I
will tell you how to get God's ear, but you have to
listen! No doubt you have heard said: "The Lord Helps
Those Who Help Themselves". Did you know that, this
scripture is "not" found anywhere in the bible?
Did you know that, "this" scripture is totally contrary
and against the teachings of Jesus Christ?
It is a "Man
Made saying", Ignore it!
What
is hanging over your head? What danger is at your door
right now? Is it enemies out to harm you? Is your
marriage falling apart? Are you threatened with jail or
prison? Bad health? Debt? Whatever it is, you've come to
the right place for help!
No, I
do not mean this website, I mean when you said "Help me
God". It may not feel like it yet, but you are exactly
in the right place. Stay there if you want God to help
you!
As
you may have guessed by now, I'm not God, I'm just a guy
who knows him. The guy who several years ago himself
cried out to God and to my surprise, he answered! To my
further surprise, he then started dealing with my
enemies and those who were out do me harm.
I
have to admit, I was surprised but happy. That was more
than I even hoped and prayed for, but God didn't stop
there. He started blessing me and prospering me.
Frankly, It just blew me away, and it still does!
Later
I had to ask myself "What did I do so right, that God
would step in and come to my defense the way he did?". The answers
became pretty obvious and I think I can tell you exactly
how to do the same.
When
I asked for God's Help, I was at a point in my life where
nobody else could help me. I was down about as far as
you could go. One of the things I learned was that
sometimes God himself will put you there, because you
are too stubborn for him to reach any other way.
If
you have reached the point where you have no where else
to turn, there is a 99% chance that God is calling you!
If it has not sunk in yet, that is an incredible honor!
Think about it, If the president or a famous actor or
rock star called you, you would be thrilled!
That
is really nothing compared to God calling you! This is
not only the time to pray and ask God, it is the time to
listen.
WHAT TO DO SO
GOD WILL LISTEN
First
let me give you the quick and simple version in just 3
words. "PUT GOD FIRST". Sounds easy doesn't it? Trust
me, It's not! However, once you truly do this, God will
claim you as his own and God viciously protects and
takes care of his own. Then, when you plead to God,
he will not only listen, he will respond.
HOW TO PUT GOD FIRST
The
quickest example of this would be fasting! For
instance, when you fast you are saying to God: "Lord, I
am putting you above my most basic need to survive,
food" or God, I am putting you first before my strongest
desires, even sex.
Matthew 4:4
MAN SHALL NOT
LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT
OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.
Fasting does not have to be strictly food. It is
anything you might put before God. As far as sex or
anything that involves your spouse, this should be a
mutual agreement or the husbands decision. (period)
If
you are not married abstaining from sex is to
acknowledge to God that you trust him to take care of
all your needs in this area. He "will" send you the
perfect spouse if you don't take things into your own
hands!
When
you cry to God for help, step back and let him! We are human
and the minute our problems seem to let up, we tend to
tell God: Okay, step aside, I'll take it from here! That
is not putting God first and you will quickly lose any
blessing God started to give you. Be patient.
PRAY AND TALK TO
GOD OFTEN
It is
written numerous times in the bible to pray and ask God
over and over again for what you need. Jesus even told
parables telling us to be unrelenting when making a
petition to God.
The
point is, don't just say "help me God", You say
it over and over again: Be
persistent. Keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking.
GET RIGHT WITH
GOD
If
you are doing anything that you feel is offensive to
God, Stop it now! I am not talking about drinking or
smoking. I am talking about the things you do and the
way you think. Whether you drink or
smoke, is not a scriptural matter. However, gossip,
jealousy, hate, envy and similar things are highly
significant to God.
God
cares about the things you say and do. The evil or
revengeful plans you devise against your enemy could be
your downfall and totally block Gods power from healing,
protecting or blessing you.
It
does not matter whether your enemy deserves it or not.
I'm sure they do, but leave revenge to God. What you
don't realize is, once you develop this kind of heart
out of love and respect for God, he will totally crush
your enemies. He will crush your sickness, divorce,
legal problem or any other adversary facing you.
I'll
admit, it's hard to do, but I know it works. I did it!
Trusting God is one of the few things I have ever been
successful at in my life and it pulled all the other
areas in my life together.
My
final word to you is forget your problem and concentrate
on God. I know, easy for me to say, but if you are at
the point where you are pleading to God for help, then there
is little "you" can do about it anyway.
Give
it to God Now! And let him take care of it. You will be
glad you did.
God Bless You
