Rhon's Inspiration Station: Sharing With All!

WHISNews21 | September 13, 2013

LORD SHOW ME WHAT IT IS THAT IS HIDDEN, WHICH YOU DESIRE FOR ME TO DISCARD, so that I can be out in the open, sharing with all!

HOARDING (give it up) !

AUTHOR

PATRICIA PUSEY

Fourteen inches of rain in twenty-four hours had left our basement- and everything in it- awash in water. As I viewed all my stuff floating in the much, I realized that my years of hoarding had finally caught up with me.

I am a clutter bug. Every thing I own seems to have some emotional connection, so I have a hard time discarding or donating things that people have given me. My attic, my basement, my cabinets and even my in box overflow with clutter. Every once in a while I go on a tear, thinking. My children will hate me when I die leaving this mess for them! I’m trying to throw out : Wait….this was given to me by my niece, and if I give it away she may think I don’t value her.

I know there are people who could really use my things, but still I hold on tight. The flood in the basement made the decision for me: Everything had to go. And later, when it was all gone, I thought about how other stuff – unforgiveness , bad habits, impatience with my husband, jealousy toward a friend-clutters up my spiritual life and keeps me fro focusing on the blessings God has for me now.

If I am busy holding on to all of my stuff, then I am not looking at the glorious and free present and future God has for me.

” Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy…but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” -Matthew 6:19-21

Perseverance in Prayer

In Touch Ministries,

Romans 12:11-13
As a pastor, I speak with many people about their spiritual journey. From these interactions, I know that most individuals are not satisfied with their prayer life. They lack anticipation and faith, and time with God feels empty. Most likely, this is why many Christians pray so little and so passionlessly.
Yesterday, we began looking at obstacles to a healthy prayer life. Let’s explore one more hindrance that blocks vibrant communication between God and us: impatience.
Most of us have at some point brought our supplication to Jesus vigorously but did not see the desired results. Unfortunately, humans are, by nature, fainthearted. We get weary of asking and listening when all we perceive is silence. Remember, though, that God is not some “cosmic bellhop”; He does not act on our cue. In fact, if we could see the big picture as He can, we would gladly wait for His way and time.
Actually, I believe that we benefit by not receiving all that we request. Understanding this concept is a sign of spiritual maturity. When we are thoroughly satisfied with the Lord’s presence, our relationship with Him will flourish, even when we don’t get all we ask. When that is the case, we grasp what prayer is—not a long want list, but a relationship.
Barriers can develop if we persistently cry out to God but nothing changes. Continue to pray. Beyond this “wall,” you’ll sense God’s presence, where you will find peace, joy, and awesome glimpses of His glory. This will be completely satisfying, even if He never gives you exactly what you requested.
