This last Sunday while enjoying worship I received a word from our Lord. As it was not appropriate for it to be spoken during service. I wrote it down and saved it for this posting. It went as follows. ” Hear my children, see my children. This day I have set before you a window. A window of opportunity. For I hear your petitions. I know your prayers. I am your answer. I am your opportunity. Therefore do not cover these windows. No curtains. No blinds. No covering. Look and see what I have set before you. This day has been prepared for in advance. Now go and don’t look back.”

This message goes well with the previous posting. Its the next step for many of us. God wants us to be obedient to His ways. He gives us direction and expects us to just say “yes and amen” to Him. Now when we say this, its our time to step out and go. Just like the story of Jesus walking on the water (Matt. 14:22-33). At one point Peter asks if it is the Lord and if so command him to come to Him. So, Jesus says “come.” And Peter walks on the water. Peter didn’t say great answer or that was the correct response. He didn’t stop there and not do anything afterward. No, he stepped out on the water and started walking. This was an opportunity to follow through with his yes and amen. He didn’t say it. He did it.

How many windows of opportunity has our Lord put before us? How many times did we cover them up? How many times have we regretted our actions? These windows are going to come more often for us in the near future. Are we going to say “yes and amen” to them and go to them? It will not be easy by any means. Many times we will be very uncomfortable. This is because we are just not used to it. The more often we do it, the more comfortable we will be. We are being persecuted more now then ever before. So why not give them a reason to do it. Remember that we are to “go into all the world…” talking about Jesus and all that he is. We need to obedient. And this is only one type of opportunity. There may be other ways. Like praying for people. Helping out a needy family. Ministering to the homeless. These are all windows for us to go through and for them to see Jesus through us.

Thank you for reading this. Please be encouraged to share this posting with others. Don’t let the opportunity pass you by. Or worse, don’t cover it up.

Be blessed, Ken

Well everyone here is a post that can change you immensely. All you need to do is think and meditate on it. Afterward just let it do its thing. So, are you ready for it. Then here it is. God told me a little while ago that “He is as simple as yes and amen.” There you have it. Thats all there is. its time to go. Good day everyone good bye.

Ok , I am not done . But those words are just so mind boggling. They have gotten me to a point of thought that I just don’t want to get away from. In fear of missing something. We (especially men) tend to make things more complicated then they need to be. We look for reasons or for some justification to take it deeper than it should go. Why do we keep doing this? God hasn’t made it complicated. We have done a fine job of this ourselves.

One person who I believe understood this was the Apostle Paul. He was told to go back to Jerusalem. Everyone at everywhere he stopped told him just about the same thing. That it won’t be good. He will be beaten, mistreated and so on. Yet he still went. Why? To be obedient to what our Lord Jesus told him to do. It was as tho he said “yes and amen.” He was even told not to worry about what to say. That Jesus would speak for him. Give him the words to say. Wow, talk about faith in action.

So why can’t we wrap our minds around this simple thought. Is it because it takes us out of the equation. Requires us to think of Him first and us later. To put God before ourselves. Its not easy to do. And always fun. It requires us to not worry about understanding it. Just to be obedient.

Since the time I received this from our Lord, I have been trying to apply this. For being a servant of our Lord it has made things easier. My attitude about doing things has been better. I’m not thinking about what’s in it for me. I know I’m on the right track because things have gotten better and worse. The enemy of our souls has been attacking more so lately. A good sign that I’m headed the right way. I’ve had more peace and blessings are flowing my way.

At this point I am going to say this. Just say “yes and amen.” Try it . Our Lord won’t disappoint you.

Be blessed, Ken
