WHAT HE HAS SHOWN ME....MAKE IT THE LORD'S.

 A prophet living in perilous times. His name was Ezekiel. He was one of three prophets that were also Priest. Unlike Jeremiah who was chosen from his mothers womb, Ezekiel was called by God at the age of 30. He lived in Babylon not by choice but as a captive. Judah a tribe of Israel was being judged for their sin. Ezekiel was called of God to speak only the words that God himself placed in his mouth. He was to do it regardless of Judah's refusal to listen and obey.God made it clear to Ezekiel that his people would not heed the message. Ezekiel was not being sent to argue with the people, or try to impress them with his knowledge,wisdom or power. He was to just repeat what the Lord said to them. okay....what does this have to do with me? From my previous blog i said stay tuned in so i can let you know what the Lord tells me to do with my friends. He simply says repeat my words. Not my words but words from God's Holy writ. (Holy Bible) He reminds me that its not about me ,but Him(the lord).He also lets me know that it is not up to me to save anyone,or change peoples hearts. He calls whom He wishes. His Holy Spirit convicts who God chooses. I must be obedient to teach his words, and let Him reap the Harvest.Doing what God says to do regardless of the outcome is what i am task to do.What about you. In the business of preaching,numbers are all important. most of the time speaking to small crowds is discouraging,yet God may say its just fine.Wow. IF we cannot learn to lift each other up(edify) or learn to forgive,by seeing each other thru the eyes of Christ,then maybe God will not subject strangers to our lessons,sermons,or fellowships.We must learn through the the eyes of Jesus first. Take care of who is in front of us. Have REVIVAL within ourselves. Then God will bless,and grow us.....Maybe....if that is his will. Stop worrying about it. Just obey and let God grow the church as He sees fit. Make it the Lords battle. Read the book of Ezekiel and tell me obeying God is always easy. Its not. But the joy of knowing your right with God is overwhelming.God bless.
