The message was "The 3 things Jesus did to keep His faith strong"
1. Meditate always on God's word;
2. Always with His Spirit connected with God;
3. He had no doubts who He was;
This message called a lot my attention because Jesus, the SON, understood that while He was limited to his physical body He could not look at those limitations.
I heard this message 3 times and God spoke to me and I would like to share with you.
I cannot misunderstand be Strong in Faith with to be a positive person.
A positive person, sooner or latter will not stand because there are things that, for more positivity I have or I am will put me down.
But if I am strong in faith no matter what happen, no matter the wind, the storm I will stand.
But in order for me to have that faith I need to feed my spiritual life with His word.
When tribulations come, the food that I am used to eat will be the one I will show through my reactions.
And there are only 2 types of words that I can keep inside, either the Word of God or the word from the devil (world, friends, family).
Something that really called strong my attention was one of the many passages that say that Jesus would go the mountain to pray.
"...One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God..." Luke 6:12
I never stoped to think that, even after Jesus spent His all day preaching, walking from one city to another, healing, doing miracles, He still would take time to spend with His Father.
And not anyhow, He would climb a mountain.
He would put behind His flesh and tiredness and he would go and seek God's face.
He was busy the all day, doing His Father will but that was not enough.
I was questioning myself, yes I do what what my Father wants, but, specially on Sundays, I get home tiered.
Do I climb the "mountain" (do I put an extra effort) to keep connecting myself with God or as I was the all morning in church I think is OK for the day, I did my part?
Am I allowing my flesh to prevail? Am I chosing the best part?
Because if I look to what I feel I will not even come ot of my bed in the morning, specially now that is cold, but I know I must overcome that feeling, I need to go to work.
Am I overcoming the feeling of "I dont feel like..." praying now? reading the Bible? Fasting? Sacrificing?
If I allow the flesh to prevail I will fall sonner or latter.
And the last thing, Jesus He knew really well who He was. He would say I am the bread of Life, I am the door, I am...I am...I am...
And me, do I know who I am before God? Or I am that person that is worried with what others think or say about me?
Do I have inner complexes? Do I love myself because I am 100% sure God loves me?
Am I sure of the importance I have for God or do I think I am just one more in this world?
After I heard this message my way of seen my relationship with God changed. I can be tiered and rest, but I can never rest from God.
Never to the only One who really cared about me and take care of my life every single day.
