God is turning my Hopeless situations around



Hezekiah’s Illness: 
Old Testament

Isaiah 38: 1 – 5

“In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death.  The prophet Isaiah Son of Amoz went to him and said, ‘this is what the LORD says:  “Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”  Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, “Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.”  And Hezekiah wept bitterly. The word of the LORD came to Isaiah: “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says:  I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.”


Are you facing a hopeless situation?  Well to be honest I feel that I am facing a hopeless situation; the place I live in does not have work for white woman.  I am not playing the race card here but the fact of the matter is that there aren’t many opportunities if you are a white woman in the community.  I have noticed also that should you find a position you have to eat humble pie and take whatever they are offering because they know there are more than a half of dozen women wanting to work.

Looking at this scripture I have come to realise that God is still merciful even though HE had decided that Hezekiah’s end was in sight.  God saw what Hezekiah did.  Hezekiah didn’t ask the Prophet Isaiah to please stand in the gap for him and make atonement for him.  No, Hezekiah turned his back on the prophet and he prayed.  Looking to the wall where he focused his attention solely on the Lord God.
What happened when Hezekiah prayed and wept bitterly?  God saw his prayer and tears.  God said to the prophet go and tell Hezekiah ‘I have heard your prayer and seen your tears, I will add fifteen years to your life.’  My goodness, God changed His mind around Hezekiah.  He gave Hezekiah another fifteen years to live.

With this in mind I know that God has heard my prayers and seen my tears.  I know that He will open opportunities for me and His supernatural favour rest on me this year.  I believe that nothing is impossible with my God.  I don’t have to worry how, where or what.  God is in control and He will open the right doors for me.  

Father God, humbly I pray about my own hopeless situation, I ask Lord that You will open the right doors for me, Lord giving me the supernatural favour I need to face each day, blessing me with Your grace and mercy and I ask Lord for the necessary wisdom and insight.  I am preparing to go onto a course and I need to learn the material beforehand.  I pray Lord for the wisdom and understanding and I ask You Lord to give me the ability I need to pass this.
Thank you Father God, in the Holy Name of Your Son Jesus Christ.  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
