Obeying


I have been given a lot of grief about moving to the country. Words have been said to me that are hurtful and some just plain selfish.

I would like to address every one of those complaints with scripture.
After all it is God who told me to go.

Genesis 22:18
and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me

Exodus 12:24
"Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants

My favorite.

2 Corinthians 10:5
We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ

Isaiah 30:9-11

For this is a rebellious people, false sons,
Sons who refuse to listen
To the instruction of the LORD;
Who say to the seers, "You must not see visions";
And to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right,
Speak to us pleasant words,
Prophesy illusions.
"Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,
Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel."

I hear that last one a lot. People do not want to hear the truth. Even prophets that I know agree with the above verse. They only speak the sweet words, never the corrections.

In saying that, my course is set. I do not want to move back to the country. I really don't. But, because my God, and supposedly the same God as others I know , has called me to go back to the farm I must go. But, because God's plans for me are not pleasant to others, they put up words that go against the very plans that God has for me.

Whenever God delivers something very pleasant to me, it usually comes as a great surprise. Like a Christmas present. But, whenever the gift is to be something I would want to exchange for a better gift, He slowly works me into it. Perhaps this is to ease the pain for others. I have accepted this gift and am moving forward.

I will not be there for some....learn to lean on the Lord more. You have the same God in you that I have in me.

I am filthy as rags. Overcoming constantly. But, one thing I know to be truth, is that God has called me back to the farm. Christians rarely question my prophetic words to them, then why must you question these words from God.
