I found this note that The Holy Spirit had me write as we camped in July. Megan had taken Benton to football practice and the girls were riding around the campground, free of the cares of the World and the ‘be careful’ noise of parents, leaving me to sacred alone time (that Megan West Mullins cannot understand), reading, praying, listening…peace.
We had taken a 30” industrial fan with us to combat the hot 95+ degree July days, counting on this breeze to make things more bearable. As I sat there in my favorite place, the mountains of East TN, I enjoying the breeze from the fan, I marveled that the slightest breeze would overcome the wind of this powerful fan.
Then, Dad spoke to me.
“Myron, do you dare to limit me by comparing the wind generated by man made fans to the winds that I breathe from my lungs?
Remember in July ‘22 when, on a hot afternoon you blew wind from a fan to cool you and marveled that even with the size and force of that fan, it was no match for the breeze blowing the smoke from the fire, above the fan wind, to return to you through the fan.
Don’t allow the brevity and noise of this World to even begin to cause you to think that I, God, am humbled or beaten, with any loss of my unlimited and never reducing power. I am, that I am. I am as great today as I was the day that I created the Heavens and the Earth. I am eternal. I am eternity. I am the great, I am. My mercy and love knows no bounds. My forgiveness is limitless.
Never question my power and control because of the human fads that fade and the lies of the Evil One hidden in the veil of acceptance and choice.
The is only two choices: Me, or eternity apart from Me. Never-ending love and joy or the complete absence of all hope.”
I sat amazed at the power of this Voice, revealing to me the truth at how I limit God by asking and expecting small things so I don’t ‘bother’ Him with the enormous things, so important and needed by every human being. This caused me to face the mirror of who I am and ask, ‘do I truly believe in the amazing and unlimited power of Jesus’ blood and resurrection? Of God’s omnipotence. That nothing, absolutely nothing is too large or significant for Him…nor anything too insignificant. Do I really believe that God wants to be in a whole life relationship with me?’ I do!
Although I limit and I fail, God knows the truth of my heart and my all-encompassing desire to grow closer to Him and take another step towards righteousness in and only through Him. He is my Dad and He calls me “son.” There is no greater assurance and validation. He wants no less than a complete life-relationship with you.
“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8 (NLT)
