Be Generous!

WHAT DID GOD SAY TO ME THIS MORNING

Early morning prayer has been the secret to my changed life. I am telling you because it’s a secret I don’t want to keep to myself. I want everyone to experience this peace that I have, this smile that I have, and this stress-free way of living that I am totally enjoying. I don’t worry about anything anymore because I totally depend on God. I am so glad that I have decided to follow Jesus and there is no turning back, no, no, no…no, no, no….no turning back (that’s a song I sang as a child and it was brought to my remembrance last night during an awesome night of worship at my church). I just love how God reminds me that He has always been with me from the beginning.

Here’s my conversation with the Holy Spirit today:

You will help other people with their books (now when I heard this, I was like…how do you want me to do it? Soon as I asked how, check out the next thing I heard from the Holy Spirit).
I will tell you how. Wait for my instructions and don’t get ahead of me. (Okay, I got it Holy Spirit because my brain was already starting to think of how..lol).
You and the kids will have a great summer. Plan it out with Me, and I will provide for it all.
Keep encouraging your family and sharing resources that will increase their faith, as you also increase your faith.
Always ask me what to do next (At this point, I asked the Holy Spirit what to do next and He answered, open your bible).

I opened my bible and looked at the page it opened to. It was Ecclesiastes 11 that immediately drew my attention. I begin to read and was simply in awe of where the Holy Spirit had led me at that moment. I literally had just been thinking about generosity as I sat and waited to hear from the Holy Spirit.

Lately I have been paying for other people’s meals, and a friend and I recently purchased a pair of Nikes for a super sweet waitress who served us extremely well, but was in desperate need of some good work shoes. It was random, but I heard the Holy Spirit tell me to get her some shoes as I was leaving the restaurant, so I did. Since then, I have been really in tune with hearing from the Holy Spirit on how I can be more generous. Other than verse 1 (pictured above), the other verse that stood out to me in Ecclesiastes was 11:6

Be sure to stay busy and plant a variety of crops for you never know which will grow — perhaps they all will. Ecclesiastes 11:6 New Living Translation

In the book, Prayers That Rout Demons by John Eckhardt, the following prayers and scriptures also stood out to me.

Psalm 1:3 - I meditate on the Word day and night, and whatever I do prospers.

Isaiah 48:17 - Lord, teach me to profit, and lead me in the way I should go.

Ezra 6:14 - I will prosper through the prophets and prophetic ministry (this was an answer to a pray that I had prayed this morning concerning my gift as a writer).

In reading all these prayers and verses, they all spoke to me on being generous, following God’s plan, and God providing me with everything I need! I just love when God puts it all together for me…and I wouldn’t be able to see it without this amazing prayer life. Try the prayer life! I promise you won’t regret it one bit!
