Heartbreaks WILL be healed. JOY WILL be restored and HOPE WILL be found. In Jesus Name. Amen!!!!!! Keep God First…….
Now when people say, for example, you know, I I would read the Bible, but, you
know, I’m just so busy. I don’t have time.
Or I know I should spend more time in prayer, but I just don’t have time.
I don’t have time. I don’t have time. I don’t have time. Think about what you
say. You’re saying to the god of this universe, the creator, you’re saying to the sovereign of this universe, our sustainer, you you’re saying to this god, who is that judge.
You don’t have time for him.
who is the source of every single thing you have who desires an intimate relationship with him.
It takes time. which means, of course,
it doesn’t happen overnight.
I was fortunate enough growing up.
to have gone to see my granddad when I was about 17, you heard me talk about that.
Walked away was wealthy on the inside, not rely how wealthy I was of what I heard him say, but I remember one of the most impressive things I heard was god spoke to him and he listened to god.
And he began to tell me the things that god had done in his life And when I walked away, my question was, god, if you spoke to him that way, would you speak to me If you would work in his life that way, how would you work in my life?
I wanna hear you god. I want you to show me the truth.
Now did it happen overnight? No. It did not.
But I got in the word, and
I began to read, and I began to
ask god, lord, speak to my heart. Show me.
Help help me to understand your voice when it’s you and not me.
Give me understanding, lord, And so that’s been a long time ago, but I can tell you this.
The most powerful, awesome thing in my life today Second to nothing.
It’s getting on my face before him and talking to him.
and listening and sensing his spirit and my spirit being in oneness with each other.
And knowing that no matter what I ask, I’m not gonna be disappointed.
No matter what I ask, he’s not gonna get upset.
No matter what I ask, god is more than sufficient and adequate to meet this hunger within me that he’s placed there.
He has placed within all of our hearts a hunger.
The problem is that when a person doesn’t understand what’s going on, they think if that if I had this and her and him and that, I’d be satisfied.
Only god can satisfy the human life.
And you know, I could say that ten thousand times and people would hear it and walk right away trying to fulfill this place for intimacy with something else.
It doesn’t work. It takes time.
So you say, well, I’m already fifty years old. Get started.
Get started. Let me ask you this. What’s what’s more important than your personal relationship with him?
And think about this. All of us have certain people we like to talk to. Right?
There’s certain people you like to talk to and certain people you like to listen to. Think about this.
We have the privilege of listening to Holy god.
Now once in a while, somebody will say, let me tell you what god said to me, and I said, he didn’t say that.
Well, who are you to tell me he did?
And I said, because it contradicts the word of god, and god doesn’t contradict himself.
that certain things he doesn’t say. He makes it very clear.
He will show you the truth about himself. He he listen.
He will show you the truth about himself through his word, but he will also show you the truth about himself in life.
develop a listening heart, a listening spirit.
And that reason people make wrong decisions is because they don’t listen to him. One thing you can
bet for sure, he will never mislead you. You know why I know that?
Because he is a god of purity. righteousness and truthfulness. He cannot deceive. He cannot mislead.
He cannot do anything. that would be a contradiction to who he is.
This very god is living on the inside of you and the person of the Holy Spirit He’s there. Why?
Because it is his spirit that speaks to our spirit. It is his life connecting to our life.
you say, well, but I’m not I’m not worthy of all that.
The next time you feel that a way, you just remember this, that the cross is god’s one and final testimony to his awesome unconditional love for you, no matter what.
He does care about you, and he wants to work in your life his awesome grace and love and mercy.
