But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

In order to live victorious lives, we need to be comfortable spiritually. That may sound strange, but let me share a story to explain what I mean.


I had a vision to start a church in Natal, after many years of struggling to get a NPO number, I aventually found a piece of land where the church would be. I was so excited.
I shared my vision with The Chief Zulu man of that area without knowing that he was the owner of the land. He agreed to donate that specific piece of land to help me start the church, but he died before the land could be officialy handed over. 


Trying to do God's work by "helping" Him is like trying to force our feet into shoes that are too small. If we do not wait upon God and trust Him with our lives and trust Him to show us the purpose of our existance, not the other way arround, we will find ourselves in very tight shoes.
All the things we want, we will have, but only if we have learned to follow God's plan rather than our own. Are you tired of being uncomfortable and being in places that do not fit God's plan for your life? Psalm 25:12,13 tells us that we can be at ease if we fear God, and do the things He has planned for us. Surrender to God today, and I promise you, you will be in a very comfortable place.
