Are You in the Zone (part 3)

Morning Everyone! Another Awesome Saturday our Father has given us..... I trust you are spending some much needed time at HIS feet this morning. You ought to see how the sun shines in the sanctuary through the cross at 6:45am....It will light up your heart! But hasn't the cross always done that to those who see and believe!!!???

Now onward to today's final treasure on getting out of the COMFORT ZONE....

Hebrews 11:6....But without faith it is impossible to please HIM, for he who comes to God must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.

Another test of whether we are in stuck in the ZONE, in regards to our walk of faith, is by asking ourselves this question.... Are we exercising faith in God in our daily life? We have already seen that "stinking thinking" & "prayerlessness" are evidences of COMFORT ZONE Christianity. But today we look even more closely to see what we are trusting in God for???

In this day of immediate gratification......Credit cards, lines of credit, mortgages, car loans, charge cards at almost every retail location, even and including food locations, both restaurants and groceries. We never have to do without. Never have to wait or pray cause we can have it NOW!

This mindset permeates our whole society and is the very essence of the world that God commands us not to love. (see 1 John 2:15-17) Because when we love this world we love ourselves and NOT our Father as we should.

Not depending on HIM is a sign of self love. When we depend on HIM we will come to HIM as little children and look to HIM for our every need. COMFORT ZONE Christianity is comfortable because we control the gratification of our soul. We become very smug, satisfied and self reliant.......MMMMM, shall we say....comfortable!

Today's verses teach us that COMFORT ZONE Christianity does not and cannot please our Great God and Father. When we do not exercise faith and depend on HIM and HIM alone we are manifesting a fleshly lifestyle and dependence. This is totally contrary to the TRUE Christian lifestyle HE desires and commands.

So, are you too comfortable in your walk? Is there too much you and not enough HIM? Confess your detachment from HIM. Confess you self reliance. Confess your lack of dependence on HIM. Confess your rejection of HIS provision. Confess being too comfortable in your walk. Trust HIM today! Lean upon HIS promise! Pray, Wait and Rejoice as you enter the refreshing, joy filled, walk of faith!

You'll be glad you did!

Blessings
