Love is the Key

It has been about two or so years since Tracy and I started Kingdom Vizion Ministries, sending out Word of the Day messages. During this time God has built both of us up in wisdom and maturity. Many of the messages that we send out are messages that can be a little hard to read and ones that may even convict your spirit. The greatest lesson that I am learning is that the message is not meant to tear you down but to build you up.

My job is first and foremost not to tell you things you ought to do and not do them myself, as we progress in ministry and move closer and closer to one day establishing a brick and mortar church this is something that has to always be the case. When we write we write from a stand point of love and not disappointment. It can often be disheartening to see the potential but not yet see the fruit, but love is the standpoint we take. Today we want to let everyone who is reading this know that we love each and every one of you.

The last thing we want you to do is beat yourself up because you think that you are not perfect enough for God and that you are unworthy to be sent by Him. You are already perfect in Gods sight. Is everything we do always right on track, probably not. God cares more about your heart than your works, if your heart is pure than the rest will line up. Living by the Word of God is impossible out of your own strength and intelligence; it takes the working of the Holy Spirit to be able to carry out what He has established for you. So if you are out there beating yourself up because you try and try and try and always seem to come up empty handing, I say to you stop trying and just start walking.

There are many of you out there that are experiencing situations in your lives that are out of your control. I know I always talk about people putting themselves in their own mess but there are some out there that have been put in a mess that they did not create. You see what you want to do and it’s just not happening, you want a better life and it seems that it’s just not coming; you want to be healed of whatever it is afflicting your body and it seems to only be getting worse. For those of you that may be experiencing something like this, I say to you just keep praising God. For your breakthrough is coming, sometimes when a situation is at its worse that means the end of that thing is near.

Don’t lose faith, don’t grow weary, He is right there in the midst with you. Just like when the three Hebrew boys were thrown in the fiery furnace. God was right there in the midst of fire with them and they came out unbound and free because of their faith and confidence in God and what they knew was true. We often times think that God will rescue us from the fire and in some cases that is true. In other cases He will lead you through the fire because one thing that the fire does is purify you. You saw when the Hebrew boys were put into the fire their hands were bound and when they came out they were no longer bound. God did not leave them, He did not stop loving them, He led them through.

So I tell you just keep praising, keep believing, and keep strong in the faith. I was listening to a song today by casting crowns and every time I listen to this song I am moved so much because the song just radiates God’s love in the times we need it the most.
