Brian Loch: Ask In Faith
Posted on Friday, March 19, 2010 | By Kaye | In
I was thinking about some things lately... specifically about my mindset concerning the scriptures and blessings. I keep telling myself that 'I'm a work in progress, I'll soon get there' and whenever fiery trials calm down and blue skies set in, so to speak- I seem to feel unsettled. That's strange I thought. The Lord kind of rebuked me about that because our portion in this temporal life is not always sorrow and it's not just about failures and mistakes...
I know I lived through plenty of stressful and bad situations and I have no regrets and there were times when I thought that's all there is to my life, see- just heartaches, tears and strife. And without any exaggeration, I did had it tough BUT.... Christ's blood fought for me. I am now victorious in Him. He has transformed me from a dreary, pitiful lump of bitter clay and I now am like Him. Sweetened and softened by His presence in my life.
I think I need to embrace His likeness even more because I know it's happened, I know I have the Holy Spirit and indeed He has changed me. I should stop downplaying that truth- I stand perfect in Him, I am made spotless and I am sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, amen.
I have to look through Jesus' eyes, through eternal eyes. That is how I need to view others also. Amen. How wonderful.
And His blessings? I need to get used to them. The Bible said in Ezekiel that there is a time and season for everything. Christian life is not just about the battles and sufferings, it's not just about times of waiting but there is a time of refreshing, a time of rest, a time to laugh and enjoy God's blessings both material and spiritual. This reminded me of Paul when he said:
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
All glory to our God!

Hi, folks! I have been flooded with things to do lately as I am in my last year of study...but my heartstrings are always tugged whenever I check my blogs, this one in particular. I owe my Lord a testimony, which I would share to you in awhile...
This morning I had a good chat with my christian friend at school- Sarah and we were talking about how the Lord moved and is continually moving in our lives. We both have gone through a lot and some things in our lives are similar...we went through each other's testimonies and we both enjoyed the conversation. I just love it when we talk about Jesus, there is a different kind of excitement bubbling up from inside me and it just flows out. It's hard to keep it in! and I cannot wait when we reach eternity, where there is no time- then we could sit and commune with Jesus Himself and with all our brothers and sisters. That time will soon come...
As for my testimony- the Lord healed me :) I have had Menorrhagia since last year, and all my bloods and hormones went haywire for a long time, I was fatigued and anaemic but one day it just stopped. It stopped and didn't come back- praise the Lord! I have been praying and my friends and family have been praying for me and it didn't come as a surprise really because I know it is a finished work already- Healing paid in full at Calvary. But I have another testimony which is special to me and for privacy's sake I cannot disclose to everyone BUT God answered the prayer I have been asking from Him for twenty years. That scripture finally came to pass- in His time...and I felt that burden lifted off from me.
See, all these good things can happen to you... God is available to you, His promises are there for us to have, the only thing to do is to believe, to have faith in Him. Oftentimes, we underestimate the power of faith and prayer, because sometimes the answers take time before they come. However, do not loose hope nor get discouraged- the answer will come, only believe.
I love Jesus, my heart is full of Him... This flesh is not perfect nor error free, but in His eyes I am spotless, I am white as snow :) Amen. God bless you, dear reader.
