ACKNOWLEDGING THE LORD

Jonelle Maxwell

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
[Proverbs 3:5;6]

As I have written in times past concerning the time we are in, there’s more the Lord is desiring us to see and know. On yesterday, I had an very interesting conversation with a brother in Christ. He asked, “What is the Lord saying to you to the Body of Christ at this time?” I did not go into details. I just pondered the question, although the Lord had been speaking much.

Early this morning, in a dream, I remember a lady singing a song about acknowledging the Lord. After she sung the song, I remember falling to my knees weeping because the people there was not acknowledging the Lord anymore. They was not acknowledging His presence.

I believe we are living in a day and time that we, as the Body of believers must get back to putting the Lord first. We must make Him our first love again.

*But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. [Revelation 2:4]

During the dream, there was such a silence in the heavens because the saints of the Lord was not crying out to Him anymore. I remember years ago, the saints would always have testimonies of how they sought the Lord and He answered every single time. I remember my bible mentor spoke about the time his mother trusted the Lord so much that she would turn her plate over in fasting petitioning the Lord for food that day, and He would come through.

*But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. [Matthew 4:4]

Again, I believe we are living in the day where we are going to have to trust God for everything.

A few years ago, the Lord took me on a little journey. No one understood why I had to go in the direction the Lord was leading me. I was being persecuted because it appeared as if I was being disobedient. The Lord was teaching me how to trust Him on a total different level. There was times I asked the Lord if I could do certain things to make some money, but He never opened the door to do so. He revealed so much to me during that time (and still is) that is weird to man but radical in God.

Understand, when God want to use you to teach others how to trust Him, He will have no problem in using you to do it. That’s if you are willing and obedient to take on the task. Sometimes we tell God yes not quite knowing what that yes is going to entail. BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL TO REWARD!

*If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. [Isaiah 1:19]

Today, I take the time to encourage the saints to keep trusting God. Keep acknowledging Him in everything you do. If you have not been acknowledging Him as you should, don’t feel condemned. Just repent, ask God for forgiveness, and start anew. Our Father is faithful and He is willing to help us when we cry out to Him.

*Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. [Jeremiah 33:3]

*There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[Romans 8:1]

*If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[1 John 1:9]
