Testing & Understanding the Secret Motives of the Heart
We all rejoice at the revelation of Christ’s plan for us and we walk in Faith, feeling untouchable, being built up in Him, laying hold to our Faith, trusting Him for the outcome!
This is a good day!
However, those of you that have been in The Kingdom of God for a while before bed, will ask and hope we wake up the same way. And usually it is not the same way and we find ourselves being tempted or tested.
By the way, if you haven’t figured it out yet, not everyone, even Christians are very happy and overjoyed with your news! No we begin to see that old green eyed monster we thought was under The Blood!
Always remember, God reveals His Will and portion to us individually and personally. We are no longer led by a King, Priest or Prophet.
The LORD rent the curtain in two so that we can come boldly to The Throne Room of Grace to receive Mercy and find help in time of need.
It is easy to believe when everything seems positive and so many are speaking the same thing and we think we cannot possibly forget that. Can I get a witness on this!
Beloved we are human and forget in a moment!
I learned this early on after the baptism of The Holy Ghost with Fire.
Purchase a notebook or journal and begin to use it during your prayer time and when The LORD shows you things during the day, date it and write what it was.
You will be amazed at how much The LORD spoke through that time that you forgot.
We must always stand, trust, and believe no matter who attempts to sway our thoughts to doubt our faith in what God said.
God is not double-minded nor does He build you up in Hope and Faith, to tear you down. That is the adversaries.
Temptations to doubt will come. But regardless of who or how many come as they may, we know temptations and testing can come in the form of other believers, even those closest to us that we love.
God always tests us in our areas of strengths and the enemy tempts us in areas or weaknesses.
Stand firm in The LORD, He has not brought you to this new place to suddenly change His Mind! Stand not with those who are given to change.
“My son, fear The LORD and the king; do not associate with those given to change; for their calamity will rise suddenly, and who knows the ruin those two can bring?” Proverbs 24:21-22
Now find your place and hold your ground and do not adhere to their sudden overtures. Remember the plan and the vision you have been given and be not double-minded and unstable — but trust The LORD.
Will we stand and believe what God has shown us?
No matter how many ways the enemy tries to get us to doubt, stand firm and recall the Words He has spoken to you!
Testing will come to stretch us further, and He will test us by sending others we know along to provoke us to doubt what we know God said.
The process is like this; He provokes a reaction to action!
He knows what is in our hearts and He will often provoke us to get to our own heart!
How can we repent, if our heart is not laid bear?
God knows the motives of the heart, and he knows what you should allow or reject in your Spirit, mind, and body.
Most times the people you love don’t even realize what they did wrong.
Forgive them, release them, and let them go, and pray for them for greater understanding.
In HIS Grace and Mercy,

Great word of encouragement to stand our ground and continue on the path that the Lord has us on, regardless of what any one or anything throws our way.
Yes, trying to understand a current test. Lord lead me, for I am confused about my role in another’s crisis, where I am begged for help. Let me not interfere in your work, yet let me mot fail in what you would have me do. Amen
