God's PERFECT timing

 

Habakkuk 2:3

King James Version

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, 

but at the end it shall speak, 

and not lie: 

though it tarry, 

wait for it; 

because it will surely come, 

it will not tarry.

Heart, and precision.

That's how you can differentiate God from the world.

Unless you're born again, you won't understand the beauty, and elegance, of God's PERFECT timing.

You must be of the Spirit, to know Spirit.

Only when you're born again, in perfect obedience to God, waiting on His will, and instructions -- from His Holy Spirit -- can you be trusting, and patient.

If you're not born again, you will remain captive to the world.

You will be beholden to its demands, and time table.

You will live in fear and confusion.

Not so when you are God's.

Psalm 147:5 (KJV)

5 Great is our Lord, 

and of great power: 

his understanding is infinite.

He will tell you what you need to know, in EXACTLY the manner He designed for you to understand.

God is a God of PRECISION.

His timing is perfect, exquisite, and magnificent!

He'll know when to help you.

He'll know when to answer your prayers.

He'll know how to answer your prayers.

He'll give you specific instructions, from the Holy Spirit, or from His angels (as in the Old Testament).

Consider the instructions given Lot when God instructed His angels to get him to leave Sodom and Gomorrah, and there he was, tarrying:

Genesis 19:17 (KJV)

17 And it came to pass, 

when they had brought them forth abroad, 

that he said, 

Escape for thy life; 

look not behind thee, 

neither stay thou in all the plain; 

escape to the mountain, 

lest thou be consumed.

As born again, all you need to do is pray, wait, listen, trust, and do God's will.

Trust not the world, nor your will.

Trust only God, and wait upon Him.

Psalm 27:14 (KJV)

14 Wait on the Lord: 

be of good courage, 

and he shall strengthen thine heart: 

wait, I say, on the Lord.

God will always lead you to safety, to wisdom, to love, to Christ.

Only God would know how to help you, for He knows your needs.

How can you enjoy the magnificence of the Lord, unless you are His?

Become born again, and you will marvel at all the clues, inspiration, and instructions from the Holy Spirit, who will lead you to safety.

Even this article you're reading now was inspired by the Holy Spirit of God.

As I thought of how perfect God's timing was in my own life, ever since I was born again, the Holy Spirit inspired me to write this for all of you.

I testify of God's truth.

If you are not born again, the world will make sure you are kept in the dark, your soul reserved for its purpose.

Become God's now, and trust this verse:

Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; 

and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, 

and he shall direct thy paths.

Being BORN AGAIN is a GIFT from God

 

1 John 4:9-11 

King James Version

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, 

because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, 

that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, 

not that we loved God, 

but that he loved us, 

and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, 

if God so loved us, 

we ought also to love one another.

You cannot be born again, unless God thinks you're really ready for Him. 

God decides when, and how.

God decides about everything, in fulfillment of His own plans for 7.8 billion people on earth.

Only God could do that.

If you seek the Lord, with all your heart, He will be found.

Even as He had been there all this time.

Just that you weren't.

Pretty much like what happened to me.

I kept searching for God's truth.

I called it ultimate truth.

But what was it?

I wanted to zero in on it.

How could I find it?

God was pretty silent about some things.

He let me find my way around Him.

If the Bible could blink, as I wove my way through endless books at the thrift shop, He would have.

If He could laugh, He'd be roaring His heart out.

He was right under my nose, and I didn't even realize it.

I kept searching elsewhere.

But God respected my ways, even as it took a long time for me to realize the Bible contained ALL the answers I needed.

Sure, I'd pray to God for my needs, and questions.

And yes, He'd answer in a way I would understand.

Still, there was no governing power, for I had not given Him my heart, in full.

I had not been ready for His Word.

As a writer, journalist, curious child, trained in Architecture, God knew I was wired, and coded, for precision.

Would He have let me approach His Word, without all that essential training?

So, He let me make mistakes.

He knew I'd get up again, and find a better way.

Until one day, I couldn't find a better way, and finally surrendered to Him.

Exactly what He was waiting for.

After that, everything became easy.

The Holy Spirit started instructing me.

Non stop, for 17 months now.

I was led to important videos, teachings, and verses about the Word of God, from many various sources, only chosen by God.

And my heart gratefully absorbed all that.

Each day became magnificent!

The Bible was opening His (for it's God's) heart to me, showing me, teaching me, delighting me, and I was like a happy child, astounded at all the treasures I came upon.

That's how it is when you give your heart to the Lord.

He gives you the Holy Spirit.

Scripture becomes clear.

You begin to understand God's ways.

You love obeying God's will.

If anything, studying the Bible, means searching for His commands.

Questions, and prayers, are answered -- before you're even done asking, or praying.

Every day you wake up is a joy, a day to look forward to.

Now I know why the prophets don't bother with their looks.

God matters more.

You do not have room for vanity, only God.

You're like a heat-seeking missile, only focused on the fire of the Lord.

Unless you've become born again, you will not understand what I'm saying.

Scripture becomes your whole life.

The Word of God is the only thing that can fill your heart, right your wrongs, direct your path.

You cannot have enough of it, for Jesus is Living Water, the Bread of Life.

Only a thirsty, and hungry soul, can comprehend that.

When you've found Jesus, you will certainly be a changed man.

He will create a new heart in you.

Ezekiel 36:26 (KJV)

26 A new heart also will I give you, 

and a new spirit will I put within you: 

and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, 

and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Consider being born again the most delicious path back to God.

Now, everything I learn, is rooted firmly in Christ.

He is my heart, and my foundation.

He has a purpose for me, and I let the Lord lead the way.

It's always back to God anyway.

Again, my question is:

"How can you not want to become born again?"
