God wants to bless you with eternal things that will never lose value or fade into oblivion!

Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you. Haggai 2:19 NKJV

The scriptures should raise questions in our minds. The question on my mind today is does God still speak directly to His people?

God speaks to people in many different ways. He can speak to us in dreams and visions. He speaks to us in the quietness of our thoughts and desires. God speaks to us through other people and the circumstances of life. He is speaking to us through His written Word today.

This morning I was troubled in my spirit. I told the Lord how I was feeling. He spoke to me. Not in a way I could hear with my ears but in a way I could hear with my heart.

The Lord said, “Draw near to me.” How do I know it was God speaking to me? The bible tells us to draw near to God and He will draw near to us.

God speaks to us because He loves us. He wants to bless us.

The Lord highlighted this verse of scripture for me several years ago. I was reading my bible and the letters jumped of the page at me. God was speaking to me. The Lord was saying He would bless me.

When I saw this verse of scripture I wondered if God really did speak to me? Was this verse of scripture really written for me today? By faith I believe it was. God has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams.

God was instructing the children of Israel to build His house. He promised to bless them.

The Lord has the same desires and instructions for us today. God wants us to be about His business. He wants us to build His Kingdom. He promises to bless us.

God is not promising if you serve Him you will hit the lottery or make millions in business. He is saying if we walk in His ways and serve Him you will bear fruit for His Kingdom and glory. Our blessings will be eternal. They will never lose value or fade into oblivion.

Trust God with your life. Trust the Lord to bless you with the true riches of His Kingdom!

The true riches of God’s Kingdom are to see His will carried out in the lives of His people. The true riches of the Kingdom are to see people turn from darkness to light!

Your blessings will be revealed in God’s perfect time. Draw near to Jesus and He will draw near to you!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

God wants to bless you with eternal things that will never lose value or fade into oblivion!
