GET OFF THE FENCE AND ASK

GET OFF THE FENCE AND ASK

               

Where there is no vision, the people perish. -- Proverbs 29:18

Ever been alone in the dark? Surrounded by darkness, you can't see what is in front of you. You grope and stumble and try to move forward without hurting yourself. This is what God speaks of when He talks about His people perishing. They have no vision, they cannot see their future. By their own blindness, they hinder the plan of God in their lives and are immobilized. God also says:

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge. -- Hosea 4:6

Seems blindness and ignorance are close cousins. People have no vision because they are ignorant of God's word, which is the beginning of all wisdom. God wants to bless your life and help you succeed. You cannot run of blindly looking for this great future prepared for you. You must get wisdom, obtain knowledge. You must start to learn. This is crucial for living successfully as a child of God.

God's promises work hand in hand with your knowledge and obedience of them.

You have troubles?

Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. --Psalm 55:22

Need protection and help?

The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on Me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will satisfy them with long life and give them My salvation." --Psalm 91:14-16

Feel alone, want to quit?

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. -- Hebrews 12:1

Need speedy answers to prayer?

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. --2 Chronicles 7:14

Need Money?

And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. --Deuteronomy 8:18

God has so much He desires to give you as His child. You cannot get what you do not ask for. You cannot ask for what you do not know. And you cannot know if you do not learn and learn what the qualifications for His promises are.

Many Christians have learned and applied God's promises and they have experienced and abundant life; spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically and materially. God is no respecter of persons. This means that what God will do for one, He will do for all. Everything you need has ALREADY been given to you the moment you accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. It is yours as an inheritance. You must begin to learn what you can and cannot have and walk in these realities. Here are just some of the things God promises YOU:

Salvation, Accomplishment, Answered Prayer, Assurance, Belief, Blessings, Charity, Help with Children, Comfort, Compassion, Confidence, Contentment, Courage, Decisions, Discernment, Discipleship, Encouragement, Eternal Life, Faith, Faithfulness, Finances, Forgiveness, Freedom, Friendship, Future, Giving, Goals, Goodness, Grace, Guidance, Healing, Heaven, Help, Holiness, Honesty, hope, Humility, Identity, Integrity, Joy, Life, Love, Love for Others, Love for God, Maturity, Meditation, Obedience, Parents, Patience, Peace, Perseverance, Power, Praise, Prayer, Presence of God, Priorities, Provision, Purpose, Quietness, Redemption, Repentance, Rest, reward, Righteousness, Scripture, Security, Seeking God, Self-Control, Self-Worth, Singleness, Speech, Stability, Strength, Thankfulness, Thoughts, Trust, Truth, Victory, Will of God, Wisdom, Witnessing and Work.

WOW! There are just a few of God promises He speaks on in His word! There are yet much, much more! You have access to them all! Re-read the list; if you could shop in God's grocery store for all that you want, what would you pick? How would it affect your present life? May I suggest you get your Bible and start reading and learning how they can be given to you? God is waiting for you to come to Him with a heart for change and improvement. He wants to give freely. He wants to help. He wants to bless you. If your motives are pure and not asked simply out of greed and selfishness, God is willing.

The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. --2 Chronicles 16:9

The Lord is looking for those who truly love Him and are committed to His purposes so He can strengthen them. We want to be among those who say,

"Here am I. Send me." -- Isaiah 6:8

Will This Be You? Get Off The Fence And Ask!

God Bless
