Back to Real Life

Well, the crazy two weeks are over and it is a relief in one sense and a huge disappointment in another. Those two weeks were the best two weeks of my life because the Lord basically showed me what it was like to experience His true power. What I learned is that the Lord is real, He is powerful, and He is perfect love.

I am not sure how to describe it to anyone who hasn't experienced first hand what I went through but is was amazing. I truly believed that God could do anything, I knew that His desire was to bless us and that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. I did things over those two weeks that I never would have done on my own. I was more bold. I wanted nothing more than to share the Lord with everyone. I sought the Lord through His Word all throughout the day and really did pray without ceasing. All my thoughts for two weeks were of Him and about Him. He showed me the desires of my heart and that He would grant the desires of my heart if I waited on Him, followed His ways, and delighted in Him.

My life was changed over those two weeks but it scares me when I realize how quick and easy it is to come out of such intimacy with the Lord and start reverting right back to my old ways. The Lord removed huge weights and strongholds from my life and I realized I have the power through Him to resist those things and seek after Him, buy the sin nature within me is stubborn and weak and I have to fight it every day of my life.

The love of Christ is real, His desire to bless us is real, and the power we have through Him is real, now I just need to follow after Him every day of my life, wait on Him and delight in His ways and the desires of my heart that He revealed to me over those two weeks will be given to me.
