On Sunday January 3rd we had our monthly time of corporate prayer at the church. It was an amazing time in the Lord! The "service" had already started once I got there so I just sat in a pew & began to be "quiet" before the Lord so I could pray not what I wanted but what HE wanted. As I sat in the pew & continued to "ponder & meditate" on what He was saying to me for 2010 the thought came to me "Set Your House In Order." I knew it was a "right now" word from the Lord because I had also been feeling that 2010 was going to be a banner year for the youth ministry, the church & my family.
But before I can have a banner year I feel like the Lord was saying that if it is to be a banner year then I need to get things in the proper place in my life. I was reminded of the woman in the Old Testament that received her miracle/breakthrough AFTER she had placed her house in order. I don't believe that it was a word just for me; I believe it's a clarion call that is going out to the entire body in this day & in this hour & it's a call to place things in proper alignment so He can move in our lives & through our lives. I truly believe that until we get things in proper place with HIM then what HE wants to do for us & through will NEVER be accomplished.
God can't move through someone that hasn't placed Him in the proper place in their lives. Matt 6:33 said it best "... seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God & all these things SHALL be added unto you." You can't ever have two things that are FIRST in your life; it's mathematically IMPOSSIBLE! I've seen the lists that have 1; then 1a 1b 1c etc... even though there are letter's by the numbers the very first "priority" you put down will be NUMBER ONE on your list. I believe that 2 Chronicles 20:20 says it best "...put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed" (NASB) The word of God will never fail; if we would place our trust in HIM & His word we are guaranteed to be established & to succeed!!!!
What is God talking to you about to place your house in order & will you join me on the journey of getting prepared to usher in the last great move of God & spiritual awakening in America?
