Oh give thanks unto the Lord for He is good, yes He is good. As I was sitting here thinking about things that are going on in my life, I decided to go back a few years in my archives to see what was happening on this date. God brought some of the things He as done supernaturally in my past to the surface.
Today’s Prayer
Father, I pray for all the people who are living with chronic physical pain. Some have been injured in accidents, others in war, others have illnesses or are in poor health; whatever the reason, they hurt. God, please go to the source of this pain and take care of the problem. I pray that You will touch minds and bodies and bring healing. I pray that You will remove that debilitating pain. You are the Great Healer. You are our Creator. You alone can speak and healing will come. Please, have mercy upon the painful. I pray for strength for each day. I pray for Your grace. And I thank You for hearing my prayer and for moving in lives. In Jesus’ powerful name I pray, Amen.
Let’s eat.
God’s Messengers
As I began my day today, the Holy Spirit reminded me of the following scripture and a time in my life a lot of years ago where this was spoken into my life by a total stranger. The person walked up to me in a grocery store and said hello, then he said to me, man of God, I was sent to tell you to keep your focus on Jesus, even though it seems like you are on an Island by yourself. God is getting ready to bring you back into relationship with Him. “You are called to free other believers from the Esau life.” This really freaked me out because I was in a time when I had given up on church and the phony people I had encountered in my walk. The Lord sent a stranger to encourage my spirit to not give up on Him. I had been in the midst of trying to understand some catastrophic events that shook my world. Years later, I was able to see that God gave this person supernatural insight that revealed God’s calling on my life.
Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets. – Amos 3:7
I don’t know where you stand on this issue but I know that God still uses His prophets today to reveal His plans in the lives of His people. I have seen this Scripture proved over and over in the lives of people. It is as though God sends out His “scouts” to inform His servants what is ahead for them. Sometimes He does this because He knows the event will require such changes in that person’s life and so He wants to assure them of His love. I have experienced the Lord using me in this way in the life of other individuals. God did this in the life of Moses. He came to Moses at the burning bush to reveal His purposes for the people of Israel and His call on Moses to free them.
Has God placed individuals in your life to speak His plans for you? Are your eyes and ears spiritually sensitive so that you will know who are the messengers of God? Elisha had a servant who could not see or hear with spiritual eyes and ears until Elisha prayed they would be opened. Then the servant could see the great army of God protecting them (see 2 Kings 6:17). Pray that you might see and hear with the Spirit. He may desire to reveal His purposes and plans through another individual.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Question: “Didn’t we agree that God is a spirit? Don’t you worship Him because He is pure spirit?” Answer : “Good heavens, no! We worship Him because He is wise and good. There’s nothing specially fine about being a spirit. The Devil is a spirit.” ~(Clive Staples) C. S. Lewis~
