Be Faithful in a Little!!!

One of the things I have learned in my walk with Christ is that throughout my life, God will seek to grow me in my faith. This is true for all of us. God rewards those who are faithful! He will continually bring us to times when we must trust Him. He will lead us into situations that require a little faith, and if we are faithful, He will then take us into situations that require even greater trust in Him. Each time that we are able to trust God at a higher level, He will reveal more of Himself to us. Our faith and experiencing God are directly linked.

"He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much." Luke 16:10

The best way to tell if we are prepared for a greater revelation of God is to see how faithful we have been with what God has given us. This is one of the foundational principles in God's relationship with us: If we have been faithful with the little He has given us, we are ready to be trusted with more. If we failed to with the little, He will not trust us with more. God will not lead us beyond our present level of trust and obedience to Him. He will return us to our area of unfaithfulness until we are prepared to trust Him! The children of Israel were unwilling to trust God to lead them into the Promised Land and their generation was never again able to move forward with Him.

We stand at an exciting new door of opportunity to know God more intimately every time we believe Him. Every step of faith leads us into a deeper relationship of faith with Him. It is an open invitation to know God more intimately. Are you faithful in little?

May God richly bless you today!! H Trent!

We Are Royal Priests!!!

If you are a Christian, you are a priest, chosen by God. As members of the royal priesthood we have constant access to the King. If there is ever a need in our life, we don't have to find an intermediary or enlist another priest in order to gain a hearing from the King. Our position as royal priests allows us direct access. This privilege describes our position as a priest. "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1 Peter 2:9. We need to also understand that priests also have a function. It is the responsibility of a priest to work within a priesthood. Scripture does not promote the practice of individual priests, each with a separate ministry. Priests are supposed to function together. (Lev. 9:1). An unbiblical sense of individualism can isolate us from functioning within God's royal priesthood as He intend...

Thinking About Calling Down Fire!?!

James and John were refered to as "the Sons of Thunder" in the Bible. When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community. "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" Luke 9:54. Maybe they felt that through such a show of power, the gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the village in order to further the cause of the gospel. However, Jesus rebuked them! Later, the apostles heard that Samaria had responded to the gospel. Guess who was commissioned to go and help them receive the Holy Spirit? None other but Peter and John! It was God's purpose that the people not be destroyed but saved! God chose not to rain down fire on the village, but to shower it with His Holy Spirit! I wonder what w...

Our Spiritual Preparation!!!

This weekend I had the pleasure of having a study lesson with an incredible teacher! She was very wise and had an incredible anointing of the Spirit upon her. One of the things that stuck with me was when she was talking about how important it is to be in God's Word and how there was a time when she couldn't sleep past 2:30 in the morning that she found herself praying deeply and pouring through God's Word in ways she had never done before. It was only later, after her husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, that she realized that the Lord had been preparing her spirit for the trial that lay ahead. That is the key today! There is no substitute for spiritual preparation! Had she not prepared herself through God and His word, she wouldn't have had near the courage or strength to go through what lay before her. Spiritual preparation equips us for unforeseen crises or opportunities. However, if we are unprepared spiritually, we will be vulnerable to life's unexpecte...
