WHEN GOD SPEAKS…

At creation God said “Let there be light” and light showed up, no ifs, ands or buts, even though the sun wasn't created yet, that didn't make any difference to Him.. yeah that’s my God …when He calls something forth as He called the light at creation, there is no two ways about it…no well, maybe, perhaps, I wish, I hope so, only if…none of that. When He speaks, it is done.

When the children of Israel were facing the Red sea with nowhere to go as Pharaoh and the Egyptian army was closing in on them, they cried out to Moses…Can you imagine what was going through their minds? Talk about fear, worry, panic, despair all rolled into one  – sheer terror. But God had brought them out of Egypt to bring them into the land He had promised Abraham over 400 years earlier, not to have them killed, injured or enslaved again by their oppressors.

¹⁵ And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. ¹⁶ But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. – Exodus 14:15-16 NKJV

And that is exactly what happened! They didn't see a way out but God had it all figured out…

Remember the disciples in the boat during the storm, with Jesus fast asleep on a pillow in the stern? It must have been a no joke storm for seasoned fishermen to be that frantic. They woke Jesus up with accusations “don’t you care we are perishing?” Before we give them that “how-dare-you-say-that-to-the-Lord-who-is-ever-so-faithful” look, let’s us be reminded of the many trying situations in our lives where we've more or less voiced similar sentiments to God…hmm!  Jesus was in the boat with them and had already given them His word; you’d think that would keep them calm.  

³⁵ On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” – Mark 4:35NKJV (emphasis mine)

The very presence of Jesus in that boat with them should've given them the assurance that what He told them is exactly what is going to happen, they are crossing to the other side, storm or no storm. You see beloved, just like the disciples of old, we often get so caught up in what we are going through at the moment, we forget the promises of God to us, we also forget He is in us and with us at all times just as He has promised us, yes even in our darkest moments, He never leaves us nor forsakes us. He loves us eternally, perfectly and unconditionally.

Beloved, what is your Abba Father saying to you today? What has He promised you today? Whatever it is, trust Him – if He spoke it, consider it done. Remember, He looks at His word to fulfill it. It never returns to Him void! So when you hear what He is saying, go ahead, be bold and prophesy, for you know Him who has spoken.  

The Lord God has spoken!
Who can but prophesy? – Amos 3:8b NKJV

Blessings!
