Questions

Let me ask you this question.
What happens when we get comfortable?
We tend to not focus on the things that we need to focus on.
We tend to be relaxed with everything going on around us.
We tend to fall asleep and miss out on so much.
Let me ask you this question.
What happens when we get uncomfortable?
We tend to feel that one's focus is on us.
We tend to be attentive, alert and ready for anything.
We tend to be focused on the one's that are focused on us.
The reason we should be putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations is...
GOD wants us to be attentive, alert and ready for anything.
GOD wants us to focus on HIM, for HE is focused on us.
GOD wants us to be awake and listening to hear HIM when HE speaks to us.
GOD knows that when we are in uncomfortable situations then we are more apt to be open minded and open heart. HE knows that we are more apt to be honest and forthcoming. When we are in uncomfortable situations are true self stands out for all to see. The reason our faces turn red, our knees start to tremble, our stomachs start to turn and the reason we start to tremble.
Scripture says, to continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. We tend to feel that everyone can see the things we are trying to hide. The things that we should have obeyed and didn't in the absents of others. This is why scripture says, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence. For we should be facing the things that we are trying to hide and removing them from our hearts even when we are alone. So that we can stand in pureness and righteousness. As one in CHRIST for it is CHRIST that is in us. Scripture says, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
We need to start doing the things that make us uncomfortable. We need to start putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations so that we can see the hiden things within our hearts and to focus on removing those things. That in doing so we may continue to break away the pieces of stone that try to harden our hearts and separate us from GOD.
Let's get uncomfortable and do whatever it takes to have the hearts of JESUS, one after GOD'S own heart.
Take a stand today and pray with and for other's. For we all know that when we are asked to pray, we become uncomfortable and it is at this time we can start to truly see the things that are hidden. Let's take this time to pray with others as an opportunity to cleanse our hearts and become pure in the site and presents of GOD, our FATHER.
When the question of , " Who would like to pray?" comes up, Take a stand and say, " I will pray."
May at that time you realize that the things I have spoken to you today are true and for the encouragement, uplifting of all that read this today.
Come pray with us at Pray Up Cybercafe and get prayed for today. For to pray for someone is to get prayed for by someone.
We are helping one another, one prayer at a time.
Grace be with you always.
