Do you ever have those moments when you want to SHOUT to the world – I mean the W H O L E world around you – how much God has done for you and where He’s brought you from? Don’t you often wish there was a way you could get on social media and have a zap button that would instantly send your testimony to every human being alive that is dealing with what you’ve gone through, to strengthen and encourage them?
Perhaps there is. You see, we live in an age that is like none other. No matter what you are struggling with, working to achieve, need a diagnosis for and on and on, you have a tool at your fingertips that will allow you by typing in just a few short words, to go to your desired topic of interest and find page after page of advice. You can gain wisdom from the greatest national voices all the way down to Granny-who-knows blogging from her front porch. And may I add that sometimes we all need a little advice from Granny, instead of searching out the greatest latest voices.
But there is a Voice which has rung throughout the ages of time, and still remains the Greatest of all. I am thankful we live in this time where I can pull up youtube and listen to messages from those with national platforms who have spent their lives before God, allowing Him to pour into them so they may share with us how to unpack mysteries and messages in scripture that helps to break chains and open greater doors of understanding.
I’m thankful I can go to Facebook and tap into my church’s page and listen to sermons over and over that so impacted me that hearing it once just wasn’t enough, or as my pastor puts it “just a little dab won’t do you.”
But of every voice, every sermon and every song ever sung there is One who still rings louder, stands taller and shouts farther than any other voice. Regardless of what you are going through, how high the mountain you’re facing or how spectacular the blessing is you’ve just received, there is a way to share this moment with every human being alive that is in need of hearing about what you have experienced. It doesn’t require a national platform, a microphone or plane trip to share it. All that is required is a journey. A moment of you taking God’s word and journeying into your prayer closet, shutting the door behind you and entering into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Pouring out your heart before Him and allowing Him to take you to the place in scripture that tells the story of what you have just experienced. It’s there – in some form or fashion you will always find “life today” embedded in the stories, parables and psalms of that inspired book, penned by men but written from the very heart of God, the holy Bible.
I am right now snapping back in gear after a minor surgical procedure a few days ago. As I awoke this morning I grabbed my ice pack, hot tea, reading glasses and Bible and just sat giving God praise — just Because! There is no reason greater to Love Him and Serve Him than “Just because”. You see, I don’t have to try to measure up, do something spectacular, make something happen or anything else. All I need to do is – be me. That’s it. That’s what we were created for, is to Be who God made us to be. Once we get that settled, then out of our inner man will flow all God has destined for us to do. Yes you will find yourself doing, because God’s word says to be a Doer of the word and not a Hearer only (James 1:22), but our “doing” must spring from an overflow of living in His Presence, feasting upon His Word. If it comes from a life of striving instead of a heart of serving, it will eventually burn-out. The bible doesn’t merely say to be doers. It says to be doers Of His Word.
So grab your Word, enter your prayer closet, fasten your seatbelt and Journey into the Heart of the Father. And as you do, find the events in the Bible that are what you have experienced that you want to share with Every One in need of an answer for this same area, and Pray.
Ask your Heavenly Father to go to every human being in need of this answer and reveal His solution to them. Pray that He dispatch the angel He has assigned to them to go to them and reveal Himself unto them.
Through prayer, you can reach farther and wider than any social media platform. You can go to any nation and people in need of any thing and deliver Heaven’s answer. No, you won’t be seen to receive the glory for it. No one may ever know it was “you” who called forth the miracle from Heaven that brought deliverance to them, but God knows and He is an Awesome Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him!
