Missing in Action

It has been about a month I think since I last posted. From an amazing conference with OCC, to being sick for a week (still recovering), and all the work I had to catch up on in between, my days have been very occupied.
God's faithfulness in leading and molding me never ceased, and my love for Him deepens each passing day.
His commitment to correcting wrong mind sets, and wrong or distorted doctrine, and traditions that have taken the glory from Him, is very consistent and real.
I walk more freer because of this. I walk more sure and confident in what He has called me to do, and having the grace and strength not to give into traditional pressures, or just simply what others think. It is especially hard when it comes from fellow Christians. I am also seeing more and more that being a Christian is simply walking according to the Holy Spirit leading in EVERYTHING. The Holy Spirit is not just the power of God, He is our guide in every moment of everyday. He is the One who reveals and explains and points out the truth about Christ and our heavenly Father.
When I truly walk according to His leading, and as I learn to do so with each passing day, certain scripture like Galatians 5: 22&23 becomes more and more real in my life. A scripture that I memorized in my childhood.
Whose guidance are we walking by? Our own? Facebook? Others?
To really be the Christian God called us to be, we must be guided ALWAYS by the Holy Spirit.
Let's check our hearts, and ask God to reveal anything that is not of Him. ANYTHING. You might be surprised.  I pray for God’s grace to walk in obedience to Him when He shows you your heart.
Be blessed.

My burden vs Christ burden

In Matthew 11: 30, Christ talks about His burden that is light. Sounds like an oxymoron to me. How can a burden be light?
God stamped this truth in my mind and heart as I was teaching it a couple days ago. It has been a while since I taught His word to an audience /congregation /gathering, and I have always loved doing so. But this time, I got to experience Jesus's light burden before I was able to put it into words.
This time I literally taught as the Holy Spirit guided me word by word. I was just His child, His disciple, being obedient to God. I wasn't worried about how biblically sound I was, or if I am saying the right thing, or if the people are understanding or receiving what I was saying. Obeying God this time was a light burden, just like Jesus promised.
Jesus's burden is truly light. It does bring rest to my soul when I simply walk in obedience to Him. Rest from my worries and fears and concerns. Jesus takes care of the rest when I just simply obey Him.
Is your walk with God a heavy burden? Then you are still carrying your own burden, even though you have come to Him. If your burden is not light, then it is not His burden you carry, it is yours.
Is your life weighing you down? Is it a heavy burden?
Come to Jesus, become yoked with Him, and learn from Him. You will find rest for your souls. His burden is light.
