Today was a day with many different bible Christ things thrown at me. First it is Thursday, so its Bible Study day. Love those ladies :)
We are studying Revelation. Heavy. But so good when it's done by Beth Moore.
I find her energy so .....energetic!!
Revelation 1:1-3 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
Then I had a conversation with a friend about being Equally Yoked AND Being Born Again. Heavy. But good conversation
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
John 3:3 Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
Revelation. Equally Yoked. Born Again.
What do these words mean? Why on one day would God throw these three things at me? What is He saying to me? What am I suppose to learn? Am I suppose to search these topics? Study them?
I know that I am Born Again.
I have actually been born again a couple times. Once when I was 17. A dear friend of mine from High School, his mom was a saved Christian. And she sat me down one day and said, "you are going to pray this prayer, repeat after me."
That was the first time. I actually prayed that prayer a few more times in my life.
Each time it got me closer to Christ. And each time was its own special experience.
Yep, I am saved and Born Again.
I am equally yoked to my husband.
On Different walks we are. But we are strong in our marriage.
We both believe. We know the power of Christ in our marriage. He must be the head of the marriage. Only then does the marriage function as it should. But also, respect, love, commitment, shared goals, communication, friendship, and an overall likeness of each other. This person, this mate, should be your friend. Someone you trust more than anyone. You should LIKE to spend time with this person. You should not feel ill of this mate. This is the honest to God truth, I have never questioned if I should be married to my husband. Oh, don't get me wrong, we have our moments where we disagree, and maybe raise our voices over something stupid. We can have passionate conversations.
But, we LIKE being together. And I have never said to myself, "did I make the right choice in a mate." NEVER. I KNOW my husband was chosen my God for me. I know it. And my husband has told me he too has never questioned if I am the right wife for him. We both come from a long line of committed marriages in our parents, siblings, friends.
It has always been "right" "equally yoked".
Revelation.
I have revelations every day about Christ. He is everywhere and in everything of life.
But to really have a revelation from Christ, it doesn't happen often I don't think. There are those rare moments when you step back and say, with the hair on your neck standing up and you say, "THAT was a God thing!" There are God Revelations that are profound, that make you just stand in Awe of who He is. I have only had a few of those in my life, where I felt like the hand of God himself touched me. Dreams. I have many dreams. So powerful that I wake KNOWING it was God.
Moments when I should have fallen completely apart, but didn't. Moments when I KNEW God was God. Those are moments, the ones that we look at and say, I should not have made it through that, but I did. Those moments, are God Revelations.
But there are so many moments that God is trying to Revel himself to us.
We just aren't paying attention, or in the right frame of mind.
We have to open up to that kind of trust. Its scary, but oh so wonderful when we say, from our heart God, let a Revelation come to me.
Three God things thrown my way today.
Continue to make me as excited about my faith today as I was at 17!
Continue to bless my marriage to be equally yoked under Your Authority!
And continue to Revel Yourself to me!
