DAY 11 (2018) - God Really Granted Success to My Journey Yesterday! (Please click here for English podcast)

Silence

1.   Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2.   Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1.   Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2.   Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people


Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to work in you:

     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”


2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

My Listening

            The message I got today from our Lord Jesus Christ is "God really granted success to my journey yesterday".

             Yesterday I had a wonderful experience right after our Time with Abba and Fire on the Altar! I went back to my office and did my blogs/podcasts in English and Chinese and I received a phone call from my wife Michelle. She told me that due to purchasing airline tickets in short notice, one return airline ticket for me to Pawleys Island, South Carolina to attend Bishop Chuck Murphy's funeral is more than $2,000 economic class. I was shock because the normal fee should be around $600!

                Because the topic I received yesterday was "God granted success to your journey", I prayed to Jesus, "Lord, I just completed my blog and podcast on how great you are to grant Abraham's servant success to his journey and now my journey to attend Chuck's funeral is stuck. I don't have that money to purchase that ticket. What should I do Lord? If you want me to go, please show me a way, please, Lord Jesus!"

                 You can't believe what happened right after that prayer. Just like Abraham's servant pray in Genesis 24:15. The Lord said, "Search other nearest airports." Than I opened my computer and searched. Wow! Fly to Charlotte and then drive 3 1/2 hours! Two tickets to Myrtle Beach is $2000 each and two tickets is $4000, and fly to Charlotte is just $600. So, Michelle and I are in a hotel in Charlotte now waiting to drive to Pawleys Island tomorrow morning to attend Bishop Chuck Murphy's Visitation tomorrow at 4pm and funeral Saturday at 2pm. God is great and He is good!

              So, today's Genesis started with the same key word as yesterday again. Abraham's servant used a strong word to Rebekah's brother and mother, "Do not detain me, now that the Lord has granted success to my journey." Wow! "Detain"!

               And then we got a strong response from Rebekah: I will go.

               Yes, when God gives people very clear confirmation with works of miracles and wonders, people's response will be also firm and clear.

               If you go to take a look at what I copied today in the five photos you can see I have so many "because".

               You know what happen? When I was pondering on Genesis 26: 5. God told Isaac why He granted success to Abraham's descendants:
                "because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions."

                If you are willing to follow Abraham's model to really listen and obey, then God will surely grant you success to your journey! You got to believe that!

                  Because it is true and it will surely happen to you if you are willing!

       Dear Lord Jesus,
      Help us to be able to follow Abraham's good example to listen and obey to you so that you will make our journey successfully.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

    Reflect on these questions:
     1.  Do you think my experience yesterday is just a coincidence or a special inspiration from God to you?


    2. How can you change your life accordingly so that you can experience that kind of success?

    3. What have you received from Jesus today?

Let us praise the Lord:
