The Holy Spirit pointed out to me this morning in our communion time that regardless of the gift of God we possess and the calling we have in God. The most important weapon we possess is our ability to cry out to Him. This is the most priceless possession we have. Luke.10:20.
The Holy Spirit went on to expatiate and pointed out to me the biblical reality that though David was gifted with ability, it was his ability to cry out to God that saved him so many times and that was the reason God called him a man after My heart. He always faithfully inquired of the Lord.
Once the Holy Spirit begins opening a revelation it becomes clearly evident that many others have followed in that pattern. So He also mentioned Samson in Judges.15:15-20 who had a gift of strength and might but when the gift failed him after slaying a thousand men with the jaw-bone of an ass he almost died of exhaustion.
However it was his ability to cry out to God at that moment that saved his life as God heard and answered him by creating a crater of water before him to drink that rejuvenated him back to life.
What an astounding miracle the Lord performed to save his life. I am sure you will desire God to meet you like that in your situation of need.
Well as the Holy Spirit pointed out to me, being able to cry out to God in the most desperate times and dangers in life. “Especially when God responds with a miracle to save you is the greatest place to be in life because God is capable of everything but your gift only covers a certain limited area God assigned it for.”
The Holy Spirit further reminded me that even Daniel’s gift mentioned in Daniel.2:10-30 of understanding dreams, visions and enigmas was not enough to help Nebuchardnezzar’s request to tell him what he had dreamt and then interpret it.
To interpret the dream was easy for Daniel as he had the gift from God to do so once he heard the dream, but no one possesses the gift to know what someone else dreamt and then reveal it.
However Daniel had the close daily relationship with the Lord which he developed over time that enabled him to cry out to God in his time of need. Of Course God granted him the answer by revealing the King’s dream to him. This explains why the King fell flat on his face in adoration before Daniel knowing that only God could do that as his men had told him before when he made that request.
Well the Holy Spirit wants us to make sure we are able to cry out to God and get an answer in the now for any present situation. This is why we need to be in daily living contact with the Lord for that to happen.
We need to work on strengthening our daily walk with Him and not rely on our gifting because the ability to cry out to God is our trump card. Then to get a now answer was what made the impossible possible for God’s servants as recorded in the bible.
I could go on and share more with others the Holy Spirit pointed out like Jehoshapath who cried out to God when he was facing death and God answered and delivered him. 2 Chronicles.18:31 & 32.
Hezekiah also cried out to God when Isaiah gave him a prophecy of his pending death and God stepped in and reversed it as he cried out to God by himself.Isaiah.38:2-8.
So today presents you another opportunity to make up your mind to work fervently on making your daily relationship with the Holy Spirit a priority. This practice will ensure you will be heard and answered when you cry out to the Lord as that is your primary purpose. You will then walk in the grace supplied to you through these words and always be in position to follow Him faithfully.
Remember Jesus’ command to His followers in John.10:27-30 My sheep know My Voice and the voice of a stranger they do not follow. Have a refreshing time with the Holy Spirit as you rekindle your communion time with Him today and find back your place of certainty with Him so that as you cry out to Him He will show up and answer you in a miraculous way in Jesus Name. Amen.
