Hosea 2:14 "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her.
Many times people who love the Lord fall away for one reason or another then at his time he calls them into the wilderness. Many people find God's call for their life in this wilderness of surrender. It is when we come to ourself and know we can do nothing on our own that the Lord comes and will say now you are ready. Many times the person will say who am I that I should go? Then the Lord will softly say, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Now Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for I the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

Ephesians 6:13
Put on the whole armor, and when done all "STAND."
It's important to talk to the Lord, whoever, some talk straight to God, through our redemption through Jesus, some talk to Jesus, some talk to the Holy spirit. But it is good to talk to the Lord. God wanted to talk with Adam, and he called him, Adam where are you. Sometimes we all get discouraging moments, and just don't know what else to do. The holy spirit talked back to me about something I was saying to the Lord personally how I felt. He said, Stand. When weve done all, then stand. The word stand stood out for me, the word dosn't say, lay down and die, or fall down, it said stand, your ground, your place, or your position.

[h=3]Lamentations 3:57-58[/h]You came near when I called you, and you said, "Do not fear."O Lord, you took up my case; you redeemed my life.
Luke 1:26) And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 .) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 .) And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 .) And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 .) And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 .) And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 .) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 .) And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Some thoughts to ponder from Scripture........
James 1:19-20) Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
[how often do I think of this verse, yet how often I forget to live it........]
Philippians 4:8-9) Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
[how much more peace would we know if we were able to live this daily?]
Proverbs 15:1) A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
[oh that I were not such a failure in this]
that God will strengthen me, and keep my feet on His path..............

Psalms 86:1 .) Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 .) Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 .) Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4 .) Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 .) For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

1 John 5:9
We believe men who witness in our courts, and so surely we can believe whatever God declares. God delares that Jesus is his Son. All who believe this know in their hearts that it is true. If anyone doesn't believe this, he is actually calling God a liar, because he doesn't believe what God has siad about his son. And what is it that God has said? That he has given us eernal life, and that this life is in his Son. So whoever has God's Son has life.
whoever does not have his Son, does not have life.
I know there are those who are not saved reading forums here. Those who have not believed upon Jesus, are missing out of eternal life. As the angel lead the disobedient out of Eden, those who deny Jesus as Lord will not enter heaven, for there is no other way but through Jesus. This is scripture. "No man cometh unto the father but through me." scripture verse.

JAMES 5:13
Is any one troubled, let him pray, is any one merry, let him sing.
There is much much tremendous Joy with Jesus. It was so true, when the angle declared in the heavens, behold, I bring you Glad tidings. Jesus truly is the real wine of life. Ukraininas sing, we get drunk on life, we don't need wine.
Miriam, Moses's sister sang and danced, David danced, rejoicing in the Lord, for his creation, could be a dance, thanking him, for the little birds that fill our yards, and sing, a melody, only God could of written in their hearts.

Psalm 103:14
For he knoweth our frame that we are dust.
Have you ever heard someone say were perfect. That's not true. The only thing perfect within us, is God's perfect Love, for perfected Love casts out fear.
All our rightousness is as filty rags. So much to say we are perfect. The Devil thought he was perfect, without a flaw, and there was nothing else to learn, or bow down to, to worship. What a lie, it continued and deceives many today, the self righteousness of self love. There will be no love towards others, when someone thinks they are perfect. There was no love towards a HOly God. It is when we are able to love others, because we went through pain, suffering, to know how another feels, because we went through that , that is how God made us, after his image, as Jesus knew pain, he is a high Priest, that is not dissociated from our feelings. If we were perfect, it would be a mindset of pride, a hardened heart, unfeeling, and untouchable. We are but the dust of the earth. Just as a storm would arrive, the winds and rains, could devastate man's character, if only Jesus wasn't there, there would be no hope. There is nothing perfect about our fleshly nature. Though the spirit is willing , the flesh is weak. We sin, are impatient, etc. It is the power of God within us, the Holy Spirit that has been given to us, that helps us. This is not a Christ mindset, there are psychiatric names given to those who think they are. This was the trick satan used against Eve, to put thoughts of arrogance that what ever she will do, she is perfected, because God's glory was with her, but that pride filled her mouth, with unrightousness, after it filled her mind, and so it went on to Adam. TAke eat. Disobedience is rebellion, and rebellion, is pride you just don''t want to bow down to the authority. Stay clear of those who give you a eye of perfection upon yourself. We are but human flesh, with all it's temptations, and weakness this is the attitutde of the world, I can do it. Wronge, bingo, I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me, therefore saying we are NOT perfect. If we were so perfect than we would not associate with anyone who we could not look up to, because we would need to look down upon the lowly, unlovely, and the least of these, when we really need to look up only to God, and not to man. There is no love in pride thinking better of yourself than another, the Lord said, esteem one another better than yourself, and build one another up, in your most holy faith. We love each other because we are brothers, and sisters spiritually, to the Father, through his Son. God is no respecter of persons.

WE are not perfect. It is the very fact that Jesus, said, forgive 70 times 7, or just don't count people's faults. What a wonderfull thought, a loving Father, where we will never be as great as him, and at each fall, he helps us up, as we grow in his Love, always, striving, always learning, always yearning, to be close to the Father, but never perfect, Jesus said, look not on other's faults. For he knoweth our frame, that we are dust. Strenghtened only in him.

{Jeremiah 17:5}
The Lord says
Cursed is the man who puts his trust in mortal man, and turns his heart away from God.
He is like a stunted shrub in the desert, with no hope for the future, he lives on the salt encrusted plains in the barren wilderness, good times pass him by forever.
But blessed is the man who trust"s in the Lord, and has made the Lord his hope and confidence.
It is easy to make someone an idol. Titles, lables, business cards, office plaques, all say something. {{Authority.}}
Though we are to respect those over us, this is in the bible, we are not to put any thing, or person, in front, as the Lord Jesus is the only Shepard, to follow.

{John 8:7}
They gathered stones to cast, Jesus said, if any among you has no sin, cast the first stone.
It is very true, the ability to express what we feel with our words. Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
Why then speak death unto thyself, speak well of others, or say nothing at all, as your words are seeds
that come back upon you.
