Our lives brothers and sisters is far from easy! Day after day we behold the reality of both the world as it is and our self as we are. For many of us we do know God's Word.( 1 Cor 10:13) We know what we wish to confess to our selfs,and we really wish to believe!!( mark 9:23-24) What got in my way was what many do not wish to see in there reality,and that is the making of excuses!

I had a ton of them myself so I know just how easy it can be to make them!! And so it was upon my 3rd year in the Lord, that Holy Spirit spoke unto me these words( 1 Sam 16:7) I responded as David did!! LOL ( 1 Sam 17:28-29) verse 29!! It is not the question you need to search for my son, Holy Spirit said, but rather the answer which lies where I myself always find you,your heart!

Begin your true search there!! I looked into the mirror,I mean really looked this time! I went into prayer as so many do when they have been hit by a full dose of truth,and stayed silent,considering in my mind, my heart.) Jer 17:9 came in my mindset,then Holy Spirit said do not stop at that verse but read on from there.( Jer 17:10-11)

Then Holy Spirit set this in my mind set.( Matt 7:19-24) As this talks about money,as value so it can be considered for ones own life of value or loss. And where ones heart is, comes from the belief in one's own mindset! For the heart cannot think,it follows the belief of the mind of every believer.

And so to renew ones mind( Rom 12:1-2) renews ones own heart! It is a matter of choice for all of us! It is a matter of understanding( Eph 3:17-21) Being rooted and grounded can only be done by leaving excuses behind, and like Paul pressing forward toward the very goal for the prize of the UPWARD CALL of God in Jesus Christ!!( Phil 3:12-14) To truly look to help others, as any believer in Christ Jesus wants to do,one must first help themselves!

See your heart,make those changes to your mindset,and live as Jesus himself lives!! In PEACE with oneself and with others!!( Phil 4:7-9!!!) And so brothers and sisters because I am not a trusting soul, I tested this out, ( 1 John 4:1) I gave it 3 whole months, and said to myself if this truth I believe is from the Lord, then I will see a change both in my mind and through my very heart!

I did brothers and sisters!! I know that one so hard headed as myself can drop excuses in there life I sure know you can as well!! It is not required for Jesus to do anymore for us!!! He has done everything he ever is going to do for us!!( 2 Peter 1:3-11) Bible= Biblical Instruction before Leaving earth!

In a dream several days after I received this wisdom,I was before the very throne of God,and a voice which appeared from the throne said "what is your excuse??"( Rom 1:20) I have none dear Lord Jesus I replied. "Indeed my crown of both life and love lies upon those who love me( James 1;12) Do you love me mark??" Yes Lord you know I do I stated,"then like my son Peter feed my sheep,and you can only feed my sheep when you yourself have been made full of my truth which lies in my very WORD!

And ACT upon that very truth which now lies in your Heart!!( James 1:22) For indeed the entrance into my Kingdom lies in the practice of living the truth not just a head full of knowledge about my truth!"( 1 Peter 1:10-11) Therefore my brothers and sister I look to remind myself as well as all of you about these things! Please now read (2Peter 1:12-21!!)

Finally as the bell ringer for our Lord Jesus I have done as instructed,I have followed his Word, and I have kept the faith! GO and DO likewise!!( rom 13:11-14) I am far from perfect,but I am closer to God's throne now then I have ever been before!! You can be to!! BE ENCOURGED!!!! BE LIKEMINDED!! ACT NOW! It is not easy,if it were then everyone would do it,but my fellow saints it is right and very good for us! I leave you all with this Word.( Jude 1:17-25!!!) God bless you all!
