Are You Asking and Listening to Him?!

The last couple of weeks I have been in a different season with worship time with God.  Sometimes we go through different seasons of worship with Him.  What I mean by this is sometimes He has us in a place where He wants us to dance around and screaming off of balconies or in a car, paint or just sit with Him.  It’s all about where He has you in that moment or season.  SO if HE has you wanting to do something out of your box just trust Him because there is so much victory in being who you are in HIM.  God has put me in some of these seasons of worship with Him and there has been so much healing and freedom.  

This season is a really great season of laying here in complete silence with Him.  Sometimes God gives me pictures of what He is doing or in the people around me, but the last couple of weeks they have been sentences that just pop up in my mind and He answers.  These responses from Him are so amazing to me! They are not just little glimpses but HUGE revelations to the heart.  Sometime I just sit there and weep and sometimes I just laugh because of the JOY that overflows me when I hear Him telling me His heart because He trusts me.  

Just the other day I was sitting here with Him and I said to God “do people really hear me Lord when I speak”? Right after that God said “Do they really hear me when I speak”? I sat there and I could not get that out of my mind.  My heart has been tender ever since I heard that, but how tender is His heart?   

I had a situation that just recently happened to me in Korea.   Where I though I could move and change a situation on my own without even sitting with God and saying is this okay? Well when I did not hear a response from this organization I was so bummed and discouraged.  Of course I went running and crying to God about what was going on and God came in and showed me what happened.   I was completely blindsided when God opened up this door and I overlooked it with something else.  I continue to learn in this country of hearing His voice and listening and waiting!  Sometimes we think our ways are so much better than His, but they aren’t. 

I encourage you to please ask, wait and listen!  He just wants you to hear His heart.  I would love to hear what God spoke to you! Email me or comment back!

 

Deuteronomy 8:3-5 

Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors.  Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.  Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.  Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

The UNDERSTANDING of why I am in Korea!

Being in Seoul, Korea has been a time of trusting and learning as I am here. Before getting here I could not understand why the Lord was calling me into a country and not have anything planned out. The only thing I knew before coming here was it would be a magical journey with Him. I am reminded of Proverbs 2:1-8

My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.

“UNDERSTANDING” is the word that keeps coming up over and over the last week. God has completely unraveled the word understanding in this country to me and it blows me away. Before coming to Korea I would constantly hear “why Korea”? Inside every time I heard that question my heart would beat faster and I would think well why not. You go where Gods calls you too right? So why would Korea be any different than any other place right? I knew that Korea was a first world country, but I also know that when God calls you somewhere you just go……

The first few days being here I would walk, pray and observe. Observing was something I learned on my earlier missions trip to Africa. I learned so much through that time. So once again, I am standing in one of the biggest cities in the world and observing the interaction and the people. Don’t get me wrong I have been praying for this country for a couple of years now and now that I am here my heart has been punctured even more so than before. The things going on in this country are heavy and they need prayer. Instead of looking in judgment at the people I look in His eyes and see the beauty and the pain in the people in Seoul. God wants so much for His children to be drawn to Him and their hearts to be circumcised for Him. Right now God has called me to bring HIS LOVE, ENCOURAGING WORDS AND HOPE TO THE PEOPLE OF KOREA!

Jeremiah 9:25-26

“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh- Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon Moab and all who live in the desert in distant places. For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.”
