When you can’t trust God, it means you're not obeying Him! Faith is imparted by God Himself. So if you have no faith to trust, then the question is why has He not given me the faith to trust Him? Why do I not have the Grace to run this race?
God gives freely, but maybe He’s not giving to you freely because you are not giving yourself freely. Maybe you want things your way. If that’s the case, then YOU’RE THE ONE deciding not to receive faith, grace, and ability from God!
We can say all day, "Oh, God, help me this, help me that." Though it doesn't matter what your lips are saying. You are denying Him and saying no by your works! By saying yes to your way, you're saying NO to everything God has for you. Then you want God to give you the Kingdom when you're going on your own path, but He won’t!
Your path is the path of destruction, and if He gives to you on that path, He will be advocating for your destruction!
God, why can’t I trust you deep down?
Well, you are doing your own thing, going your own way. When you do things by My blueprint, you will be able to live fearless and trusting. I didn’t give you the spirit of fear. You gave it to yourself!
But, God, I don’t want fear, I want you! Yes, but you're not telling me that you want by the intentions and by where you're putting your own understanding! You still want this way and that way. Therefore, I will take my hand off and let you do what you want. God is gentle. He’s not going to force you to do it His way. You have a free will to choose.
Don’t come complaining to God that you struggle with that and this; meanwhile, you don’t want to follow Him! Don’t cry to Him when you can’t receive Him when He cries to you! It’s an even exchange! God is not a sugar daddy!
You struggle with fear, lack of faith, and worry. It’s your own fault! Because you are standing on the sand, and He told you to stand on the Rock!
Many just want God to automatically give them power, ability, and grace. Though God is saying to go this way, go that way, say this, say that, do this, do that, AND THEN grace will be there! Then you will have faith. Then you will be able to trust me without wavering because I will actually be there when you do my will. And when you do my will and you feel me and hear me there, you will know that I am with you and you will be able to trust me automatically! You can see me in your life. And if you see me with the eyes of your heart in your life, you will trust me with your life.
If you can’t see me, feel me, or hear me, how will you be able to trust me?
Though the only way you can be where I am is by doing what I am doing.
You don’t sense Him with you? Well, He’s not.
You have to go back, prodigal! Stop pretending to be His kid and really become His kid. There you go trying to save prodigals on the street. Little do you know, you're a prodigal yourself. You're doing all this ministry work, saying all this spiritual stuff and truth, singing to me, praising me. Though you don’t even have a real intimacy with me, you talk about intimacy with me all the time and have a version of it in your own mind. Though you're living in a pretend world, because it’s not happening in your spirit.
Leave the land of Nod now! And come home! Where the truth is, is where I am!
Come home, prodigal, because you know you lack Him when all you do is to struggle with fear, doubt, and worry! I didn’t give you those things, and if I didn’t give it to you, some other spirit did!
Come home, prodigal! And I will set you like a city set on a hill! And you won’t need that pill of religion anymore, because I will fill you with oil! I am the merchant of oil! Come buy oil by coming to Me! You will be filled! If you're not filled, it’s because you're not with me! You're going back on your own again!
No more pretending, no more playing church, no more trying to fight fear and lack of faith! No more trying to stand but unstable all the time. Stability is in my way!
It’s time to return to my words and eat the real meat. It’s time to live in the land that you know not of, the promised land of my leading. And you don’t love that place, because you never explored that place because you didn’t continue to follow. It may have been dark going my way, but there was light with you the whole time. You didn’t get to the hilltop because you didn’t go through the valley with me. Even Jesus had to go through the wilderness led by the Spirit before He turned the world upside down. What makes you any different? The wilderness is the hidden blessing!
Come and follow me now, again! And we may go through the wilderness again, but I will heal you, restore you, and you will walk in boldness through it all! And that will be the place you learn to walk, be, and live like my son!
Come home, prodigal. Put down the Bible, put down the mic, put down the instrument, put down your own sword, and enter into the glory. I will give you a new sword, a new name, and I will lift you up. Go my way and you won’t have to take the highway, and we will fly away, together forever!
