“Nothing is impossible for Jesus!” Luke 1:37
The Holy Spirit told me today that many people are living in a quagmire. I looked up the definition of a quagmire and it is a soft morass of land like a swamp. It is also referred to as an awkward, complex, or hazardous situation.
It is difficult to walk in a quagmire. There is a sinking feeling with no stability in sight.
How does this happen to a believer? There are a number of reasons. We make mistakes because we do not inquire of God. Satan attacks with a vicious plan to destroy a believer. Or, God has created the quagmire to test your faith in His promises.
The challenge to getting out of a quagmire begins with Jesus. The believer must be clean with the blood of Jesus and confessing his sins and seeking repentance. He has to release the feelings of anger, defiance and disappointment to Jesus.
The quagmire will end in God’s perfect timing which might take a while.
The quagmire might be the perfect will of God. Job Daniel, and Joseph faced some very difficult challenges and were all delivered by God.
The most important goal is to be right with God. This can be accomplished by prayer, reading the Bible and listening for His voice. The believer has to be in personal contact with Jesus and abiding in His presence.
This happens with a very simple and powerful step taken by a believer. If you are a Christ follower the Spirit of Jesus is sealed within you. The Holy Spirit is the life of Jesus. He is how you can live in the presence of Jesus. Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over all the details of your life. He will respond with omniscient wisdom and you will hear His voice guiding your decision making and protecting your pathway. This is a very important spiritual disciple and you must learn to stay in oneness with the Holy Spirit at all times.
God is a promise keeper. He will deliver you out of the quagmire and fill you with His goodness!
