WHILE I’M WORKING, DON’T GET WEARY

Do not lose heart or grow weary.  I speak to those who have faced upheaval and been forced to accept a change that you did not initiate. Beloved, I know you have expected and anticipated breakthrough on various levels but have encountered delays.  Do not become discouraged and give up hope, but rather a time to shift your focus so that you are looking ahead with hope rather than looking behind with regret. I am still working in your life.

Rise up in the faith and assurance that I have begun a good work in you, and I will bring it to completion. Take this time to be rooted in faith and to exercise patience, for surely you have established your plans, but I will direct your steps.  There is work behind the scenes that you have no knowledge of, and this work is for your benefit.  Trust Me that you will come through this time with greater faith and strength.  Rejoice in this work, and do not give up hope.  

WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?

There are times when we encounter great difficulties that we question whether God will do certain things in our lives.  Things go from bad to worse; time is passing by, so we think about other possible solutions we will make just in case things don’t pan out.  We begin gathering our emotions, reaching out to others to ensure we are well-prepared for an undesired outcome.

However, when the Lord looks at this, it might be viewed as a lack of faith in His promises. God’s word encourages us to walk by faith despite the hard times we face.  Regardless of what the situation dictates, His word tells us to only believe, and that all things are possible if we believe.

Someone may be walking through a difficult time right now, and you’re preparing for what to do if things don’t work out.  Why not have faith and wait on the Lord, and EXPECT God to perform a miracle just for you?  He has not forgotten you.  It’s never too late for the Lord.  He’s never failed and never will.

Psa. 138:1-3 I give you thanks, O LORD, with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods. I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name. As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength. (NLT)

Let this day be a day of praise and thanksgiving unto the Lord for who He Is. Let this day be a day when you give Him praise just because you love Him.  It does not matter what you are going through this day; it doesn't matter what the situation looks like, rise up heart filled with thanksgiving.

Show the Lord how much you love Him by praising Him in the midst of the trial.  When you give Him thanks and praise Him in the midst of your storm, you are telling the enemy, he is defeated, and the Lord has given you the victory.  Praise Me in and through every situation. When you are frustrated and discouraged, praise Me and sing a song of praise. That is how David found strength in the Lord; He praised the Lord.

Be encouraged this day.  Rebuke that spirit of heaviness and put on the garment of praise. Lift up your and decree victory over the enemy!  Tap into the joy that is already in your spirit and give God the praise. Laugh and smile. Rejoice and praise the Lord for how He has watched over you.  Praise Him; for He is more than worthy to be praised.

Now, take time today to smile, and dwell in His presence.  Rest in Him this day, and know that the joy of the Lord is your strength; and when you think about all that the Lord has done for you, give Him thanks and praise His Holy Name!  O’Lord we give you thanks. 

READ AND MEDITATE ON HIS WORD:

Psa. 145:2-3 I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever. Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.

Isa. 61:3  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

1Pe. 2:9  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

1Th. 5:16 -18 Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you

PRAYING FOR BREAKTHROUGH

My child,

I am calling you to a new level in your prayer life. I want you to press into Me like never before. Seek Me early. Go into your secret place. Seek My face and cry out unto Me. Pray, pray in My name, and don’t leave your secret place until you know that I heard you. This is what I want you to do, and do it even more when you are in a corner surrounded by impossibilities. Pray and faint not, because that which seems impossible to you, is possible with Me. Oh yes, it’s possible.

THINGS I WANT YOU TO LEARN

Precious One, there are some things I want you to learn.  I want you to learn who I am. I want you to believe in what I am about to say to you, and walk in a new way this day. I want you to believe in My word; to become a weapon of mass destruction to the enemy, and destroy everything he’s touched in your life.

I want you to learn to believe that by My stripes, your body is healed, even when you get a bad report from the doctor.  I want you to learn that I have supplied your every need when you are in the midst of trials and hardships. I want you to learn to have faith in Me when I’m quiet, and you don’t feel My presence.  I want you to trust in Me and believe My word when I say that nothing is impossible for Me.

HOW WILL YOU HANDLE IT?

Child,

There will be times when you will not receive everything you want.  When I don’t give you something you want; please know there is always a reason for not honoring your request. No loving father would give their child everything they wanted; for if he did, how would you ever learn to be grateful? I promised to supply all your needs; not your wants.  No good thing will I withhold from those who love Me, and I will supply your needs.  

Yes, I know in My word, I said if you delight yourself in Me, I will give you the desires of your heart.  When I said that, it was never My intention to give you whatever you wanted, any time you wanted it.  My child, it was always My expectation that as you delighted in Me, you would grow and mature in Me, and your desires would line up with My perfect will for you.  And when you are walking in My will for your life, never would you desire anything that wouldn’t glorify My name.

NOTHING CATCHES GOD BY SURPRISE

I knew this day wasn’t going to be easy for you, but I already had it worked out for your good.  You may not understand why things happen the way they do; however, I want you to know nothing ever happens that I’m not aware of.  There is nothing you can you go through that will ever catch Me by surprise.  Everything that I allow to happen in your life is planned to draw you closer to Me. So, don’t stress over what the enemy is doing.  He can’t come near your dwelling place, and he can’t take your joy.  He can’t take what I’ve given to you. And this joy that you have; he didn’t give it to you, and he surely can’t take it away.

Continue to walk faithfully before Me and allow Me to be a part of everything you do; and then watch Me keep the atmosphere around you charged with My anointing and power.  Nothing, I tell you nothing, can defeat an atmosphere that is charged by My presence.  I ask you to draw nearer to Me this day in full assurance that I am in control. Selah. Be at peace; for what you’re going through didn’t catch Me by surprise; I already have it worked out.  Now, all you have to do is believe it and rejoice.

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD

Psalm 139:16 You saw me before I was born.   Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Joh 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

1Jn 5:14-15  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 

BELIEVE ME AND STOP LIMITING YOURSELF

FROM  SOON TO BE RELEASED DEVOTIONAL

"WHEN MY HEART IS OVERWHELMED"

 

Child, I am not limiting you; you are limiting yourself. It’s My desire for you to great things; however, you’ve put limitations upon yourself by not believing in My word. If you ask Me, I will remove those limitations. I will put a desire within you that will cause you to hunger and thirst for more of Me and increase your faith. This increase in faith will allow you to step out boldly and do mighty works in My name.

EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE

My child, whenever you’re feeling depressed and discouraged; whenever you’re feeling hopeless and filled with despair; do not give up and lie down in defeat. Lift your head up and recognize that you have been listening to the lies of the enemy. Do not let his lies be the bricks in which you build your house with. I ask you to loose yourself from anything that he’s been trying to give you and choose to use My word to build a house that will not be shaken.

BREAK YOUR SPIRITUAL SLUMP

"I had been in somewhat of a spiritual slump when I was asked to review Shh...God's Trying to Tell You Something: Speak Lord, I'm Listening, the new devotional journal by Christian author Shearon Hurst. Well, it was just what the Great Physician ordered to heal me from the blues and rekindle my passion to perform God's work and will. In a voice that is divinely inspired,

Shearon writes a daily love letter from God, cites spot-on Scriptures, and then leaves room for readers to write how they can become better obedient to His word and thereby receive the blessings that were designed just for them. Two thumbs up for this inspiring work––followed by both hands held high in praise of the Lord Jesus Christ."    

- Tom Siebert, Christian Editor Connection.

Shh! God Is Trying To Tell You Something

TROUBLE IN YOUR WAY? COUNT IT ALL JOY

There’s a story about how in ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he would hide and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Most people came by and simply walked around it. Others loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but no one did anything about getting the big stone out of the way.  Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road.

After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As he picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse laying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. This man learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

Are you ready for this?  What is it that you are going through today? What is it that is trying your patience, getting on your last nerve? What obstacle is blocking your way? There is a reason for everything that you are going through. Stop right now where you are, and give God the praise, give Him the glory and shout HALLELUJAH for allowing you to be the vessel He has chosen this day to be glorified through.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. (1Pe 4:12-13)

Oh, praise His Holy name for another opportunity for the Lord to be glorified in what you are going through. God wants you to count it all joy this day. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith (that obstacle) worketh patience. So, all the while they are working your last nerve, you are being perfected. Therefore, let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:2-4). That’s right, the more that obstacle blocks your way, the more you are being blessed. Don't try to avoid it, don't ignore it. That obstacle is your stepping stone to victory. Count it all joy, and praise your way right through it, right on to your blessing.

God says, always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (1 Thes. 5:16-18). For this trial of your faith is much more precious than of gold that perisheth. Tried with fire, you want to be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (1 Pet.1:7).

So, is that obstacle still there? You know what to do with it; that’s right count it all joy.

BE THANKFUL AND EMBRACE WHERE I HAVE YOU

I know it’s hard being where you are right now, and it seems as though you’ve been stuck here forever. Everything within you is screaming, “Enough already. I cannot do this anymore. When can I move on from here?” My child, can you honestly admit that you are ready to move on? Can you say that you have things in order, and that your heart is filled with thanksgiving? Do you want Me to answer that for you? 

You have yet to embrace where I have you; and until you can, you will not be able to move on to the next level. As I have told you before, everything that you go through as a purpose, and there is a purpose for this stronghold. You say to Me that you are grateful for what I have done in your life, yet your actions do not reflect the heart of one filled with gratitude.

NEW BOOK RELEASE - Shh...GOD IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

God still speaks to us.

Often it is a quiet whisper, a gentle nudge, a hunch we seem to have. As we look back at our journeys, we notice the places where the Lord has spoken to us, guiding us and encouraging us to press on.  Maybe we haven’t always listened to that “Still Small Voice,” but He has been there the whole time, speaking words of encouragement to our spirits.

Inspired by the Lord to write this devotional during prayer and meditation time, Minister Shearon D. Hurst believes these messages will speak life to the “weary warriors,” “the despondent pursuers,” and those who want to know Him in a more intimate way.

These words from the Father’s heart will encourage and comfort you as you battle through the days when you trudge through the valleys of life. Words of encouragement, either written or spoken from the Lord, will inspire you to live a life most pleasing to the Lord. Let this devotional journal will become a source of inspiration and encouragement in your life every day.

****PRAISES FOR SHH… GOD IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING****

I love a good devotional; it sets my day off right and gives me something to think about throughout the day. I also love to journal and I appreciate that Godʹs Trying To Tell You Something encourages journaling and gives you room to jot down some thoughts. Shearon has done a great job including monthly themes and a well‐written short devotional for each day of the year. Itʹs as if God is speaking directly to you, but then she encourages you to read scripture and journal what youʹve heard. So, itʹs guided meditation at its best—utilizing the word of God directly.  I highly recommend using Godʹs Trying To Tell You Something as your daily devotional‐‐I know youʹll grow closer to God

I HEAR YOUR PRAYERS

I know right now you are feeling lonely and abandoned, and believe that I’ve forgotten you. You’re feeling this way because you’ve been waiting for Me to move upon your situation. Have I not said, “All things are working together for the good of those that love Me?” Everything that has happened in your life has been an opportunity for you to know Me intimately, and to remind you of who I am. I am a God of restoration. I have not forgotten you. I am always interceding for you. I have moved things out of your way that would have devastated you. I hear your prayers, have faith in Me.

In this season, I will pour out My grace, and My mercy upon you, and I will restore it all. I will restore to you that which you have lost, and the glory of your latter house, will be greater than the former. Begin to thank Me for the grace I’ve granted you. Begin to thank Me working things out for your good.

Take your mind off things in which you should be releasing to Me. Lift your voice to Me and pray with a heart filled with thanksgiving, knowing I will not leave you. As you come to Me for help, I will breathe new life into your wounded spirit. I will carry you in My arms and the brokenness you feel will fade away.  I will protect you; no harm shall come near you. I hear your prayers, trust in Me.
 

DO IT BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME

You say you love Me, so where is your faith in My word? Loving Me is believing in My word, and not doubting that I am able to do that which I have promised.  Love does not bind My hand with words of defeat and failure. Love believes that My promises are yes and amen.  Love won't allow  doubt to take control and block your blessings.  Love would choose to speak blessings, not curses over your life.

I love you, and I don’t want the disappointments of this world to get you down. Love Me and believe that you are blessed, and know that I will perform My word in your life. I will do these things not because of your efforts or righteousness, but simply because I love you. I want you to know that I am not limited in any way by your problems, your age, or any other circumstance of your life. Nothing can stop the blessings I have in store for you, except you.

I desire to honor you and show Myself faithful to all who wait for My help. Your very trials and tribulations will be turned into great testimonies of My goodness. Love Me, trust Me, and learn to have joy in your life, regardless of your circumstances.  I delight in blessing you, simply because I love you. Now, I want you to delight in Me, and trust Me, just because you love Me.  

Pro. 18:21  Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Psa. 37:4  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

John 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

2Co 1:20  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 

IT WAS FOR YOUR GOOD

Yes, I know; you are dealing with disappointment. You are trying to hide it because you don't want anyone to know how disappointed you really are. It is ok; you can say it, I see it in your heart. You are disappointed. However, you don't want to say you are disappointed with Me. My child, I understand, and I knew this day would come. In the midst of your pain, I hope you will believe all is in My hands, and it will be alright.

You so hoped things would not be this way, but it is. Right now, you cannot see how this is a good thing or even how it can work out for your good later. You want to do something about it, but you don’t know what to do. My child, there is nothing for you to do; except hold on to what you know is true. Hold on to My word, you know My word is true. When My word said, “All things work together for good to those who love Me,” I meant just that. I am working it for your good. I don't want you to be hurt. Please trust Me.

EXPECT TO BE BLESSED

FROM DEVOTIONAL BOOK "WHERE PEACEFUL WATERS FLOW"

I have promised that all your needs shall be met, and I will not turn a deaf ear to your cries. When you call Me, I will hear and answer. I want you to start expecting to receive an answer. Expect to hear My voice; expect to be blessed. Why do you pray and do not get ready to be blessed? You pray without expectation. You should know by now, My promises are true. I am Jehovah Jireh, Your Provider.

I need you to trust Me. Let Me lead and guide you. I long to whisper words of love and affection in your ear. I promised that I would not leave you comfortless. You must believe what you have asked for will come to pass. You must not doubt. Expect to be blessed. Trust in Me, do not be moved by what your circumstances dictate, and do not be moved by what you feel.

Be confident that I have risen in your midst to bring healing, to bring salvation, to bring victory and counsel to those in need. Even now, I am interceding for you, and My Father heareth My prayers. I expect you to pray to Me, and you must expect to receive your blessings when you pray.

Know that I have heard your prayers, and I am bringing all you ask to pass. I am bringing about a complete change in your life. Trust in Me and believe I am faithful to do those things I have promised to do. Expect Me to bring the natural in alignment with the spiritual. I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Moses; is there anything too hard for Me? Expect to be blessed
