In The Throne Room of God!
I stay in the throne room of God a lot these days... in the sanctuary of my bedroom, God meets me here with much peace and comfort and reassurance of His goodness, power, mercy, and love. So many nights, for years now, I wake up in the wee hours of the morning and I know God is wanting to talk to me. I pray. I focus on Him. I trust Him completely. From the beginning (especially since March) God has told me this, "keep your focus completely on Me. When it starts to detour, I'll help you get it back on Me where it needs to be, if you harken your ear to Me and listen"! He's been faithful to do that over and over just this year alone. He was reminding me this week of the unshakable faith I've kept during this time, because you either trust God completely or your don't; faith and fear can't take up residency at the same time in your heart and mind. Either you're going to allow faith to drive out the fear or fear drive out your faith. And, you can't ride someone else's coat tails when it comes to faith, you've God to dig into the word of God and grab a hold of faith for yourself. When I stay in the throne room of God, it doesn't mean I'm oblivious to what's going on in the world, but it does keep me secure in knowing that despite corruption, chaos, and compromise going on within the world... God is still in control and I do not fear, knowing there is no other God before Him, He changes not, He still speaks to His sons and daughters, unlike those who worship idols that can't talk and answer you back, He is aware of what's going on and His plan and purpose will unfold. Again, through His Word yesterday and during a powerful time of worship, He reminded me of how He was preparing to gather His remnant which will be small in number. I've heard, in my spirit, about the remnant church for quite some time now. I believe those of the remnant church to be those who are truly faithful to God, not wavering in their faith, trusting and living for God wholeheartedly every step of the way. Those still left following God after great catastrophes happen. It's happening right before my eyes this year; Christians leaving their faith and bowing to the spirit of fear, and suddenly no longer believing in God, churches bowing to fear and compromise, pastors and leaders allowing worldly entertainment to grace their church grounds and choosing to please people over God, preachers sugar coating their messages and listening to what man tells them to do over God; walking everyday with blinders on. That's why the remanent will be small in number, because when castrophes hit the enemy comes in and gets people to bow out left and right. Listen, it's hard to see what is happening but everything unfolds to fall in line with God's return. It says in the last days, even the very elect will be deceived. This time, in our world, has only caused me to draw nigh to God and push in even closer to Him. He's pushed out who and what I don't need to listen to or be a part of. He's protecting me. He's opened my eyes in a powerful way. He's shown me the importance of only being dedicated to His will and to His way; not man or a church building. You can be dedicated to church (building) and all it's activities and never have an intimate, close relationship with God. I don't care how many church jobs you have, if you're not saved you won't see Heaven as your home. Programs certainly won't get you there. God has a voice still throughout all of this. His perfect peace is here for anyone to reach out and take a hold of. You can't live off the peace I have, but He sure will give it to you if you ask. I know when I sit at my keyboard by my bed, and sing and praise God... when I pray in my room, when I push out anything that contradicts the word of God, when I am very cautious about my words and steps I take, when I filter what I allow to enter my mind through what I read and watch, and when I keep fully trusting in God... I continue to lay my head down on my pillow each night having complete peace, confidence, and assurance in God! ♡
In Christ,
