The Kingdom of God is not a welfare state. We are colaborers with Christ.

12;11/18





I have been thinking about what God has done in my life. And that I have had to co labor with him. Here is a blog. 12 / 11 / 18

The Kingdom of God is not a welfare state.  We are colaborers with Christ.
For we are labourers together with God 1st Corinthians 3:9

God definitely is the majority partner in this relationship. I have found that when I ever I put in a little effort, God adds his touch and so much more is done than I could ever accomplish on my own.
My Flesh would like to just sit back and not do anything and watch God accomplish things. But that is not the way it works. God has, from the beginning, required of us to be a partner with him in this life.

One of my favorite sayings lately is, "Faith takes the first step, strength comes in the second.'   That encourage me to go ahead and start a project in faith knowing that along the journey, usually sooner than later, the Holy Spirit joins in and the effort becomes intermingled between my faith and strength in God's abilities.

If we aren't seeing God move in our lives, perhaps we are sitting back and just expecting God to do it all. Take the first step. Maybe even a second. Keep taking steps until you sinc that the abilities of God are joining in with your abilities. If after a. Of time God does not seem to join in with your effort, then perhaps question if you need to be involved in that project.
