Anticipate God's Involvement!

By



“Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways.” (Isaiah 64:4–5)

In these verses, we see an example of the soak, sow, and flow principle. Isaiah reaped from the Spirit a response in direct correlation to his relationship with God.  This gives us insight into how God moves and works in the life of the believer who has a heart that is hungering and thirsting for his presence!  When we spend time with God, we will experience the power that flows from the Holy Spirit.  It is the Holy Spirit who enables us to perform the activities that God has planned for us!

It is the Holy Spirit who reveals to us what God wants us to do.  It is the Holy Spirit who opens the doors of opportunity that enable us to accomplish the works God has set for us to do.  It is the Holy Spirit who makes us into instruments that God can use.  It is the Holy Spirit who engineers the circumstances that allow us to respond to God’s will.  We have nothing except what we have received from him.

The prospect that God, our Creator, is active in our lives and circumstances through the work of the Holy Spirit is exciting!  It is both wonderful and encouraging to know that God has plans for each one of us, and that it is he who will fulfill those plans through us.      

 
Heart Deposit: 
Are you anticipating God's involvement in the details of your life? Think back over the past week.  Where was God actively involved?  At what times did you acknowledge his presence?  In what ways can you be more sensitive to his direction and leading?

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
