The Issue is not the Issue.

As I have been on this journey of travelling and making myself available to God and for God to use me as and how He pleases, I have been recognising something. That something is realising the truth, and the truth is that the issue is never really the issue. For example, as a Christian, most Christians are very familiar with the verse in Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. I have been on this journey of wanting to see the hand of God meet my needs. I have grown in faith and seen how faithful God is, my prayer life has changed, I’ve learnt new principles and have been growing in exercising the principles of Gods Kingdom and seeing it manifest in my life.

Throughout the Bible, we can find numerous scriptures to support and reveal that God is a good Father, He will supply our every need, if we ask for bread He won’t give us a stone. I think you get the message I’m trying to get across to you. The Holy Spirit is the one who is responsible for our growth and transformation. He is a lamp to our soul He shines a light in our soul, He searches our hearts and exposes things in the storerooms of our soul that He wants to deal with and get rid of as it is not from God and isn’t serving you well. The issue is not the issue, after reading these scriptures on provision time and time again, seeing it saying that He will supply my every need according to His riches in glory. Holy Spirit started to shine His light on an area of my heart which was this; Do I trust God? Do I know that God is good! Those are questions that have reverberated through my soul as He has time and time again over the last 6 months proven to me His goodness!! Proven to me His loyalty, that He is Trustworthy! The issue is not would He provide for me, would He supply my every need, but do I BELIEVE that He would, do I TRUST Him too.

God is a good Father, many of us haven’t had fathers, good fathers, we have lacked love of a father. This isn’t to condemn or bash your father, who knows what his life was like growing up, what he went through etc, the reality is, you are where you are and it’s time to take responsibility and ownership of your life and get healed and made whole and God wants to help you through that. It’s going to take faith and some bold steps to break through to the other side, but I believe you and I will get there. It’s going to require taking steps of faith, taking action – almost putting God to the test. As we apply Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, as we continue to submit and surrender to the will of God, the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. God wants us to trust Him with all our heart/ soul – what I encourage you to explore and discover is this; do you trust God, and if you discover that you don’t, ask yourself why and allow yourself to be very honest with yourself. The allow God to take you on a journey of inner healing and deliverance. He has more for you!!!
