Good morning
friend. What’s the first thing that came to your mind when you woke up? For me,
I woke today with one clear & dominant thought: GOD IS NOT IN THE BUSINESS
OF SPEAKING TO YOUR SITUATION. The thought hit my mind even before my feet hit
the floor.
As I
considered it, I came up with these four truths:
God is not in the business of speaking to your situation, but speaking
ABOUT it
God is not in the business of speaking to your situation, but speaking
to YOU
God is not in the business of speaking to your situation, but YOU ARE
God is not in the business of speaking to your situation, but DOING your
words (the words you speak to your situation)
Simply put, God
is not in the business of speaking to your situation, but He is in the business
of speaking TO YOU ABOUT IT and PERFORMING the words that YOU SPEAK to it.
Also note, it
is not mainly about the words you speak to Him about it but the words you speak
TO IT. Do less of talking to God about your situation, do more of speaking to
your situation, speaking the Word that God has spoken in the bible & in
your heart, telling that situation what to do (disappear, be removed, be
resolved, be turned around etc.)
I strongly
believe this is the Word of the Lord to me this year, but He would also have me
share it with you: SPEAK TO YOUR SITUATION.
When was the
last time you spoke to a mountain? It’s time to take Mark 11:23 literally once again: whosoever shall say unto this
mountain, “be removed and be cast into the sea” and shall not doubt in his
heart but shall believe that those things he says shall come to pass; he shall
have whatsoever he says.
Finally, Jesus
said: if you will ask anything in my
name, I will do it (John 14:14). He wasn’t talking about prayer here,
because He said in John 16:23 that we should not ask Him anything as the
disciples did when He was on earth; but ask the Father in His name and He said
“the Father will give you” (John
16:23 paraphrased). In John 14:14 then, Jesus was talking about a Christian
asking/calling for/desiring something to happen in the earth. The Holy Spirit
is the PERFORMER where the Godhead is concerned. The angels of God are the
messengers/sent ones; the enforcers/executors. When in the name of Jesus I
demand/command that thing to be, Jesus says He Himself will do it. Jesus
doesn’t come down from His throne; but by His Spirit and by the ministry of His
angels, every word I speak to my situation or my mountain is PERFORMED.
Speak to your
situation. Give God what He needs to work in your situation, to PERFORM His
Word. Don’t moan, cry or complain about it. Praying about it is good, as long
as you come away from prayer with an active Word to SPEAK or clear direction on
what to DO. When you’ve got that, you’ve got all you need brother!
Enjoy your
year. Live full! No more emptiness, no more barrenness, it’s the year of HIS
FULLNESS!
