“Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;” Job 38:25
Though a bolt of lightning may not be exactly straight, God does direct its path so it will hit the exact mark He intended. So too, even if you go a little crooked at times, if you completely trust the Lord with your life, you will hit the exact mark He expects you to. Of course, that mark is Christ.
“And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?” Job 38:11
If God made boundaries and parameters for even water, how much more will He have them for the people whom He loves?
“And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Luke 1:17
Believer’s in this generation must fulfill the same call that John the Baptist had, “… to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” So many of us are convinced we are at the last ticks of the clock till the Lord returns, we must sound the alarm, get right, be ready, the Lord is coming.”
“Thou shalt not kill.” Exodus 20:13
The better translation is thou shall not murder. Guns and knives don’t murder people, hate does. Take away hate there will be no more murder.
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” Colossians 1:14
No matter if you are rich and famous, poor and unnoticed, every believer starts at forgiven.
“And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.” Job 29:23
There are those waiting today, with mouth open wide, to catch the drops of the latter rain. Oh God, pour out Your Spirit one more time on this generation.
“After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.” Job 29:22
It is only when a person speaks under the anointing of the Holy Spirit that words will fall heavy upon people.
“And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 48And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.” Mark 10:46-48
Lord, help us to hear every person who cries out to see spiritual things.
“But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.” Mark 6:4
Thank God for missionaries. I believe in them and support many of them. However, if you want to be one, just make sure it is not because you want to receive the honor that you would not get back home.
“And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.” Mark 4:24
It is those who want to hear what God says, and obey what they hear, who are the ones who will have the privilege of hearing more.
