Psalm 66:16-20 MSG ~ “All believers, come here and listen, let me tell you what God did for me. I called out to him with my mouth, my tongue shaped the sounds of music. If I had been cozy with evil, the Lord would never have listened. But he most surely did listen, he came on the double when he heard my prayer. Blessed be God: he didn’t turn a deaf ear, he stayed with me, loyal in his love.”
Part 3! Wednesday, you sought the Lord and He heard you and He answered you. Yesterday, He answered you while you were still speaking! And today you need to tell someone what the Lord did for you! This song, Trust God, has moved me to another place in God! The more I say I sought the Lord, the more I want to call upon His Name. For not only did He hear me, but He answered me! Can’t nobody do you like Jesus! And can’t nobody tell your story like you can, they might forget the most important details. (That Jesus Did It!) The Word of God says that you will be known by your testimony! What is your testimony? What has the Lord done for you? Can’t nobody do you like Jesus!
Are you a believer? This Psalm is a call out for believers, those who confess that they love God, and those who truly fear Him, means that you respond in awe and wonder to the Lord! But there is something that can hinder and block you from having an effective prayer life, that is habitual and ongoing sin in your life. When you turn from God and rely on yourself, you are choosing to cherish sin in your heart and the Lord will not listen to your prayers. You have to repent to God and He will hear you and answer you and forgive you, (Acts 3:19)! You know the older saints knew how to call on the Lord, they knew just what to do and say to get His attention. You need to look back and see what they did that you might do it now!
What a wonderful privilege you and me have been given, you are able to go to bed at night and awake in the morning with the blessed assurance that all is right because of God! This did not happen because you did everything correct, and you never committed sin. Nope, it’s because you have been forgiven and washed by the Blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:22, 1 John 1:7) that was poured out as an offering on the cross for your sin; even when you didn’t know that you needed it or deserved it your forgiveness is because of the love of God, and this is by His Grace and Mercy towards you! It’s because of Him that you are made righteous, and it is your obligation to submit to His Will and live for Him every day!
You are now in Christ, live each day with the commitment to bring honor to Him and to lead others to him. Seek the Lord, He is listening out for you, He hears your cry, He is holding you by His Righteous Right Hand, (Isaiah 41:10), He wants to lift you up, He wants to answer you! So, when it feels like life is squeezing you in on every side, call out to God. He promises to sustain you when you put your trust in Him. For when you are weak, He is strong and this makes you strong, (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)! It is a blessing when God answers prayers and It’s a greater blessing when you see it and recognize it for what it is, that it was God and God alone that did this for you! This is where you praise God for it! This is where you tell someone about what God has done for you! Do you have a testimony of a prayer that God answered for you, one that you know that if God didn’t do it, it couldn’t be done! Your testimony can do two things, encourage the believer and draw the nonbeliever to Him! Open your mouth tell somebody your story, they need to hear it, (Revelations 12:11)!
Say this out loud to yourself everyday day and all throughout the day…” trust You God, I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and He answered me, and He delivered me from all my fears, and He will never fail me, and that is why I will always put and keep my trust in God!”
Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father! Thank You for loving me so much that you gave your Son who knew no sin of his own to become sin for me so that I might become righteousness in him. Father Thank You for making me into who I am, I know that I am what I am by Your Grace and I’m praising You for everything! Father this is my prayer every day for the rest of my life, I sought You Lord, and You heard me and You answered me and You moved me to where You want me to be. Father, my soul seeks You and I long to commune with You! Father thank You for answering me when I called You, Thank You for never leaving me to myself! Father, You have won every battle of sin when You went to the cross. May I always stand firm and give myself fully to the work of Your Kingdom! Father, take everything away from me that is not pleasing to You for I want my life to please You and to bring Glory to Your Holy Name! In Jesus Christ Mighty Name. Amen!
Blessings…
