Heaven COME! Will of God BE DONE on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN!
One thing that makes us think deeper is when unexpected questions are raised before us. We may have heard them answered before by a lot of people in faith, but how different it is when we are asked of those same questions in the middle of just a very casual conversation.
Thanks be to God Who always causes us to triumph in Christ. When we are caught unaware, “the Holy Spirit will give us the words to say at the moment when we need them.” (Luke 12:12 Voice)
Many of us think that when we pray and what we are specifically praying for does not conform to our expectation and delivered not according to our own timetable, our default conclusion is … “God did not hear my prayer or He did not answer me.” Then, our confidence gets tarnished with a negative thought of not being worthy to be heard.
But hear this truth in His Word,
“Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 AMPC)
The world that we are in is full of voices that speak various opinions. There are millions and millions of books published that carry multiple insights. What do we do to be successful? What do we eat to be healthy, strong or lose weight? Where to invest to get rich? How to get out of depression? And an endless list more.
Many of us have experienced facing sudden uncertainties that were way too big to comprehend let alone handle, but when our hearts and minds are anchored on the truth of the Word of God, it causes us to be still and KNOW that GOD is GOD! He is bigger, mightier, stronger and higher than any mountain that comes against us.
His Word says, “So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.” (Luke 17:6 NKJV)
Many times, blessings are equated to things bestowed by God that come our way. Yes, it is true. But what if we are not seeing things pouring upon us? Will we still have the courage, strength and audacity to call ourselves BLESSED?
When we see people sick, how do we respond to it? Do we take it as a norm? Or do we perceive it as an opportunity for the realm of the kingdom to invade?
When we desire to seek His face everyday, it is because we are created to be that way. We are designed to long for the One Who breathed life into our lives. God is a Spirit and we are spirits with deep yearnings to divinely connect in intimacy with our living God.
“God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality).” John 4:24 AMPC
