Do WE REALLY BELIEVE?

Recently I have been under so many attacks, and major relentless oppression, all at the same time. Intensely serious stuff.

 Phew!

 Unfortunately, it has become a major distraction in my mind and I feel like I am  swatting " flies' in the natural.  Isn't satan the "LORD OF THE FLIES".   A book I read in high school. Those ' flies' come have come  in all sorts of ' packages'.  Health issues, betrayals/being persecution, finance issues, and more.

  I also know many of my ministry peers, and especially Prophetic friends ,also under this kind in immense pressure. Many are weary , and heavy laden, and fighting just to survive. Some being forced into back into Caves, from the pressure..

  SO ,Thursday night past,  I watched a re run of Little House on the Prairie. In this episode, Michael Landon ( Charles Ingalls )  adopted son James had been accidentally shot in a bank robbery. He survived the surgery, however was left in a coma. To spite his wife , the Dr, the Pastor, and his best friend, and a Shrink ,Doc Baker brought in trying to convince him, to give up. They ALL wanted for him to be 'realistic' and accept that James,  would die.

   They all also tried to paint him as out of reality , with his all  expectations of a miracle and would mock him when he said he had heard from GOD, to press in. In fact the Rev Alden, said, ' YOU HEARD FOR GOD', like Charles was nuts! 

   He found himself going back to all he learned about his Maker, and decided to prove God at His word. It was so bad he set himself apart , left them all. Then he took his son, and with a handmade lean to in a field, he separated himself from all these ' naysayer' /religious spirited Christians.

  God began to meet him with what I would call , " God kisses', glimmers over hope. James was moving his eyes, and clearly could hear him. He continued to press in, to God. Note he actually had to get away from the naysayers. Sometimes we need to do that to keep out focus. 

 What surprised me was the Pastor who insisted he himself had never seen a miracle, and it was clear to me the miracles in the Bible were just stories to him. WOW!  I am seeing that now with certain churches and quasi Christians.

  

  Michael Landon  got a revelation for God to build a stone altar, and he did that with a cross on top.

He actual was being scriptural as I had just read in the bible where GOD was directing an altar of stone! 

  An ANGEL in a man suit paid him a visit ,and also inspired him to continue .

We can be that angel to individuals that have given up on hope.

  God used this same angel when his wife and friend were going to continue to pursue him to ' give up. The angel said, ' not now', go in the morning.

   Well  that  night ( Charles) carried James to the altar, and he GOT his miracle, and all were astounded.

Is there anything we need to bring to the Altar? UNBELIEF?

   I was so inspired with all hitting me, that God showed me unbelief in my heart for all the miracles I now need. I have seen many, I have participated in some, and the devil even tried to tell me that my ' miracle time' experiences had Expired!!  I bought it for a time.

   THE DEVIL IS A LIAR , folks! 

    Michael Landon even with his limits to just the word of GOD , took GOD to task , and GOD proved HIMSELF mightily.

    I think one the lessons here ,that it says in the BIBLE that Jesus Himself said that unbelief will hold back miracles.

     We get so caught up in the horizontal we may forget that GOD is NOT a liar, GOD is the same as throughout the ages , He will remain the same, and He has not left the Throne , and WILL NOT EVER..

 If we are reading His WORD and not embracing it as reality, why are we bothering;? Are we fast food Christians? Do man believe church on Sunday being the only place many believe that miracles can happen. Or only with the laying on of hands. 

      For me it was a reminder to press in for those signs , wonders and miracles and we are the only ones sometimes that are holding back the promises. Are we brave enough to ward off naysayers in the light of  desperate times, and stick to our guns? Do we not house the Resurrection power?

    I have so much against me right now, I am definitely needing GOD fixes' for all.

    I have no idea , all the puzzle pieces are randomly on the ceiling, and I have no clue what the final picture will look like, when the hit the floor. . Can we venture out like Abraham into the unknown and just believe GOD?

 My goodness Abraham did not have the written history of all the miracles GOD had done, yet HE knew his GOD and said, ' I WILL and Trusted GOD

  I sure needed this refresher and it took a show like this  to remind me to press in and that God does have this, and I can go about my business, knowing that it is not IF, it is WHEN , it will all work out for my good.

  YES I REALLY TRUST GOD! DO YOU?
