When is the last time God revealed something to you and you went seeking confirmation from man? Do you not trust what God said?
The Struggle
Two weeks ago I prayed and as God began to reveal the heart of man I went into denial. I was seeking to ignore that which I had prayed for and God revealed. Even after God gave me a dream, I still did not want to come to grips with the truth that was in front of me.
As a result, I went calling my fiancé and parents to recant my dilemma seeking their feedback. Had God not spoken?
The Search for Validation
Why do we go out searching for humans to validate the word of God. Why do we trust human wisdom above the sovereignty and omniscience of the Lord? He knows all and is in all, so why do we trust men with our decision making more than God?
When we start actively searching for people to support or agree with the message or assignment God has given us, we’re now entering into dangerous ground.
If God says move left, move! If God says quit your job, stop calling other people asking what they think. The Lord has spoken. Trust His Sovereignty.
The Truth
This message came to me so heavy, as I am dealing with a lot of shifts and changes in my life. I feel like I don’t understand anything that God is doing. Why is He removing people, telling me to stop eating this, or sending me on assignments that make me uncomfortable and fear looking weird aka the crazy church lady?
All I know is I have to trust God! If I want to see His supernatural abilities spiritually, financially, in my career, and all the other areas of my life; I have to give God room to blow my mind.
We can’t miss our Elisha moment because we aren’t where we’re supposed to be. The Ask of God + Our Obedience = The Supernatural. We must be prepared to be elevated in every aspect of our lives.
And that only happens when we Trust What God Said.
“David remarked longingly to his men, “Oh, how I would love some of that good water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem.” So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew some water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as an offering to the Lord. “The Lord forbid that I should drink this!” he exclaimed. “This water is as precious as the blood of these men who risked their lives to bring it to me.” So David did not drink it.”
P.S. Even as I was looking for the scripture to put at the bottom of this post, I was going to use an Elijah story. But, God told me to go to 2 Samuel 23. As I started reading, He said go to verse 15 as I started to read it, the first sentence didn’t make a connection with the post. Therefore, I said this must not be it. But as I got down and finish reading verse 17, I said, “ok Lord now I see why you wanted me to start at 15.”
All that to say even after writing this post, I still haven’t surrendered to trusting what the Lord has said. ????
P.S.S. Stop doubting whether know and hear the voice of God, you do because He is our Shepherd.<<<<<<< <<<<<< ;<<<<< t;<<<< gt;<<< ><< p>< /p>
