And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
KJV Isaiah 65.24
God has heard your need for joy
And rejoicing,
Peace and stillness,
Bread and nourishment,
Protection-
Deliverance-
Love-
A Father-
Integrity-
Faith-
Strength-
A place to lay your head-
His Holy Spirit-
All your prayers God knows.
He hears your cry.
Prepare for a return.
Listen, God’s voice is in the air. His presence has not left you. You may feel inhibited because the path you walk on has curved without notice, but God’s hand is still near. Even when your eyes are full of tears and your life is nothing but a blur, you can travel forward. With your hand connected to His existence you will be guided through the curves and carried over the drop offs.
Call out to him, send your prayer above your abilities and hindrances, and send your praise past your discomfort and excitement. Reach out to him and allow him to touch you, and encompass you with his love and comfort. Receive God’s entire Spirit the moment he sends it to you. You can resist the delay of overcoming what is on life’s platter when you allow God to enter your spirit and fill every space.
Faith will make it easy to look for God’s presence. When you cannot hear Him believe he is speaking, when you cannot feel Him trust that he is near, when you see no evidence of Him, you must faith it. God wants to help you and he wants your confidence to be in Him and nothing else.
Don’t hesitate to communion with God. The level of language does not matter, but the sincerity of your heart does. Go ahead and talk to God today, he is waiting.
Scripture Inspiration; Psalms 28, Philippians 1
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.
Scripture Inspiration; Psalm 32, Romans 6 KJV
In the Deep
These arms of mine have lifted more weight than some.
My legs are strong and have challenged my lungs.
Strength is within me,
Yet when the water comes…I am beyond heavy.
I wonder…What is my strength?
In this water there is no air,
And I realize I am really under here.
Under here, it is a struggle, but I won’t struggle.
My thoughts begin to question my authority:
Will I float?
Will I see bubbles?
I am surrounded,
And the water demands my life.
I hear my voice thinking,
“what can come to destroy me”,
“To steal my joy, my peace,
To destroy what God has invested in me”.
Not these ripples, nor these waves,
I will keep my life, and my soul too!
Immediately, my arms begin to move the water,
And my legs begin to move me.
My thoughts focus on my existence
“bring me out of the deep” “lungs carry me to the surface.
You shall not fail!”
Oh my Rock, my Fortress, my Strength, I am standing on faith.
With my eyes to the sky, I see a clear path before it appears.
With motivation, I speak, “move water MOVE!”
I am light, I see the Son, I breathe, I live.
Though my body had been condition for this event,
I found that my strength was weak without determination.
Pray without ceasing Thessalonians 5:17
Being able to speak to God and then hear his voice is a part of his greatness. Communication with God brings answers and needed help if our faith is working. To have a strong line of communication with God we must give him time throughout each day. The time should be personal and nothing should be allowed to interfere. As we spend more time with God his voice will become more distinct. We will not have to ask if it is him speaking we will know.
To be a sweet odor to God is pleasure, and to have our prayers answered is a blessing. When we hear God as he hears us, what he wants us to see becomes visible. If we seek God deeply and intimately we will be connected to him through a line that cannot be cut. When we become connected to that line our prayers will enable us to soar above and beyond life’s situations as we should.
You are free to be heard, go ahead and pray. He hears you as you meditate and your voice is not new to Him. The scent of your prayers is identified by his nostrils. Do not think that he has mistaken you with one of his other children. God knows all things, and no secrets exist with him, he is in your space always. Ask him what you desire, or give him your thanks and adoration, he is listening. Whatever your situation, his hand is still near you and your life. Every part of you is his concern and he will not turn away if your heart is true to him. Seek after the holiness that he has declared continuously, it is what pleases him and causes him to move for you.
Keep the eyes of your soul heavenward and God will relieve you when you are troubled. Let weakness, (doubt) pass you by. If your confidence is in him, pray like you know that it is, do not be the barricade that holds up your blessings that he has available. There is always potential for someone to be the weakest link in any group, but prayer is between you and God and in him there is no weakness. When communicating with God you have to check your prayer chain daily and keep it strong in its entirety. If not you will find a failing connection and your life will suffer as well as those who call on you for prayer. Your strength is in your faith and you only need a small amount.
Pray: My soul has its eyes heavenward. I know you are here listening, my faith is present. I trust you God, to relieve my soul. Deliver me from my troubles and forgive my sins, even my iniquities. Allow me to see myself as you remove the blinders and tune my ears in. Completion is my desire, but I know I must learn your ways so that I can make it. I will not be a weak link. I am free to be heard.
