Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
Amos 3:9 NKJV
As we peruse down memory lane, we will find God revealing to Noah about wiping out mankind with a flood due to the sin in the land. If we go a little further we're reminded of God asking the question if He should tell Abraham about Him annihilating Sodom and Gomorrah with fire because of their egregious sin toward Him.
Our day is no different from what was demonstrated in the past with God speaking to His prophets. Some believe that prophets are not of today's time, but I strongly disagree. Yes God speaks to all who will listen, but as in the days of old, He has anointed and appointed certain people to be able to know certain things the enemy may be planning and cause His anointed to speak words of warning. Believe me when I say, there were anointed people of God who knew this pandemic would hit and they knew about it sometime ago.
What are you saying preacha...I'm saying God will not have His people ignorant to things concerning them, things that could take them by surprise. We won't know everything, but someone WILL know something concerning the welfare of mankind. Who wouldn't want to serve a God like that!!!! Try the spirit by the spirit and heed the warnings you know to be from God. Let's not be like the people during Noah's days. If you remember, no one in the land heeded the warning. The ONLY people on the Ark were Noah's family. Let that not be us!
If God be for us, who can be against us?

Doing the Father's Will
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 1 John 2:17 NKJV
Everything that is in the world is deteriorating, losing value and will ultimately pass away. Things as we once knew them, have changed drastically and new measures have been put into place. Those things too, will also come to an end.
The message in today's verse is trying to get us to see that everything in this world is temporal and will be no more. The material things we want, the status we try to attain...all will pass away! But those of us who chooses to do the will of the Father will remain forever. Now the question is, what is the will of the Father? I'm so glad you asked that! It is the Father's will that none perish, but all will have eternal life, through Christ Jesus. Will this be...no, but it is still His will. Some will outright reject Him, but it is up to us to stay prayerful and to purposefully share the love of Christ with all we come in contact with.
Are you spreading the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the will of our Father???

Did You Hear That?
Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
Have you ever experienced being in a conversation with someone but felt as though the person wasn't listening? Often times people aren't listening because they are distracted and something else has their attention.
In today's text God is encouraging us to call out to Him in prayer: prayer of repentance, prayer of necessity, prayer for help, prayer of thanksgiving; just to pray as to have conversation with Him. But since we know conversation is a two-way street, it's vital that as we expect God to hear us, that we listen to Him as well. Here's where we fall short...we all want to hear from God, but are we truly listening. Do we expect to hear from Him? Do we want to hear what He has to say? The Scripture confirms that when we talk to Him, He will answer.
Don't allow your focus to be on your circumstances and distract you from quality time with the Father, but rather let it be on listening to what He has to say. The bonus to hearing God is that He will show us great and mighty things that we don't know. I'm sure we all can do better in this area!
Let's develop a better listening ear so we can better discern His voice when He calls back to us!
Ya heard???

Turn It On
Then God said, let there be light; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:3-4
In our finite wisdom many of us believe God is still creating. Let me put your minds at ease...He is not. Everything necessary for this world (mankind included) was created in the beginning. In this day and age we tend to confuse creation with manifestation. Everything we need to accomplish our God-given purpose, has been placed inside of us and is waiting on the appointed time to manifest. This is why we pray, thy kingdom come, thy will be done...on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN! In our text we see that God created light to be good. That same "good light" resides in every believer of God and His Son: we only need to turn it on!
I know we may be in situations, circumstances and even physically in places where we feel it may be challenging to walk in the light. But times like those are the very moments we need to do so. Most people in darkness don't realize they need light, so whenever we have the opportunity to shine light, we need to turn it on.
Are you the light of the world? Is your light constantly turned on? Then shine it in the name of the Lord! People are waiting for YOUR light.
