Wait on The Lord?

-
ISAIAH 26 : 1 - 5 NKJV
 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city;
God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2 Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
5 For He brings down those who dwell on high,
The lofty city;
He lays it low,
He lays it low to the ground,
He brings it down to the dust.

In the above scripture we can see that perfect peace is the blessing that GOD gives to those who wait on Him. That is a person whose mind is stayed on GOD and who trusts in Him.

ISAIAH 40 : 31 NKJV
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

From Isaiah 40 : 31 we can see that those who wait on The LORD will be strong and not be wearied, but will be refreshed by GOD. 

MATTHEW 11 : 28 - 30 NKJV
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Jesus promises rest for the wearied souls and an easy yoke for those who place their trust in Him.
God is wonderful! His plan is that His people will have rest from fear, stress and anxiety. A life of perfect peace and an easy yoke. Well that all sounds great but do you have that life in you or are you even obtaining it from God? The key to getting this wonderful life from God is surrendering to God to live for Him. For example a person who is working things out for themselves will have the stresses and burdens that go with that, but the person who asks God for directions and who obeys them will have perfect peace because God never fails. Surely it is a journey with God to obtain this life and only He can take a person to that place of faith in Him. If you want to go on that journey then it begins with you asking God to take you there.

HEBREWS 3 : 7 - 19 NKJV
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’
11 So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers

16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Why is it not working? Part 1.

-
  Why is it not working?   PART 1. What is not working? The Christian church of Australia is not functioning as it should be. It is broken down and ineffective in this broken World to whom it should be light and salvation. Matthew 5 : 14-16 NKJV 14  “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.   15  Nor do they   light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all  who are  in the house.   16  Let your light so shine before men,   that they may see your good works and   glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 28 : 19-20 NKJV 19  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  20  teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always,  even  to the end of the age.” Amen. As the church of today in Australia let us look at ourselves in the mirror and see what fruit we are bearing to God.

TRUE SALVATION EXPLAINED

What is Salvation?  Who can save us?  How can we be saved?   ACTS 4 : 8-12 NKJV 8  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:  9  If we this day are judged for a good deed  done  to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,  10  let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.   11  This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’  12  Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” In the above scripture it is clearly stated that we can only be saved through Jesus Christ. ROMANS 3 : 10-26 NKJV 10  As it is written: “ There is none righteous, no, not one ; 11  There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. 12  They

You can run but you can not hide.

We can do as we please because God has given us all a free will. Every moment of every day we exercise that free will by the choices that we make when we respond to our circumstances. We can be happy or sad, disappointed or accepting, forgiving or unforgiving, etc. We decide how we will respond. Like saying, "My cup is half full" or "My cup is half empty". We could also choose to be angry or bitter or depressed, etc. If we have chosen to be christians, we do not need to have any negatives in our life, because Jesus Christ will set us free. Again, that would be our choice, exercising our free will. If we ask Him why we are angry, bitter, frustrated, depressed, fearful, anxious, untruthful, unsubmitted, lusty, immoral, self-centered, etc. , then He will tell us the truth. Once we have the truth, again we choose what we are going to do. Will we repent and be free or will we remain trapped in our problems? If we do not hear God very clearly then we can ask others to pra
