Experience through the Word

QOPH

"145I cry out with my whole heart; Hear me, O Lord! I will keep Your statutes.146I cry out to You; Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies. 147I rise before the dawning of the morning, And cry for help; I hope in Your word.148My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word. 149Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Lord, revive me according to Your justice. 150They draw near who follow after wickedness; They are far from Your law. 151You are near, O Lord, And all Your commandments are truth. 152Concerning Your testimonies, I have known of old that You have founded them forever".       Psalm 119:145-152   NKJV

The cry from the heart is the key to God responding. When we ask Him in prayer, wholeheartedly, He cannot resist this cry and this encourages us to do His will more and more. A good example was when Peter walked on the water and then started to sink because he took his eyes off Jesus. He shouted, 'Lord, save me' (Matthew 14:30), and Jesus lifted him out of the water. Likewise, when we begin to sink because of pressures, we can rely on Him to save us (v146). 

When we have this deep relationship with Jesus - rising from bed early to read His Word and pray and, depending on His direction throughout the day, we can be sure of being in touch with the Holy Spirit. We need this early morning time with Him. As one person once said, 'No Bible - No Breakfast.' We should adopt this motto as it will help us to remember.

It's the same on sleepless nights. Whenever sleep eludes us, we can talk to Jesus, He is always awake. He watches over us 24/7. We need to rejoice in the fact that we have instant access to Him all the time. There is no: 'Your call is important to us, please stay on the line and we will connect you.' God is available all the time and whereas Satan will only give us pain and heartache, with God we have the victory! 

'If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. In Jesus' Name. Amen
