We Prepare The Way

Good Morning, I dreamed about this post last night. Often times we treat God as a genie, "Dear Lord, bless me with....., guide me in ......, show me....." It is fine to pray this way but then what do we wait idle to hear God's voice? No we prepare. When you pray, when you ask God to bless you with something, or to take you somewhere or to show you something you need to get prepared.

Prayer requires action don't pray for healing agianst diabeties and eat burgers and fries all the time, don't pray that God delivers you from smoking then surround yourself with smokers, don't ask God to reveal new things to you when you have yet to act on the past things He has shown. I was talking to this lady at work yesterday about you walk in Christ when you are saved. This is what I said.

I have never stopped running the race for Christ, there were times in my life when I walked, times when I jogged, times when I ran and times where I had to sprint. When Im walking God is talking He may say for example pick up a bottle of water, OK I do that and continue on. He then says get a hoodie its going to get cold, well the cold is a way off so I will wait on that. He then says get a hoodie, and a pancho it is going to rain. It doesn't look like rain so I continue on my way. I hear the preacher speak a good word so I start to jog, then the anointing falls and I start to run. All the while God is adding to the list hoodie, pancho, boots, gloves.... Well at this point I start to get a little chilly and I start to see the approaching rain and I have to sprint to get all this stuff God has told me from the beginning to get. Because I waited sure I get a little cold, I get a little wet, but I never stop moving for the Lord.

I will leave you with this. I would rather be sprinting for God and have Him tell me I forgot something, then walk for Him and be caught in the rain. God bless have a good day.
