You have much to give

The Lord gave me this word a couple Sunday's ago.

To those who say within themselves "what have I to give?" I say to you, have I not placed Myself in you? A guileless love? A strength that does not hold back? A fearless love to go forth and raise up the laden? I have given you freedom, walk in it. Walk as if I am in you, because I am. Believe it or you bare no fruit. Stop your fears, your walls, and open up. I have put much in you. You must give it or you bury it.


I did not speak this word when I should have, so it's content was instruction to me, to my fears, and it was meant to be spoken out loud to those who hold back also. I pray that this be written on my heart, on the fearless heart God put within me, that he put within us all to do His will.

Courage in Christ-
Carmen


Ps. I did not know what Guileless or Laden meant or if they were even words at the time, so here are the definitions because it was confirmation to me that he knows alot more than I do. LoL.

Guileless: free of deceit
Laden: weighed down with a load, burdened; heavy; oppressed

Fear has torment but perfect love cast out all fear. God is love yet if His love does not dwell in us we are not His. Many have fallen asleep, many slumber, yet it is those who watch and do not grow weary that see the danger approaching. Fear keeps us from faith. The Lord said "Believe or you will not bear fruit" Amen so it is. Without faith we cannot please him and we certainly cannot find a solid pace to stand. Now is that time we must let faith arise and our fears be scattered. Let it be so Lord, even in every one among us. Without fear, without doubt, the mighty warriors we are in you through Christ.

Amen Carmen.
Wisdom that will remain, bringing much fruit.

No doubt, fear or fainting, no looking back, take captive every thought, with your eye on the prize, you are more than a conqueror. All things, that is, ALL THINGS are possible for you if you just believe.
