Elohim’s People,

We need to know GOD for ourselves. Having an intimate relationship with GOD helps us to make it through the most difficult times in our lives. The Lord never said that we wouldn’t face adversity. However, He did state that He wouldn’t leave us nor forsake us, Hebrews 13:5. He promised to vindicate us, Exodus 14:14.

His promises are Yes and Amen towards us, 2 Corinthians 1:20. He is Our GOD, Isaiah 41:10, 13. He’s our shield, Psalm 3:3-6, and He sustains us. He’s Our Shepherd, Psalm 23:1. He’s Our Redeemer (freed us from captivity) and therefore He saves us, our refuge, Psalm 18:1-2, Zephaniah 3:17. We are free, Galatians 5:1, and free indeed, John 8:36.

Are you living like you’re truly FREE? Do you want His freedom? What are you willing to do?

The Lord teaches us to rely on Him. He teaches us to lean, to depend on Him, to trust Him, and to obey Him, Proverbs 3:5-6. Who do you say that GOD is to you? GOD asked Peter what he personally feels about Him. Peter replied, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God, verse 16.

Will you give up your will for His? Do you really want more of GOD? OR, are you just concerned about the things in which GOD can provide for you? Do you really know that GOD is our everything? Our whole being depends on Our GOD to sustain us.

Will you give The Lord a chance to calm the storm in your life? Won’t you give Him the opportunity to be Your GOD?

God’s PROMISE: “I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven, Matthew 16:19

Today is the day to place your faith, your trust in The GOD of all creation. To lean into Him. To make Him your choice! Nothing else has worked. You cannot do it on your own. We cannot make it through this life, in good Spirit, without The Holy Spirit, the Love of Christ. We cannot weather the storm and come out victorious with GOD coming in and saving the day! We are nothing without GOD. He’s the reason we live, move, and have our being. You’re His, anyways, but He wants to know that you really desire Him in your life! He wants to know that you’re dependent upon Him, only! He wants to be your GOD! He wants to hear from you, to know just how much you want Him in your life.

He’s willing, are you?

Maybe you’re saying, Erica, I already have made GOD my choice. But, have you really made Him, LORD, over your life? Do you think to pray, first, before worrying about the outcome of a situation? Do you praise and worship Him, even when things get rough or can you barely even offer a prayer of thanksgiving amidst a trial? Do you really, truly trust GOD amidst the situation, believing that GOD will solve it BEFORE you stress out, become distressed and cause undue anxiety? Is He your first thought? Is He really your first choice and not your alternative? This is to challenge who you really say that GOD is to you! This speaks past all the cliches and gets down and serious about who you really say versus whom you really believe in.
