“For a child of the Lord we all love to spend time in God’s presence and sometimes we stay there continually asking and seeking the same things of the Lord..Amen..we just somehow maybe think that if we pray a little longer..or maybe if we pray something differently..you know maybe be a little bit more fancy with our prayer lives..Amen..that God would grant us all of these request that we have taken before Him over and over..that God will just do all that we’ve asked of Him..Amen!

“But how many of ya know that God’s ways are not ours..Amen..that His ways and His thoughts are much higher than ours..Isaiah 55:8-9..that God has a plan for our lives..and that plan sometimes doesn’t fit into the plan that we ourselves made..Amen..because it will look different then what we are wanting..Amen..but see just as the Lord called the disciples to come and follow Him..and that as they did He alone would make them fishers of men..Matthew 4:19..Amen!

“And their plan wasn’t the plan that God had..for you see they were living their lives..just doing their thing so to speak..and here comes Jesus..Amen..and He says to them pick up your cross and follow me..Matthew 16:24-26..Amen..and to this very day the Lord our God is saying the very same thing to you and to me..pick up your cross and follow me..Amen!..and so I keep thinking about the story of the disciples and how the Lord called them to follow Him..and it wasn’t a let me think about it with them..they immediately followed!..Matthew 4:20-22

“They didn’t say to the Lord well, let me think about it..or let me pray some more about it..no it was okay Lord here I come..Amen..because most of the time the Lord our God has already let you know the path that you need to be on and that you need to be taking..but you second guess it..and you never get up and place feet to the call of the Lord our God on your life..so in turn you stay there in the very same place that you have been.

“Because scripture says faith without works is dead..James 2:14-26..Amen..we have to put feet to the call..we have to get up and place feet to the very thing or things that God has called us too..Amen..because you see the Lord says my voice you will know but the voice of a stranger you will not follow..John 10:5..so today my very question to you personally is are you, yourself gonna get up?..are you gonna deny yourself and follow our Lord?..because you see once again it’s only and has always been about Jesus and Him crucified..Amen!

“So say yes to the call of Christ on your life..and get up and go!..sharing and making a difference for our Father..Amen..being His hands and His feet extended out to a very lost and dying world in which we live that need a Savior..Amen..so say, Yes!!!..get up and go!!..don’t second who you are..for you see God says whom I have called I as well have equipped and prepared..Isaiah 43:7/Romans 8:30..your ready..so go..for it in His name, Jesus’ name that 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
