Running ahead of God
June 4, 2011
Isaiah 40:31 31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Oh No!!!! I’m all over the place in my thinking. Plotting, planning, coming, and going, over thinking situations. I’m doing this and doing that. I’m thinking I must be running ahead of God. How do I know? I’m tired, I feel weak, a little faint and I’m crawling around. I’m trying so hard to do many things and I’m really going nowhere. My mind is not as calm as it should be and this causes me to……you got it….run ahead of God.
The Lord is telling me to wait on Him let Him and He will lead me in every area of my life. He showed me in a vision a man and a woman dancing. Both people are trying to lead while they are dancing. They are a mess, they can’t do it. They’re struggling stepping on each other’s feet and they both get frustrated, discouraged, angry and eventually quit dancing.
One person just needs to submit and stop trying to run the show, wait for the other person to lead and they will be able to dance. If we wait on God we’ll be able manage ANY situation….not only manage but fly over them.
God will let me run ahead of Him and when I realize that I’m too far out ahead of Him I turn around and look and say to myself, “God where are you?” It’s such an awful feeling to feel you are alone in your situation and it’s just sneaks up on you. Whenever I feel myself running ahead of God I know that’s a time to wait, stop and pray.
This morning after I finish writing this message, I’m going to meditate on the scripture above, think about different areas of my life and see where I’m running ahead of God either in my thinking or doing and I’m going wait on the Lord in those areas.
There are rewards in doing this…..I won’t faint…..I can walk up rightly…….I won’t be weary…..I’ll be able to run with God……. .And I’ll mount up and fly.
I believe I can fly………………….If I wait on the Lord that is !!!! 🙂
Massage for today: Stop!….Just stop running! All those things that you are worried about, all the things you gotta do before you pray about it…. stop!…. Now wait just a minute…………..wait I say!…………..on the Lord.
Reach out and touch

Psalms 138:7 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.
This morning as I prayed I was so blessed by what God showed me. The storms of life, which is anything that involves me that is very difficult for me to go through, are coming. It could be a real storm like a tornado, hurricane, or a just a bad rain storm. It could be a loss of a job, a life, health or someone I loves health. Any situation can be a storm but…………
God showed me His hand reaching out for me! I see a vision of God reaching for me and as I grab His hand and hold on to Him the fear that had scared me vanished and I felt so comforted. Tears are filling my eyes as I write this. The fear that I had is swept away by the grace of God my Father.
I am afflicted with a chronic illness and when I got up this morning I wasn’t feeling well….in fact I was scared because what I suffer from is scary. I needed this vision of the Lord reaching out and touching me. The word of God says His mercies are new EVERY morning GREAT, do you hear me GREAT is His faithfulness!!! Can I get an Amen?
God is telling me that no matter what I go through and no matter how much the storm is raging to reach out to Him in prayer and ask for His help in the name of His precious son…. JESUS.
There is awesome POWER in that name. Jesus has a lot of experience with testing and trials. He definitely knows about storms and knows just how to quiet one. We are in the hands of an experienced and knowledgeable God. God’s skills are incomprehensible to us. But it’s a good thing we don’t have to understand all of His awesomeness; we just have to trust Him like a little child. When a child is hurting they reach out for their parents……reach out for your Abba Father….I know I did today! God bless you all.
Message for today: God says He is waiting to help you in your hour of need. He says as the storms of life are raging all around us and that Jesus has ALL POWER in His hands to pull you through, even getting in there with you so you will never be alone.
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
Be giving….bless others

Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.(NIV)
This morning I heard God planning with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and some of His angels on assignment. They need to send certain blessing, miracles and answered prayers to many of His children on earth who have been praying for help. Some of these blessing were things that God just wanted to do special for certain people.
In their planning they are discussing those who will help on earth. They say “this one won’t help they are too busy, or this one will only take care of his own. This one is too stingy and this one is selfish. But there are many people who God can depend on to do His will. They will give the shirts off their back and are willing to help God anytime He asks. They are such a blessing to God and make the words of the bible come to life by their actions.
God will use anyone and anything to bring blessing to His children. His answers to us in our hour of need are ALWAYS PERFECT.
I hear God saying that He wants people to be compassionate. He says look around and use your eyes, ears and heart to feel the needs around you and act. HE says He’s not asking anyone to save the world but if everyone would obey when he touches a heart to act and move in a certain way to bless another person it would please Him.
Many times He is so moved by a persons compassion that He will send blessing to the one who helps. He will also send extra increase to people who do His will because He knows He can trust them to share the blessing.
Compassionate….. is one of the most beautiful words in the English language. It is an action word that when one does it, it will have a rippling effect in the lives of others.
Message for today – “Use your hands, your time, money, and heart to be compassionate and giving towards others. Listen for my lead…I will show you….I’ll give you all you need to bless others in love.”
2 Corinthians 9:6-15 6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 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. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (NIV)

This is the day…..the day of my first blog. It’s all so new and exciting.
This morning as I prayed the Spirit of God reminded me of His holiness. Oh the Holiness of God. In my prayer time I worshiped the Lord and found myself in a place where He allows me to worship Him. As I prayed I could feel His presence all around me. It was powerful and so awesome. I wish I could stay there. I heard these words: Holy, Holy,Holy is the Lord. I have been in this place of worship many times. I have seen smoke and beautiful sights.
I close my eyes and I pray more… seeking to know more of Him. A place of worship is what He showed me today. There is not a lot of color, just smoke, a room, the presence of others worshiping. I don’t see God but only feel His presence in the throne room of Holy worship. I feel so privileged to be able to worship God in this unique way, God who doesn’t hide Himself from His creations. He is available to all who seek Him and my heart soooo seeks after God.
God is soooooo Holy. There are really no words to express what I feel in my heart and what I’ve seen.
A scripture that overwhelms me is – Isaiah 6:1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Just reading this causes my heart to bow in worship.
Who is this Holy God?
He is a supernatural being who is worthy of reverence adoring passionate worship
He is morally perfect in every way.
Has total knowledge and authority over everything.
He is the master and ruler over the ENTIRE universe.
He has been always in existence and will always be.
He is righteous in all that He says and does.
He is a consuming fire and everything that is not pure will be burnt up because He is Holy.
He has enemies.
He sacrificed His only son for mankind’s redemption.
He is full of compassion and He is Love.
He is Good.
He is very creative.
He’s easy to talk to.
He laughs and has emotions.
He loves music…. after all He created it.
These are things that I found out through reading the bible and my prayer times.
Jesus is coming back
Message for today:
Jesus is coming back soon…..are you ready?
Mark 13:32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by . I’m sure you must be curious about what God is speaking to me about. As a young child I have spoken to God. I was introduced to him by my parents as a toddler and also in Sunday school. I wrote him letters as a child and just talked to Him. One day I asked Him to help me with something that was very important to me and He answered that prayer. From that day on I was a true believer that God was real and He answers prayer.
I became totally committed to God in 1984 and since that day I have had unbelievable prayer times with the Lord. God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit are such a major part of my life. I want to share things from my prayer times on a regular basis. I feel this is a journey I want and need to take in my life right now. I’m a 10 year breast cancer survivor and VERY happy to be alive today. I’m going to share messages from the Lord as well as testimonies and stories. Please feel free to subscribe to my blog. God bless you in every way!
God is truly amazing and He amazes me everyday.
Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for
him with all your heart and with all your soul.
God bless you!
