More than Ok!
Have you Heard God's voice? has He spoken to You? have you ever gotten an answer from Him? I have always been taught that God answers in different ways, and it's true. I remember praying for roller blades when I was Little, because my dad didn't have money to get them, or a Barbie, and after praying for it my grandma or somebody else would buy them. As a teenager I seriouly questioned if God was real, and now that I think about it He did speak to me, but I forgot. And I have always read the story of the people of Israel, how they always forgot all the miracles and what God did for them over and over again, and here I am forgetting about God's miracles and the times He has spoken to me personally. I remember one time I asked God, if He was really there and was listening to me, that I wanted to know that, I wanted to believe in Him, and prayed for patience and in tears asking Him for a sign, and It was noon, in the jungle, in the middle of a sunny day and I said, Lord can you make it rain now? and the Lord knew my heart and how I was humbly and desesperately seeking Him at that time...and He did, for a few minutes it rained. I had completely forgot about that until today.
Last monday, during Ministry Night here at YWAM Kona, we were praying for God to open our ears and hearts so that we could hear His voice. It's been a while since I have stopped the business of life and actually listen to Him. I pray....but I forgot the part after praying, to wait for an answer. And the worship leader said that we can take our doubts and questions and burdens to Him and He will answer, like it says in Jeremiah 33:3 "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" So I prayed and told God this " I have a thousand questions, I have doubts and fears, and I could ask you about our future and where and how....but I will ask you only this ...are we going to be ok? I don't need to know the whole plan for us, I just want to know if we will be ok? " and then...they kept singing and I kept singing....after a few minutes, the person leading worship came back up and said " someone here tonight, said to God that the only thing they needed to know is that if everything will be ok, and YES it will be OK, more than OK" and then she left and everyone kept singing.
I was amazed! those were my exact words! and I prayed in my head, I didn't say it out loud! My Father, listened to me and answered my question! and even though it looks hard, it looks imposible, I know the one who has called us here, and the One who has provided for us and is the same God that hears me, and understands my fears and concerns for me and my family and He said we will be OK.
