The Holy Spirit gave me this scripture passage TO SHARE with others. (Note: It's my own words that are in brackets. The Holy Spirit will give you additional insight as you ask Him. I only share a few thoughts to get you started meditating.)
My prayer is that you'll receive, and believe, and act upon His Word...
becoming one of the recipients of "the promises" mentioned! They truly are amazing! You'll be brought into more "abundant life" in Christ.
This scripture shows the REVEALED WILL OF GOD to be:
-Desire for relationship with us,
-Goodness to come to us
-He as our "source",
-Righteousness coming forth in our life,
-Promise of answered prayer,
-Creative declarations,
-Clarity upon our path's way
-Friends and loved ones delivered
and so much more....
Let's take a look....
Job 22:21-30 (New King James Version)
"Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; Thereby good will come TO you."
(Isn't this a desire we ALL have? That good will come TO us? Then let's do what this says and acquaint ourselves with the Lord! He is already acquainted with us. Intimacy will come, therefore, as we take focus off ourselves and unto Him. He is our Peace. He has the creative power to change our life with this "good" promised to come our way!)
Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart. (Our part is to listen, receive, and believe what HIS WORD is telling us...not intellectually grasping it, or giving it mental assent, but rather, "receiving it into our inner man deep down by faith"...allowing His Words and Spirit to transform us.)
IF you return to the Almighty, you WILL BE built up; You WILL remove iniquity far from your tents. (Christ within you will bring you into intimate relationship with the Father, and you will choose "to remove" from your life that which hinders intimacy. HE WILL BUILD YOU...Yet you may have to remove debris too during the process. Isaiah 54 also speaks of the promise to BUILD US.)
Then you will lay your gold IN THE DUST, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. (Money will lose its importance as 'your source'. Even career, power, and spiritual authority will lose hold, if it has centered you around money. Fears will subside. Affections will change. What you considered "valuable" will change.)
Yes, the Almighty will BE your gold
And your precious silver; (He will be "your source" as faith is exercised, as you come to know him AS the Almighty. He is not only "your provider" but controls the finance of the nations. Remembering this will eliminate fears in the future.)
For then you will have your DELIGHT in the Almighty, And lift up your face TO God. (your "affections" will transform...turning away from the World and unto GOD. He will be your focus...and you will get "His perspective" on things. You'll delight in Him! You will begin to believe not only "for yourself" but "for others" as He is your Delight.)
You will make your prayer to Him, He WILL HEAR you, And you will pay your vows. (You'll LOVE praying! So totally aware that He IS hearing you! For relationship has returned! You will keep your commitments made TO Him, "through" Him.)
You will also DECLARE a thing, And it will be established for you; (Creative declarations, based upon the Word will become powerFULL. Results WILL BE! As you take the Word and you declare it "as truth" you must "believe" it to receive it, being confident in the integrity of God to fulfill His Word for His own name's sake.)
So light will shine on your ways. (Clarity and light will come upon your life's path as relationship is developed. Not vague shadows of understanding, but hearing God's voice clearly.)
When they cast YOU down, and you say, "Exaltation will come!" Then He will save the humble person. (persecutions may be...handle them humbly without retort or evil to others....Yet declare aloud in the secret place by faith "the faithfulness of your God to exalt you"! After all He said "you will be BUILT UP" in the previous verses and that your "declaring" will produce results!)
He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands." (Intercessory prayer will carry great power...even if that person is guilty and you know it; as you are pure yourself in approaching the Father He will hear you and deliver them FOR YOU.)
Please print this page out, or mark the passage in your bible...
Familiarize yourself with its truth, and use this website to "acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace" (which can be part of your starting point in this process of transition).
Will you receive this scripture by Faith and let the Holy Spirit now walk you into its fulfillment? This is my prayer for each of you! And it is certainly the personal prayer of mine and my household too.
