Miracle Report: I remember one day I was reading the story of the woman with the issue of blood who touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and was healed. I’d read the story many times and pictured myself as almost everyone in the story, just experiencing how it would feel to be someone in the crowd or even the one who was healed. Alas a Lady was healed in our miracle service the Lord spoke and said, “She’s as the woman with the issue of blood.” I was very excited I said, “Be healed of your issue Of blood!” Praise God the fountain of blood that came from her dried up immediately, later I heard she had a child.
PRAYER - "Jacob's Vow"
After the Lord appeared to Jacob at Bethel, making covenant, Jacob reciprocated with a vow of his own. Jacob lived his life devoted to the God of his fathers. 3500 years later, a great nation still witnesses to that relationship.
Genesis 28:20,21 - "And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God."
PRINCIPALS - "Rebekah's Intercession"
Isaac and Rebekah were grieved by Esau's marriage to a Hittite woman. Rebekah determined that the family inheritance should pass to Jacob. She plotted in Jacob's behalf to get the blessing from dying Isaac. It was a risky venture. What if Isaac discovered he was being deceived? She felt it was worth the risk, and was willing to take the blame if it failed. We need more mothers who urge their children to desire God's blessings.
Genesis 27:13 - "...his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice."
PRINCIPLES - "Fleeing Trouble"
Esau threatened to kill Jacob for stealing the family blessing. Rebekah had pushed Jacob into the situation, then she had to urge Jacob to flee. Sometimes situations seem to deteriorate before they get better. Nevertheless, Jacob's flight took him to Laban, where he met and married his wives and he became the father of the "twelve tribes of Israel." It is not uncommon in the will of God for things to get worse before they get better.
Genesis 27:43 - "Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran."
PROPHECIES - "Jacob's Inheritance"
Here is a written record, authored by Moses well over 3,000 years ago, that Isaac passed Abraham's blessing to Jacob, including the deed to the promised land. Islam hotly contests this claim, but it is at least 2,000 years older than Islam. Mohammed's counter-claims are illegitimate. God will confirm Israel's claim to the land originally given to Abraham.
Genesis 28:4 - "And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham."
No More Surprises
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
– 1 Corinthians 2-10
God is not full of surprises. He’s not an unpredictable being who likes to keep you guessing. Countless believers, however, have the idea He is.
“You just never know what God is going to do,” they say. They base that idea on 1 Corinthians 2:9 which says, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” They interpret that scripture to mean that God is keeping secrets from His people.
But, praise God, He isn’t!
In fact, verse 10 says He’s given us His Spirit to reveal those secrets to us! He desires for us to know everything that’s on His heart.
If you’re in the dark about God’s will for you, you don’t have to stay that way. He wants you to know about His plans and provisions for your life. He’ll show them to you if you’ll let Him.
So, don’t depend on guesswork. Determine today that you’re going to start receiving that revelation from the Holy Spirit. As you read the Word, pray in the spirit and ask Him to reveal to you the reality of the Scriptures. Ask Him to shed His light on them and show you exactly how they apply to you.
Remember: God isn’t in the business of keeping secrets from you. He’s in the business of revealing them. Take time to listen to Him and you’ll never have to settle for a life of uncertainty again.
