this life is a journey.

so, its been a while. but as i was reading through my journal i came across a section of it that stood out to me. its from passion 2010, beth moore. God is always equipping me, but ive recently been exposed to the fact that God has much bigger things for me than i have for myself. right about now God is equipping me for those HUGE things. He is equipping you too.

4 ways He equips us.

[1] He prepares us.
..Ephesians 1, 2:10: He prepared us for something specific, in advance.
..2 lines: natural blood line, spiritual blood line >> both have equipped us. every bit of both is intentional. not one bit has been wasted.
..Romans 8:28: all things for good.

[2] He adjusts us.
..God puts us in situations so that He can bring us into His will. our biggest adjustments will be to people. He brings us to a place where in our natural self we couldnt love certain people that we love now. He allows us to love.
..until we die, were going to keep changing.
.. until you are around people who bring out the worst in you, God cant bring out the best in you.

[3] He repairs us.
..surrender to the Lord, not just ministry. in following Him, He is calling us to all kinds of things.
..Galatians 6: restore, equip, mend. He restores us. He is constantly restoring us. [thank you Jesus.]
..broken vows, broken relationships, broken commitments, God always wills to restore people. always.
..Hebrews 4:16: Grace and Mercy.

[4] He fills us.
..Hebrews 13:20-21: through Jesus Christ. only Christ in you. HOW MUCH WILL YOU GUVE TO HIM SO THAT HE CAN FILL YOU?
..you will never live a day in the spirit accidentally. never.
..were running our own race. just me and Him.
