PRACTICAL NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANITY

MESSAGE #38

RUTS

I, Bondman, hereby state that I hate ruts! But I can tell you that God hates 'em more!!

If you're truly serious about Him, then you can expect to be shaken out of every rut you ever get into! You start to feel comfortable where you are: then a God-earthquake is soon coming to shake you right out of that groove you've got into, where maybe you feel like your Christian walk is going quite well! Y'see, the moment we get to feel this, then suddenly we don't need to be moment by moment trusting Him! Whoa!!

And because HE knows that constant trust and reliance on Him is the ONLY way that your walk in Him can work, then He simply has NO CHOICE! He HAS to do whatever it takes to move you from where you are, back to throwing yourself upon him in full reliance that He alone is your sufficiency. AND believe me HE WILL!! - and you probably won't enjoy it one bit.

But please do NOT fight this! He knows exactly what's needed. He NEVER ever makes a mistake! You may well feel very uncomfortable - even quite upset - for a time while He's working in you. You may even feel like you've lost the plot as a Believer, and get most concerned about this. But trust me, this is absolutely normal for the serious Christian man or woman!

What to do?? - just ACCEPT the earthquake from His hand, and in time it WILL end, and you'll likely find yourself in new territory! You may then rejoice and shout 'Hallelujah!' - for He has grown you to be a little more like the Lord Jesus!

- BM and Mrs BM
