In the Bible God tells us to write down our visions and make them plain.
The Lord Gives His Answer:
The Lord replies, "Write down the message I am showing you in a vision. Write it clearly on the tablets you use. Then a messenger can read it and run to announce it. (Habakkuk 2:2, NIRV.)
This is a compilation of weekly devotionals that God impressed upon my heart to send to the twenty people that I had in my e-mail address book. I saw for myself how the word of God had the power to change and transform lives. Whether spoken or written, His word is sharper than a double-edged-sword. God's word will never return void and He is no respecter of persons. What God has done for one, He will do for all. Trust, trust, trust and believe!
Could it be that your day-by-day experiences with an all-knowing God could actually turn your life into miracles, peace, and prosperity in the name of Jesus Christ?
Read, pray, write, and be Blessed, Trish Hart.
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." (Mark 10:27, NIV)
What is going on in your life today that seems like an impossible situation to you? I think that everyone should have this scripture hanging in every room of your house. This scripture makes it very clear that anything that you can believe God for, He can make happen.
Don't just dismiss this scripture, take it to heart, write down your vision, make it plain and then go to God in prayer and remind Him that He told you that anything is possible with Him. It doesn't even matter what Jesus was referring to when He said this, because the words all things, covers everything-Amen?
When I read this, it caused me to think, "Okay, what is it that I really want and need out of life?" Ask yourself that question and if you are anything like me, the answer doesn't come to you immediately. Why is that?
God has given us all a measure of faith and the Spirit inside of you knows that if you can really attach your faith to that scripture; whatever you really want out of life God can make happen, and you want to give it careful thought before you take your petition to Him.
I am currently living in a small two-bedroom townhouse and I believe that God is going to make a way for me to have a bigger house, but when I asked myself that question; I felt like asking for a house would seem cheesy; after all, I'm taking my petition to the Almighty God; why not ask what seems to be impossible? God has answered so many of my prayers; I can't think of one single thing that I feel is impossible with God. What I really want from Him is to see that my books make it into the hands of as many readers that can be led to the foot of the cross as a result of my writings.
I pray that I will be a person that God uses to help advance His Kingdom, and that's what is truly the most important thing in the world to me.
Can you imagine how excited I would be walking through the front door of my dream home? Many of you have already experienced this-did you just love that day? Of course you did. Now imagine me going to check my mailbox and there are so many letters that they all can't fit in the box. I see a young boy across the street pulling a wagon. I signal him over and bless him with a $10 bill for helping me get all of my letters into the house.
I sit on my couch and start opening up the letters and they are full of things like;
Thank You, Trish, for helping me realize just how much God and His son Jesus love me, it has changed my life.
Thank You Trish, for allowing Jesus to use you. Through your writings, I have learned to stand on God's promises and He has put me on the path to righteousness-it has changed my life!
Thank You Trish, I have battled depression for many years, I did what you said, I wrote down my vision, I made it plain, I then reminded God that He said that all things are possible with Him. My depression is gone! My life has been changed and I'm giving Jesus all of the glory!
Thank You Trish, I am currently in prison. I have been here for three years and until I read your book You Are Never Alone I felt like my life was over. You have given me hope in Jesus that is so strong, that it could never be taken away from me. I will be released in two years and I have made a decision to serve the Lord just like you have. I have decided that once I'm released, my plans are to become a drug counselor. Maybe I can save others from going through what I have been through.
My vision doesn't stop there. Now I imagine the defeated emotions of the child with that depressed mother with a smile on his face; he is now full of hope, he now has joy in his little heart because he has a mother with a smile on her face and she is full of hope.
I imagine that woman walking out of that prison with her head held up high, walking with purpose and a dream. I see an article in the human-interest column of a small town newspaper of how her past experience of drug abuse and the love of Jesus Christ is changing the lives of the youth in her community.
I've only opened up four of my letters out of a whole wagon full, and I'm already getting all stirred-up and excited! Does this vision excite me more than the vision of that dream home? -Absolutely!
I have just shared my vision with you, I have written it down, I have made it plain and I have reminded Jesus that He told me in Mark 10:27 that anything is possible with Him.
My prayer for you,
Jesus, thank you for your love and your undeserved favor. Forgive us for being sinners. I am praying a special prayer into the lives of anyone who is reading this today; that You will send your Spirit into their hearts in such a powerful way that it gives them a crystal clear vision of what they need in their lives to be used by you to help advance Your Kingdom. Make them see that if they will start tending to your business that you will see to it that they have everything they could ever need. One of the hardest things for us to accomplish is the desire to help others instead of just trying to help ourselves. I am standing on the scripture that All things are possible with you. For what ever is written in your name that we attach our faith to, will manifest in our lives. Thank You Jesus for being such an awesome example for us and for loving us enough to shed your innocent blood to cover our sins, Amen.
Don't ever think that the small things that you do in the lives of others in the name of Jesus Christ are not enough. His word is sharper than a double-edged-sword. Plant those little seeds in His name and watch that thing grow! Nothing or nobody can kill a seed that has been planted by the Lamb of God. Allow Him to use you.
