GOD LIVES transformed

God's promise to us is not just empty promises only mere myth but the promise of God is so going to happen in our lives for our lives to please Him. Entering 2013, the Lord gave revelation that God will lead us to a new level, a new dimension and His promises will be fulfilled in our lives. But we often think how God leading us to a new level? Let us learn from someone named Jephthah.

Jephthah is a descendant of a harlot whose origin is not clear. Jephthah's father was Gilead, which also included the descendants of the tribe of the lowest morals. Gilead indeed have a legitimate wife but she had an affair with a prostitute to Jephthah's born. As adults, the presence of unwanted Jephthah of Gilead, the family terusirlah it from them and they also run away in the land of Tob.Jephthah's name meaning is "the open" . Judges 11:1-3 says  "Now Jephthah of Gilead, was a warrior, but it's the son of a prostitute is the father Jephthah of Gilead. Gilead's wife also bore him sons. After the kids are his wife, then they expel Jephthah, and said to him: "You do not get an inheritance in our family, because you are the son of another woman." Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob; there gathered to culprits who go rob along with him. "

But why God put a Jephthah? Is not life a lot of Jephthah the downside? And what Jephthah have until God took him 'leveling up'?

1. Jephthah did not lose even if it loses its divine identity 'inheritance'

Judges 11:9 says  "Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead:" So, if you bring me back to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them to me,  then I will be on your head? "" 

Our divine identity is not determined by what we have / do but is determined by a great God, a ready lift us as His children. Satan always attacks and identity testing so we do not have the ability to level up, and said:  ... "If you are the Son of God ...  (Matthew 4:3 & 6).

We should be more convincing ourselves every day that we are children of God's identity until we have the courage to approach His throne.  "Therefore let us with great courage to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us get in time. "  (Hebrews 4:16).

Along with our great God can do great things that inspire the world even though we are not a 'big'!

2. Jephthah did not lose his faith in God

Judges 11:11 says  "Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made ​​him head and commander of them. But Jephthah bring the whole matter before the Lord, in Mizpah. " 

Things that make us NOT lose faith in God in the middle of heavy struggle is to be near His people of God through  "... I will praise him ... - I will Prepare an Habitation him ..."(Exodus 15:2)

Make the Word of God as a 'place' we leave tracks in the future, because we can not put the future on what we see alone. 's Word unto our God when we lose the vision / footing.

 3. Jephthah did not lose his commitment to God

Judges 11:30-31 says "Then Jephthah bernazarlah the Lord, he said:  "If thou earnest deliver the Ammonites into my hand, then what comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return safely from Ammon, will belong to the Lord, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering. "" .

To go up levels, not only required belief in God but we also need to trust our God will we serve His faithfulness. Commitment means keep doing 'vows' us in our love for God even though we lost.

Healing Quote:God has full sovereignty to choose someone, It's never seen someone's background, including Jephthah to receive an award from the Lord.

"And what else should I say? Because I will be the lack of time, when I want to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets "Hebrews 11:32

RESPONSE AND A VICTORY

There's a young man who has a motor bike, it is so like his bike is. It always treat well his motorcycle.

And on a day when it is being rode on his motorcycle, he feels a strange thing. It knows there is something wrong with the motor.

When he got home, the young man was directly taking toolboxes that it has to improve his motorcycle because he thought could improve the motor itself.

It for hours Trying to damage suffered by the motor. On the first day she was trying to figure out what happened to crash on his bike to unload some parts of the motor, but still bingungnya for existing damage on the motor is still there.

Several days passed, but it has not found the harm caused to the motor.

In the end it give up and bring the motor to the official workshop for repair. And so improve his motor mechanic finished doing its job, it get damage on the motor list. So many spare parts should it instead. The young child does not understand, because he always treats his bike well. After replacing the damaged motor spare parts with new ones, it asked the mechanic workshop. "Why so many spare parts should I substitute? It looks like this motor is not damaged a half because I always treat these motors "said the boy. The mechanic said, "it's from a motorcycle crash You do not seriously, at least before you try to fix your bike with your own way."

Just like a young child who wears his own way to improve the motor is damaged, people sometimes wear his own way to get out of the blocking problems in their lives that actually exacerbating the problem. But when the young man was handed a broken motor to its members, any damage suffered directly by the motor can be improved.

It processes will not just disappear when we surrender everything to God.should be no response when we select and do the next process.

Process that God let happen in our lives that really need a response, without a true response we are getting hit hard and move away from God's purpose for us.

Learn from Job which also experienced a wide range of processes, but all of it has gone through the process did not make it further away from God the Creator, but rather make it more powerful.

There are 2 things that Job did when God allowed the process to happen in his life:

1.      Job worshiped God (Job 1:20)

When God allowed all property and possessed child disappears in a flash, Job still has the correct response for the Lord let the process happen in his life.
It is the worship of God in the face of the block. It did not sin by accusing God (Job 1:22) .

In the process we experience and encounter, we need to do first is to worship God, remain steadfast in God's promise.

Worship God is one form of humble ourselves before Him. Fixed thanks in all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18) . Give your burdens to God, because as humans we are very limited but we have an extraordinary God!

2. Job keep word (Job 2:10)

Job's attitude reflected both when experiencing the process is keeping the word, it does not curse God, like that of his wife.

As a sick girl bleeding say that it will heal if it touches the cloak the Lord Jesus (Mark 5:28) .

That is proof that our words have power, though she is in the process of weight in his life.

Standing say thanks for our lives and see the miracles will happen in our lifetime.

Dear brother, if these days you allowed God experiencing process, keep in mind that God is always there beside us. During Job finally get thanks to 2-fold of what it once used to have.

Whatever process we are experiencing, please note that the correct response will lead us into the promise and the miracle of God's Plan.

God's promise to us is bringing us into the land of Canaan, rich with milk and honey.Canaan land of milk and honey abundant here not only speaks to the blessings of material, but also spiritual blessings.
