This isn't good. You have a lot of advice but when someone speaks about things they either have struggled with or are struggling with, concerning getting to know God and walk with Him, it's more of a help for them to hear about your struggles to walk too. It's not really so much of a help to give them advice and to make yourself appear as if you don't have struggles in trust. Additionally, I don't think you read my post carefully enough if your takeaway from it was that I was complaining and causing God to look incapable.Agree. HOWEVER....
You Do have the Authority To DECLARE, SPEAK, and COMMAND your mind to YIELD to the thoughts of your spirit in your heart.
May sound silly or trivial...HOWEVER, remember WHO's Spirit (Power) is IN Your spirit in your heart... Isn't Gods Power within you, STRONG enough to EFFECT a righteous Act that you Declare FOR yourself?
BTW...an ACT, God Himself "Desires FOR YOU"?
The Carnal Mind, IS AGAINST God.
The Spirit of God IS IN your spirit, IN your heart.
He absolutely DOES WANT your Carnal Mind to yield to your spirit, That HIS POWER, can Effect that it BE So.
Yes, storing treasures up in Heaven is good.
However YOU have to Accumulate Treasures, TO STORE up in Heaven.
"Treasures one CAN STORE UP IN HEAVEN", is not FOOD, is not HIS WORD".
HIS WORD IS 'our food" ON EARTH.
We STORE Treasures up IN Heaven, BY Glorifying His NAME ON EARTH.
Sorry, but complaining how you FEEL, He is NOT guiding you, IS NOT Glorifying to His Name. It IS rather, a testimony, He is FAILING you.
I agree, IN part, of that being a Trust issue...
But think it is more than a Trust issue.
Meaning, there is an underlying issue, that leads you to challenging His Trustworthness.
I don't know you, IF you are a believer....or IF you are A Converted, Born Again Commited Believer.
But I would suggest YOU earnestly set aside some time, and Examine and Assess YOURSELF.
You are right that people find complaining, easier than, resolving an issue. Especially IF the resolving requires the individual to closely examine themselves, their own downfalls...WHEN it is so much Easier to put that on God (or an other).
EVERY single person has "HARDSHIP" stories that pertains to them specific. NO ONE escapes that. (Thefts, lying to them, hurt feelings, cheated, unjust treatment, diseases, unruly kids, property distruction, money shortages, bills, and on and on.)
^ Those ARE mankinds BURDEN to bear.
God doesn't swoop down, Wave His Hand, and ones Credit Card bills magically disappear, BECAUSE one spent what one could NOT afford. Or CORRECT an unruly Child, Because the parent NEVER taught and prepared the child with a Godly Foundation. Etc.
Men "WITH" the Holy Spirit "WITHIN" them...
HAVE GREAT Authority to DECLARE, the VERY THINGS, God "WANTS" a man "TO HAVE".
And a man "WHO HAS" the Spirit (Power) of God IN THEM....UH...WHAT IS TOO GREAT, that Gods Power can NOT EFFECT something TO BECOME accomplished?
YOU have to Examine yourself. Your own woes and issues and hardships...and read what Gods word says to direct you ON THAT specific thing. Declare "for yourself", "speak it" what His word says, and then ASK God Himself for His Power to EFFECT HIS WORD IN YOU, that YOU have Declared "for yourself", BE ACCOMPLISHED.
And a word to the wise...without Belief, without Trust, without Patience....you will find your efforts fruitless.
However...WITH belief, WITH Trust, WItH Patience...you will find overwhelming Joy and Peace.
And to mention a word about ..PATIENCE.
Patience is not particularly what a person wants to hear, when a dilemma or hardship is consuming their thoughts and troubling their daily existance.
However the key to understanding patience...
IS, trusting God is ALL knowing, and that He knows the EXACT moment, you NEED the answer to your dilemma, and SHALL provide it for you.
A person can drive themselves looney, worrying , wondering, trying to Figure out solutions to this or that.
Find His word in Scripture.
Declare it for yourself.
Ask God for His Power to resolve the dilemma
Be patient, wait. He has Plenty of messengers in the wings, ready, (when you least expect it), to give you the solution.
THEN...you can TESTIFY to others OF HOW Great your God is....Which Glorifies His Name...
And Stores Up Treasures In Heaven,
FOR YOU.
Glory to God,
Happy New Year,
God Bless,
