The Right Key

Following God’s Plan

A while back, God gave me a dream in which He offered me three examples of how we get in such a hurry trying to make our healing happen that we miss the miracle He intends for us. He told me I was to speak to others about what He was showing me in my dream. I am sharing what He showed me here.

In His first example, He showed me how we can know the combination of a lock, and I saw one of the locks like we used to have on our school lockers, and when we get into such a big hurry that we dial in one wrong number and the lock doesn’t open. We try again and again, and still the lock won’t open for us. We finally stop trying and we slowly dial the numbers we have memorized and our lock opens!

His second example followed immediately right after the first. He showed me how we can have the key to our front door in our hand and maybe it’s raining and dark outside and we go to put the key into the door and it doesn’t seem to be the right key. We look at the key in the dim light and we confirm to ourselves it is the right key. “But, why doesn’t it work?” we ask ourselves. Giving up we determinedly and very slowly insert the key into the key slot and twist it. The door opens!

The third example like the others immediately was given to me. In this example I was holding a piece of cardboard about 24” square. There was a small hole in the center of the cardboard. In my right hand I held a powerful flashlight which was turned on. I held the light behind the cardboard. I was standing before a congregation of people asking them if they could see my light. They admitted they couldn’t. I asked them in which way did I need to move my light so they could see it and they suggested to the left and up, then down and to the right but still they couldn’t see it. I asked them if they would allow me to direct my light toward them and they finally agreed. I then pointed my bright light through the hole and pointed it directly toward each of them in turn. When they quit trying to tell me how to shine my light and allowed me to do it they could see my light.

I believe what God was showing me was we know He heals us, He said He already has, but we get into such a big hurry we lose our patience with Him. When we don’t see it happening fast enough we to try to make it happen ourselves, or else we give up on Him thinking His healing isn’t working for us. His Word confirms His intentions for our healing. Jesus died for healing! By His stripes we are healed! God told me to speak of these; His examples, to those who would listen. He said, “Stop, ask Me, and then wait for My instructions.”

When we are patient and allow God to be who He is, and trust Him, we see miraculous results! We have the right key. We just need to come into right alignment with God’s plan not following our own.

A Dead Battery

Last year, around the end of summer, our power-mower gave up the ghost. It was getting harder and harder to start every time I wanted to use it. So, I finally gave in to buying a new one. Bless her heart, my wife Sally told me if she didn’t have to pull that difficult, old starter-cord every time she wouldn’t mind helping me mow every once in a while. She even said it might be good exercise for her. This extra help with the yard work would be welcomed I thought. I went online checking out the outrageous prices of new lawnmowers; it had been four or five years since I bought our last one. Most of the retailers; Lowes, Home Depot,  WalMart and Sears were priced about the same, still way too much for me, but if I was going to get something Sally could start easily it would have to be one of the new key-start models where she didn’t have to pull a cord, she could just turn the key, like her car, and it would start right up. I bought one of these new models.They are great! Last week, an

We Rob God

Were God a greedy God He would expect ninety percent of our earnings leaving us the remaining ten to support our needs, He doesn’t though. Instead, He asks exactly the opposite of our potential, one tenth, a tithe. Have we excluded God out of our plans? Sure we have! Do we continue to exclude Him from what we want to believe is rightfully our world, our government, our lives? We not only exclude Him, we deny Him of what is rightfully His from the very beginning. Even worse, as a nation, a world, a people we deny He exist! We have declared He has no place in our government, our public buildings, and our schools. Pity us, it is no wonder we are under a curse as a nation with so much turmoil in our lives – we are robbing God. This is not a sermon, but wait, yes, it is! We are truly guilty of “me-ism.” We have become a world of “what about me?” Our insatiable greed has consumed us, so we have no choice but to continue feeding our monster, because it’s demanding more and more. Nothing is

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
