Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Ps 46:10 NKJV

There is a place of answers where those who dare to ask God and seek Him are richly rewarded. The potential in you as the Spirit of God dwells in your spirit is so vast, so expansive, that we must strive to enter into it with each other for the glory of God. Jesus said, and it bears repeating over and over, that the Spirit would come to glorify Him. If that is true, then the operation of the gifts of the Spirit becomes a mainstay of our efforts to worship Him, for in their operation He is glorified. There is a place of answers where every problem in your life can be solved, if you are willing to pursue Him until the answer comes…

He has sent ( APOSTELLO: apostled ) Me to heal the brokenhearted… Luke 4:18 NKJV

I believe the number one cause of death, from young to old, in every culture, worldwide, is a broken heart. The nature of the body is to heal itself, once the cause of the malady is removed. The driving force of healing is the will to live which comes from the spirit of man. When the will of man to live has been broken, damaged or lost, then the malady is free to run its course without resistance. Jesus was apostled…He was sent to heal that most fundamental essence within man, his heart, by forgiving man’s sin, cleansing him from all unrighteousness, accepting him into the family of God, and restoring man’s princely position at the right hand of God. With a whole heart, anything can be overcome, and anything is possible.

Now, you have to get this truth, because a broken heart can keep you from entering the place of answers. I see this so often when I’m ministering healing. The Lord will come to minister to you personally through the Holy Spirit to heal your broken heart, if you will ask Him.

I deeply want my dear readers to get real answers in their personal lives. When we have faith for answers personally, then our faith will grow for answers to the major problems that face our communities, provinces and nations. I don’t want to be a ‘spectator Christian’… I want to change the world.

I’m putting together a group to seek the Lord for revelation regarding how to solve some of the world’s great problems. Regarding one of the questions – “How do we crush the international illegal drug trade?” – I believe God has already spoken to me. I’m going to present it to the group for their judgment and possible refinement. Call it the Wilburforce anointing if you will, but I want to change the world…

In understanding the place of answers, let’s look at some really basic scriptures, then consider their implications more deeply.

Every promise of God will be validated in every believer’s life, if not here on earth, then in Heaven. But Jesus said that we are to pray that the highest, the primary, will of God be done on earth, in our lives, as it is in Heaven. I want my life, right here, right now, to be a testimony to the faithfulness of our God to His promises. To achieve that end, I must abide in the place of answers.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus Phil 4:19 NKJV

What would that be like, having all your needs met continually? Some would even say, “That is not possible!” but READ the VERSE. I recently watched a video testimony from a man who was healed of a malady he had for over twenty years. The shocked delight on his face was amazing! He had to adjust to a whole new physical and mental paradigm, much like a longstanding prisoner being released from prison. The Lord wants to release you from your prisons. He delights to supply ALL of our needs.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13 NKJV

Consider that verse, and all your doubts, rationalizations and excuses will wither to nothing. “I” – personal pronoun, meaning ME. “Can” implies ability PLUS permission. “Do” – take action which accomplishes the result, regardless of ANY circumstance. “All things” certainly implies all the will of God (what born again one would want to do anything other than that?). “through Christ” implies the gifts of the Spirit, which dwell in Christ in you, the hope of glory. “Who strengthens me” – regardless of any circumstance, the ‘universe shaking’ power of God stands ready, willing and able to empower you at any moment.

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 2 Cor 2:14 NKJV

Is that just in heaven, or is that on earth as well? Does God have victory parades for you and I, right here and now? If so, then don’t you want to march in them? Praise is the keynote song of victory. Psalms says that our mouths are to be filled with His praise and glory all day long, daily. That tells me that it is possible to have real answers daily that cause me to praise Him more and more!

“Ask! What shall I give you?” 2 Chron 1:7 NKJV

Now, if you believe that there is a place of answers, then how do you get there? Ask!

But you may say, “I can’t ask for myself. That wouldn’t be humble. I can only ask for others! (Don’t laugh! I’ve known a lot of folks over the years who have great faith for others but very little faith for themselves)” The Bible says we love others AS WE LOVE OURSELVES. If you don’t love yourself, you mock God, who says, “I love (value, esteem, enjoy and think you’re funny!) YOU!!” and, you may be nursing a religious spirit. Ask! Ask! Ask!

Now, let’s take it a step, maybe two steps further…

In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice. Gen 22:18 NKJV

Ask, listen, obey. Listening was always the hardest thing for me. When I was released in the mid-nineties, I would go for hours to pray on the mountainside. Being one of those type A personalities, I would charge up the hill, pray furiously, then go off to do something else. One night, as I was charging down the hill, the Holy Spirit said, “Stop! You don’t ever listen to Me!” Chagrined, I said, “Ok… I think I’ll just listen now.” Of course, after that, He didn’t say anything, but I got the lesson!

Listening and obeying are extensions of trust.

How do you know it’s God talking to you? The secret is relationship. Does your spouse/best buddy have to introduce themselves when you pick up the phone? Why? (Caller ID, you say? Funny!) You’ve spent so much time with them that you not only know their voice, you know their facial expressions as they speak. You are one in your relationship. Same thing with God! The Holy Spirit will teach you to hear His voice, if you will allow Him. Just ask!

Finally, we need answers, and we need to lead.

The Church has allowed unsaved morons to run the world for the last five hundred years, because when the Church did run the western world, we botched it so badly under the Roman Catholic system, that EVERYBODY, saved and unsaved, rebelled against it. Regardless of our past, the Lord has still given His body to have authority over the earth, and the responsibility to steward it according to His will. Using a sports analogy, we have to get out of the bleachers, and on to the field. The days of spectator Christianity are over with, bless God forever. It’s time for everyone to believe God, and turn the world upside down!

ONE MAN AWAKE

One man awake awakens another,

The second awakens his next-door neighbor,

Three awake can rouse the town,

and turn the whole place upside down.

Many awake can raise such a fuss

That it finally awakens the rest of us!

One man up with dawn in his eyes…multiplies!

‘Three awake’ is a house church.

Let’s change the world. Will you help me?

Remember dear ones, we must be about our Father’s business….
