Just a thought:
Sometimes, we will pray and ask God for something but nothing seems to happen. Over time, we may become fearful, doubtful, worried, stressed, frustrated or even come to believe that God said, “NO!”. Here is a simple truth. God empowers and gifts us individually. From before the very beginning, He always has had a plan for our lives. Many times, He answers immediately. You may have prayed for a million dollars. Could it be that God released that for you the moment that you prayed; however you never received it. Ask yourself why?
First, you have to be Spiritually attuned to the voice of God to hear the command and instructions of God, who has your every need and solution. You have to have Spiritual vision so that you can see beyond the apparent into the possible as you continue to trust Him. And then, you have to learn, understand and be willing to do what God told you to so that you can see clearly what He intends for you. And then, even though you may see it, sometimes, it is still further down the road. To get it, you already know that you will have to keep on moving, trying, believing, hoping praying, waiting…but maybe you also have to start doing some doing.
Sometimes, you may feel buried, in the dirt, way beneath your situation and you say: “God, please fix it.” God is a God of the now and of the future which is His Now, if not His past, and so in the Spiritual realm your destination, your desire, your solution already IS.. but in your physical world, it has not fully manifested, you still have to get there.
And while you are feeling buried by (the dirt) your worries, problem, wrong people and situations, you are just wasting your time…doing nothing but feeling sorry for yourself. You sit there complaining, crying and lamenting but none of that change absolutely nothing. So you need to grow even as you still cry: “God, did you hear me?”
I can sometimes hear God say, “Yes! I heard you but did you hear me? Because a long time ago, I gave you the gift, (your voice, talent, skill, idea), the resource ( a powerful mind, time, ability) and the power and the authority but you did nothing but continue to wait on Me. You took a bit too much for granted. You wanted me to blink My eyes and miraculously transport you completely from “The Pit to the Palace”
but by your inaction you continued buried where you first began to wait, in the pit, under the dirt of your life. You never tried to move or to clean yourself up or even to be less buried. If you have moved just a little of the dirt( Your attitudes, beliefs, behaviors,) you would be closer to your result. , You still, in order to get what I have for you, have to shake loose some of the dirt that you have acquired. Yes, I have blessed you. But to get to the blessing, you have to dig yourself out Spiritually, Mentally and Emotionally. And while you are digging, don’t get worried, keep moving, shaking and believing …and as dig, when dig, things will change. They will get better but you have to keep on moving and digging. As you dig and get closer to the manifestation, do not be distracted by the way you feel about having to work, change, grow, mature which will happen as a result of the digging…For in truth…It is never about the digging … but it is always ….about …..the dirt….and you do…have to move it.
