I began to talk to God...and when I was done, I began to listen for his voice. I turned the light on in the car and allowed my fingers to flip through the Bible and as I did God began to speak to me.
He started in 2 Timothy 4:18 then it went to Proverbs 3:5-6.
Followed by this statement The life people chose for themselves is of limitations. The life God ordains for one is a life of manifestations.
I then flipped to Psalms 119-105 and then Psalms 18:2
I stumbled apon these words written in my note book I was using to jot all this down in "loose your faith loose your voice." Then I recalled theses words spoken a while back "Only the hard hearted break covenant because they don’t care about others."
I began to listen more to God and as I did I found myself flipping through my notebook and read "Influence had got to drive the voice, Influence helps develop your identity. Influence means to bind and to tie. Influence comes through team concept. Team concept requires strong shoulders."
I know that I was reading this not by accident but it was God speaking to me and reminding me of what He spoke a while back for such a time as this.
The voice with influence is needed! Your voice comes through faith! Walking in influence allows you to walk in unlimited resources concerning the purpose God has given you.
Our weaknesses are present so God can connect us to those who have the same ’weakness’ as a strength to teach us how to not allow it to master us but teach us how to master the weakness.
Without unity there is NO POWER!
I then continued to wait on God to speak during our time together and then began to hear him speak on.
Scattered people accomplish nothing. Unity attracts Gods attention. Sight is the fruit of faith. Faith challenges us to something that doesn’t make sense. Faith depends on a voice. Mark 6:1-4.....
Sight can’t be used to understand faith. Submitting to God is what gets us to the unseen! 1 Corinthians 10:13
Determine in your heart that when adversity enters your world head on that you are going to praise your way through it in Spirit and in Truth despite what you see or feel in the natural realm.
There is an hour where God will REVEAL YOUR ENEMIES TO YOU! It was betrayal that promoted Jesus to the next level. Those who sacrifice with you are those sent to you!
When you get to a broken place know someone will show up in your world with the solution to your situation/problem.
When you are drowning move towards the place God has for you and you will find safety!
As I continued to seek God and His voice, I stumbled apon these words by Pastor Lane "The problem isn’t found in the harvest, It’s found in those who are called to do the labor (reap the harvest) running from the challenges they face while laboring."
As soon as I read this I camped there and began to meditate on the words....and God began to show me more on this.....
"Every promotion has a giant that needs to be taken out but it also is up to us (the one being promoted) to take out this giant so that we can be promoted. Our leaders aren’t required to take out every giant that we face in our lives." God recalled these words that were spoken on 1/14/04 by Pastor Gayle Brannan as I was seeking God on what Pastor Lane had said. (see above paragraph)
Then God began to remind me that Unbelief stops the ability to diagnose problems with accuracy and percision. He also reminded me that Iron sharpens Iron.. and that is to be the same in our friendships...Friends are to be like Iron.
I then began to think about some things in my own personal life and as I did God recalled to my mind this statement/question..... What your willing to walk away from determines what God will bring to you.
Then He reminded me that Covenant isn’t changed by what you see with the natural eyes. (example story of ruth and naomi)
Which then triggered my spirit to recall to mind that fear is brought on by a Spirit of Bondage. Fear when translated means faithless.
Which then began to take me to maturity....and God again showed me that True maturity is when you do what God commands without feeling it. And is seen when one presses through despite what they feel.
A promise is worth fighting for. When God promises you something ... fight with everything you got...the enemy will do everything he can to rob you from this promise.
PEOPLE WHO FIGHT OUT OF FEAR FIGHT OUT OF DEFENSE RATHER THAN A CONQUERING SPIRIT.
FEAR IS A PARALYZING SPIRIT.
Ex. 13:17-22 When fear is imparted the enemy is able to dictate and control every move you make.
Romans 8:15 and Hebrews 2:14-15
What must be done? God showed me that if we Renew our minds and stand on his word...and surround ourselves with those who HE HAS SENT TO US.....NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM!
Psalms 144:1-2
So when you can do nothing else..STAND...AND STAND AGAIN......GOD HAS YOUR BACK AND WILL SEE YOU THROUGH THIS...AND WILL LEAD YOU AND GUIDE YOU!
YOU ARE NOT DEFEATED!
BUT I HAVE A PEACE THAT GOD’S WILL SHALL PREVAIL!
So I will be still and Watch God!
