<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Relationships - </span><span style="font-size:14pt;">When trust is gone, what else is there? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Not much because it's just a matter of letting them go and realizing they are not the person you thought they were.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">You have been seeing the signs that a person is not being totally honest with you. They never answer your questions and they keep changing the subject. I think this is because it gives them time to make up another lie to tell you so you can't catch them in their web of lies. What they don't realize is, you already know they're lying. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">So you let it go and don't say anything.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Until another lie comes and then more lies. This is not a good thing because you know the whole relationship is constant lies all the time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Now it's time for you to evaluate the relationship and make a decision to just <strong>let it go</strong>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">If you don't let it go then what happens is more lies will come and this person is not who you want to be around or even talk too anymore. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">The Bible scripture at Lev. 18:19 tells us to "love your fellow man as yourself" and Col. 3:9 says: "Do not lie to one another." </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Here we can see in the scripture above (Col 3:9) that a person who continues to lie don't believe the words in the Bible and they don't love God. God cannot lie and he doesn't want us to do it. The truth is not in that person and you know they don't love God because God is love and love is God. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">If they lie to you, this means they are wicked like Satan the devil.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">All you can do is pray for them and put them in God's hand and let them go. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Sooner or later they will realize the error of their ways because God can read hearts and know what we're all thinking. You can't hide from God. If a person continues on this destructive path, there will be a price to pay.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">In closing I say this to anyone reading this. If you know someone that is not trustworthy then you should take the advice above, pray for them and get away from them. The path they're traveling on is not where you want to go. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;">Let them go!!!</span></p>

We’ve been searching for a place to worship permanently in our new city and it’s been a long four month road for us. We’ve found a few places and have met many quality people along the way, but our options here just do not have the feel of home and we’re still undecided. Being uncomfortable has become somewhat of a norm for us lately and so the fiery furnace of affliction licks its flames at our hearts. Affliction is meant in no sense of the physical nature, but more so in the sense of our spiritual and mental natures. Long story short, I believe God is testing us… What will we do? How will we respond? Will we Trust Him in faith? Because He is omniscient, He knows all things and how we will respond already: today and tomorrow. Meanwhile, it is our lot to seek and trust Him, knowing that we will plan our course and He will determine our steps.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span class="font-size-3"> </span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span class="font-size-3"> I read something today by Paul David Tripp in my morning devotional called, “New Morning Mercies.” His words spoke to me profoundly. Tripp writes in the beginning of the December 19 devotional, “I know that, like me, you want the present to be a more comfortable destination, but it isn’t that. It’s an uncomfortable preparation for a comfortable destination.” The reading this morning was a lightning bolt moment for me and it carried over from our worship time yesterday. You know that God has His ways of speaking to us through others and especially through His Word, the Bible, and by His Spirit, our Great Teacher. This morning was no different and my eyes and ears were attentive. Thank God! The frustrations of our struggles are only temporary and He has not left us alone to endure them on our own. Believers have His Spirit, His promises, His presence, and the universal church. What more could we ask for? We have our families and friends and much more. So I tell you in the fiery furnace of affliction, whatever your furnace may be, be encouraged and count your help and supply carefully. My family and I are doing the same.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span class="font-size-3">If you got value from this blog, please share it and subscribe to my blog site.

We were hungry and decided to stop at a very well known fast food place to get food. The customer service person had a very nasty attitude and acted like she did not want to wait on us.

and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.</i></p><p><b><i><sup>33 </sup></i></b><i>And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.</i></p><p><b><i>14 </i></b><i>And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.</i></p><p><b><i><sup>2 </sup></i></b><i>And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!</i></p><p><b><i><sup>3 </sup></i></b><i>And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?</i></p><p><b><i><sup>4 </sup></i></b><i>And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.</i></p><p><i> </i>This particular passage of scripture represents the report of the 12 spies sent to Canaan to spy out the land that God promised the children of Israel. (Numbers 13:1-25) When the spies returned they saw that the land was plentiful. I imagine they were excited to see all that the land of Canaan had to offer, but they saw other inhabitants of the land ‘giants’, and their ‘but’ ‘doubt’ and ‘fear’ got in the way. …the people are strong, they are giants, the cities are walled, etc. But Caleb had no doubt that they could go up and possess this land, after all, God promised them that He would give them that land (Exodus 6:1-8, Exodus 23:20-31, Exodus 33:1-3, Deuteronomy 8:6-9; 9:1-3 so the ‘giants’ should not have been a problem. He had it all under His control.</p><p> We all have been in this situation. God had shown us a vision, impressed something upon our hearts and in our spirit and as soon as we began to go forward to fulfill the assignment at the first sight of a possible issue, we magnified the issue more than we magnified God. We began to put our ‘but’ in the way. God said it, believe it and do it. Don’t you know the devil knows what God wants you do and it’s his job to create as much opposition or the ‘thought’ of opposition to make you shrink back.</p><p> Let’s look at verse 30 and 31. Now Caleb, which was one of the people to inherit the Promised Land along with Caleb followed God wholeheartedly. He was ready to take possession of the land. He believed God and there were no more questions to be asked, but here comes fearful Freddie putting his ‘but in the way,’ magnifying a problem that God had already solved. Because of this, the people began to get fearful. That’s why we have to watch the news we bring back and sometimes you just can’t take another ‘reporter’ with you. Because of the ‘bad report,’ it caused a great uproar in the community and the people wanted to return to bondage.</p><p>Problems, challenges, and opposition will come, doubt and fear may arise, but don’t magnify the problem, magnify God. Those problems are ‘tiny ants’ in His eyes. God is the giant, the problem is merely a tool used to bring you into a closer relationship with Him. Stop giving your problems ‘giant’ status.</p><p><a href="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5a/4e/01/5a4e01144d971166aee4a6a47bf7b80a.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5a/4e/01/5a4e01144d971166aee4a6a47bf7b80a.jpg" class="align-full" alt="5a4e01144d971166aee4a6a47bf7b80a.jpg" /></a></p><p> </p></div>Create Your Tomorrowhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/create-your-tomorrow2013-09-15T18:00:00.000Z2013-09-15T18:00:00.000ZTimothy Ellerhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/TimothyEller<div><div class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://guyzinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/CreateYourTomorrow-1.jpg"><img title="Create Your Tomorrow" alt="Create Your Tomorrow" src="http://guyzinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/CreateYourTomorrow-1.jpg" width="493" height="301" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Create Your Tomorrow</p></div><p> </p><h2>Your About To Create Your Tomorrow For What You Decide To Do Tonight Determines What God Is Going To Do In Your Life</h2><p> </p><p>“For I know the plans I have for you,declares the lord,plans to prosper you and…to give you hope and a future for <strong>tomorrow</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>Don’t turn away from God and his blessing for your <em>tomorrow</em>.</p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CURXsLg4cY4?rel=0&wmode=opaque"></iframe></p><p> </p><table width="100%" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2">“Never regret yesterday.

Ron Hubbard quotes</a><span> </span><p></p><h3>God Guides your Tomorrow</h3><p> </p><p> </p><p>- God has a Plan for Your Life-</p><p>Proverbs 3:5-6</p><p> </p><p>“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight for <span>tomorrow</span> (or will direct your paths).”</p><p> </p><p>How does a person find God’s will? Random sampling: “Inner peace on making decisions,” “Through Scripture find specific answers to guidance,” “No a simple answer. As you live and walk with the Lord you look for open doors for tomorrow and not force open closed doors.”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>“Follow the desires of your heart and allow <a title="Believe In Gods Grace" href="http://www.empowernetwork.com/timothyeller/blog/believe-in-gods-grace/?id=timothyeller">God</a> to open the doors for you tomorrow to do His will.” “Pray, search the Scripture and ask spiritual leaders for their counsel.” “Pray and ask God to show you His will.”</p><p> </p><p>Last Sunday we went walking on the Highway of Holiness. Today we are going sailing. In many ways finding God’s guidance is like sailing a ship.<br />Proverbs 3:5-6 are classic verses promising the Christian that God does guide.</p><p>I. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. “Get on Board”</p><p>Before you can go sailing you have to get on board the sailboat. You have to trust that the boat won’t sink and your captain is a good sailor.</p><p> </p><p>Getting on board is an act of faith. If you want to find God’s will you first have to put your trust in God. In your heart you have to answer the question. “Is God trustworthy?” Are you willing to let God guide your life tomorrow.<br />In the Old Testament we have an example of a man and family of faith. God told Noah to build a huge boat large enough to hold a zoo full of animals. Noah had faith. He was obedient and began building a boat – Ark on dry land. There was no large body of water for miles.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Noah was preparing for a flood for some tomorrow in the future. Noah and his family were laughed at by all in the community. Noah trusted God and build faith. God brought the animals to the Ark and when the time came, 120 years later, God told Noah and his family to get in the Ark, and then God shut the door.</p><p> </p><p>Noah was in the will of God because when God called him to a task Noah was faithful in completing the task. Noah practiced the definition of faith given in Hebrews 11:1 “Being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.”</p><p> </p><p>Timothy Eller</p><p> </p><h2>Don’t forget to click the banner to the right and create your financial tomorrow starting today.</h2><p> </p><p></p><div class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://image.blingee.com/images17/content/output/000/000/000/5b1/485744723_1164024.gif"><img title="Start Your Tomorrow Today" alt="Start Your Tomorrow Today" src="http://image.blingee.com/images17/content/output/000/000/000/5b1/485744723_1164024.gif" width="400" height="371" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"><a href="http://www.badassbutton.com/9d105b48ce374d4198461c7b36c1c121" target="_blank">Start Your Tomorrow Today</a></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
