When Jehoshaphat heard the (it’s-troubles) were coming against him, he first did fear. You will have those experiences in a real-life story and don’t know what to do as we refer to this story in the Bible. He set himself to seek the Lord. He was determined to hear from God and even fasted throughout the land. For that purpose, he knew he needed to hear from God. He needed a battle plan, and only God could give him one guaranteed to be successful. In other words, God’s battle plan is to combat fear by hearing and hearing the Word of God, as Romans 10:17 teaches us NKJV. God may speak to us by giving us peace, comfort, encouragement, insights, calming our troubled emotions, or filling our hearts with the assurance that everything will be alright in a particular situation. In 2004, when I had God’s call, I was confused, scared of the unknown, and didn’t know what to do. I started seeking God in2005.
The ministries that I partnered with had a tremendous impact on me. How I thanked the author and finisher of my faith, the Holy Spirit, dealt with me. It guided me to the anointing Ministries as my divine teachers. Their teachings have impacted me significantly due to their spirit-filled preaching, divine assignment, experience in life, and anointing that I got from them or flowed in me. So, I am also sharing with you what I learned from them.
Meaning it also refers to you who read this. Maybe you picked this up because it could be just the right time for you to need it, for you’re desperate for some reason or hungry and thirsty for the Word of God in my silent years. I grabbed whatever my mother sent me, searching for a Christian bookstore where I could find them. The Lord will search for you by giving any representative or man of God, for there is a great purpose and plan for your life. Do you think I can write this book without the teachings from those Ministries? I am also thankful for the revivalist Christian authors. You can pick even from anyone who has the same God’s call from them, for you’re being directed and guided by the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Alpha and Omega. It refers to you, too! Does it speak to you?
Psalm 30:20-21 says, How excellent is Your goodness that You have restored up for those who fear You and accomplished in the sight of everyone for those who take refuge in You. You hide them in the protection of Your Presence. You conceal them in a shelter from the schemes of men, from the quarrelsome tongue.” (AMP).
Thanks be to God. I’ve been protected from the schemes of men. I couldn’t understand why I lost my friends in those years. I thought we shifted to another place where our children live. I’ve been grateful for God providing me and maybe you. My husband is retired, and we stayed at home. I have company, so I was pursuing and seeking God. He did all the work needed in our households, even answering the phone and organizing things. Going to church is not enough, but I’ve been supplied with either books, tapes, or CDs from the Christian books store and ministries. Who can tell me? Yes, the Bible is always a must, but you need experience from another anointing man to teach us. I was being provided and supplied with faith-filled anointing materials.
So, what do you want to use or apply this by faith? How PRAISE will please God as the Word said, God has done it for you. Believe and receive it, and that’s already done. Despite all kinds of things, it’s part of faith. Thank God what we can see and what we can’t see is already done, for we walk by faith, not by sight (see 2 Corinthians 5:7). We’re not moved by what we see, feel, or hear, but we only believe in the Word of God. We trust the Lord. A short, simple prayer can be mighty beyond my description, especially in Spirit. Prayers are the most beautiful act of praising God. I learned in my prayer life by talking to Him in His Presence, the Word of God’s prayer and talk. God desires our prayer lives to be enjoyable and natural, for He wants us to be honest, heartfelt, and pure as direct from our hearts. Most of all, He wants our communication with Him unencumbered by the tradition of men, legalism, obligations, rules, responsibility, and regulations. In the past decades, I learned that He intends for prayers to be necessary and ultimately part of our everyday lives, not all the eloquent prayer, by speaking in a flowing and expressive manner. Reading Matthew 6 teaches us that when we pray, we are not to repeat the exact phrases or rehearse them repeatedly. We always think that God will hear us if we speak too much. As the years go by, when you learn how to pray, especially speaking in Spirit, the perfect prayer- quality is much more important than quantity. God has been dealing with me in the past years, and I found myself talking so much when I prayed that I was confused about what I had prayed. I was unsure what I was asking and kept rehearsing without realizing it. I need the answer quickly.
I sometimes still catch myself slipping back into my old ways of praying, thinking more words are better. I get reminded again that simplicity is a powerful prayer. I found it more refreshing and practical to PRAISE and worship Him by praying like a friend. There are two ways of communication when we pray. Be quiet and listen to the still, small voice. We also release the mental or emotional pressures and burdens that weigh us down. Based on the Bible, it is an appropriate prayer. I wrote my first e-book, entitled “Word of God 2-The Power of Speaking the Word of God,” in 2016, but I unpublished it. I re-published it and changed the title to “Claim God’s Promises In Your Life” at Amazon.com. With modification.
It’s too challenging and tedious to categorize them in every life situation as there is life in the pages of this book. Still, the Lord put it in my heart and gave me the desire to do it because I may also bless others for that book. It comforted me and helped me through transformation, transition, and change in my life to another level spiritually.
