I've been watching YouTube videos of our military on patrol in Afghanistan.  The insurgents are relentless in their attacks. Their tactics are such to cause chaos. Their goal, to target the emotion (fear) through attempting to inflict doubt.  I've watched and learned how ground troops communicate with the A10 pilots to coordinate counter attacks. Often after taking a significant amount of time surveying, taking account the enemies movements, learning how the insurgents move, what weapons they have, all while being fired upon. Not immediately fighting back due to the understanding of giving up position.   My mind sees myself as a soldier for the Kingdom who's enemy is relentless in his attacks, a desire is to cause chaos in my life in which will bring my gaurd down making me vulnerable.  I pray for strength. Prayer reminds me I'm not alone. Prayer is speaking to my commander, obtaining "air support" and communicating with the other troops...

I'm just a messenger contrite yet sincere. I'm submitted to deliver the message of whom the author wants His world to hear. I'm not here for myself aiming high, shooting for esteem of man. I'm just to obey my master, fulfill His masterful plan. To achieve a goal, yet not completely known, just completing the steps, being responsible for what I've been shown. Deligence is key! Complete the race even though those to whom the prize is prepared, will never know my face. I'm to be content for my prize is awaiting my arrival into that promise land where my master is awaiting to great me face to face and walk in the garden holding my hand. © Clinton Fleming 

"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you." John 15:16 NASB

"The golden rule to follow to obtain spiritual understanding is not one of intellectual pursuit, but one of obedience."                                                                                                                         - Oswald Chambers As we see in Proverbs 3:5-6 , saints are instructed not to lean on his or her own understanding. Why? It obstructs the view of God.  The view is translated into an ability to trust God with not only the most simple of concerns but the most complex concerns as well. Psalm 3 Taking action without first seeking God's will and patiently waiting on His answer may cause further distress in one's life by creating outcomes an...

For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord , ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord , ‘and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord , ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’ JEREMIAH 29:11‭-‬14 NASB God had to let go of His son. Jesus moved from Heaven to earth. The outcome was worth the expense ( opportunity cost of staying with His father). 1) Relationship: Christ's relationship with His Father was the foundation of His identify. Relationship requires trust, surrender and submission, and commitment (obedience). 2)  Identity: Christ's identity established His value. One must know his/her ident...

"This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him." 1 JOHN 5:14‭-‬15 NASB These passages are in no way suggesting that because I "ask if God", that I will "get from God". Verse 15 is submissive, dependent on verse 14, God's will. Also, verse 15 implies that whatever I ask, I'm responsible to ask according to His will and not my own.
