Day 5 at camp. God kept it very simple, by referring to Psalm 46, and taking us to a place of rest. Maintain the relationship with God at all costs. Rest and trust in Him to work through your yielded vessel. Micah 6:8 clearly states what God expects. "do justice" only He knows all the background and history of any situation, only His life can do it. "Love kindness" His love flowing through us, "walk humbly with your God". The beginning, middle and end of the answer to the question, Now what? for the person who is newly born again is, maintain your close relationship with God. From that place of relationship, His life will flow through you.
Day 6, my last day, because God had me give away Friday to a woman who is working on staff who has been specifically named, by at least 3 other staff in their testimonies as a person they relied on during a hard time. We looked at the ways that Satan works in his kingdom as contrasted with how things work in the Kingdom of God.
The Loser rules through, power/control, threat and manipulation.
The Kingdom of God is about weakness, surrender and trust. Deut. 32:36, "When He sees that their strength is gone". Daniel 12:7, "When they come to the end of their power." Rev. 12:11, "They love not their lives unto the death."
It is a blessing to come to the place, the knowledge of our absolute weakness, because it is from that place and only that place that God can work. Refusing to use our own power, and by faith connecting to/trusting in His power and life, all the glory goes to our faithful God.
