I’m still not well and having to take new more powerful meds today which I’m praying will work and I will not react badly to as I already have medical issues.
What our heavenly Daddy has been snowing me is to keep my eyes fixed on Him. To not walk in my own ways. He has brought me to a place where I have to rely totally on Him to get me through this. For some time before this I too was deceiving myself and walking ahead of Him, second guessing Him and sometimes thinking I knew better. I don’t know what His plans are for me but I have surrendered to Him because I came to the end of myself and I want to glorify Him. I cannot say that I don’t still get anxious but I try and stay as close to Him now trusting that what ever happens He will be by my side till the end.
God bless you and thank you. Xx
Thsnk you for this piece.
Thank you. You all are touching lives. Grace and Peace.
God bless
I believe God is all powerful and can stop or allow things like Covid 19 to come to pass…so essentially everything happens according to his will.
So if he doesn’t want me to win the lottery or get a certain job,it won’t happen,so why pray for it then?
God is able to do what no man can do in our life’s
amen
Thanks for the wonderful message
Truely of this understanding of passage in my heart it play.
It has been good and wonderful for given us the good massage that encourages us on how to follow the ways of the lord plz I need prayer
