As some of you know, I occasionally get messages from God. I have preached after such revelations and last night was another connection! To be specific 3:55am I was awakened, urged to pray and while being quiet, I got a message from the spirit.
Couldn’t sleep until I shared it with you because someone reading this is in need of this message…
(Please comment if this word speaks to you!)

Trusting God
How did Abraham, your first father in the faith, look at things?
Abraham, by what he did for God, got God’s approval, he could certainly have taken credit for it; but, this not Abraham’s story, it is God’s story.
What we read is, “Abraham entered into what God was doing for Him, and THAT was the turning point. He TRUSTED God to set him right instead of trying to be right on his own.”
If you work hard and do a good job, you deserve your reward; you don’t call it a gift.
On the other hand, if you see a job that is too big for you, that it’s something only GOD can do, i.e., You could never do it for yourself no matter how hard you worked. Then you know this is a gift from Him.
He said to me, “Akhil, trust Me to do it! Get out of the way.”
Trusting Him IS what gets me right with God!
My work = trusting Him. BTW: This trusting and getting out of the way is hard work for me!
Don’t you see? It was by embracing what God did that Abraham was declared fit before God!
The same way, as I struggle each day with ALS, IF I want to be right in God’s eyes, I have to trust Him. He knows what I need. I have prayed for it. He does things for my good. If I believe this (that He works for my good) I should trust Him.
Same for you! If you are facing a BIG challenge, you have to turn it over to God and trust Him to make it happen without your intervention.
What does that look like?
Mark 11:24 shows us how to turn it over to God and have faith: "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
Bottom line: Trust Him to do what is good for us by building faith.
Faith and only faith moves God into action. Nothing else makes God move. Tears don't, pleading doesn't. Nothing moves God except faith!
Want something big? Let Him do it, have faith, thank Him for it and enjoy watching God show up and show off!
