5-14-2009. . . . Green Light!
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." {Heb 11:1 NIV) Have you ever been sitting at a stop light waiting for it to turn green and after waiting for what seemed like an eternity, the light changed, but you found yourself still sitting there? Although you had the green light, you did not move until prompted by the horn of the driver behind you! God has given someone the green light, but you haven’t moved yet! What are you waiting on! Today’s message is your prompting! It’s time to proceed! We seem to respond well when God gives us the red light to stop; even if we don’t like it, we stop! We also do well when God gives us the yellow signal to proceed with caution. It’s when God gives us the green signal to go, that we sometimes hesitate because of fear, the unknown, and even unbelief! Fear allowed to operate unchecked can cause stagnation. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Tim 1:7 NKJV) Unbelief is the opposite of faith and will deny you the benefit and blessing of pleasing God! "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Heb 11:6 KJV) IT’S TIME. . . .YOU HAVE THE GREEN LIGHT. . . .BEEP BEEP! GOD SAYS GO!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for bringing me to this moment! Continue directing my path as I move forward in your ordained destiny! Amen.
