| we shouldn't question......When love sets you free...(excerpt from Undressed) | | | I got this on myspace and I thought it was really good................................. When I was 10 years old, I had a friend who lived in the country. I always enjoyed going to see him because he had an enormous backyard where we could play any game imaginable. Surrounding the yard, there was a tall, strong, and sturdy wood fence that his dad had built. Even though we had all the space we could have possibly needed, we still thought it was unfair that there was a fence keeping us in.
A couple years ago I traveled home to see my friend. As we stood in the same backyard, we joked and laughed about growing up together and all the games we used to play as kids. Because we were adults (translation: older, but certainly not more mature), we decided to venture out of the backyard. You know what we found? Bears, wolves, and big honkin’ spiders! (I hate spiders!) As we rushed back to the house like a couple of frightened little girls, we both began to realize something—the fence wasn’t there to keep us in; the fence was there to keep all the terrible things out.
Our Father in heaven has built a fence for us. The fence is tall, strong, and sturdy, and He has given us plenty of room to date, build relationships, and discover our passions. He hasn’t locked us in a cage or tethered us to a pole to keep our romantic interests in check. In His wisdom and mercy, He has allowed us to explore our feelings. The fence is for our safety. It is the heavenly framework that shows us the shape of the gap where love ought to reside and flourish. The fence is there to protect us and prepare for the day when we can roam freely. He is not trying to keep us in—He is just trying to keep all the terrible things out.

| meIt's an Attack on My Heart.......................Lord You are the only one who can fight b/c i certainly don't know how.......Please move and work however You see fit.........You are the one the only one who protects my heart.... | | |
| I got this from myspace i love it....God knows my personality, He made me that way. He knows my heart He knows how i love......He wants to use these things that He has put in me.....God rule and reign in EVERY area of my life. Your personality has no influence over God's call. He created each of us with very unique personal traits, but these traits do not pave the road to your future. It's interesting to note that no where in scripture do the gospel writers say, "Peter was extroverted, humorous, and a night owl" or "Paul was introverted, a thinker, and afraid of the dark." In fact, we know very little about the disciples’ personal traits and what we do know was often in direct conflict with their call.
The call to follow Christ will offend all of us equally. If you are introverted, then "Go and make disciples of the nations" will be difficult for you. If you are outgoing, then "love is patient" is going to test your soul. If you are competitive, then "turn the other cheek" will humble you. If you are a planner, then "the righteous will live by faith" will seem impossible. God will call each of us to do what seems unnatural to see if we are living for ourselves or for Him.
You have no excuse not to follow God because of your personality or inner convictions. He created you; He knows what is inside of you. He is using the difficult moments of our lives to remind us that Christ is our compass, not our own hearts. When your personality becomes so flexible and fluid that God can use it in any situation, only then you are becoming more like Jesus.

| We are there guys....so close to what He REALLY wnats to do in our lives............I posted this a while back and just thought that I/ya'll should read it again...or for the first time since some ppl don't like to read other ppls pages :)
Last night I had a vision of a person standing in a doorway threshold.
The door was open, and the person was pushing and straining against the
threshold, where the doorposts were. Beyond the person, on the other
side of the doorway was tremendous lightning and roaring sounds coming
from it. The person was so busy pushing at the doorposts and straining
within the threshold, they were not even concerned with what was
happening within the doorway. I was curious as to why the person was
struggling so, and why they were so determined to accomplish their
efforts there, instead of going through the doorway and into the next
thing that God had for them that waited beyond them. I did not have to
wait long to find out.
The Lord began to speak to me concerning the vision:
"What you see before you, is the hour that has now opened before My
people. It is a divine time and it is now set in its place. Time cannot
be changed nor the events that must now transpire. I have been leading
My people to this time, and trying to help them prepare for it. But My
People have been struggling at the process instead of yielding to My
directions. They continue to fight and resist and struggle with their
flesh, and their thinking, instead of trusting me. The way is open
before them as you can clearly see, yet they remain caught up in the
process, and in doing so, many will ultimately fail to take their
inheritance."
"Many people fight when they should be quiet and listening to Me. They
war with each other, and with situations around them, without My giving
them a command to, and they think they are always to engage everything
around them. Yet, they cannot discern the times and the seasons, and
what I am doing in them. If they would just come to an end of
themselves, and get before Me, they would have the answer to their
problems. They would also see the door that is open, and they could
then step into the power that awaits them."
"They strive in their minds, giving place to the enemy, and are
continually warring with the enemy of their souls, and with their own
thoughts. Yes, you are to take every thought captive, and bring
everything into obedience to the Word, but in this hour, many never
enter into that place of rest, quieting themselves before Me, to hear
Me, and to gain the wisdom for the next step. So, they wear themselves
out, and the enemy ambushes them. This is an hour of sober preparation
and absolute focus upon Me."
"They also struggle with their flesh, and in their flesh. If they would
bring it to the Cross and subject it to death, and deny themselves,
then their lusts would not continually defeat them. It is a continual
discipline. But My People do not discipline themselves enough, but many
do all that they desire and fill their hearts full of pleasures, rather
than seeking Me. They choose the path of ease and of little
responsibility, rather than become accountable. I call to them, but
many do not follow Me. So, they strive in the flesh, only to be
defeated by the process, rather than receiving the promises."
"What you see is the state of those who will fail to enter in at this
time. I have warned My People and have called out. It is time to enter
in, and come into your places. It is time to receive of Me, all that
you need for the days ahead. Many make the mistake of thinking that
they can provide for themselves out of their own wisdom, out of their
earthly preparations, and human sources. But they do not know what lies
down the road, but I do. I prepare the way for Mine. Yet, they continue
to not trust Me and they do not truly love Me. If they truly loved Me,
they would deny themselves, and they would obey Me."
"The final choices are being made. Many are at the threshold even now.
Many are still kicking against the process, and trying to work it in
their own strength, and will fail, even when it is right in front of
them. It is time to obey. It is time to cease from your own labors, and
walk forward as I lead you. It is time to die to your own thinking and
expectations. The future is not as you think."
"The days ahead are of great turmoil, deep darkness, war, and fear.
Many will run to and fro trying to achieve their goals, trying to
protect themselves, and they will not have My Word and plan to do it.
My People must come to Me and listen to Me. I have opened the door to
this pivotal year, and you are at the threshold now. What will you do?
Will you fully submit to My dealings, and allow Me to guide you? Or
will you continue to go your own way, and be defeated at the point of
breakthrough?"
"I show you this, because many think they are ready. Many think they
can go forth as they are. Many think that I do not see them or know
what they are doing. Many think they can enter in without change. There
will always be changes, and yet, the greatest change has already taken
place amongst Mine who have surrendered and who have prepared. Many
have missed the transition and transformation, not recognizing what I
was doing. Yet, some think they are done, and they will be sidelined in
their deception. It is a new day and time. It is also at the point of
birthing that the enemy comes and takes out many who are not alert."
"Continue to listen to Me, and not to lean to your own understanding.
Even at this stage. The door is open. Many have already entered, and
many are at the threshold. Some are coming up to the doorway. The
moment you think you stand in your own strength, then you will fall and
be taken captive. Never be like the world and be confident in your
position! "
"I have shown you this also, for those who have entered in. Take heed
to yourselves as well. Guard your hearts and minds, and remain in Me.
Stand firm in humility knowing the times that will quickly come now.
Soberly be watchful and pray. For the release of My Power is now. It is
already flowing through you. You are learning to walk in it. Great
temptation comes with great empowerment. But great is the provision for
Mine who have given Me themselves and who walk with Me. You will lack
nothing that you will need to fulfill your parts. I have all things
ordered according to My Will."
"My Spirit will continue to bring division in the earth, as the true
and the false are more fully divided. The temptation will be for many
to save yourself or to fix things out of your own wisdom. Stand still,
and move only when I speak to you to. For My dealings with men, are not
as you would understand and I will be seen in the shakings that will
increase and intensify. But you will know Me in them, and reveal Me
through them. Men will not have answers or redemptive solutions to the
affairs of men and nations in the days ahead. I AM the answer."
"Tell My People who are struggling: Be at peace, and fear not. All must
be brought forth. Men will reap their choices and great will be the
suffering. But you must stand and as you do, you will see My Hand as it
passes over the lands. You will be My Vessels that I will reveal Myself
through. My Justice will be meted and I will send you all over the
earth. I have many vessels prepared for this hour, and much left to
accomplish through you. Remain in Me."
