We let the Lord take our heart through a process.

Just as Peter had to go through a series of events to be ready to be used in an extraordinary way, we realize that God has a process for all of us. What the Lord worked in Peter was a new identity, a dependency upon the Lord so that he would not trust in His own strength.

We learn to lean on the strength of God, not taking things into your…

1 Peter 1:7 AMP - "So that the genuinenes of your faith may be tested, your faith…

REVEALING THE INACCESSIBLE

In Jeremiah 33:3, we are told to call to Him so He can reveal things that were once hidden but now have become accessible. He wants to bring restoration and establish His purpose and plan in our lives—not man’s plan but His plan. All we need to do is ask.

Psalm 33:10–12: "The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;He makes the plans of…

ARISING INTO A NEW PLACE

In Song of Solomon 2, the Lover (Jesus) is wooing His Beloved to a new place in verse 10, "Rise up, my beloved, my fair one, and come away," he invites.

SITTING AT THE FEET OF THE KING AS ROYALTY

MANIFESTING HIS PRESENCE THROUGH OUR LIVES

Psalm 91:1 -- "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty."

Jesus lived a life of of prayer, and when He needed dedicated prayer time He would send crowds and, most likely, potential resources away so that He could be with the Father. As a result He would not move, speak, or do anything that the Father did not ask Him to…

LIFTING UP MY HEART TO JESUS

1 Samuel 3:1 -- "In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions."

If Eli could not hear from God, the people would not receive messages from Him.

MOVING IN A NEW DIRECTION

To secure our attention and place us on the pathway God desires, there are strategies that He employs that are very effective. As much as we are not to be ignorant of satan's devices (2 Cor. 2:11), we must be even more knowledgeable of the ways of the Lord (Ps. 25:4). Knowing God's ways will result in us experiencing His mighty acts (Ps. 103:7).



Three ways God works to…
