Think about this...

I often wonder If we are in the will of God, does it mean that we aren't going to get in trouble. Don't let anyone tell you that if we are in the will of God we won't get in trouble. Because Jesus was in the WILL of God and He went to the cross. Don't let anyone tell you that you may not be in the will of God because you got into trouble. Job was in the WILL of God and got into all kinds of trouble! Lost his kids, lost his stuff, lost friends, and worst still, his friends came along and tell him he might not be living right. But God SAID that Job is a faithful and upright man that assured evil. Flipping heck. Why do we listen to the devil? Why do we listen to our friends when we know better?

The truth of the matter is, whom of the Lord love of, He chase of. We go throu sessions in our lives where they are going to be prunings in our lives and we are going to loose some bad stuff, but some good stuff also sometime. We can be connected to God like a branch to a vain, we can be productive, and producing fruit, but God still may cut back those fruits in our lives. What do we do when that happens? Don't do anything. Cos the bibles says that there are going to be seasons that we bear fruit, and during these seasons we are still going to get prunned. If God allows us to lose our fruits, KNOW that He's going to replace it with something far better in our lives!

It's simple. In order for God to do something new, the former things have to pass away. The good and bad fruit, the branch that wasn't bearing fruit, it all has to go. Then, only then, can he add increase in our lives. If we are going throu a down time, a time where our fruits get cut, it's a process. Don't look at the process, look at the purpose! I mean, look at Jesus, the bible said and we clearly knows that Jesus did NOT enjoy going to the cross. But for the sack of the people, he endured the cross. How amazing is that? He looked at the purpose of what he was going thru, and not at the process when he was getting beat up and spat on. He's not going to take away stuff now just because He can or because He wants to. It's because He wants to take you thru something BETTER. Something FAR GREATER then what you are experiencing now! The bible says the process of pruning is taking the fruit that it had, so that it can come back with more fruit, and finally coming back with much fruit. When we have been thru cycles of trouble, cycles of storms and seasons of craziness, we can be out of trouble and be bless, but still be worried. It's like there's a cloud hanging over our head and we're just there waiting for another storm to hit even thou we are in a good place. Just bcos we been a cycle. And thats what the devil has created. Making us no longer expecting a blessing where else we are always expecting a storm.

But God has something else planned for us. OMG.... think about this alright. Let me put it this way. We're sitting here in our chairs right now right? We're not thinking anything about it. Weather it will fall or not. we TRUST it! We put our whole weight in it. In my case, a whole 105kgs on it! We don't check underneath it everytime we sit on it bcos we TRUST it! TRUST it to hold us up! God said if you can trust something made by man... YOU CAN TRUST ME! I mean, think about it. what if we throw our full weight on Him, and TRUST Him? What do you think it'll happen? OMG OMG... I think i'm gonna let you guys think about the rest of this message... ;)
