Daily Huddle - Sun Mar 1, 2020 Have You Not Heard?

Love you all, praying for you,
 
God is powerful.  He is not only the Creator of Heaven and Earth – He is the Controller.  Proverbs 21:1 – The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, like a watercourse He directs it wherever He chooses.  The most powerful rulers on the face of the earth in every generation – God leads them like a winding stream.  He turns them one way, and then He turns them another.  They are completely under His control.  If He controls the most powerful like that, your spouse is not a problem for Him, your boss is not a problem for Him, your governor or president is not a problem for Him.  Yeah that’s right!  - but that also means neither are you.  The wonderfully good news is that God is a God of mercy, and love – for you!  He is completely good.  He has good for those who seek Him.  Whoever obeys His Word – will walk in the blessing He gives, whoever does not, won’t.  Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  Isaiah 37:26 – Have you not heard?  Long ago I ordained it.  In days of old, I planned it; now I have brought it to pass, that you have turned fortified cities into piles of stone.  This was God speaking through the prophet Isaiah about Sennacherib the King of Assyria – whose conquering army was ordained by God to bring righteous judgment on the wicked nations around him.  He was unstoppable, He conquered all nations surrounding Israel, because God planned it.  He overran all the fortified cities of Judah, He was about to lay siege to Jerusalem, and he was trash talking everybody, every nation – even Eqypt whom he had yet to fight.  He became full of himself.  But when He started talking smack about God. The One True God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - his end was swift and sure.  He was unstoppable until he spoke against God, and God put an end to him.  His success was at God’s direction alone, nothing that he did.  God could have used anybody.  God knows what will happen and He has already planned what He will certainly bring to pass.   Some people say – God already knows, so why obey?  We don’t really have a choice, He’s already planned it.  False, that’s the lie of the devil.  Just because He knows what you will choose, doesn’t mean you don’t have the choice.  Be careful what voice you let into your ear, and be very careful what words you repeat – you will begin to believe them.  If you obey – God has blessing planned for you – salvation, deliverance, restoration, and favor!  If you don’t obey – He has correction planned.  He will surely bring to pass what He has planned.  He doesn’t have two things planned depending on what you will choose; He already knows what you will choose and has already planned the right consequence.  Blessing or curse, affliction or acceleration.  But go ahead and choose.  His Good plans are waiting for you, He will surely bring them to pass.  He longs to do good for you, to show you His favor.  It’s waiting!  Don’t waste time wondering if He’s good, or if we really have a choice – that’s just wasting time.  Choose you this day whom you will serve.  Choices become more difficult to make – the more you delay.   Obey quickly!  He is good or not.  If His voice is not the loudest voice in your ear – it will be difficult to obey quickly.  Most people don’t obey, because they don’t ask.  It’s impossible to walk in the plans He has for you – if you don’t know what they are...  you didn’t ask.  So you’ll just walk in your own plans not His.  Praying that you will do PiVAT before dinner every day this week - that you'll overcome on your Daily Call every morning.  But praying also that you will Do PiVAT every Sunday – If you don’t know His plans for your week (far better than yours), it will be very hard to walk in them.  You can’t walk in what you don’t know.  If the month is beginning or about to begin, ask Him to show you His plans for you this month!  Start strong – or if you’re a few days in already – just start now.  PiVAT Monthly – He will reveal His plans for you – and they are so very Good.  If you do PiVAT – your PRISM will become crazy.  God said in Romans 12:2 – His Word proves His will.  PRISM will always confirm what He told you to do in PiVAT – as you traded in your sorry plans for His awesome plans for you!  Praying that His Word is your #1 Pursuit.  Start in His Presence, Seek His plan, and Soak in His Word.  He will confirm your steps, He will transform your mind, He will encourage your heart, He will direct your steps, He will always provide, you will see the fruit, you will believe His Word, and He will fulfill the purpose He created you for!  That’s what success is...  Fully doing what He created you for – what He has planned for you.  That’s where the joy is!  Praying that you will always choose His Ways over yours – so the Good that He has planned – will follow you all the days of your life!  It starts with asking Him. 
 
Love you all,
