My Life feels like it is at a crossroads right now. I am ready to move forward and get where God wants me to be. It's like I just want to go somewhere. It is a weird feeling that I can't really describe. I am ready to step out in faith and really trust Him. I am not sure what that looks like yet but I will continue to seek Him to find out what that means.
I have been listening to teaching tapes from Kenneth Copeland, Jerry Savelle, and Jesse Duplantis on faith, words, and The Blessing. I have learned that all three of these go hand in hand. It is amazing what God has been showing me. I have noticed words being said that are not speaking life. This even happens at my church. The thing is that so many Christians don't understand the power of their words. God mentions it so many times in the word. I have been going through and finding these verses which I will have a blog post on later. I am thankful God has been showing me things about words. I am able to catch myself before I say something or if I slip up and say something I shouldn't I can ask for forgiveness quickly. This new truth will be a part of my life from now on and will help shape my life.
I have been taking a finance class at church the past four weeks and I have learned a lot. There is one thing that keep being said that perturbs me though. "It is ok to be in debt" and "God never said we couldn't have debt , He said there would be consequences though." In Romans 13:8 it clearly states that we should not have debt. "Keep out of debt and owe no man anything." Now I don't know about you but this clearly states we should not have debt. Deuteronomy 28:12-13 say the same thing. "And you shall lend to many nations, but you SHALL NOT borrow. And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only and not be beneath." After listening to this truth the past few weeks I am more than grateful that the Lord allowed me to hear the Truth before I heard this. I would encourage you to go read Deuteronomy 28:1-14. It is the promise of The Blessing. You can't just read it and go about your life. You must speak the what the Words says. It is yours to have. The Lord became the curse and died on the cross so that we may have the Blessing. John 10:10 says "He came that we may have life and that we may have it more abundantly." These words are words of Life. It is the ultimate plan and will of God for our lives.
So back to the crossroads that I feel that I am in. I feel that it is time to move on from the job I am in but I don't know where I would go or what I would be doing. I want to tell everyone the Truth I have learned. In my mind it seems like something I can't do. Little quiet me. You know what is spectacular about that though. God can use me to do anything! Praise Jesus! I can preach if He wants me to because all things are possible in Christ (The Anointed One and His Anointing) WHICH strengthens me! It says in Deuteronomy that He will bless me in all that I undertake. Now that is a Promise!!
One other thing that has been on my mind is should I continue with school or not. Part of me feels like more knowledge might distract from the Word. Can I not learn what I need to by studying the Word daily? Part of me thinks it would be good to learn more. Right now the only way I could see continuing is if I could do more than two classes at a time. I am going to continue to pray and seek His will in this area. I am ready and willing to go and do whatever He wants.
I really enjoy having your feedback on this subject of words and debt. I would love to hear your stories about what God is doing in your life. It encourages me to hear what God is doing in other peoples lives. Thanks for reading,
Dallas
