As you radiate peace and goodwill, you open up the channels for God's love to come in. Every day, we have to blot out noises and chatter and listen for the voice of God and respond accordingly. The acceptable time is not the length of time. It is the due time God has alloted for his children. The choices we make are the ones we have to live with. Choose well. With a strong arm, God will bring us to a place of surrender. The Holy Spirit desires that we walk in integrity and humility in order to have an encounter with God. He must be properly introduced. Many know of him, yet they do not know him as the giver of life. The enemy has cast a spirit of seduction and self-destruction on this generation and this people a generation that has been written off as hopeless and lost, plagued with fear, addiction, and abuse. What we fail to see is the invisible cry from within. "Somebody help me with this. Is there hope for me?" Sometimes words are difficult to express. And sometimes there is no one to listen. Questions: Will God accept me in my sin? Is there a place for me in the church? What if I'm a homosexual or lesbian and struggling, searching for a way out? Can you look past my dress code and see what's in my heart or at least ask? This is not working for me. I really need some help over here.
