I finally know what to do after the boards. Hallelujah! I will not go through the details of how God dealt with me this morning but I just wanted to share the verses that were shown to me and that, I believe, will encourage you to continue pursuing God in passionate patience. I share this with you as a testimony to how mightily and wonderfully the Lord answers prayers. What I love about it is the "journey" that got me to this point of my faith and how God has taken my relationship with Him to another level. From glory to glory indeed! Praise God with me, guys!
2 Cor. 1:20-22 (The Message): " Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In Him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God's Yes and our Yes together within us. By His Spirit, He has stamped us with His eternal pledge---a sure beginning of what He has destined to complete." (Italics mine)
Isaiah 58:11 (The Message): "I will always show you where to go. I'll give you a full life in the emptiest of places---firm muscles, strong bones." (Italics mine)
Isaiah 48:6-7
(NASB): "I proclaim to you new things from this time. Even hidden things which you have not known. They are created now and not long ago; And before today, you have not heard them." (Italics mine)
(The Message): "And that was just the beginning. I have a lot more to tell you, things you never knew existed. This isn't a variation on the same old thing. This is new, brand-new, something you'd never guess or dream up." (Italics mine)
And so it is! Remember how I talked in my previous entry about how God is a God of suddenlies? Well, well, God likes to prove Himself, doesn't He?!
I know this will be a mountain to climb but God is greater and bigger than my fears and circumstances. I'm not an excellent student but God is an excellent God. He doesn't operate in the real world so don't be disheartened when things don't look peachy. He fields crazy dreams when it's something He's placed in your heart. Passionate patience will get us from one point to the next UNTIL we see the manifestation of our faith. I prayed for this for three months and thank God I didn't abandon my pursuit! Don't worry, God also promised this in 2 Cor. 2:14 (The Message): " In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade." And, as Pastor Joseph Prince teaches, all the promises of God are yes! and amen!
Isaiah 26 says, "People with their minds set on You, You keep completely whole, Steady on their feet because they keep at it and don't quit. Depend on God and keep at it because in the Lord God, you have a sure thing." (The Message)
If anything, all of this means that I will have more adventures with God. He will take me to new heights. He will stretch the borders of my life. That's what He does---He brings a full life in the emptiest of places. He redeemed us to be strong, victorious, vibrant. Isaiah 58 says that we will be like a "well-watered garden, a gurgling spring that never runs dry."
You, dear daughter and son of God, ARE a restorer, a rebuilder, a renovator.
Believe it and live it!
