Seek God's Hidden Truths

Jeremiah 33:3

"Call to me, and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known."

Have you ever called a friend, intending to share something important, only for the conversation to take a completely different direction? By the end, you never got the chance to tell them the good news you had prepared.

Did you know that God wants to talk to you? When we seek the Lord with our whole heart and call upon His name, He responds. God is ready to reveal things we don't yet know—things the Bible tells us are hidden. But sometimes, we miss what He wants to share with us.

Often, after calling on Him, we pour out out troubles, vent our frustrations, and then forget to pause and listen. Yet, God desires to speak powerful truths into our lives. He longs to reveal deep things to us, but if we only seek Him to solve our problems, we may miss hearing His heart.

God is always available to hear our cries—

Cries of distress, brokenness, suffering, and pain. He wants us to unload our burdens, cares, and frustrations. But more than that, He wants us to seek Him simply to know Him.

Take the time this week to pause and listen, you never know what is going to share.

The Spring and The Light

"Within you is the spring of life. In your light we see light." Psalm 36:7 CEB

God is our source for everything. Without him we would be lost, confused and without hope. As a believer, we have access to the spring of life. He is continually pouring into us what we so desperately need. God is the only one that can truly satisfy our soul and quench our thirst to be filled with his transformational light.

I can imagine that every time worship goes up, praise goes up, prayers like a sweet-smelling aroma goes up, God is pouring out of his life-giving spring supplying our needs. He begins to pour out his Spirit of love, grace, mercy, peace, joy, strength, knowledge, wisdom, healing and deliverance into our lives. When we think of God's outpouring or blessings, we must remember not to limit it to material things. God's desire is to bless us with the intangible things that never lose its value. It’s time to put away the things we value that doesn’t bring enrichment into our lives or can save us from sinful desires.

He is the only one that can make us whole from the inside out. The finest things in life can never fill the void of the emptiness we feel; only God can. When our outward appearance does not match what's on the inside, we are creating a façade that will eventually faulter. Our heavenly Father knows that we can never find wholeness on our own. His love sent his son, Jesus to the cross so that we can lay claim to new life in him. His all-powerful redeeming blood bridged the gap that through him we may obtain the intangible blessings of God. In Christ we have gained a life worth living.

We are able to walk in his light that illuminates every area of our heart and dispels and repels the sin that shows up in our lives. When we stand in the light of God, he begins to show us the various things we need to address and create in us a contrite heart. The Spirit of God comes to bring illumination and revelation into our souls so we can align our lives to his word and remain in his light.

Today, ask God to pour into you today and shed his light into your hearts and minds so that you can live conscientiously for him.

Stick with IT!

"But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:6

Do not waver in what you are asking for God. If it lines up with his word and his will then don't relent. Doubts may come because what you are waiting for has not yet manifested. However, it's your faith that will keep you connected to the very thing you are waiting on.

The enemy is always working overtime, actually triple time to see you let go and give up on your prayers. One of the main tactics in achieving this is introducing doubt to your mind. The scripture tells us that doubt has the ability to make us unstable and easily influenced. If you can be swayed, then you can be talked out of the very thing you are desiring from the Lord.

The enemy will present to your mind with all the different scenarios that could go wrong or suggest things that are contrary to God's plans for your life. In Genesis, he is characterized as cunning, always bring an argument with half truths. Nevertheless, we have the precious Holy Spirit that will guide us into ALL truth.

The truth of the matter is...if God wants you to have it, the devil is going to try and grab it.

If you are believing God, leave it right there, the throne of grace. Believe him and don't doubt. If doubt comes, give it the boot and openly declare I WILL TRUST THE LORD.

When we refuse what the enemy is offering, our trust in God is strengthen and becomes a pillar of steadfastness against the enemy. You will become firm and unmoved; knowing that your faith is keeping you anchored in God.
