His will be done..........in life and death.

One of the joys that we experience through Jesus Christ and an intimate relationship with Him!
Since the time I was Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb His Word became not only "Revelational but also Experiential". A factor not always functional in the personal relationships of most believers now a day.
This event was added to my "Book of Divine Interventions" last night, and it came by God's Word being hidden in my heart not just over the years but "refreshed" by my "eating the Bread of Life" during our daily chores that day.
Romans 10:17
Now faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."
Faith is the "Cornerstone" to any relationship with God, as the Scriptures say: "anything outside of faith is sin."
So "we" must believe all that the Bible offers us in order to "walk by faith." That is the goal of every Christian claiming the Name of Jesus, to walk as He did and to let the Holy Spirit "reproduce" through us "those works" that He (Jesus) did, and greater things.
I believe that this fact is the command of God to us who believe only on the fact that the Word says it and by faith we believe and claim it. Now it doesn't matter what YOU think on the matter, it only MATTERS what God says on the subject. Your experiences (or lack thereof) doesn't "write" the Word of God, but God's Word "writes" our experiences. This has nothing to do with "seeking a sign." It has all to do with "living by faith the promises of Scripture."

So where am I going with this???????

I believe that for every "situation" that we experience here on earth there is the appropriate Scripture, and there by Prayer, to be applied for us to "Honor God's Word" and "Claim a Victory" according with God's will for us, that day by faith. At the very least "to seek and find out what His will is."

After an intense day of working outside in the sun, going inside and trying to re-hydrate, I was slammed with a very strong malady. Aching stiff joints, a hot flush, and general sapping fatigue. As I prepared to go to bed early this scripture came to mind:
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
I immediately realized that I am just "sharing" God's temple with Him. A great joy came over me "receiving" this promise because " whether we live or we die, we are the Lords."
That Scripture just freed my spirit to rejoice in the promises of Christ that I am His and this body is only a temporary vessel.
Being healed is a great intervention by God in the flesh but the hard part is accepting that "not being healed: is to be home (our real home) with Him.
Whether or not we live or die we are the Lords.
My heart turned to praising God with great anticipation to see what "His Will is." Of course it was to stay so I could write this as here I am doing so.

The point?????

As Christians we have been promised "all the victories" that were sealed for us by the "Blood of Christ" and the "promises of God."
That's a surety!
The big problem comes by your answer to the question: What do you desire most?
This mortal life?
Eternal life come to pass?
Or actually praying by faith to "know His will" either way and rejoicing in it?
"Your body is the temple of God", you only "reside" here for a while. You are sojourning in a land not yours and we are supposed to be "seeking" the one whose builder and maker is God.
God not only wanted us to surrender our sin's and sinful lives, but also our hearts and wills to serve Him in all matters, including life and death.
Real freedom comes from knowing that Our Father in Heaven has our best in His heart always and all ways, whether life or death.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ we can't loose.
Lets live everyday like we have the victory.........over all life both temporal and eternal.
Now that gives real joy!
