How Can You Hear If You’re Not Listening?

We are not reading the word. So how are we going to hear what He’s saying to us? How are we going to get His guidance? His direction? How are we going to follow his leading?

We pray. We plead. We’re sad. Our dreams, goals and aspirations seem stalled. We complain. We ask questions.

Why?

Why isn’t our prayers being answered?

Why the delay?

Why do we need to wait?

Why? Why? Why?

The Answer

Why worry when we can pray? Seek His word. Read it. Chew on it. You will glean His direction…in time. Don’t give up. Stay the course. He’s got you.

Blessings overflow.

Encourage Yourself…

When the going gets rough you have to encourage yourself. You have to sing to yourself. You have to talk to yourself. You have to do whatever it takes to encourage yourself.

Excerpts of things to do extracted from the Lion of Judah’s video. Here I share:

TELL YOURSELF

•Tell Yourself No weapon formed against me shall prosper

•Tell Yourself I am the Head and Not the Tail

•Tell Yourself The lord is my rock, my fortress & my deliverer

•Tell Yourself Some trust in chariots and some in horses but we will remember the name of the Lord our God

•Tell Yourself We are more than conquerors through Him that loves us

• Tell Yourself I can do all things through him who strengthens me

•Tell Yourself Though He slay me yet will I trust Him

•Tell Yourself the Lord is my Light and my salvation, whom shall I fear

•Tell Yourself The lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid?

•Tell Yourself Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even Then I will be confident.

•Encourage yourself

•Talk to yourself

•Sing to yourself

Do whatever you have to do to Encourage yourself.

Be blessed.

God Has A 360 Degree View Of Your Life…

The Lord has a 360 degree view of your life. He can see the past. He can see the present and he can see the future.

So when he gives you the quiet nudge to go… obey. Follow him. Hard as it may be, you won’t regret it.

My Safe Place Is With You…

MY SAFE PLACE IS WITH YOU

My safe place is with you

My safe place is with you Lord

When I’m with you I know all will be well

But though my human heart cries out in pain

Showering the agony & pangs of defeat

I’ll cry out to you because you’re the God that brings comfort

You bring peace

You bring solace

My safe place is with you Lord

My safe place is with you

My Safe Place…

My safe place is with you Lord

My safe place is with you

When I’m with you I know all will be well

But though my human heart cries out in pain

Showering the agony and pangs of defeat

I’ll cry out to you because you are the God that brings comfort

You bring peace

You bring solace

My safe place is with you lord

My safe place is with you

Go And I will Tell You What to Do…

All things work together for good

When God says go, we need to move. Be obedient to His instructions. Partake. Step forward in faith. Then He will show His mighty power as He did with men of old.

Peter, when he was told to cast his net on the other side asked, “Lord I am an expert fisherman. What you are asking me to do, does not make sense. It will not work.” The Lord answered—try me. In faith, Peter did and could hardly bring in the fish.

In the same way, Cornelius was instructed by God to go, and he would see Saul praying. Me Lord? How can I? Don’t you know? Can’t you see that this is the man who has been harming the people who speak directly in your name, yet you are asking me to go see him? Well yes, Go to Ananias’ house. Then…

I See Walls…

I see walls

I see walls on every side of me.

Dark walls.

Brick walls.

Walls that seem to be made out of steel and the toughest stone.

I can’t see my way through.

I’m overwhelmed

But then I am comforted in the knowledge that you can see for me.

As I hold onto you,

You embrace me Lord and hold me firm,

You comfort with the words,

All will be well

Everything is going to be alright.

But Still my heart longs for those days when I don’t have to worry.

Lord, you are in control and I long for quiet peace.

A peace that passes all understanding.

Unto you I lift up my praise.

My heart yearns for you in a dry and thirsty land.

For with Christ in the vessel I know I can smile at the storm

•Prayer is the chief exercise of faith by which we daily benefit

CHALLENGES To Exercising Prayer in Life

•Sin: Say No to Temptation

•Silence: Lord are you listening?

•Shifting Answers: You ask for A and he gives you B. Know that he is wise and knows what’s best for us. Not my will but yours lord

•We need The prayer of others when We can’t cry out on our own. Our heavenly father even prays for us too.

Sometimes we must pray….Lord grant me justice against my adversaries.

People who have Faith are people who pray

Sometimes the prayer we prayed 999 times is the prayer that gets answered on the 1,000th time.

Let’s not Quit.

Let’s go into the Garden of Gethsename and bring our prayers to the lord.
