the big THEN.
Just a little over two weeks ago, The Lord was dealing with me about several things in my life that I had seemingly ignored. My walk with God in the past three years has been an absolute delight. I have naturally had trials, but I am always amazed to see God moving and to see myself growing in HIM. Because I am so on fire, I constantly find myself asking of God to help me to the Next level of Glory.
"Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him." James 1:5
I was however, sometimes impatient, wondering why I was not yet where I wanted to be in God. I would dig more, press harder, pray longer. Yet I still wasnt really seeing the results that I knew God could give.
"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," Ephesians 3:20
Then I came to a point where I sought out wisdom like never before, I kept thinking that the word of God says "I shall not want" and diggidy-darn-darn it, I am tired of wanting!
2 Chronicles 7:14 CHANGED MY LIFE! "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
I couldnt help but notice the "THEN I will heal there land." This showed me that there was a recipe for allowing God to hear my prayer in a responsive way. Naturally God can "hear" all of our prayers. But this reffers to the type of hearing that causes God to respond. To heal. To repair. To restore. To fulfill (woooo I am getting excited just typing this. I'm about to dance up out my clothes yall). This is our recipe for success.
I then understood that if I was lacking before it was because I failed to complete the recipe. In my particular situation, I noticed several areas that were "wicked ways" and I had just not noticed before, or I ignored. So with the power of the hily Ghost, I took drastic steps to remove those things from my life, I did some serious cutting away...and it was certainly painful...but I did learn something...Love/Faith/Belief require action. If you say you want an area of your life to change, then you will change it. At the end of the day if its not changed, then you didnt really want it. Likewise before I didn't want to let go of the things that stood in my way. Well about two and a half weeks ago I let go and THEN He heard my prayer and healed my land.
The last part to this is that, although I was restored in Jesus, there were things that were out of my reach. I simply cannot spend my time trying to convince the people around me that my land is healed. IT JUST IS. The enemy began to attack and me, my God, and my land made it through fairly easily, but the people observing had no faith in the change. When you receive your breakthrough, you don't have to spend all day trying to convice people of it. Just enjoy your healed land and rejoice in the Lord. Others will come around and if they don't. Show them the recipe ;)

Pride
Proverbs 11:2 reads "When pride cometh, then cometh shame:but with the lowly is wisdom"
Pride is a terrible thing that many of us struggle with. I am willing to admit that I have struggled with it big time. I have found that in the past I truly dispised being wrong, and would go to extreme lengths to win arguments just to protect my pride.
Then after diving into the word of God and recieving revalation I decided to do it God's way! LET ME TELL YOU...it was one of the most freeing descisions of my life. I realized that in my obediance I had the Lord with me... and "where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty!"
I found that when I chose the route of humility, I was actually set free by my integrity...It is refreshing to know that "it is what it is" instead of "it" being a lie. This was so beneficial to me, I thought I would share it with you all.

Preperation and servitude
"Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask."
"What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory."
"You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"
"We can," they answered. Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared."
When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10: 35-45
Is that powerful or what?
You know I often quote the portion of scripture that says Jesus "did not come to be served, but to serve" but reading this passage in its entirety was really an eye opener. According to the scripture above the greatness that is ahead of us is determined the servitude we display now.
so of course the question is "How many of you are serving?"
we know that the word tells up "the harvest is pleantious but the laborers are few"
but how many of us are really laborers? Because the scripture speaks for itself I want to encourage us all to serve in the kingdom of God. Don't just get your ticket and have a seat.
Many of us may not know what to do but seel God, and PURPOSE TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIM! in your servitude you will be great. When you are presented with men and women of God, serve God by serving them. Paul had Timothy, Moses had Aaron, Elijah had Elisha. Jesus had 13 of em! lol.
Remember as noted in Mark above "whoever wants to become GREAT among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be FIRST must be slave of all. "
Peace and blessings. .5
