“For us all I’m sure in our walk with the Lord it has been difficult at times to obey Him and His will for our lives..for we live in a world as to where we are constantly hearing so many voices and so many opinions about everything in life..including ours and how we should live them..Amen..but for the most part the biggest thing in growing up in our spiritual maturity and as well just stepping over into that place that God desires for you and I to be at..than how many of ya know that takes obedience?..Amen..for you see we all have to do what Christ is speaking to us to do..we can’t do whatever we really want to or should I say what we think we want to..if we are choosing to be all that we can be and should be as I say for the Lord in our lives..than the first thing is surrender..Amen..but than as I say it is obeying the Lord and His choices and His decisions that He alone makes for us all..Amen..for you see God the scripture says know us and our lives from the beginning to the end..Isaiah 46:10..and He alone knows what’s best for us and our lives..Amen!”

“So obeying the Lord leads to victory..Amen..and honestly the key to all of our victories..because the Lord leads us and guides us to where He has for us to be at in our lives..and we get there with every act of our choosing to obey..Amen..as I say choosing to obey Him..regardless of the world or what any others says..Amen..we gotta know that we know that we hear God speaking to us and our lives..and we will know..because the word says that our Father’s voice we will know and that the voice of a stranger we will not follow..John 10:5/John 10:27..Amen..and of course how many of ya know that we can hear the voice of the Lord and know that it is His voice and still have free will to choose to do whatever we want?..Amen..I mean take a look at Jonah..he knew good and well that God was telling him and calling him to go to Nineveh..but..Jonah did not want to go..so he did his so called own thing..and well, we know the story Jonah got thrown over board of a ship..and he ended up in the belly of big ole fish..for three days and three nights..until he decided to be obedient and do Gods will and of course the fish spit him out on the shore..Jonah 3:5-9..Amen!”

“So I guess my question for us all is why do we disobey so willingly the voice of God?..just like it isn’t no big deal?..Amen..knowing good and well what Jesus has already spoken to you..but still choose to do your own thing..Amen..and you decide ole well I will suffer the consequences..but you know guys that is what society does already..I mean the ones that are not believers for the most part..and somehow along the way we as believers jumped right on board with them..and we do our own thing..or things..which is return is what leaves so many in a mess in their lives..because you see God needs for us to obey Him..because when we obey..we grow and we learn..but more than that we reach the place in our lives where God can use us mightily and we step over and step closer into the place where God created for us to be at for Him and His kingdom..Praise the Lord..but God resist this so called haughty and proud spirit that so many have come to be at in their lives..but He does give grace to the humble..1 Peter 5:5-6..Amen..but my prayer for us all is that we heed to our Fathers voice..and we listen and we obey more now than ever before..but more than anything is that we have a fear of the Lord..because yes, our Lord is loving and forgiving and all patient and kind..but as well He is the God of wrath and vengeance..Amen..so honestly once again to make a change in this world in which we live..it starts right here and right now with you and with me..choosing to heed the call of Christ on our lives..choosing to listen and choosing most definitely always to obey..being the best we can be with every simple act of our obedience..making a difference where we are at in our lives..hearing the voice of God and obeying..for it is 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
