Security of Spirit is never a waste.

I barely remember it now – kinda wonder if it really made any impact at all – but was I recently reminded of a conversation – of a time that perhaps by describing my faith I had NO impact of the situation except it got me thru it – perhaps that was what God wanted – plant a seed and not me watering it – but perhaps someday – perhaps… Just keep sharing. Maybe it is not about testing a situation but about just leaving all the answers there on their table and they can read them – no skin off your back. Life is not a game to win but have won by God’s Grace.

It wasn’t about winning that particular “fight” that day but about doing what was/is right. And either way it made me more bold that day – I got to witness – and be salt and light – in an awkward moment. I got to speak of God’s Power and Plan in an as “natural” a conversation opener as could be FORCED by the Holy Spirit, especially in an unnatural scene to me… Yeah – but isn’t that what the Lord does? Force and Bless SALT on a situation to make it more palatable? Shed LIGHT on a situation to make it more understandable? 

SALT AND LIGHT!!!

Yup… God’s got a plan… and a LIGHT… and a SALT shaker/warehouse… God opens windows and doors for His entry. A trial becomes an opportunity for God to move. That day I put on my “Armor of God” right before the conversation (so that the conversation would not catch me off guard, not this time). That day I forgot about until now. But then and sometimes if we put on our armor of God, we can actually hear the clinks of the world bearing and beating down on our armor, and not ever penetrate, but feel and KNOW the best SECURITYOFSPIRIT, know God’s winning the war while we stay covered.  After the battle quiets, and we are able to speak, the softened hearts may hear in the healing. God is in control… For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.Isaiah55:8-9…  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Keep Your Security of Spirit on my friends. Fight the GOOD FIGHT – with a GOD MIGHT. God’s Plan is going to be ALL RIGHT!!!

Amen

Isaiah 56:1-8 NIV – Salvation for Others

This is what the Lord says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed. Blessed is the one who does this – the person who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps their hands from doing any evil.” Let no foreigner who is bound to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.” And let no eunuch complain, “I am only a dry tree.” For this is what the Lord says: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant – to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever. And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant – these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” The Sovereign Lord declares – he who gathers the exiles of Israel: “I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered.”
