I never asked for my eyes to be opened, but they have been for a long time. There have been days when I thought I was going crazy, because of what I was seeing, hearing, and feeling. But, everything that the LORD prophecied to me has happened. Two years ago He gave me a vision of the lost in the city. He showed me what would happen. Now, it is happening. There are so many things like that which have strengthened my faith in God. For a time, I just thought what I was seeing were just visions, but they were actually prophetic. It really blows me away. God is so awesome and He knows what is getting ready to happen today and what will happen years from now. God is in control. Why do we worry so much? There is no need to.
You know that feeling of being pressured into something? Don't you hate that? If you don't, then there's something a little odd about you. I can't stand to make a decision because I am pressured into it. I like to think, pray, think some more, chew on it, read the Bible, pray, think a little more, eat popcorn while I think and pray some more, take long walks and pray ..... yeah, it sort of goes on like that until I hear from God. The sad part is that sometimes God is giving me an answer all along, but I have a tendency to be stubborn at times and it takes me a while before God finally says, "Hey, dummy, I have been trying to tell you what to do all along." Yeah, God calls me things like 'dummy' all the time...fondly of course.
My point is that so many times we wear ourselves out trying to find an answer or make a decision when the whole time God is holding up a neon sign with flashing lights that says, "Listen to Me." Hmmmm - why is that so hard to do? Well, because we tend to make things too complicated. We come to a fork in the road and sit for years thinking, "ok, if I go left there could be all sorts of horrible traps just waiting for me, but, if I go right....the Devil may be waiting there to jump me." Oh, come on! No matter what we do, we are going to face unpleasant situations. For goodness sake, you have to make decisions about what you are going to EAT every day. Now, we all tend to go for that hamburger, cheesecake, pizza .... but, even though they are great, they all have consequences. No matter what we do, we can't run away from facing giants. Stop being so afraid of making decisions and take a look in God's direction. He's standing there, staring at you in the middle of the road that you are supposed to take.
I really don't have much more to say today. I am just in awe of God. To question what He speaks to us individually as well as corporately just shows a lack of faith in Him. What is He speaking to you right now? What has He been speaking to you? Are you questioning it? Why? Because others may not understand? Or you can't fathom it yourself? I have made more decisions in my life than I can count that I did not understand. Each one that was led by God really was like staring at a mountain that God has said go through. But, faith can move mountains. It's so true! It's so much easier to receive a word from God than to question it. You try questioning it and what do you think happens? You will end up taking the long road. It's so much easier taking the direct route to God's will. So, whatever God is speaking to you right now, however impossible or improbable it may sound, just listen and obey His voice.
"Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice..."
Exodus 5:2b
