When Progress Is Slow

Oleh Dia kita juga beroleh jalan masuk oleh iman kepada kasih karunia ini. Di dalam kasih karunia ini kita berdiri dan kita bermegah dalam pengharapan akan menerima kemuliaan Allah. Dan bukan hanya itu saja. Kita malah bermegah juga dalam kesengsaraan kita, karena kita tahu, bahwa kesengsaraan itu menimbulkan ketekunan, dan ketekunan menimbulkan tahan uji dan tahan uji menimbulkan pengharapan. Dan pengharapan tidak mengecewakan, karena kasih Allah telah dicurahkan di dalam hati kita oleh Roh Kudus yang telah dikaruniakan kepada kita. (Roma 5:2-5 TB)

Shalom,
Sangat penting untuk memperbarui pikiran kita, tetapi juga penting untuk menyadari bahwa memperbaharui pikiran kita atau proses pemrograman ulang pikiran kita akan berlangsung sedikit demi sedikit. Jangan berkecil hati jika progress/kemajuan tampaknya lambat. Jangan menyerah ketika kita seolah tdk ada progress atau alami kemunduran bahkan hari2 yg buruk. Tapi percayalah dalam pengharapan dan kita akan mendapatkan kembali.

Saat seorang anak belajar berjalan, dia jatuh berkali-kali sebelum ia sungguh2 mampu untuk berjalan tanpa jatuh, tetapi dia bangkit dan coba berjalan lagi secara terus-menerus. Dia kadang menangis untuk sementara setelah dia jatuh, setelah tidak menangis dia akan bangkit dan mencoba lagi utk belajar melangkah!

Dalam Roma 5 dikatakan bahwa bila kita bermegah didalam pengharapan akan menerima kemuliaan Allah, bahkan kita juga harus bermegah dalam permasalahan supaya kita tahan uji dan akan timbul pengharapan dalam Tuhan. Hal ini tidak mudah, kita harus berjuang untuk mengubah pemikiran kita bekerja dengan caranya Tuhan dan percayalah dengan segenap iman bahwa Tuhan akan memberi kita "kemenangan" atas kesulitan kita. Hanya saja, jangan menyerah!

Have a blessed & great day. God bless you.

Now more than ever before we need to press into hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is saying today. We need to know Him. This manual will help you in your journey of intimacy with the Lord and bring you to greater understanding of the commands in Scripture to encourage one another. I often will say as I instruct ones in the prophetic that all of the gifts of the Spirit flow through the prophetic. Being a prophetic person is one who is able to hear from God. We all hear from God to a certain extent. The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times and they knew what to do. Having understanding of the times is equal to having words of wisdom, words of knowledge, and discernment flowing through you. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of wisdom. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of knowledge. If we can hear God's voice we can have discernment. If we can hear God's voice we can have faith to declare those things that are not as though they are. If we can hear God's voice then all of the Gifts of the Spirit will flow through us. More than ever before we need to understand that in the last days, as prophesied by Joel and repeated by Peter, there will be widespread revelations from God. We will not receive revelations from God if we do not hear His voice. God speaks in a variety of ways. The most basic avenues God speaks to us are through the Bible, prayer, people, nature, dreams, and an inner sense of knowing something. Certainly and most definitely we have entered such an occasion. God is speaking today. It behooves all believers to embark on this most exciting journey of learning to hear God?s voice in as many possible ways as God is speaking.
