But I don't want to change it?
I know that what God wants is whats going to happen and any struggling on my part is just extra pain. . . . .But I've had a plan. a vision for my life. for a long time now. and suddenly its all coming to a halt because of one tiny struggle that i just can't seeem to get over no matter how much i try to hop it!
So I'm thinking. . . .maybe God wants me to totally go a different direction wit my life. . . . . .does that mean I drop all me plans and just go with it? Won't have much of a choice in a few months though. either my plan is going to work out or I'm gonna have to go soul searching for what God wants me to do. ^_^.
Pray for Guidance for me. I'm really struggling in quick sand right now.
I dont know what you are struggling with, but I can tell you need to be sure you are walking the cricified life, and IN the will of God. hope this helps: You are in my prayers:
What are the desires of your heart?
First and foremost this must be our greatest desire:
Luk 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted Him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luk 10:26 He said to him, what is written in the Law? How do you read it?
Luk 10:27 And answering, he said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.
Luk 10:28 And He said to him, you have answered right; do this and you shall live.
This will cancel out the easy do nothing gospel, being sold as truth today!
Now to love Jesus with all our heart, soul and strength, isn’t a passive love, where you just do nothing sit back, and think Jesus is your cloak or covering, or became your righteousness!
Mat 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
Jesus made it perfectly clear who His sheep were and who HIs goats were, and His sheep were the ones who did as He commanded.
Luk 13:3 I tell you, No. But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
He made it clear, He came to set mankind free from the bondage's of sin, NOT in them, because IF you truly love the Lord your God, and are seeking His kingdom and righteousness, you will soon learn it’s much different than what is being preached in all the popular saved IN sin churches.
Joh 14:15 If you love Me, keep My commandments.
Joh 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
Joh 15:11 I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full.
The joy of the Lord comes from obeying Him, in all areas of your life, where you are actually set free from the bondage's of sin and worldliness, and walking the crucified life in reality, where Jesus is your strength, and your greatest desire is to please Him, deny self, and follow Him on the narrow path that few will find!
Luk 13:23 And one said to Him, Lord, are the ones being saved few? And He said to them,
Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the narrow gate. For I say to you, many will seek to enter in and shall not be able.
So the desires of one, who is truly converted to Christ, will be to do what Jesus said to do, repent, and obey from your heart all He has commanded us to do!
So if you love the Lord, then you will also love His truth, and be totally appalled at all the false ways being taught today, that teach we are born sinners, and Jesus is the cure, and covering, because we cannot possible obey Him, and if we ever try, then grace is canceled out.
Then under this false premise, when Jesus said to:
Go and sin no more!
Repent or perish!
Strive and agonize to enter!
Be perfect even as my father in heaven is perfect! ((Heart purity)
Endure to the end!
Hold fast!
Count the high cost of following Him!
If you love me you will obey me!
Follow my example to the end!
To be righteous is doing what is right!
Keep your lamp stand full!
Defend and contend earnestly for the faith!
Repent and do your first works if you are still IN sin!
Makes all these commands a choice, not a command to do or perish!
Jesus came to set the captives free, but He didn't become sin, so we could enter the kingdom still double minded, and IN sins, because you’re false teacher told you He is your provision, and any obedient faith of Abraham is earning your way into heaven!
So set your mind and heart on things above, come out from among her, repent and crucify your flesh once and for all to receive the mercy of God, as the city of Nineveh did, and follow the true gospel according to godliness, where the crucified life is the abundant life In Christ, as we touch His blood in repentance, cleansing our dead conscience of sin, then serving the living God, in all humility, power, and grace, which tells us to deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts and passions. Do not trust He did it for you in some magical transformation that never occurred!

If you love Him, you will obey Him, and follow His commands, it’s that simple!
1Jn 2:3 And by this we know that we have known Him, if we keep His commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He who says, I have known Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoever keeps His Word, truly in this one the love of God is perfected. By this we know that we are in Him.
1Jn 2:6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked.
