Walking with God

God, I understand that you didn't call me to walk with questions, you called me to walk with you.
I will always have questions, but you called me to trust you. Let faith be in the forefront.

Today, you told me that I am not walking in love. and that the messages you give me are completely for me. The message you gave me about love. That I am not loving like you.

Look at what is. Are you reflecting love? I called you to be set apart. Can anyone look at the way you love and see me?

No, they can't God. I am very selective as to who I show love to.

Love is not selective. The love I define is unconditional. You can't be ignoring people. Love isn't mean and judgmental. You really gotta work on that, J. Love is not puffed up. It does not vaunt itself. It does not seek its own. It's not out for itself. It sacrifices for others. Love is kind. Love is gentle. Love is overwhelming. A love like this you can only love through me.

Yes, Lord.

And another thing I told you on our walk today is that you are behind in where I called you to be by now..in terms of your relationship with Me, your strength in Me. You are not yet fully clothed in the full armor of God, which is completely necessary for the work I have anointed you to do. I need you to be able to stand in your ground against all kinds of demons and spirits of violence. But, you can't even stand against the spirits of laziness and procrastination. You have let them conquer you. What happened to calling out to me when you need help? You know that the Word of God is Your Sword against these evil ones. Use it!! Read it!! You need to spend hours in prayer, seeking me, reading My Word. We have a lot of work to do to get you prepared for the work ahead.

I will sleep at 10 p.m. I will wake at 5. I will begin training. Not that I have attained all this or have already been made perfect, but I will press on to take hold of that which Christ has taken hold of for me. I will beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

STRICT TRAINING is REQUIRED!!!!
24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

(from 1 Corinthians 9)

I must also think about what this means to my life: Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. (1 Cor 9:19) I know what it means. Am I ready?


Thank you God for these revelations. Today, I am walking with answers. Will I apply them to my life? I can do all things through Christ.

My Summaries of Psalms 1-11

Psalm 1:
God's blesses those who love and study His Word.
The one who does this is nourished and grows.
God watches over the path of these, the righteous
but those who disobey and disregard God's Word
are on a dead-end journey.

Psalm 2:
Jesus reigns whether we like it or not.

Psalm 3:
God answers my cry.
I will not fear.

Psalm 4:
God, hear me.
God hears us.
gives answers, light, joy,
safety and peace.
Trust in God.
I am safe in you, Lord.

Psalm 5:
I ask and wait.
I bow down.
You give favor, protection
and judgment.

Psalm 6:
Have mercy on me.
Heal me.
Let me live so I may praise you.
The Lord has answered.
Enemies, get back!

Psalm 7:
Lord, people are trying to kill me.
Stop the violence.
Violence will return to the violent.
Only let me die if I've threatened the peaceful.
Thank you, God, for being a righteous judge.

Psalm 8:
Lord, you are awesome
Calling the praise of babies to shut up the devil.
I marvel at your creation,
humbled by your concern for my life
and the responsibilities you've given me
to care for what you've created.
Lord, you are awesome!

Psalm 9:
God, I praise you.
You have destroyed my enemies.
This reigning righteous judge shelters
the oppressed.
Lord, keep me alive so I can praise you!
We know you are just.
Get up and put fear in those that forget you.

Psalm 10:
God, you seem so far away right now.
Greedy people with evil hearts and evil plans
take advantage of the weak and the down and out,
oppress the helpless.
God, punish them.
Please do not forget us.
I know you hear our pleas.
You see what's going on.
You encourage us and defend us.

Psalm 11:
Lovers of violence
war against the righteous
God sees and examines
from His holy heavenly throne.
The wicked will drown in fire.
The righteous will see his face.
