Starting Over!

Let me just say that God is still on the throne, and no matter what the enemy and those he may use to cause troubles do - WE WIN! The Almighty God is on our side, and He always causes us to triump!

Sometimes we have to go back to go forward. When teaching my three (3) year old daughter to count, she would sometimes skip numbers, and I would make her start over. She was not very happy about having to start over; she wanted to move on to the next number, but she needed to know and understand that to learn to count correctly she needed to count or to say the number in the correct order. There is a right and correct way to everything. It’s the same way with God. When you start your walk with Him, if you don’t fully learn or get all the basics you need to walk this walk, you’re not going to be able to operate effectively and efficiently at the level God needs and wants you to.

In God, there are different levels of faith, maturity, power and glory we can experience. But there is a way and an order to these; and if you don’t fully learn and understand these things, then you won't be able to go to the next level. Here are some of the basics we need do to walk this walk in Christ Jesus:

1. You must be born again

2. Develop a relationship with God – a lot of times people get born again, but that is as far as they go.

3. Get to know God – study His Word, pray and/or talk to Him

4. Begin to develop and release your faith (See what the Word of God says who you are, what you can do and what you can have) – begin to meditate on His Word (get it in your spirit), and begin to speak it out of your mouth (you shall have what you say – good or bad – your words have power).

I believe that these are some of the basics we need to begin our walk with God. When we start with these, we start at the beginning – the first level – in Jesus. When we don’t do these things or try to skip through them, just like my daughter, you’ll have to start over; you’ll have to go back. Going back is not always bad, but an opportunity to get it right, to equip ourselves with all the arsenal God has for us to walk this walk in our spiritual lives as well as our personal lives, an opportunity for us to complete every step He has planned for our lives (the steps of a righteous man/woman are ordered of the Lord).

So when God tells you to go back, it’s not always a bad thing. Because I made my daughter go back and start at the beginning, she can now count all the numbers she’s learned and in the correct order. I remember Evangelist Husband say “Your set back, is your set up for your come back!” God may bring you back, but He’s setting you up for an even GREATER comeback!

Feel free to let me know what other steps you believe to be basics needed to walk this walk in Christ Jesus.
