Hello again everyone. It's been a tremendously long time since I've been able to update this. I'm currently in a position of not having the internet or a computer where I live. As you can imagine that makes it hard to get on the internet. Who knows, chances are no one is going to see this. While I am in the position though I just wanted to say a couple words on something that was on my mind lately.
Obedience is a key trait in a walk with God that will move you forward to the next level. If you want to be blessed at home.... You be obedient.... You want to be used of God.... You be Obedient.... You want to be blessed in the work place.... You be obedient... You want to be blessed at school.... You be obedient.... "Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;(Deu. 11:26)." There has never been a decision with so simple of consequences in my life. I can either choose to do good and be blessed. I can choose the will of God in my life, follow his guidence and direction, obey my pastor and those in authority that God has set over me, and I have the promise I will be blessed.
Or I can choose to disobey them and decide to not listen to my Pastor and those in authority over me. I can choose to try to make a life for myself and not heed to the will of God and seek his will for my life. I can choose that I myself, my flesh, this body and mind of mine will make it's own decisions and I don't have to bow a knee to anymore, I don't have to be in subjection to anyone, and I don't have to obed.... Yet for that I will choose the curse.
Is being obedient really that bad? When we are teenages we all go through a stage where we are rebellious. I remember I would feel everyone hated me and was out to get me. I wasn't going to do what anyone told me to do, I was growing up and I could make my own decisions. I had something to prove, I was on a mission, I was gonna show the world that James Mitchell was a man and no longer a young boy. I was gonna show the world I could take care of myself, I could make myself. I was going to prove I didn't need any help or anyone above me and I was going to be the best.
Ultimatly what I didn't see is that God did not design my body to do all those things. I need God with me through all things. Without God in my life I become dust in the wind, For truely thats all we are. We are formed from the dust of the ground, and breathed life into. "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.(Gen 2:7)" So if it was not for God I would not be alive.
I know it seems so easy to say, well Obey and be blessed, or disobey and be cursed. You are more than likely thinking.... "James, it is not that easy, some decisions are hard decisions." Yes they are, some are hard decisions, but I will key you in on something that will make them all easier..... "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.(Psalms 119:105)" "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:(John 16:13)"
So you see, for us a decision may be hard, but if we'll put that decision in the hands of God and truth him for our safetly, you've chosen to be blessed, Obey the Lord and you'll reap a harvest that will be sweeter and better than you'll ever imagine.

18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints
