Praying Generation – II (From The Heaven’s Oven)

January 31, 2009 in Leaders, Spirituality with 17 Comments

Can I talk to my praying generation?
I feel like sharing something that God is personally teaching me.
Jesus was led by the Spirit! WOW!
Jesus was led to seek God! WOW!
In fact He fasted for 40 long days seeking God!
But guess what happened after that fast, it was only after that fast that He was tempted like never before!!! Scripture says now not only was He led but He was empowered by the power of the Spirit. WOW! And what happened after the 40 days of being set apart? Jesus was rejected in Nazareth!!!

This was His first conference after being led by the Spirit, His first conference after being empowered by the Spirit. He was facing controversy, questioning, and rejection! Does that mean He failed? ABSOLUTELY NOT! He was right in the will of God! Some of us prayed, prayed specifically for some things to move in our lives and things that we didn’t expect happened. Maybe your visa got rejected, or was it a job that meant financial security or maybe it was a girl- the love of your life. You’ve been left with nothing but the same old temptations and the old rejections! Rejected, yet Jesus was fulfilling His destiny in God! I wonder who I am talking to. I pray God would lead the right ones to read this blog! Because just when you are wondering what is happening with you in spite of all the prayer, all the fasting, God wants to speak to your spirit, mighty warrior do not cease, for the plans of God are unfolding just like I said in the previous blog! Continue to knock at the doors of heaven! There is Hope! You are going to see things what our previous generations have not seen!

Jesus while speaking in Nazareth, spoke something powerful that the praying generation has to hear, there were many widows in Nazareth yet Elijah was not sent to any of them but to a widow in Zarephath. And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet yet not one of them was cleansed – except to Naaman the Syrian. (Luke 4) Remember this is how it is going to be with us, just because we pay a price in the presence of God does not mean that a hundred things must happen. I want to be there ready and available when that one thing that God planned to happen through me!

So when the rest of the 99 things that I wanted and people expected does not happen, my spirit shall not be upset but rejoice in the fact that I am still in the will of God. Therefore, my dear friends who are after the heart of God continue to seek God!
PURSUE GOD! Decide in your heart: whatever happens after that or whatever does not happen after that shall not touch my spirit! I will continue to be in the plan of God, fulfilling the destiny of God every minute no matter where I am!
We have peace with GOD.

At the pleasure of the Masters service,
Shyju

    Blessed is the young generations who have rejected the youthful lusts that are always laid before them. Blessed are they for they pursue God. Blessed are they because they thirst for righteousness & they shall be satisfied……….
