Ask Me and I will Tell you

Jeremiah 33:3 (NLT) “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.”

The Lord spoke this word to me as I slept about 2 weeks ago. At that time I did not fully understand the magnitude of which its power would begin to impact and affect my daily walk with Him. In my personal devotion to the Lord I have found that He is so awesome that He will speak a Word to us in preparation for the place that He knows He is taking us. Often times in my own walk, the situation is right upon me and before I know it I find myself in the place where this Word, if fully received, empowers and equips me to walk through the given circumstances. This was such the case again as I began to feel a great weight of heaviness suddenly the other day. I immediately began to seek the Lord for the burden that seemed to envelop me. And once again, there it was; my Word exploding in my spirit. “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.” I suddenly realized that this burden that I felt was coming from a few days of climaxing uncertainty about this new place I now find myself in. I had felt a growing anxiety about my provision and protection in the days ahead and I knew the heaviness that I now felt was an extension of that anxiety. God is so faithful in His promise to lead and guide our steps, because my last word was, Philippians 4:6 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God” and I walked around confessing that word for weeks. I believe that when we are faithful step by step He will provide and He will guide. So here I am having confessed this Word and now in the manifestation of the power that my confession holds, the enemy of my soul comes to challenge me to try to uproot it and displace me from my path so that I might not experience the fullness of its fruit. Now in this moment racked by anxiety He brings forth my next word, Ask and I will tell you. So that is what I did and this is what he said.

And the Lord says, “With loving kindness have I drawn you, but by way of crisis have I exposed you and revealed who you really are. Your struggle is an indication that you are in a season of transition. I Am developing your character; which is the part of your soul that is eternal. Your flesh desires to hold on to all that it has but it is only in allowing Me to strip you of yourself will you experience the dynamic transition that I have destined for you. During your transition I will force those things out of you that are not a reflection of Me. As your surrender to this work, you will experience a time of harvest and productivity. Your resisting My hand has wearied you, but now I say let go of all that has so easily entangled you and stand fast in the liberty by which the Word has set you free. Be elevated to the realm of freedom that your soul and spirit has been longing for. Do not allow yourself to become entangled again in all that has enslaved you in the past. Now is your moment of crossing over, forget the former things. Yes, I Am doing a new thing, press into the new and forget the things of your past. I Am a God of continuous movement, so let us walk on together to the joy that is set before you.”

Today ask the Lord for your next word, walk it out faithfully and trust Him for the next Word. He is faithful to those who prove themselves faithful to trust and obey Him every step of the way. Provision has been made for your next step. Ask Him and He will tell.
