I Am Preparing Your Heart

          I am preparing your heart…<3

    Come walk with me awhile,

     If I fall catch me by the hand,

       When I’m standing I will smile,

      Knowing you’re there if I land.

 I think the hardest thing in life is hearing the plan for your life. You struggle with it, you pray about it, and you fast about it. Then you let it roll over and over in your mind thinking that there can be no way that you can ever do the things that God has called you to do. Then finally you accept the word from the Lord. He has shown you over and over in prayer, maybe dreams or even visions. He has confirmed it with others in the plan. You even hear the preached word so you finally throw yourself on the altar saying:  “Yes, Lord I accept the challenge.”

Now you expect the road to be hard and yes your human and are waiting for the other shoe to drop. Those in your life, who are supposed to be your support, then turn their backs on you. Your world crashes down all around! You ask yourself often; did I make up this dream? I mean you didn't really expect the dream. You didn't ask for the dream. But you know God put it in your heart! How else would you ever have such an impossible idea? Who would change their life so drastically if they didn't hear the Lord tell them to go? I am reminded of the scripture:

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Matthew  9:29-30

 Now every day you are faced by every opposition and fear and doubt come in like a flood. Then you are reminded of the promises of the Lord. “IF” you will do what I am asking THEN He will make a way. See he truly is the way maker! He is the author and finisher of our faith. He knows the end from the beginning. He gave us a promise to those he called to his purpose. And his word will not return void for God cannot lie!

  

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:28-31

If he has called you to a plan then He will fulfill his will in you. What do you do in the meantime? He is holding you in the palm of his hand. He my friend is preparing your heart. He is making a way when there seems no way. He is asking you to wait on him and trust in His ways.

He is preparing your heart through:                                                          

1)  You seeking Him first in all things

2)  Prayer and Fasting

3)  Faithfulness to His word

4)  Trusting in Him

5)  Refusing to allow adversity to overtake your fight

6)  Faithful in the small things and He will reward you in the big things!

You may have thought your promise was right in front of you but maybe just maybe He is testing you in adversity to see if you truly seek Him first. If God told you a plan or made you a promise it will come to pass. Do not fear the unknown but allow the unknown to be a time where you grow your faith.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen… Hebrews 11:1

 

If you want to hear the voice of God and I mean truly hear his voice, let me teach you how:

1)  A true repentance, throwing all your fears and doubts on the altar and turning from this world.

2)  Ask the Lord to sanctify and cleanse your heart every corner, that there be nothing hidden from Him.

3)  Thank the Lord for being in your life; thank Him for every adversity and every blessing.

4)  Pray in the spirit; speaking in tongues allowing God to speak through you. This will take practice but when you want to quit, that is when you keep pressing on until you feel the Lord release you.

5)  Ask the Lord for what you need ask Him in this special place for everything He has promised you.

6)  Stop and be still and listen for the voice of God. It may take a little bit BUT He hasn't ever returned void when praying this way.

7)  It’s important to praise him at the end of your prayer. And to thank Him once again… Ask the Lord to keep his Angels round about you because when you pray like this the devil is not happy because you have entered into the throne room of grace!

Know this my friends that God is preparing your heart and He is preparing the hearts of those who will impact your life. Do not give up hope and do not stop fighting the fight. Because just when you think you can’t go on anymore your miracle is just on the other side of the stone wall. He truly is preparing your heart!

YOU NEVER KNOW HOW CLOSE YOU ARE SO NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!
