Heightened Awareness

 

Have you ever just thought of someone you wanted to call or visit. And when you call them, and you find out it was a miracle moment that God actually directed you to make that call. You realised that the person was going through a rough patch and suddenly you call them. Jesus made a statement he said my sheep know my voice. Amen. There's a familiarity to the voice of God to the life of a Believer so much so that there are times where I would have thought it was simply my desire to call a person and later, I find out afterwards it was the voice of God, living immersed in Christ, puts us in a place where we constantly are hearing that familiar voice. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27)

 

During our choir practice, our leader asks "do you know this song? and name the song". Without the song being played, but as soon as they mentioned that song you could hear it. you weren't aware of it. Your awareness became suddenly heightened to that sound when somebody mentioned, and you could hear it. God is looking for us to have a heightened awareness of His presence. He is constantly talking to us. The noises around us are restricting from hearing Him. The surroundings deafened us.

 

it's like Jacob said when he woke up from that dream he said God is here and I didn't even know it (Genesis 28:16). Heightened awareness to a reality that existed before he was aware. It was made aware by the Holy Spirit lives in you. He's also called paraclete. I've had certain things happen to me through the years where I became unusually aware of of him and it's terrifying and wonderful all at the same time. The word of God is perfectly fit to speak into any and every given situation.

 

May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus and we are always aware of His presence.

Prayer that can move the Mountains

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. (Matthew 21:21)

Power to move the mountains? What is the weapon for it? Just Words!!! Not just words, but Words of utmost faith.

Jesus again told “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Matthew 21:22)

Not just the power to move the mountains, instead whatever you ask for in prayer, you will receive. Whatever be it, if you pray in complete faith, you will receive it. 

Major reason for our faith to go in vain is because we ourselves believe that our prayer is not answered because it is not the will of the God!! It is very well true that God will not answer those prayers which are against the will of the God. But we don’t realise that God wants to answer most of our prayers. It is the will of the God that the children of God should overcome the financial crisis. It is the will of God to heal the sick, it is the will of the God to cast down the demons, and it is the will of the God to raise the dead. (Matthew 10:7-8). If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5) It is the will of the God that His children should live the life in absolute health and prosperity (3 John 1:2). You will live and reign (Romans 5:17) together in Christ

For the same reason God wanted us to increase our faith. For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding (Colossians 1:9)

God wanted us to know and believe that we are blessed in heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) God wanted us to know and believe that we are raised up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6)

If we expect the failure and think that we have failed, and walk with unbelief, our prayers will not be answered. Prayer is not our last hope, it is path for prosperity, and it is the first step towards success.

If you need to be saved from the demons, released from the financial crisis, grace to be loved, healing for the sick, there is no reason why our Heavenly Father will not bless us.

So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:20)We have enough scriptures with His promises in our Holy Bible. We, as the loving children are here to claim those promises and give glory to the Lord.
