PAY THE PRICE, DEPEND ON GOD

MAY 23 DAILY READING

Yesterday I had the privilege to minister to a large auditorium full of inmates.
Women that will be paying the price for life, some for several short years others  for very long years and a handful due to be out soon.
Each lady received a certain punishment according to their failure.
I wanted to reach deep into their heart and soul for the 45 minutes I was given.

It was the BEST 45 minutes friends...

45 minutes to convince them of their heavenly vision.

In today's reading in the old testament 1 Chronicles 21:1-17 we discover how David had to pay the price and depend on God.

David made a MAJOR mistake. His choice to count his soldiers revealed he was beginning to place more confidence in his troops then in the power of God. Fortunately, he placed himself in the hands of the Lord when he chose punishment---once again demonstrating the divine dependency  that got him to the top once before.

Many times in life we all choose to listen to Satan's lies and then stop trusting in God.  Satan wants us to all fail miserably and he tricks us by causing us to misplace our trust and beliefs.

Placing us in personal prisons as the end result.

Davids willingness to take responsibility for his foolish action demonstrates his depth of character.
 He was tired of Satan's provoking schemes. David REPENTED and ACCEPTED punishment from the hand of God.

Its very important to not hide failures, blame others or run from God.

Admit and REPENT.
God has a heavenly vision for every life. I am thankful that God does not draw a line to whom He extends His grace and light!

God wants us to RESTORE our relationship and do whatever it takes to minimize the consequences of our failures so they do not affect the lives of others around us.

The women yesterday learned to RELEASE and RECEIVE many things!
 I told them to allow their "NATURAL" to accept what the "SUPER" is doing around them. God sure had a SUPERNATURAL encounter with each lady! What an honor to have a front row seat in God's work!

I was humbled at all the letters handed to me at the end. Pens where writing frantically on paper at the end because so many women wanted to tell me their story, they wanted me to know their failures and how they desired God to touch and RESTORE their personal prisons.


God desires our DIVINE DEPENDENCY and when we choose to trust, He will strengthen us to stand and rise above all the SET BACKS caused from our personal failures.


God has a plan and if we continue to IGNORE the "divine" we will continue to FAIL MISERABLY.

Allow God's grace, light and wisdom to reach into your personal prisons today friends.

He my friends has a plan past the pain....

Now set your heart and your soul to SEEK the Lord your God

Blessings


He my fr
