A Word from the Lord Changes Everything!
WHAT DID MY LORD GOD SAY TO ME THIS MORNING?
My Daily Conversations With God
This morning I asked the Lord for a word. I had been praying all over the house in every room and at every door. I didn’t have the same “feeling” I had yesterday when I felt His presence SO STRONGLY on me. I kept on praying, even though I low-key was thinking in my subconscious mind that I hadn’t prayed enough. So right when I asked the Lord to give me a word, I randomly opened my Bible to 1 Chronicles, chapter 16. And it was then that I heard from the Lord through the Hope Words that were bold on the page.
Don’t worry that you may pray poorly. Worry if you don’t pray at all.
Those words kicked our conversation right on off and Holy Spirit continued with: Focus on being obedient, not how you feel while you’re doing it. Feelings aren’t the barometer.
I then sat on the floor of my prayer closet and began to read the 16th chapter of 1 Chronicles.
8 Praise the Lord
and pray in his name!
Tell everyone
what he has done.
9 Sing praises to the Lord!
Tell about his miracles.
10 Celebrate and worship
his holy name
with all your heart.11 Trust the Lord
and his mighty power.
Worship him always.
12 Remember his miracles
and all his wonders
and his fair decisions.
13 You belong to the family
of Israel, his servant;
you are his chosen ones,
the descendants of Jacob.14 The Lord is our God,
bringing justice
everywhere on earth.
15 We must never forget
his agreement and his promises,
not in thousands of years.
16 God made an eternal promise
17 to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
18 when he said, “I’ll give you
the land of Canaan.”19 At the time there were
only a few of us,
and we were homeless.
20 We wandered from nation
to nation,
from one country
to another.
21 God did not let anyone
mistreat our people.
Instead he protected us
by punishing rulers
22 and telling them,
“Don’t touch my chosen leaders
or harm my prophets!”23 Everyone on this earth,
sing praises to the Lord.
Day after day announce,
“The Lord has saved us!”
24 Tell every nation on earth,
“The Lord is wonderful
and does marvelous things!
25 The Lord is great and deserves
our greatest praise!
He is the only God
worthy of our worship.
26 Other nations worship idols,
but the Lord created
the heavens.
27 Give honor and praise
to the Lord,
whose power and beauty
fill his holy temple.”28 Tell everyone of every nation,
“Praise the glorious power
of the Lord.
29 He is wonderful! Praise him
and bring an offering
into his temple.
Worship the Lord,
majestic and holy.
30 Everyone on earth, now tremble!”The world stands firm,
never to be shaken.31 Tell the heavens and the earth
to be glad and celebrate!
And announce to the nations,
“The Lord is King!”
32 Command the ocean to roar
with all of its creatures
and the fields to rejoice
with all of their crops.
33 Then every tree in the forest
will sing joyful songs
to the Lord.
He is coming to judge
all people on earth.34 Praise the Lord
because he is good to us,
and his love never fails.
35 Say to him, “Save us, Lord God!
Bring us back
from among the nations.
Let us celebrate and shout
in praise of your holy name.
36 Lord God of Israel,
you deserve to be praised
forever and ever.”1 Chronicles 16:8-36 CEV
Yes, I know it was a lot of scripture, but look at how relevant the scripture is for us today. As I kept reading on into Chapter 17 (I won’t post it here, but you can read it for yourself), verse 23 really stood out to me:
Now Lord, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and his house be confirmed forever, and do as you have promised. 1 Chronicles 17:23 CSB
I pray that every word that the Lord has delivered to you through His Word, His people and His prophets be as He said it would be! Let that which is settled in heaven be a reality in our lives here on earth. Ask God to fulfill all the promises He has made to you. Get excited because if He promises it, you KNOW it’s His will!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Thank you Jesus!! ❤️
Be encouraged today, one word from the Lord changes everything!
