I have seen some people which are doing something for God and just don\u2019t go through with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">In my case I&#8217;ve been sick more times in 3 yrs than I have at anything or time in my whole life. But I still try to follow through with that I am to be doing. Many will give it up and stop, right when their blessing is to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">When we get something to do for God it is so very very important we get it done \u2013-because when we finish it, we can be assured God is going to pour down a powerful blessing. We all start with the excitement to do what we were asked to do, but many loose interest as they see that there us some hard work and so many hours involved and they end up quitting and giving up, even before they see the blessings that come from it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">The Bible says in, <b>Luke 14:28-30<\/b>, that we should count the cost before we begin and make sure we have what will be needed to finish the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">In my project (s) is this website, the graphics, and the editing and layouts \u2013\u2013 God has gave me the ability and the knowledge to know (HTML, CODING, GRAPHICS, SCRIPTS) I do not create the coding I edit when I need to, I am a creative person and God knew that would be my talent ahead of time. I love to see creativity and graphics and colors come together and create something beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">I am not going to say it has been easy as 1-2-3, because of my health has gotten in the way allot of the time, and computer issues, etc. I still do my best to work on something with it. I have the graphic programs, the editors, which God made a way for me to purchase, He has always made sure I had all I needed to do the job He wants me to do, and that is the one of the best things about doing something for God\u2026. He always makes sure that whatever He asks for us to do, the needs for it to get done will always be there to do it with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">And, if I need something else, guess what\u2026 God always provides for me to do it and get it so I can pursue what He has me doing. He makes sure when He gave me this Idea to do for Him, I was going to have all I needed to bring it to pass \u2013\u2013 and yes, it takes loads of time, but I don\u2019t mind, because I am doing this for the Lord, and I know along my way and when I get finished with all I needed to get done \u2013\u2013 God will pour down the Biggest Powerful Blessing and Answers to my prayers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">He has been blessing us along the way, there is always will be a Big Huge Blessing <b>(Double Portion Blessing)<\/b> being powered down when it\u2019s completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Elisha was Elijah\u2019s servant , he was chosen and also was anointed to take Elijah\u2019s place when he was gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">But as he neared his end of his time, he asked Elisha what he could do for him. In <b>2 Kings 2:9<\/b> Elisha asked for a double portion of what his mentor\u2019s anointing was. Elisha had asked for a hard thing, but he was told he could have it, if he saw Elijah when God took him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">If, we stick to what we are asked to do for God, we will get a double portion blessing.

They either get bored \u2013\u2013 because they feel like its to much work for them, to much time it will take to get it done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">I have been working on this website off and on really since <b>1998, re-vamping it since 2010<\/b>. If, we are going to do work for God, no matter what it may be we shouldn\u2019t care how long it takes. As, long as we are doing something for God that He wants us to do for Him. So many people are lazy and do not want to put in no effort to do something for the Lord, I just do not understand that. They want God to work in their lives, but they don\u2019t want to show God love for Him doing all He does in their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">We must help the Lord no matter what it is, He will NOT give us something to do if its bad, people don\u2019t want to do nothing, except what they want but they miss Gods blessings by not going what He wants us to do for him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">We all need to open our eyes, and desire to do Gods will, and all we can do is ask and ask and ask again, but that\u2019s the most simplest thing to do, but seeing through what you were to be doing to the finish is not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">When we first start something, we are always very ecstatic, its exciting and we have to push mow, but then all the sudden \u2013\u2013 poof it\u2019s all gone \u2013\u2013 you want to quit or place it on hold. When we do this, what we was asked to do, gets given to someone else who is more serious to do it and get it done, or those blessings get delayed and the person it was given to, gets the blessings which was really intended for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Just think, look what all Jesus went through, look at all the times He suffered \u2013\u2013 and you can\u2019t do something for Him, you can\u2019t take the time it takes to complete or start something which means allot to Him to get done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Some people see how hard and tough it will be, and they run like scared cats, because they act as if, they are scared of hard work, and scared of the challenges\u2026 <b>STOP \u2013\u2013 LOOK<\/b> at what Jesus did for you!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Doing work for God, He didn\u2019t say it would always be easy- as- pie, we should be willing to do some hard work for Him, we must be able to endure some hard work \u2013\u2013 wait longer for those results than we expected to, we should endure loneliness, betrayal, misunderstandings, hurt feelings. The longer you take to get it done, the longer it will take for you to get your <b>Double Portion Blessing<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">Jesus, He died, He endured all these things in Order to Fulfill God\u2019s will for His life.
