SPIRITUAL RECEPTIVITY


   So often we react instead of praying and waiting on God to give clarification to the direction He wants us to move.  All too often it's either us or the demonic realm running the show when we react without all the facts or insight from God.  I am the first to raise my hand and humbly admit this struggle...
    During my recent 'close encounter' with the Holy Spirit and the spirit realm, I had either an angel or a very strong godly man say to me, "Good things come to those that wait..."  and in my heart, I proceeded to finish it, "on the Lord!"  That day, my journey began learning how to wait and ask God for His insight.
     I made it my goal to never react to anything, but to wait and pray to God for clear direction.  It has paid off in ways I can't even explain!   Truly good things do come to those that wait on the Lord!
     A couple months later, I had a woman at the Christian Bible bookstore say to me, "He delays us for a reason."  She said it twice to me.  Let me just say - God wanted to make a point that day!  The next two places I went, God proved this truth to me!   He truly does orchestrate our paths so that we come across those He wants us to bless, encourage or exhort.  Or possibly, to teach us a lesson...
    We grumble over everything that we think are mistakes or problems.  Yet these troublesome things are just God interjecting a catalyst to move us in the direction He wants us to go for His purpose far greater than we can even imagine!  If our perspective is not focused on God's Sovereignty in it all, and we accept it as our own mistakes or blunders, then we will, more than likely, end up listening and accepting what Satan has to offer (fear, resentment, self pity, etc),  This satanic bondage we bring upon ourselves will hinder the full work of God in and through us.

    When we are walking with Him, nothing we do is a mistake or a problem!  Remember,  His ways are not our ways!   He, the great I AM, knows how to lead, direct and guide us far better than anyone!
