Love you all, praying for you!
 
I just love God’s Word – it’s always full of secrets.  There is always something beneath the surface – it’s truth all the way through.  It’s not like formica – just plastic on the top – and pressed dust underneath.  His Word is like granite – truth and color - through and through.  Psalms 119:169 – May my cry come before you; give me understanding according to your Word.  It’s interesting – sometimes what we ask isn’t quite what we mean.  We don’t just want God to hear us – of course He hears us!  He knows the hairs on your head, and the motives and innermost thoughts of your heart, that you don’t even speak, of course He hears what you ask him out loud.  So why would we ask Him to hear us?  We really want Him to answer us, that's what we're really asking – that’s how we know for sure that He heard us...  He gave us what we asked for.  But when David asked that his cry, his petition, would come before God… He knew the importance, the connection, of understanding to asking… so He asked God to give him understanding – according to His Word – that would affect and influence and direct his asking.  Understanding is given – you can’t accomplish understanding.  God gives it – you can’t get it anywhere else.  It comes from God’s Word.  His Word gives understanding.  And true understanding is agreement and alignment – being in agreement of mind with the speaker - coming to an understanding.  That’s why when God says – His Word never returns void – meaning it never doesn’t produce something, part of what it produces is understanding – agreement and alignment.  And when we agree and align, it affects how we ask over time.  His Word gives understanding.  The more you read it, the more you come into agreement and alignment with it.  The Holy Spirit can confirm it.  David is asking for understanding so his understanding directs his asking - so His cry comes before Him, and God’s answers can come to him.  The more we read God’s Word, the more we agree and align.  And the more we agree and align, the more our requests match his best – His will and His plan for us.  Not everything we ask is good or best, and God doesn't want to give you less than His plans for your best.  It’s not more crying out to Him that you need, it’s more understanding from Him that you need, so your agreement and your alignment match your petitions with His will.  So he can fulfill His purpose in you – so you walk in His best.  PRISM – those five things you can do in God’s Word each day – is how God gives you understanding that aligns your ask with His answer.  Praying that PRISM will have you soaking, and understanding and aligning, and asking and receiving and rejoicing.  So that what you ask (which He always hears) is what He has planned to answer for your greatest good!  Praying that you will PRISM more than you ask, so you understand and align - so you can ask and receive and rejoice!
 
Love you all,
dad
