Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven. - Psalm 119:89 (NKJV).
God’s
Word is forever settled in Heaven. The Bible tells us in the Amplified
version of the Bible, “Your will be done --held hold and revered—on
earth as it is in heaven (Luke 11:2).
What is God’s will in heaven? No sickness. No pain. No sorrow. No poverty. No condemnation.
That is His will on Earth too.
How
many of you have spoke the Word, prayed, thanked God, praised Him, and
yet the deadline for your miracle still passed without a word or action
on God’s part?
Many times we just decide that God must not be in the miracle business any more...or at least not for us.
No,
God’s Word, His promises, are forever settled in Heaven. They are ours
through the shed blood of Jesus, but we do everything but the one thing
that is necessary for our blessings to flow.
We don’t guard our
hearts (John 14:27). The blessings are flowing to us all the time
because of the shed blood of Jesus. It is like water flowing through a
hose.
If we clamp down on the middle of the hose with our hands, we restrict the water. Is the water still flowing?
Yes, but we are restricting it from flowing to us.
That
is what allowing ourselves to be troubled, afraid, agitated, disturbed,
fearful, intimated, cowardly and unsettled does to our blessing flow.
The blessings are flowing, but we are restricting them by not guarding
our heart.
Next time you have a problem and are tempted to
worry, quote John 14:27, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let
it be afraid.”
