No Surprises…

Psalm 119:165 “The people who love God’s Instructions enjoy peace and lots of it and nothing shall offend them”

I enjoy walking on paths that twist and turn on their way to a destination. My mind thinks about what’s coming up ahead or what’s beyond the next turn. As I stay on the path I arrive safely at the destination.

God has a path for us. Our verse says that as we walk on His Path and follow His Instructions offense won’t be able to lead us astray. Isn’t it great to know that around the next bend of life can be lots of peace rather than another unexpected offense?

Offense always leads us away from God. It takes us into a wilderness of self-interest and deception. We soon discover that peace has gone and the never-ending storms of life are tossing us about instead. This all resulted from us following an offense.

God has provided us with a fabulous escape from offense. All we do is simply follow His Instructions. When we start doing things His Way we suddenly find ourselves back on His path for our life and His path is an offense free path.

Don’t allow offense to stalk you and lead you away from God. Instead hold firm to God’s way of doing things. Before long you’ll find that there is LOTS OF PEACE in your life. Soon others will be looking to you to lead them along His path of life towards peace.

It’s time for Prophetic Promise …

Romans 16:26 “But now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles [nations] everywhere, so that they too might believe and obey him.” [NLT]

Did you know that God has prophets who speak out His plans and purposes for nations?

Fernandez de Quiros discovered the land of Australia in 1606, he prophetically prayed and proclaimed over our nation that it was to be called “…the Southern Land of the Holy Ghost…” In the 1930s Smith Wigglesworth prophesied over Australia and New Zealand that these two nations would see the last great move of the Holy Spirit on earth, a move that would eclipse anything seen before.

Sound awesome? Absolutely! But what does it take to bring God’s prophetic word into existence? It’s simple, we must take a hold of God’s promise in prayer, believe what God has said, then obey His word… no matter what we see with our natural eyes.

The question is never about whether or not God’s word will come to pass… the ONLY question is… Will you be a part of it?

The truth is… all nations have callings, appointed times in history and boundaries for their lands set by God. So if you are thinking, “Maybe I should pray for my nation” please do!

Challenge yourself to pray, believe and obey God for the words He has spoken over your life, your family and your nation… it’s time for action!
