Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27 KJV

Every mountain shall move by the strength of your faith and the power of God. Praise God before you walk through your new door and praise aloud when you are on the other side of the door.

I kept these words in my mind and I believed them and put them into action. My life was chaotic; I needed doors to open and mountains to move in my life. From one urgent request to another God sent his help. As I called out for healing, intervention and control there were hindrances that did not want to leave my side, but God said they must depart. I led myself into some dangerous situations and God had mercy on me. I asked for help, for miracles and God answered.

Before God presented my challenges with their expiration dates there was a moment of waiting. While I waited for God to answer I kept my focus on him. When my thoughts drifted God made me aware. Being aware, I did not let my patience leave me quickly because I knew God worked in perfect time. Instead I delighted myself in the Him as I fasted and prayed. Fasting and praying kept me from being frustrated when there were times that I could not see a way out, through or above my dilemmas.  I did all that I needed to do to keep my faith working so that I would receive what I was asking for.

Asking for my deliverance during times of need was important to me. I did not want God to see my requests as meaningless statements that fell off from my tongue. They were cries for help from the depths of my being for my peace and rest, my healing and joy. God heard my cries and knew I was ready for a reply.

When my different circumstances were rained upon by God it was like leaping over a high wall without trouble because God was my strength. I walked through many doors on my own and found destruction, death, and disappointment. God took me through his doors and I gained life, peace, joy and knowledge. I also realized how much I needed God.

Walls and mountains separate us from what is on the other side. I knew that God had great things on the other side of my walls from the first to the last. Every mountain that has been moved and every door God took me through were like footprints in sand, they left an imprint on my life. All were made by the same set of feet, but each presented a different length, width and depth. Everything that we are delivered from allows space for something new, something good to fill its place. Those prints are now being filled with what I need from God.

God always has what we desire and need. Whether we get it all or not, what he has is always better than what we can obtain for ourselves. When we allow his will to take its course and refuse to go on our own adventures we become stronger, more equipped, and we can live well. This time of year is a perfect time for God’s will to flow in our lives. It is a time to seek renewal, transition, and growth. By confessing our sins, committing to small changes, and emptying out what holds us back these things can happen for us. If you are breathing it is not too late to live whole.
