The New Normal of Trust and Dependency on God!

 Infusions of faith

 Phillip Maurice is our guest blogger this week.  He is a son, a father, our brother and a great musician and psalmist. He is a cancer survivor and a recent kidney transplant recipient. He is a walking miracle! This week he shares his thoughts on God's ability to reset our lives.

"Here's what I learned through it all: Don't give up; don't be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting - for he will never disappoint you!"               Psa. 27:14 TPT

I have been hearing many people say, ”I can’t wait to get back to normal, or when I get my life back...” Our way of life, prior to January 2020, will not manifest the same way again. I believe that if you are a New Testament believer, the season we are living in now, has shifted with the new decade.  During this shift of GOD there has been a leveling of the battlefield. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, one ethnicity or another, young or mature - we've all been impacted by this new reality. I encourage us to stop mourning the past life before this pandemic. Why? GOD has hit the reset button on life! (1 Thessalonians 4: 13)

It is important to know that the plan of GOD has never changed. It has and always will be to build HIS Kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven! Understand, GOD is the greatest recycler and rejuvenator ever! HE did not create Covid-19, but knowing he can and will use anything for HIS glory, we as believers must be full of faith. Be the Womb of faith in the earth.

GOD is releasing HIS favor, blessing, and growth in this season! To catch it, you must walk and dwell in the spirit, having an unwavering, unshakable faith in HIM! There is absolute evidence of HIS power and believable trustworthiness! 

The Bible admonishes us to put our utmost TRUST in HIM; not in horses, leaders, or things of great value. Put your TRUST in GOD! Let faith arise! Trusting God will require us to look to HIM always and for everything. Have you ever thought of, or heard of the gift of Dependency? The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:7 cast your cares upon HIM, for HE cares for you. Matthew 11:30 goes on to say, "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." GOD is extending to us the gift of Dependency! He knows that to follow HIM, and to partake of HIS suffering, we are going to need some help. Psalm 27:13-14 says, "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."

Can you think back, if you will, to a time when you trusted in your abilities or the abilities of someone that said they had you covered? Was it a time, that in the end of it, you were left in a worse condition than when you started? What did you do to come out of it? Are you winning now in that area? Truly, I say, in HIM only can we depend! I have been brought through so many “I don’t know how I would make it without a trustworthy, dependable, GOD on my side” situations. The sum of it all is, HE kept me!

What if your path in life is governed by the faith you have? Your dependence on Him is a grace, a gift like no other - receive it today!
