THE BURSTING PLACE.

THE BURSTING PLACE.

Have you ever come across an area in your life where you see people, you  always have a perception they are better than you ?Then you realise they are just as freaky as you are its only that they dress differently and some  feel so holy and you feel so filthy and at that point you bring  judgement to yourself that they are better than you.You find yourself spending 50% of your life wishing God would make you like them and then you realise, they are not who you thought they were either.At That point you become mad, NOT because you were not like them BUT because they did not tell you who they really were:because if they did tell you who they were ,you would have felt better about yourself!To be in that position you are definately in a BURSTING PLACE.

Sometimes we go home to hell,Putting a plastic face..Smilling that all is well...You get your bible  and quote your scripture... Every sunday you give your offering faithfully...you sit down and outline your destiny and at the same time you even go home and find your husband is gone!Or one of your kid is in jail,or bad news that your mum is dead you become so confused and in this state of confusion you realise all is not well.All kind of things happen in The Bursting place..

When you read the story of  Naomi- she could not settle in Moab- because it was a place of incest , infidelity and barriers broken..It was a place where people  destroyed  boundaries therefore they (Ruth and Naomi)could not stay in Moab because  they were there for a season of grace.
There is always a voice telling you why you cannot get out and you must stay in this area and as long as you do not stay in this area you will have trouble -and as long as you live in the old skins you are are safe.But when you get exposed it becomes difficult to stay where you used to stay.

We have to keep preaching the word of God to expose people to the truth regardless of the season we are in and when we are exposed to the truth and deliverance we might go over there but weve got to believe that eventualy we will get out of our bursting place and go to where our destiny is.

 Naomi and Ruth suffered terrible misfortune: the men in their family, including both their husbands, died. Marooned in Moab, the older woman Naomi, decided to return to her home in Bethlehem. Ruth, though a Moabite herself,
 decided to go with her. She pledged her loyalty to Naomi and they set out on the long journey, arriving in time for the barley harvest and at that place in season was a place of destiny to Ruth

Each one of us in life gets to Moab a place for a season..Picture yourselves stuck in Moab and God comes to you  in that place and tells you am coming to get you..And that's how Jesus said in 2000 yrs ago on the cross.He looked from eternity down to the crazy times we have.Jesus looked from holiness to the filthiness's of men on the cross and told us-to hang in there he will be coming over to deliver us.

The biggest problem is most of us in the church are stuck at MOAB and we are in the state of a ''BURSTING PLACE'' with the new wines skins and old wine skins, the new you and the old you and the spiritual you and the Canal you stuck in the old place-In the attitude of'' I can't do this'I feel old to...Am not worthy of anything good.All sorts of negative voices speaking to you in the bursting place.Its just like when you are about to walk on stage to say something awesome and a voice tells you'' what are you doing ? and it keeps hammering words to you that you are out of your mind you don't even fit in what you are thinking about.?.Naomi coming out of Moab is God getting her out of the ''BURSTING PLACE''.

The bursting place is a place of conflict and every-time we start stepping into our destiny a voice tells you ''you can do it and another tells you- how dare you even think you can ever get out!!At the back of your mind there is a haunting fear due to maybe the mistakes we have made in the past or the age we are at or we didn't finish school or we were not loved properly..

Conclusion

The Lord Will deliver us at our Bursting place in his own time..And in all this coincidences God is in Control.One of the things I have found out in my own personal walk with the Lord is that many of the times, He will have a much slower way of working things than we ever thought He would.Again, God usually has a much slower time frame and a much slower way of working things out in our life than we do.

And if we do not learn how to adjust to His slower time frame and the slower way He likes to work things out in our life, we could easily get ourselves knocked right out of our calls and our divine destinies that He has set up for each one of our lives.

THE SECRET OF WALKING WITH GOD 

 

  Anything that affects our walk with God is imported.Our God wants us to walk with him and he is not interested in a Sunday relationship or a plastic religious face. All he wants is a daily walk with him.

Genesis 3:8''And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, God made us because he wanted a daily walk with him..

If we are not careful, we become so experience oriented that we become Relationship minimized-It becomes all about what happens on Sunday that we forget God wants a relationship with us and not mountain top experiences.

 Isaiah 40 says:but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles;they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint.Its wonderful when you sour. when you are in those seasons,you mounting up with eagles and are souring. Anyone likes to sour..And there are those seasons when you are running and people are cheering because people cheer runners, But nobody cheers walkers..Its not a big deal for the walkers..so they say!..We cheer runners and sours..No one cheers the walkers .God is not interested with what happened when you were souring he is concerned on your walk with him through Monday to Sunday...Everyday....Because when you walk with God it changes the condition of your heart

Nobody knows when you are walking with God because only God knows.

SATAN HATES WHEN YOU WALK WITH GOD....

He is not interested when you go to church on Sunday and u get high-on the sermon and you go high on a little season of feeling good..Satan hates to see you walk with God on a daily basis..The real deal is when he sees you put your feet after another walking with God day by day not giving on whatever comes our way.

Peter Jenkins wrote  a book in 1973 called a Walk Accross America and it became the best seller because he had unbelievable experience walking 5000 miles.He took five years to do it.He carried 70 pound bag pack.He walked through the heat of 120 degrees through the desert,he walked through the mountains, he was attacked by wild animals, he was stabbed one time, he was mugged five times, his dog was run over by a car, he was bitten by snakes everything went against him..and what was shocking during his interview he was asked -What was the greatest thing that made him come close to giving up and he shocked them by saying- ''SAND IN MY SHOES''!You would have expected him to say the attacks, the sun through the desert,or the car that run over his dog..and so on.He said he would get grains in his shoes and he would walk and the sand would grind his feet ..It wasn't the big thing it was the sand ..LESSON_..Its not the Big things that will stop us from walking with God..Its the little things that affect our walk with God..The little things like the little offences and the little situations that begin to grind and hinder our walk with God,,The depressions of life, the worries, the anxiety attacks that makes us loose sleep in the night!The little grains...The little sand those are the little things that hinder us from walking by Faith.

Psalms 42:10''As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”And people will mock you and ask you where is your God? and they reproach you daily where is you God?Where is the God you pray to heal you generation?.Its the little things that will never leave us they keep following us and they grind ..Many Christians  have sand in the shoes...

BUT Jesus says in Mathew 11:28'' Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest''....

Judges 16:16''And it came to pass, when she(Delilah) pressed him daily with her words, and urged him to sleep with him, [so] that his soul was vexed unto death; ... If it was a one time affair it would have been okey but she said to him daily daily sleep with me..You get the sand in your shoes and the enemy crashes you daily daily and keeps telling you -why dont you compromise? why dont you give in?....This is how the enemy gets to your nerves daily.

Its the burden of life the daily issues that weigh us down..The enemy wants to put sand in our spiritual shoes David in psalm 73:2 '' But as for me and my feet had almost gone''The scriptures says in Solomon 2:15 ''the little foxes, that spoil the vines''Not the wolves not the lions its the little things that make us loose our hunger with God....Fear,Anxieties,pressures of life,Worries and so on that make us loose our walk with the most high God.

NOTHING IS LITTLE IF IT AFFECTS OUR WALK WITH GOD.

The little things wear as down and in the point of weakness we do something Crazy.

Imagine running on the shore of the lake and the tide blows and feels your shoes with sand how difficult it is to get the sand of your shoes..By the time you are done washing one foot the other foot feels with sand.You cant even get it off becauses it gets in your shoes like Magnet BUT The good news is Jesus never designed for you to wash your own feet.He tells us to go to him and bring all the stuff and the fears and worries of life. Jesus stands with a basin and with water and asks you to bring it to him and he will wash your feet.

And Jesus says when hes done washing your feet he will bring people along the way who have been in your shoes and encourage them that you have been there and they should not quit neither give up and you have to keep walking by faith and such is the beauty of the body of Christ.

Have a burden of someone else to help them avoid the sand from building up and wash one onether.We will not give up God ,We will hope in the Lord..We walk by faith and not by Sight.

The Price of Annointing

Anointing Comes With A Price...

God gets glory in our lives by crashing the flesh and crashing the parts of us that we love the best . No one knows the cost of your own oil in your Alabaster box..Those that are chosen are those that go through brokenness in the face of God.And brokenness does not come from knowing the bible back and forth but it comes from seeking the face of God which means God is breaking us.The path to our personal transformation is often through the process of pain and you are not anointed until you go through pain.. Anointing is elevated through the pain u have gone through because your ''CHARACTER  OUTWEIGH YOUR ANOINTING""...,,,Gods Plan has a cycle and a rhythm that works according to his time and season..

There is a power that comes out of pain...

There is an anointing that comes out of pain there is riches that comes out of pain..Real anointing comes from Gethsemane's..People who have been greatly anointed have endured pain and God gets glory out of pain.....The joy in pain is we go through them we do not stay in them..We have to keep on going...''and ye i walk through the shadow of death i shall fear no evil''..The greatest revelation is to know that when on the other side of pain there is a king in us...Maybe its a king of a Ministry...A big destiny..........We need to get so caught up in where God is taking us, so we get the grace to escape where we came from..For the bible say ''without a vision the people perish''...I have got something to do with my life..I have to wrestle like Jacob until i know who I am.Because When God tells me who i really am, he gives me the grace to turn from what they say I am

God has Neva called a man from anything without calling him To something that was greater than what he was calling him away from....

.I have to let go of this- so that i can get hold of that which God wants me to have.I've Got a calling to chase and a vision to keep alive..Thank u Lord for showing me my worthiness.........Thank you ....No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up. God sees your resolve. He sees your determination. And when you do everything you can do, that’s when God will step in and do what you can’t do.” Lets Quit questioning God and choose to trust him.....the greater the struggle, the greater the reward.”

Remember.......

Our God is changer of seasons...When God was giving the noble responsibility to Joshua to be a leader he began by re-assuring him of his victory.And God wanted to be clear of one thing to Joshua..FEAR..Fear has stopped us from accessing the promised land and sing our victory songs..Fear destroys Great minds and makes many of us die with great dreams unfulfilled..Avoid being around negative and fearful people...If u clearly see your destiny and figure out how your life will be in the next 20yrs then you will stop paying attention to fearful people in your life....Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee wheresoever thou go est."Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.

A Prayer.......

Ooh Lord help me not fight a battle that is over..Ooh God help me update my file ..delete my history ..and step to the present.....I thank you for small progress BUT i want more...For my cup is meant to overflow....The Lord says am gonna do a new thing in you,for the former things are passed away.......What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him"-- —
