Because He Said So


The World Can Seem to Bb Flat Without Music 
© Debbie Turner Chavers
Because He said so, I can dream and see the reality of my dream. What dream do you have that is waiting to hit daylight?

The sweet dream of success is followed by work.
We all have dreams.
Reclined may be the posture of a dreamer, but up and at them is the stance of those who succeed.
What do you need to do to awake and see the tangible result of your dream?
Just as the world would be flat without music...so the dark of night would be gloomy without dreams.
Awake and Arise to your possibility.

~Debbie


Prayer: Father God help me to apply myself to my possibilities. Grant me the courage to step out and do what I can not do in my own strength.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen


Philippians 4:13I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Matthew 19:26
But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Mark 10:27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

The Burden of Disobedience


Choices
© 1999 Debbie Turner Chavers
 Last month I realized that part of the reason I retreat from some situations is a refusal to take on someone else's"burden of disobedience".  When you know that another has the knowledge and the ability to do God's word, yet refuses to obey, it is a burden. 
Their refusal and poor lifestyle becomes a burden to you if you allow yourself to be sucked into a whirl wind of rebellion.  This is a choice. Yours and theirs.  God has enabled us to make the right choice in all instances.

Rebellion causes people to be miserable and blame others for their choices.  Do not become a victim of their choice or their sin. 
We are to lift up the name of Jesus by our fruit.  By confessing His word, by lending physical help when needed and prayerful help always.  Yet, the wicked one is never satisfied with_______ (you can fill in that blank).
Do not allow someone else's choice to serve the devil make you a victim with them.
Be Led by the Holy Spirit of God in your response and prayer, in all things, with all people.

The burden of disobedience becomes a grief of spirit and mind  when you try to do for the other person,what they are not willing to do in agreement with God's word for their well being.
The burden of disobedience is a choice.  A wrong choice. But everyone has a choice and is responsible for the choice that is made.
Stay in agreement with God's word on every subject.  God will require each mans choice.  He has already chosen us.
The disobedient will try to tell you that you are self-righteous, wrong, haughty, full of yourself, responsible for them, to them, and their choice. Wrong.
Yet, no one says these thing to a STOP sign on the road.  Yet, this an be an indicator of caution, observation, and thoughtful response. 
Ignore it to your own peril.
God gives you a choice.  Choose life.

Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Join me, as I declare,
"but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Deuteronomy 19-20  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

John 15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

1 Peter 2:9  But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Galatians 6:5  For every man shall bear his own burden.

Matthew 11:30  For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.

God Loves YOU!

God, Creator of heaven and the earth, LOVES YOU. You can trust Him.  He called all things into being, including you.  Trust Him, He loves you.  He will not forsake you, He will never leave you.. You are not hidden from His eyes.  Look up.

~Debbie

Isaiah 40:25-31
To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that [he is] strong in power; not one faileth.

Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
