Power Point:
For a few weeks, The Lord has been giving me a
phrase. I've been patiently waiting for
Him to elaborate. The phrase is:
"It is what it is, but it's not what
it's going to be!"
Ah.
Sometimes the "what is", rules
our thoughts doesn't it? And yet, the
promises of God are always focused on "what is going to be." They are focused on dreams fulfilled and hope
realized. The more we become "firmly convinced", as Abraham did, we will stop wasting our time figuring out if God can. We begin focusing on the character of the God who
has promised the promise.
God told Abraham that He would honor his faith and make
Him a father of multitudes. I'm sure
that there were many cries from Abraham and Sarah's heart over the years for
the blessing of a child. All of his
life, Abraham lived in hope of being a father, yet year after year passed with
no sign of a child. Then one day God appears for a nice chat with him and says,
"Okay Abe,
I've got some good news. I've heard your
prayers. Not only are you about to
become a father in the natural but also in the spirit. Because you have trusted Me and believed in
Me, you will be a father of nations.
Many nations."
Fortunately, Abraham did not waiver. He didn't
stagger and fall down in the face of such a "crazy" promise"-this gigantic, enormous, impossible promise.
He just agreed with God. He said, "Okay." and then started
preparing the nursery.
Scripture says that he strengthened his
faith. The more he believed God, the
stronger he became. As he thought about
God, he thought about how all things are possible with Him. As he thought about God, he thought about how
faithful He had always been to him. As
he thought about God even though the days turned into years, he did not fall
apart, he grew stronger and more fully convinced that what God had promised
him, He was perfectly capable and more than willing to perform. Let's face it. Abraham made a few mistakes on the way to
the promise fulfilled. He and Sarai tried to figure out HOW God would fulfil
his dream of fatherhood. But even though
he had tried to "help God out" God stayed on track. He stayed on his pre-planned track to see His promises realized on earth as they
are in heaven.
Beloved, you may be in a place today where there is no hope in the
natural for a good outcome. Don't worry,
God is still on track to blast you away with His faithfulness and His very
determined goodness. He wants you to
know that "It is what it is, but it is not what it's going
to be!" He's heard your prayers and your cries and He has called
out your answer in the heavenlies and is diligently working all things together
for your good. He's calling out heavenly answers to earthly problems.
What are you calling out today?
Abraham agreed with God.
We should too, don't you think?
God always gives His life to the deadest of the dead things in our
lives when we believe Him. Always. He always responds to the call for
His life to invade our lives. Always.
Beloved, it is what it is, but it (that illness, that financial
downturn,that relationship), that whatever that seems to be impossible
right now is being re-formed, re-created into a new thing.
God is calling out heaven's promise to you. "It" is becoming what He says
it's going to be.
Do you agree?
