Job 6:12-13
Is my
strength the strength of stones?
or is my
flesh of brass?
13 Is not my help in me?
and is
wisdom driven quite from me?
Luke 17:21
Neither
shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is
within you.
A man’s world is ruled from
within him. You are without, what you are within. Until you have been helped
inside, you will not experience help outside. The greatest support a person can
get in life, is the support that wells up from his inside.
Psalms 46:5
God is in
the midst of her; she shall not be moved:
God shall
help her, and that right early.
It's what's amidst you that will
keep you from missing in life's action.
The God in you is the help
within you.
Your stability in life is first
within you. Until you are moved inside, nothing can prevail on you on the
outside.
What you are actually looking
for in life is inside you.
I love the New international
version of Psalm 46: 5, it says;
God is
within her, she shall not fall;
God will
help her at break of day.
What will keep a man from
falling is what dwells inside of him.
After the tears of the night
comes joy at the break of day. Its your break of day when your help shows up,
and that help is within you. Let it out.
Ephesians 3:20 (MSG)
God can
do anything, you know---far more than you could ever imagine or guess or
request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by
working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
The things that God will do in
your life are the things that are working within you already. Things which He
does in you are the things that will manifest for you in the physical.
<> We tour the world
searching for what we need only to return home to find it.
<> Stop chasing a lion
that looks like a deer. Because at the end, you might, unfortunately catch it.
<> Look around and you
will discover that, that which we have been looking for has been with us.
<> In the quest of
searching vigorously for what we want, in the search, we disregard the very
thing that we where searching for.
STORY:
A stonecutter, who was
dissatisfied with himself. Passed a wealthy merchants house and saw many
important visitors. He became very envious and wished that he could be like the
merchant. To his greatest surprise, he suddenly became the merchant, envied and
detested by those less wealthy. But soon a high official passed by and
everyone, no matter how wealthy, had to bow at his presence. "I wish that
I could be the high official!" Then he became a high official, feared and
hated by the people all around.
The sun shone proudly in the sky
, unaffected by his presence. Now he wished that he could be the sun! Then he
became the sun, shinning fiercely down on everyone and cursed by the farmer.
But a huge black cloud moved between him and the earth, so that his light could
no longer shine on everything below. So he wished that he could be a cloud!
Then he became the cloud, flooding the fields and villages, and shouted at by
everyone.
But soon he found that he was
being pushed away by some great force. The wind. "I wish that I could be
the wind!" Then he became the wind, blowing tiles off the roofs, uprooting
trees, hated and feared by all below him. No matter how forcefully he blew, a
towering stone would not move. "I wish that I could be a
stone!"
Then he became a stone, more
powerful than anything else on earth.
But as he stood there, he heard
the sound of a hammer pounding a chisel into the solid rock and felt himself
being changed.
"What could be more
powerful than I, the stone?" He thought. He looked down and saw far below
him the figure of a stonecutter.

the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it
not.". ~Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Your desire is the seed of your
potential. What you hunger for is a pointer to what you were created for, and
you were created with that seed in you. You can become your desire, only
maximize that seed of greatness inside of you.
SAY, MY HELP IS WITHIN ME!!!
