If It Is Of The Lord

Writer: Jill Jarrell NewsomeJill Jarrell Newsome

I have felt God calling me far away from my comfort zone and I have thought of every doubt imaginable! I cannot do this and that is the truth BUT God can and if He calls us to it He will see us through it! So every day I ask Him for His peace and for Him to help me with my unbelief! I must trust Him! All I have to do is look back at how faithful He has been in the past - faithful beyond belief! Hebrews 10:23, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”

I knew Satan was going to work overtime on me because he doesn’t want me to glorify God! I know this but doubts still creep in. In the Bridge service we sang, “If The Lord Builds The House” and the words were what I needed to hear. “If the Lord builds the house Nobody can tear it down When it's built on His name There's nothing gonna shake this ground…” I let Satan tell me why I cannot do something and God reminds me I have been anointed. If you have been born again, then Christ lives inside of you. I thought Mother Teresa and Billy Graham were anointed and righteous but not Jill! As children of God, we are righteous - Mother Teresa, Billy Graham, you and me!

As God continues to give me tasks that are bigger than what I can do in my natural power, He is building my trust in Him! 2 Timothy 1: 7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” God is the author of our story so the next time the enemy tries to cause you to doubt yourself or your purpose, remind him of God’s Truth!
