“When you say Yes to God!”

When you say yes to God don’t expect that where you are or what your doing in your life is where you will forever remain..because when we say, Yes..God begins to rearrange and move things..and He begins to change things..and shuffling around us and our lives..I am sure just like Peter, Andrew, James and John and even James Father the bible said were out there minding their business doing there thing, mending and fixing their nets…and along comes Jesus…and He says to them, follow me and I will make you fishers of men..and the scriptures says that straightway and immediately they left their nets and they followed the Lord..Matthew 4:18-22…they didn’t think about it..they didn’t try to find excuses as to what they need to do first…when the Lord spoke they listened and they obeyed…they weren’t thinking about going from town to town being disciples of the Lord…I’m sure that probably never even crossed their minds..for they were raised and they were taught to be fishermen..but how many of ya know that when the Lord leads you and the Lord speaks to you…you have no other choice but to listen and obey..for none of us ever want to get out of the will of God for our lives..for surely we wouldn’t want to be like Jonah..whom the Lord told him to go to Nineveh..but Jonah refused…so long story short he tried to run away from God and Gods plan that He had for Jonah’s life..so Jonah ended up on a ship out in the ocean and long story short ended up being swallowed up by this big old fish and there Jonah lived for three days and three nights in the belly of that fish..Jonah 1:1-17..I couldn’t imagine that..but how many of ya know that you can’t hide away from the Lord…for the bible says that whether we ascend up to heaven or whether we make our beds in hell…either place there the Lord is…Psalm 139:8…so just know today that when you get to getting serious with Jesus..and you get to going about Gods business other than your business..you don’t get to do them things that you want to do in life..but you do them things that God wants for you to be doing in your life..for how many of ya know that Gods way are best…if you want happiness..and you want joy..then you go on and get to being about the Lords business..for I tell you, you will live the most joyful and peaceful life that you could ever live in all of your life..for you see in Gods presence is fullness of joy..and at His right hand are pleasures evermore..Psalm 16:11..Praise God…I love the song…that says this…Everybody knows that I like to go fishing..and when I go I’m a man (woman) on a mission..no rod, no reel, no pole..when I go fishin’..I’m fishin’ for souls!!…Well, Hallelujah..and isn’t that all of our goals in life…to go fishin’ for souls..Praise the Lord..and we do that guys when we deny ourselves and pick up pick up our crosses and follow the Lord..Matthew 16:24/Luke 9:23…so today if God is bidding for you to step up out from your comfort zone and follow Him..then by all means I pray you listen and your obey..and do as His disciples chose to do..and they straightway and immediately left their nets and followed the Lord..for there’s no place that any of us ever want to be in our lives…but walking hand in hand with our Lord following Him and His will for our lives…for the Lord knows where we need to be and when we need to be there…so let us trust and let us obey..Always and forever..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
