God Hears and Has a Plan
*All the invisible help that God can give you in the day of trouble, in the hour of pressure, is made available by prayer.
*Psalms 118:21 I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory!
*This day belongs to the Lord! Let’s celebrate and be glad and Praise Him for All He has and is doing in our lives today. Make a list of All you are Thankful for this day.
*The Lord is full of loving kindness, faithful, and patient. He pours on us unlimited favor, blessings, grace, and mercy- even during trials. We need to glorify His name in all circumstances for what He’s done and for who He is.
*Whatever the condition of your heart is, will affect how you will receive the Word of God.
*God’s plan for me is not limited to what I can see in my future and when I limit my future to what I can see– I am limiting the possibility that God just might have something bigger for me.
1 Corinthians 2:9….“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
*There comes a time when, in our own self-confidence and zeal, we keep pushing ahead, only to find our efforts resulting in frustration and emptiness.
“The problem may be that you have tried to help God instead of letting God help you”.
At times, God may need to demonstrate to us our need for His ability in our life. To remind us that HE IS our Source of creativeness, strengths, and wisdom. The glory and honor should go to Him when we experience success – not to ourselves.
*Where you Center your attention determines how you think and make decisions, which ultimately determines your path.
Christ has given you all things in Him. He has a unique plan for you that cannot be compared to another. You are made in God’s image, His DNA and YOU are His Masterpiece!!!!!
God alone is your security. Trust in the purposes He has for your life. And remember,
*”My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19)
God Hears and Answers
” We all arrive at your doorstep sooner or later, loaded with guilt, Our sins too much for us-but you get rid of them once and for all “.
( Psalm 65:2-3-message)
* Jesus shows us in Psalms 65, the great difference between a passing emotion, a feeling which doesn’t last, and a True conversion which leads to a changed life.
*He speaks of those who ‘receive the Word with JOY,… endure for a while’ and then ‘fall away’.
*He speaks also of those who ‘Hear the Word and accept it and bear fruit’(Mark 4:3-9,16-17,20). About the farmer that went out to plant some seed.
*The soil represents the heart of people and the seed represents the Word of God.
*God wants us to hear with our heart -*Gods word is alive,its life!
Types of HEARTS:
•Harden hearts-doesn’t allow word to enter -seed fell on a footpath.
•Shallow heart-suspectable to joy now sadness later -seed fell on shallow soil.
•Crowded heart-word gets in immediately choked out-seed fell among thorns.
•Good heart-receives word and produces harvest -seeds fell on fertile soil.
*Whats the condition of your heart? Whatever the condition of your heart is, will affect how you will receive the Word of God.
How do you worship the Lord?
* Are you looking for a good feeling – and nothing more than that?
*God is looking for more. He wants us to live as ‘a new creation’(2 Corinthians 5:17).
God hears and answers prayer!!”
That’s what the psalmist says, “O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come.” Ultimately:
* Everybody needs God.
* Everybody needs to know that God hears and answers prayer.
That’s what’s going to bring, ultimately, the whole of humanity to God – the fact that God hears and answers prayer.
And there’s one special prayer that He delights to answer above all others and that is the prayer for forgiveness of our sins!!!! We need this the most!
When we’ve sinned and failed God and man we don’t need to turn away in despair, we can turn Back to God, Cry to Him for forgiveness and then we’ll be able to say, as the psalmist says in Chp. 65,
* “When we were overwhelmed by sins, You atoned for our transgressions.” . *Don’t let fear or guilt or despair keep you from praying.
* Remember, in the depths of your agony God hears and He answers prayer.
All the invisible help that God can give you in the day of trouble, in the hour of pressure, is made available by prayer.
There are places in you that have required healing. Until now you have received a measure of healing, but the Lord is releasing the full measure in those who will believe wholeheartedly and without any fear or doubt. Your faith has been prepared to receive all that is necessary, but you must exercise and put into action the faith that you’ve been given. Only believe, and you will receive.
*Mark 11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Lord, there are far too many places I turn in times of trouble. Teach me to turn to your sanctuary for the help that I need. Open my heart more so You can Teach me Wisdom and Discernment for Your Glory and my Joy through Your Holy Spirit inspired word. In Jesus Name Amen
