Jesus hears the call of your heart before the words even leave your mouth!

It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:24 NKJV

God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt. He led them into the Promised Land as a pillar of fire by night and a cloud by day. He parted the Red Sea. They crossed on dry land. He caused the waters to flow back into place and destroyed the Egyptian army.

The Lord provided food and water for His people in the desert. He revealed Himself to the Children of Israel in many ways many times. God revealed His great love for Israel and their special place in His plan for creation.

Israel disobeyed God. They turned their backs on the Lord. They worshipped idols and false gods of their own design. They chose to live in the same way as the nations that surrounded them.

God was with Israel. And yet they never fully gave their hearts to Him. Were they really that stubborn? They were no different than you and I. We are as unfaithful as the children of Israel. We have all made the same poor choices!

God revealed Himself to me. I witnessed the greatest miracles of all. I have seen broken lives, families and hearts restored. I witnessed a man on his death bed turn to faith in Jesus. He passed with his eyes closed because he was not struggling with death. He was led peacefully into the presence of the Lord.

I witnessed the mercy and grace of God with my own eyes. Even in the light of the revelation I received I am unable to fully live my life in obedience to Jesus!

God loved the people of Israel. His love for them was unconditional. God promised to bless and prosper the children of Israel even though they were unfaithful and rebellious.

God loves us. His love for us is unconditional. Jesus will restore the relationship of perfect love He created us for. He will prosper us with joy. He knows we are not perfect. He knows we cannot live sinless lives. God wants us to trust Him who is perfect to live out His life in us and through us!

I have seen children dance on the feet of their parents at weddings and parties. They are able to dance perfectly and in step on the feet of someone who loves them without their feet ever touching the ground!

Jesus wants you to take His hand today. He wants to lead as you dance joyfully and peacefully through life. You can dance through life with joy and peace because Jesus is holding your hand and leading you step by step in perfect rhythm with Him!

Take Jesus’ hand and dance with joy regardless of your circumstances. Jesus hears the call of your heart before the words even leave your mouth!

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!

Jesus hears the call of your heart before the words even leave your mouth!
