Touched ... But not Changed...Is that your life ?

Have you been touched by God in some way, but not changed. Is the word of God changing you?Have you been emotional, but with no devotion behind it?.Have you known something, but are not walking in it ?  We can all relate to this, but at some point change must be evident, the word will transform us. God doesn't come naturally to us, He is a supernatural God. He knows if we can accept it by the senses , it will not be by Faith ! We are to be Spiritual minded, the natural man doesn't understand the things of the Spirit, you will not know when they show up, or be expecting them.

Don't let the distractions of this world take you away, be led of the Spirit. We can change the atmosphere when we walk into a room. In the book of John 5: their was a man who was paralyzed who laid with others who were disabled, lame, blind. This man was this way for thirty eight years, and Jesus asked him "Do you want to get well"? I read that and wondered why ask this particular man when their were all the others as well. Well this man had an excuse as to why it wasn't happening for him.He didn't respond right to Jesus, he was caught up with what was happening around him. So Jesus was giving him the opportunity right their to change his life, GET UP! PICK UP YOUR MAT AND WALK!  At once this mans life changed , he allowed the touch of God to change him. He allowed those words Jesus said to change him, to impact him and do something about it! Now if you read on Jesus met up with this man later on and said now that you have been made well , stop sinning or something worse may happen to you. It was a word of wisdom from the Master Himself how to stay in the Spirit and see success. This applies to every generation, see yourself on the inside first whole and healed, and with no excuses why its not working, and take up your mat and be made whole! He loves us and has so much for us!

We must get our eyes off of man and onto God. I believe for miracles signs and wonders to happen for us we must be changed in our thinking. A renewed mind meditating on His word day and night will bring you out of sickness, disease, lack of any kind . God is always waiting on us, not us waiting on God!  This is our Prayer Lord God!

Eph 1:17  [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,

Eph 1:18  By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),

Keep Hope Alive !!

We hear a lot about faith, faith to do this, or believe for this, but do you know that HOPE is a partner to FAITH? This is a powerful team together, and it must work together, to get right results!

Rom 15:13  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

This is a Powerful scripture , Its saying, this God who is our Hope( expectation), our source, may He give you Joy, and Peace in the midst of tribulation that comes our way ! This is not HOPE as the world sees it, or its not a natural Hope, " wishful thinking" its supernatural Hope, biblical HOPE! 

Faith can't work alone, Hope must be their as well to not give up!  Their have been many faith people who have been shipwrecked because Hope wasn't their along side them.We must be abounding in Hope, keep it alive. It is flowing in the future, knowing you will see it, while your in the present, supernatural hope !

While we are waiting on our God of hope in the midst of trails, we can be filled with Joy and Peace. Many times some loose faith and give up in the wait. Its because we don't know how to wait. HOPE is our anchor to hold onto FAITH, to receive our manifested answers!

Faith is invisible, So Hope holds your hand in the process. We must let hope do its work and not allow discouragement, keep hope alive, or faith will die. HOPE cause you to see it! HOPE, Biblical hope, is a confidence from God about future issues , its a sure word form God!

1Jn 5:14  And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

1Jn 5:15  And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

So when all the questions the devil throws your way like, how long has this sickness, disease been staying  on your body, how long have you been giving and still no breakthrough. That's when you should lie down in the supernatural Hope and say my GOD  is not a GOD that should lie, He will come through! HOPE keeps the answer in our vision alive!

HOPE helps your FAITH locate where its going! Heb 11:1  Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Look at Abraham and Sarah lives, Abraham can't produce children, he is now old, way past the time of one wanting even to think about children. Then theirs Sarah she was always barren, and now old !

This is a wonderful story of them of HOPE, LOVE AND GODS GRACE. The word says that against all HOPE, Abraham in hope believed what God said would happen. So in essence Abraham believed against natural Hope, and believed in Biblical Hope that He would become the father of many nations, like us today!! His faith rode piggy back on Hope, your not going to be fully persuaded just on faith- no its Hope that will carry you to the end, biblical hope!

Rom 4:18  In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, "So shall your offspring be."

Rom 4:19  He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

God gives us Joy and Peace while your waiting. Faith and Hope are a team, hope removes disappointment, its knowing that Hope works in Gods timing. So keep Hope alive or faith will die, Hope in our God, our faithful God will bring it to pass!
