"For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from this body and to live with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away from home, our goal is to be pleasing to him."
2 Corinthians 5:7-9
I really feel strongly about this year ahead of us. I haven't been this fired up about a sense of a great move of God in awhile, but I have also learned a lot over the past couple years. I have found that if God has given you a burden for something, you have a responsibility to be faithful to see it through even when the natural doesn't seem to show it. He gives us a responsibility to believe that the supernatural things are being put in place and the natural will follow suit in His timing.
We live by faith or a trust in God and His plans and not by sight or how things feel, look, or sound like. That's tougher than it sounds sometimes because we are so driven by the 5 natural senses we experience everyday! But he has given us a 6th sense by the discernment of His Spirit living in us and we have to trust in Him, His word, and His Spirit.
When we live in this way, we please God! This scripture speaks of this life style and also,
"Now faith is the assurance that what we hope for will come about and the certainty that what we cannot see exists......Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him."
Hebrews 11:1,6
So I will continue to live by the faith and trust that God has given a word that we will experience His Holy Spirit Fire and be compelled into His mission like never before! Our desire is to please Him, so let's walk by faith and let nothing stop us from seeking His fire for our lives everyday!!
"Father fill us with a supernatural faith to please you and see your fire come! Send the Fire and consume us!"
