First Peter 5:7 says casting all of your care upon him for he cares for you this is what you
do every morning you you will be shocked how it will change your day casting this word casting
means to throw throw it on God listen you were not designed to carry you were designed to cast
You're a sheep sheep were not designed to carry burdens sheep don't carry burdens
Shepherd carries the burdens shepherd leads them besides still waters and the green
pastures the shepherd does that we just follow the shepherd. Prayer is the transference of a burden
So when you pray just pray what's on your mind you don't have to uh pray for world peace if world
peace isn't on your mind but if it is pray for it pray for your family pray for your business pray
for whatever meetings you have that day just pray okay now I believe you ought to schedule a time
and I believe for me I feel like the lord said it's the first of your day I think it's like
tithing when you give the first 10 percent to God the rest is blessed I think you need to give the first of
your day first of the day I'm going to spend some time with God. Are you really meeting with God
every day and speaking with God are you talking with God or are you talking to God
It makes a difference here here's what I'm talking about are you meeting with a person every day
Not going through a regimen of what you're supposed to pray about that day and how many
scriptures you're supposed to read I'm asking you are you meeting with a person the person
who loves you and whom you love I'm talking about every believer spending time with Jesus
every day can you imagine how it would change your life I wonder what God wants to tell you tomorrow
I wonder what problems in your marriage he wants to take care of
I wonder what problems in your business he wants to take care of
I want you to see him in a room in your house
sitting there every morning
Hoping that you don't walk by that room
Just dreaming that his son or his daughter
would open the door and come in and sit down and say
Good morning dad
and just take a few moments to talk to him
I'm just telling you that the person who loves you would like to spend some time with you
and I want you to see it as that as a privilege we get to spend time
with the creator of the universe and many times we're too busy
My goodness how much difference there would be in our life if every time we had a problem
and we felt fear the very next thing that we did was set apart a little bit of time to seek God
We don't need to call up somebody else I always say all the time that don't even know what they're
doing and ask what we ought to do let's find out what God's battle plan is what God's battle
strategy is in each battle that we have we need to hear directly from God one word from God is
worth more than ten thousand words from people you say hear from God can we do that absolutely
you can be led by the Holy Spirit you can hear from God and you may not hear words
I don't look for voices all the time but I'm telling you when you seek God you will
instinctively know what you need to do you'll be led by the spirit and even if you don't know right
that minute as you continue to go forward you will be led and know what you're supposed to do
so we need to learn how to hear from God one word from God can literally change your life forever
one word from God can give you the courage to confront anything but we're not going to hear from
God if we won't set apart time to seek God you take it to God you seek him you separate some time
you worship first you present your need you tell him that you can't solve your own problem then you
wait when you're waiting on God just keep saying God is working God is working God is working in my
life God is working. There are some things that you have been trying to fight in your own strength and
figure out in your own flesh and God says I want my battle back he says you don't have to fight it
just stand firm and take your position so in other words you don't have to fight it
you just have to face it and if you will face it God says I will fight it
I don't know any better news in the world than to stand in the reality that the God
of heaven and earth is fighting my battles this very moment. See when we pray we need to start
immediately believing God is working we don't wait until we see something to say God is working
we believe that God is working in God's economy faith always comes before manifestation
amen I mean let's be honest some of y'all today the last thing you felt like saying was
I've seen you move a mountain and I believe I'll see you do it again my faith is low right now and
that's exactly where some of you are asking God today how much longer is it going to be like this
because see if God would tell me how many laps I had to take I'd be good I could just
set my clock this is how long it is this is how much it is this is what it's gonna take
and then I can just settle in and I can walk it's no problem I'll walk but Joshua never told the
people how many times they would have to walk why God doesn't want you to trust in your knowledge
he doesn't want you to trust in your senses he wants to know will you take another lap even when
you don't know if these walls are ever going to fall I wish I could tell you that this might be
seventh march around the walls of Jericho but I don't know what I do
know is that every time you walk in faith in obedience to God even if the walls don't fall
God is working inside of you. See I think if you're really interested in God you
seek him just as hard when you don't have a problem as when you do have a problem
and anytime that we have an enemy coming against us
we don't always do the first thing that we should do
the first thing that we should do anytime we have a problem or an enemy coming against us
the very first thing that we should always do is seek God and so the first thing we want to do
is go to God and go to God about everything God I'm not capable of doing this
I wouldn't know what to do even if I tried but my eyes are on you I know you can do what I cannot do
