¹¹ The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD,
for the LORD is about to pass by."

Then a great and powerful wind tore
the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD,
but the LORD was not in the wind.
After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

¹² After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

¹³ When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

========================================================
1 Kings 19:11-13

Please read the above, carefully. Don't rush it through. if you did, read it again. If you're busy now, turn it off and come back to it later. Make time for this.

The Lord was not in the wind.
The Lord was in the earthquake.
The Lord was not in the fire.

Where was He? He was a still, small voice. He was in the gentle whisper.

With all the busyness that you are throwing yourself madly into, are you hearing his still small voice? In all that passion and zeal of yours to want to do this and that for Him, are you getting to know His will for you better? Or are you assuming He will agree with everything good that you do?

Are you training yourself to godliness, which has nothing to do with the good works that you do (1 Cor 9:25) ? Are you training yourself to be good stewards of the possesions you have? Are you diligently allowing God's Word dwell in you richly (Col 3:16)? Training yourself in righteousness?

You have a heart for the world, but you lack a heart for God. You have a heart for people and the dying, but where is your passion, longing, craving for Him alone? Where is your deep and unwavering obedience to His voice? Why are you running to all sorts of people for direction before you go to God? Why are you telling all your issues and questions to people who really have not walked the path before you.

What is this I hear about a girl who is running from ministry to ministry and spending her nights awake releasing stress, sleeping in the wee hours of the morning and waking at 2 in the afternoon, getting sick so often? Is this the discipline and training that God desires?

Where is the restlfulness that Jesus had? Where is the maturity and wisdom? Jesus was able to be busy and keep His time and heart pure to God's voice - He was trained for 30 years and never once did He sin. Can you claim to be the same.



this is part of de email that debbie sent to me,
yup. she reli makes me tink a lot.

everytym she's just let me reli reflect all the things that i am doing for GOD, and reflecting m i growing enough in the inside???or i m not growing at all?? or m i just keep serving until i m serving blindly???
yup. i do take serving god as a habit. god reli shows me lots of signs that i keep ignoring and turn away and TINK that i m rite, i m doing for god then it's fine, but is it the way that god wants me to do???
m i glorigying him and my parents ?????i can't even glorify him from my parents, family. is it serving enough?? what god wants me to do??? what m i doing??? y m i taking so much responsiblily. i dun mean i m going to stop serving god, but m i serving according to god's will and prioitise???? do i and did i??? keep bringing people to church and serving him, how bout my inner growth with jesus??? m i learning to be more like christ?? is it u sreve more then u are more holy?????

will u keep serving till da point dat u are so tired and ignore yr time with god and dun even care bout to dwell in his presence and listen to what he's going to tell u????


rite now, i am just keep tinking and tinkin, m i doing da rite thing and what should i start focusing and stop something??? m i doing with god's wisdom instead of MAH KIND OF WISDOM????????


i m getting more and more busy as semester is starting again. i reli need guidance from god.
we need to grow in character more than your ministries, god doesnt want me to serve but neglect da inner character, minitries doesnt prove to the world or god how holy u are, but just u are willing to serve. your character not only shows through ministries, but most importantly in your dialy life and every single moment that we are taking our breath, how is your heart, are you doing things for the sake of doing and willingness only????
the best way is seek god now.
