Will You?

By
Hab 2:3 But these things I plan won't happen right away.  Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.  If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place.  It will not be delayed.” [with emphasis]

Now that we have gotten rid of the challenges to fine tuning, we will turn our focus to fine-tuning and learn how to fine-tune from two prophets in the Bible - Habakkuk in the Old Testament and John the Baptist in the New Testament. Please read Luke 3:1-2 and Habakkuk 2:1-3. With God’s plans and promises, sometimes it appears as if God is slow. But God assures us that even if it appears to be slow, the only thing we are to do is to wait for it.
“Slow… will not be delayed”- is that a contradiction? Yes, God uses contradictions but still He assures you and I that steadily and surely, it will come to pass.

I do not know what you are trusting God for this season but I am here to say to you, it is going to come to pass. I have been following Jesus for over twenty years now and I can confidently tell you that God is reliable; totally reliable. He may appear slow but follow Jesus. By the time He turns around the captivity, you would be like them that dream. And the waiting period would seem totally insignificant. Wait on the Lord. We are going to be learning six things from these two prophets about fine-tuning to the Holy Spirit.

Lesson #1: I must want to hear God. I must desire to hear God’s voice and to do His will. Habakkuk said, “I will climb up…”. John the Baptist left the normal human settlement and went into the wilderness. Such moves are born out of a desire. You will not hear God unless you really want to hear God. David says in Psalm 85:8 [GW], ““I want to hear what God the Lord says…”  [with emphasis].

But it actually goes beyond hearing God to wanting to obey God. Psa.40:8 [NCV] “My God, I want to do what You want.” In the areas of life where you appear to be in a fix or you are experiencing a dilemma, whose will do you really want, your will or God’s will? God always speaks to people that decide in advance to obey Him. Psa.119:20 “What I want most of all and at all times is to honor Your laws.” [CEV, with emphasis]. This means that for those who hear God speak, the Words He says are not an option. Do them!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that You are reliable. I want to hear Your voice, Lord and I ask for the grace to do Your Words as You speak, in Jesus Name. Amen!

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...
