HELP, LORD!!!! I CAN'T DO THIS!!

 Sub-TITLE ----COMMIT....ROLL!!!!

DEFINITION- COMMIT:                                                                        1) to pledge or obligate myself.                                                                2) to entrust.

I must confess:  I am often Hesitant...even Reluctant to pledge or to obligate myself.

But...when it is something that I Cannot do...then I can ENTRUST it to Someone WHO can and Will do it for me/through me.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: In the year of my Sixth (6th)birthday ---  Both my Mother and my Father died due to serious health problems.  So, at that time...in the WORLD'S eyes--I was an orphan.  BUT GOD had HIS PLAN for my life!!! (THANK YOU O GOD!!!!!!!!) HIS plan was for me to be adopted by my Aunt and Uncle!!!

Even Before They adopted me...GOD Our HEAVENLY FATHER "...Chose me, Adopted me, and Accepted me as HIS in JESUS CHRIST. (Ephesians 1:1-6).  Long BEFORE My Physical birth....HE had HIS plan for ALL of my life!!!!

At approximately age nine (9), I accepted JESUS CHRIST as my SAVIOR and LORD!!!!!!!!  HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Early in 1980 (at age 35), during a crisis point in my life...I remember getting down on my KNEES on the floor of my home...and I cried out to GOD:  "GOD, I CANNOT live this  Christian life  (by myself!)...YOU will have to do it through me!!!"

That ENTRUSTING was what GOD our HEAVENLY FATHER was waiting for---(for me to Entrust my life to HIM!!!!).

Within a few months my Pastor encouraged me to attend a Methodist Men's Retreat.....and to attend a class about becoming filled with the HOLY SPIRIT. [Just as JESUS says in (John 20:22) "...receive the HOLY SPIRIT"].

That step began the next phase of my life --- as stated in (Philippians 1:6) - "Being content of this very thing, that HE WHO has begun a good work in you will complete it until the Day of JESUS CHRIST."  Also - "The GOD of All grace WHO called us to HIS eternal glory by JESUS CHRIST, after you have suffered a while, will "perfect", establish, strengthen, and settle you. To HIM be the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." (1 Peter 5:10).

So, the word "Commit" (in NKJV Spirit-Filled Life Bible) is Full-and Running Over with rich, encouraging information:                                "COMMIT" your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established. (Proverbs 16:3).

"Feast" on the illustrations of this definition:                                       "The reader is encouraged to ROLL his works into GOD'S care.  The Picture is of a camel, burdened with a HEAVY load; when the load is to be removed, the camel KNEELS down, tilts far to one side, and the load/burden ROLLS off."

Of course I cannot list here ALL of the experiences that GOD has given to me in my 80 years and 7 months of my life so far...

But here is a brief summary:  Here is this little boy from rural North Georgia----who at age (6) - both of his parents died due to serious health problems.....so in the WORLD'S eyes I was now an Orphan...But in GOD'S Heart...and in HIS plan for my life...I was NEVER an orphan----"HE chose, and adopted, and accepted me as HIS in JESUS..."(Ephesians 1:1-6) long before I was born.  Also in HIS plan I was adopted by my Aunt and Uncle.

At age 35, during a Personal crisis, I cried out to my Heavenly FATHER ..."GOD, I Cannot live this Christian life by myself; YOU will have to do it through me,"  Several months later, my Pastor encouraged me to attend a Methodist Men's Retreat,,,and as I attended a class study...I was  filled with the HOLY SPIRIT!!!  {As JESUS says in (John 20:22)- "Receive the HOLY Spirit."}.

Several years later, GOD called me to go to MOSCOW RUSSIA!!! to help lead a Christian Retreat to strengthen the faith of the body of Christ in Russia. 

And now at age (80)----I am retired from work, and GOD guides and enables me to spend most of my days studying GOD'S WORD, and sharing it through a blog on the internet, and through the US Mail.

People who know me personally...will tell you that I am just an ordinary older man - who has plenty of time to study GOD'S WORD.

BUT GOD!!!!  "Now to HIM WHO, by HIS Power that is at work within us, is able to carry out HIS purpose and do superabundantly,  far over and above all that we dare ask or think ([nfinitely  beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams)----to HIM be GLORY in the church and in JESUS CHRIST throughout all generations forever and ever.   AMEN." (Ephesians 3:20 Amplified Bible). 

"For GOD so greatly loves and dearly prizes (each and every one in the world) that HE even gave up HIS only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes (trusts in, clings to, relies on) HIM shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." (John 3:15-16(Amplified Bible).

As we accept JESUS as our SAVIOR and LORD, ask HIM to fill us with The HOLY SPIRIT (John 20:22);  GOD will do through us (ALL) that which is beyond our thoughts, dreams, and desires. (Ephesians 3:20/Amplified Bible).

"For the Son OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, was not Yes and No, but YES. For all the promises of GOD in HIM are Yes, and in HIM Amen, to the glory of GOD through us."  (2 Corinthians 1:19-20).
