From Brokenness To Blessing
Therefore this iniquity and guilt will be to you like a broken section of a high wall, bulging out and ready [at some distant day] to fall, whose crash will [then] come suddenly and swiftly in an instant.
(Isaiah 30:13)
When you and I make our own plans or run to other people instead of trusting in the Lord, we leave a weak spot in our wall of divine protection. At a time when we least expect it, the enemy will break through that weak spot. When that happens, we will indeed be like the "broken section of a high wall" mentioned in Isaiah 30:13.
God does not want us to have weak spots in our lives. He wants us to rely on Him and be obedient to Him so our "walls" will remain strong and thick and our lives will be blessed and full.
The more we depend on Bod, the more He can do through us. But sometimes we go through brokenness before we enter His blessings.
Once for about a year and a half, I thought I might be going mad. All day long I walked around in my house, praying, "Help me, Lord!" I did not even know what kind of help I needed, or why I needed it. Now as I look back on that experience, I know what was happening. God was breaking off my spirit of independence, and He was bringing me to the point where I knew I could do nothing apart from Him.
I remember one night as I was getting ready to go to sleep, I picked up a little book and started reading it. Suddenly I had a visitation from God. For about forty-five minutes I sat there on the edge of my bed and wept. Finally, the Lord spoke to me and said, "Anything good you do has nothing to do with you. I am the One Who is good. When you see yourself doing anything good, it is only because I have wrestled with you to get your flesh under subjection long enough to allow My glory to shine through it."
Sometimes before od can promote us, He has to remind us of our place, In my own case, my ministry was just about to experience a sudden growth spurt. God was preparing me in advance by telling me, "I'm going to do something marvelous in your life and ministry, and when it happens you must remember that it is I and not you who is bringing it to pass."
God was teaching me what He is teaching all of us today; He is the answer to all of our problems.

Is God Angry?
Hello there, this is my girl Joyce Meyer. She is a amazing teacher of the Word of God. I listen to her all the time. God speaks through her wonderfully. God spoke through her to me one early morning 8 years ago. He voice woke me up out of my sleep, because I had fell a sleep one night and did not turn off my TV. When God woke me up out of my sleep that morning 8 years ago, He touched my heart through Joyce Meyer's voice, and the rest is history. I gave me heart, mind, and soul over to God and I have not turned back sense. I am in with God to win it, I am going all the way with God. He is the Love of my life and He can be the Love of your life to if He is not already. I put God first in everything I think, say, and do. And so should you, and your life will become better and better in every way because you have involved God entirety and completely in your whole life. Do not do anything with out God involved. And please (STAY IN THE WORD OF GOD). Get your Bible and read the Word of God everyday to feed your soul. Do Not Give Up on GOD. He Love YOU!!!!
Please just take some time for yourself and send some time listing to the excellent Word of God. God and His Word will give you light in a dark place. And always remember God love you very much. And He just wants us all to love Him back.
May God bless you in all you do and everywhere you go.
Also I welcome you to follow my Positive Words Blog any time you are ready.

Enjoying God's Love
And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him.
(1 John 4:16)
Enjoying God's Love
The Bible says many times that God loves us. But how many of God's children still lack revelation concerning God's love? The truth is, very few of God's people really know how much He loves them. If they did, they would act differently.
Many years ago, I began studying how people can learn to receive God's love, and I realized that I was in desperate need of it myself. The Lord led me in my study to 1 John 4:16 and emphasized the importance of being conscious of His love. This means God's love should be something we are actively aware of. But how does one find this awareness?
I studied this subject for a long time, and I became conscious of God's love for me through thinking about His love and by confessing it alond. I learned scriptures about the love of God, and I meditated on them and confessed them out of my mouth. I did this over and over for months, and all the time the revelation of His unconditional love for me was becoming more and more of a reality to me.
Now, His love is so real to me that even in hard times, I am comforted by the "conscious knowing" that He loves me and that I no longer have to live in fear. This can happen to you, too.
I encourage you to know and believe His love for you. Meditate on and speak about God's love that He expresses to you in His love letters-the Scriptures. Why not start with 1 John 4:16.

The Book of Daniel in the Bible
Author: Daniel
Date: Late sixth century BC
Everyday Life Principles
Like Daniel, we must determine in our hearts that we will not defile ourselves, but that we will stay faithful to the Lord.
An excellent spirit is one of the be character qualities a person can have.
We must refuse to compromise or to allow the world's influence to cause us to turn from God.
Daniel is one of several biblical books that teach their lessons through a person's life. Two of the great lessons we learn from Daniel are excellence and courage.
Daniel 5:12 and Daniel 6:3 both tell us that Daniel had "an excellent spirit." Throughout the book of Daniel, we see him making excellent choices, and we read that he did things in an excellent way. But his choices and his actions were "fruits," not roots. The fruit of excellent decisions and behavior was rooted in his excellent spirit. As believers, you and I have God's Spirit living in us and we, like Daniel, can live with excellence because God is an excellent God!
Daniel also teaches us about courage. He was willing to suffer and even die for his beliefs. His courageous refusal to compromise landed him in a den of hungry lions, but God delivered him! Daniel ended up in a high government position; and the king of Babylon forsook his old ways, turned to God, and required his subjects to believe in God as well.
As you read the book of Daniel, I pray that you will be inpired to reach for higher levels of excellence in everything you do and taht your couage will be stirred. As we learn from Daniel, one uncompromising and brave person can change a nation!

God's Word
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.
(Revelation 3:20)
Revelation 3:20 teaches us that Jesus knocks at the door of many hearts right now, but we must remember that the doorknob is on our side. He is a gentleman; He will not force His way into our lives. We must welcome Him.

The Word of God
So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God.
(1 Corinthians 10:31)
Lift Point:
Real joy comes from being an empty vessel for God's use and glory, letting Him choose where He take you, what He does with you, when He is does it- and not arguing about it. Be willing to do everything for the honor and glory of God, as 1 Corinthians 10:31 instruct, and you will have great contentment and joy in your life.
