Are you flowing or is your pipe line backed up !

We love loving what's easy, we love loving what's convenient, we forget love when things become uncomfortable! So ask yourself, am I flowing like this river or are the pipe lines backed up !

 In this age of Grace, God say's Love your enemies. Matthew 5:44- BUT I TELL YOU; LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU, THAT YOU MAY BE SONS OF YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. 

That is a scripture we all have heard, it may not be our favorite one at certain times in our walk. Lets face it when you have had some one offend you, or hurt, or betray you,  we don't just automatically say that verse! For many of us the first reaction is you want to have a fit of carnality! I know I did at times in my walk with the Lord, but by His amazing Grace I have learned to resort to  His way! There is something so much greater than the hurt, the betrayal. When we let what other's have done to us, we stop that flow of His love.It's then when  His Grace and that pipe line is backed up! When someone can cause you to stay in that offense then your emotions get in charge, and hurt people want to hurt people! Its your Spirit that has to be in charge, we have no right to sit back and say who we can't forgive, when it was Grace that hung on that cross. It was Grace that went to the depths of hell for us, forgave all our trespasses, then we can forgive, and should forgive those who hurt us! 

Many year's ago I was betrayed by someone who was very close to me. The pain was so deep and so raw,  I had never experience anything like it. It is His Grace that I am here today! The first step I remember was to forgive, not right at that moment, but shortly there after, I did say "Father I choose to forgive". I do remember so strongly the  moment I said those words, it was like warm oil being poured down me! His Love just embraced me so strongly, like I never experienced before. I know by me choosing to forgive, the flow of His Love and Grace didn't let that pipe line get backed up. I knew the only way for me to be able to go on and be the person God had paid the price for me was to be obedient to his word. We will always have a choice, even if your flesh, your emotions are there not there yet,. tell the Father, I'm willing to be willing to do it your way do it by faith!!If we waited for our emotions to be there it would never happen, emotions are a gift from God, but they are not there to lead us, we are to be lead of the Spirit!

Being rooted and  grounded in Love, and being Love of God minded its in us as a born again child of God! We need to draw it out, know what His word says about Love.When those scriptures on love become revelation to us  then the only way to go forward, and not stop the flow, it's putting them into practice with His Grace! GALATIANS 5:6- THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IS FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE.  I have discovered that my own natural abilities are not enough to win in this world! Its only by His Grace to be more than a conquer, Faith in that Grace! If we want to see our prayers answered and heard, we must endeavor to walk this way. It has to be a conviction in our heart, why waste time thinking we can fool anyone let alone God our creator. I told myself that along time ago, I said if I want to see myself prospering in anything I have to let this be something I put in the forefront ( the leading or most important position or place) of my walk!! There was, and still are many opportunities for me to get offended. The first step like I said, its a choice, and if you  know there is no other way, and when you  love the Lord with all your heart and all your strength then He can do the rest!


I conclude with this. When things look like a mountain , and you say to yourself, how can I ever get through this! How could I every forgive that person for how they treated me, what they did to me.Then stop and think about what Jesus did for us, for you. He forgave us and paid that price when we didn't deserve it. He loved us first! We can choose life, and we can choose to stay on the God side of life and get beyond surviving and start living all areas Victorious!! I know its possible, when I look back and see where he has brought me, and all the things he restored in my life he is so good and so faithful!! Whatever is missing or broken - heaven has a new supply of it, and its accessed through faith in JESUS !
