Heaven COME! Will of God BE DONE on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN!
What we do with our monetary possession after our needs are met somehow reveals our priority. I read that if we really want to know where a person’s heart is, follow where he spends his money and we’ll find out. His word says, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:21)
Know that Jesus is with us always, and the reality of His existence comes in our deep awareness of this truth. When we switch our attention and affection, acknowledging, recognizing and welcoming His presence, we open ourselves into divine encounters that only He ordains and orchestrates. The power of His presence opens us up to see His moves and His ways, to think His thoughts, to feel His touch and to hear His voice, answering our prayers in the very way He desires.
What do we do when someone asks us for prayer? Of course, the very first thing is to say, YES! Then, what’s next? Our ways of praying may vary from one person to another according to the leading of the Holy Spirit, but one thing I learned from saying YES is my accountability to partner with the one who is asking for prayer. I so believe that when two or three are gathered in His name, He is in the midst of them and gathering sometimes mean regardless of proximity. We can agree in prayer with one intention, with our hearts in union, with a prayer that is according to the will of God even if one is somewhere across the globe. He honors our faith when we believe He is in our midst and that He hears us. This gives us the confidence in our hearts that surely He will move.
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” (1 John 5:14-15)
As a believer, what do we do when we hear people of success and significance ending their lives in most unexpected ways? We just witnessed two lately and how many more who had done the same without our knowledge. It is sad, no doubt about it, but how can we make a difference?
Do you know that we have entered a season where people will have a reverential fear of the Lord because of His goodness? Oh yes!!! It is the kind of goodness where blessings will just profusely pour down yet without a trace of us earning it. He will awesomely bless us JUST BECAUSE HE IS GOOD! This is when blessings overtake us all because He delights in us.
“In the last days, they will tremble in awe of the LORD and of His goodness.” (Hosea 3:5 NLT)
There has been many times in my life when I get so eagerly consumed and hungry to hear God speak to me every single day to keep me strong in Him and in the power of His might. Obviously I desperately need a daily dose of spoken truth that keeps my heart constantly-injected and infused with what He has in mind for the day. But today, He made me pause and ponder to this greater truth that much more than the victories and overcoming moments in our daily lives, we are to be thankful for our eternal salvation.
Our life is a beautiful adventure, forever discovering Who God made us to be. Sometimes we think we already know His will at a particular time, only to know that we haven’t scratched the surface yet. He is full of surprises and set up encounters that makes us wake up every morning with an expectant heart saying, “What’s next Papa?”
