Here I Am, Lord Use Me!

Have you felt God move yet? Has He spoken to you since we began this month of prayer and fasting? I’ve heard reports already from some that He has spoken! You know God wants to…He’s just waiting for you to come along side His will. Wednesday evening at Bible study we got off on the subject of prayer…actually it wasn’t “off the subject”…it was where God led us. Anyway, I made the statement that most of the time our prayers are not what God wants to hear from us. Sure, we are to intercede for others, but I believe we should spend more of our prayer time asking God what He would have us do for someone rather than praying that they are “fixed.” Now, I am not a physician, and I cannot go offer someone a remedy or healing by my hands, but what if God wants me to go to that person and pray for them or anoint them? Perhaps God is waiting for ME to share the Good News with someone I know who is lost? Or that person who has dropped out of church, that person you’ve invited so many times to come back to church, maybe God just wants YOU to go and sit with them and hear their pains. Rather than asking God to “fix” them or their problems, I think God is waiting for us to make ourselves available to help. If we would just listen as much as we talk to God…once we begin exploring the mind and will of God…we might just see a mighty movement of God’s hand. I have no doubt He wants to move in our lives…in the life of Beulah…but will we allow it? I hope the Prayer Calendar will help.
