Walking with God

Saul of Tarsus asked this question: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?(Acts 9:60). Saul had been offering God a servise not asked for. Finally, that glorious day(for Saul and the Church), he decided to walk with Christ. "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" reveals to us the desire of wanting to be in agreement with whom he was to walk with. What are thy comands,Lord? How do you want me to walk this path, Lord? What would you like me to do?
In the background of the question Saul asked we see the shadow of the Cross. That Cross announses the death to self, the crucifiction to egoism, and the renunciacion to our rights.
Jesus "who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men."(Philippians 2:6-7). If we want to see a revival we can't retain what we belive and consider as important. Our savior paid de praise in coming in the likeness of men. Can we do less and walk in agreement with him? Can we walk together, with different actitudes, different agendas and different interests?
What wilt thou have me to do? The Church has to ask herself this question. Let us not be afraid of the answer. There will allways be a prise to pay, but it is worth it. Oh yes, it is worth it, because we will walk with God! We will walk with a single purpose and a single mission. Are you in agreement with God?

thank you my dear brother liveforGod,

the last couple of days i have been pondering the cross and what areas that the Lord has shown me that i am not laying down. what areas of my self-life do i want to let live and neglet to nail down. to die that resurrection life might come forth..

how much it is easy to know these things and how hard to put into practice.. i will surely keep this in prayer and keep seeking the Lord on this very issue..

What are we not willing to give up???

For many years I had this phrase taped onto my refrigerator:

What is worth holding onto if it keeps you from Him?

The answer....nothing.

Sometimes I think we deceive ourselves into thinking we have progressed simply because we have attained more knowledge.

But Lord Jesus, help us to truly take up our cross and deny self. This is the truly blessed life. For in our brokenness how much more clearly we will see the one who was broken for us.

Brother Phil, I think it was Dr.Livingstone Whom said that Whenever he looked on the Cross and saw how much Jesus sufferd for our sake that it seemed to him that there was nothing we could do for God, that would be considered a sacrifice. I apressiate your Testimon in wanting more of God's presence in your life. Have faith in God and belibe him when he said that if you ask you shall recive. God bless
