Pray and Prepare to Be Propelled

The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God [reflecting God’s Shekinah glory, the Light-being, the brilliant light of the divine], and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father’s] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal]. When He [Himself and no other] had [by offering Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin] accomplished purification from sins and established our freedom from guilt, He sat down [revealing His completed work] at the right hand of the Majesty on high [revealing His Divine authority]
Hebrews 1:3 (AMP) 

The entire universe was created and is sustained by the word of God (Genesis 1).  We are God's creation, with a specific purpose in the universe that God has created and that He sustains by His word, and through His word made flesh in Christ our Redeemer (Genesis 1:26-29 NKJV, Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV, Ephesians 1:3-6 NKJV, John 1:14 NKJV). The more Christ like we become, the more we are able to manifest the glory of God in our own lives, for the purpose that God created us. God is eager to fulfill His word in our lives and to have us to prosper and ascend to greater heights for his glory (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV, Psalm 75:6-7 KJV). We contribute to God's power of creation in our lives by immersing ourselves in and living by His word (Hebrews 4:12 AMP). As we prepare to receive a new decade in 2020, let us employ God's word to pray and prepare to be propelled in a greater way toward the purpose for our lives. My encouragement today is simply this:
Pray​
Praying God's word in our lives is a powerful practice. When we align our prayers and our hearts with the word of God we position ourselves to be upheld by God because He has promised that every word of His will prosper and no word of His will ever return void (Isaiah 55:11 NKJV). Submitting our prayers to God in accordance with His will and not our own allows us to present our prayers in a posture of trust and surrender, putting the desires of our hearts in His hands (Matthew 6:10 NKJV). Establishing our desires, our plans, and the petitions that we pray according to the word and will of God ensures that they will be upheld (Psalm 37:4-5 NKJV, Matthew 6:5-14 NKJV).
and...
Prepare
As we pray and spend quiet time before the Lord, we will hear from Him with directions for how to prepare for the moves that He is about to make in our lives (Isaiah 60:22 VOICE, Habakkuk 2:2-3 VOICE). Our blessedness is God's reward for our obedience to his commands (Deuteronomy 28:1-2). When God speaks to our hearts with guidance for what to do in our lives, we must make it the highest priority to obey every single command we receive. We may not understand what God is directing us to do at the time, but we must trust God and be obedient (Proverbs 3:5-7 AMP, 1 Corinthians 13:9). As he prepares us, He is keeping us in perfect peace and providing all that we need (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV, Matthew 10:27-31 NKJV.
to Be Propelled
When we have prayed God's word in His will, and we have obediently carried out God's instructions for how to prepare for Him to move in our lives, we are in the predestined position for God to propel us (move us forward) into the fulfillment of purpose for our lives (Exodus 14:15 AMP). This is indeed the highest promotion (Romans 8:28 NKJV, Psalm 75:6-7 KJV).

My heart is rejoicing and exceedingly glad for all those with eyes to see and ears to hear what God is about to do in your lives (Matthew 5:12, Matthew 11:15). 

Be Blessed!
