GOD IS PRETTY TALKATIVE!!!

Are You learning His voice? For my appointment with Him this morning, I asked where I should go to hear from Him. I go to an electronic copy of the book Jesus Calling, and I was drawn to Proverbs 3:5, feeling in my spirit like God was saying to me that I should pay attention to it:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

Then, I love starting my day reading from our family’s website, werollwithgod.com. I randomly picked a page, and the post there again was based on Proverbs 3:5:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

Next, just for a quick appointment with God reading a hard copy of the same book, Jesus Calling, out of over 700 pages, I randomly opened to one that referred to Proverbs 3:5 as an additional verse to read, with a message from God saying:

“TRUST Me in the depths of your being, where I live in union with you.”

And if that’s not enough, I go to Instagram to share my video for today, entitled, ‘Trust God with All Your Heart,’ feeling strongly that’s what He wanted me to discuss today. And the first 30-second clip that came up in my feed was of these two beautiful young ladies saying:

“Proverbs 3:5: Always trust in the Lord completely. Do not think your own wisdom is enough.”

They’re all what I call my God winks! For me to go to that first electronic copy of Jesus Calling, to next go to our family’s website, then to go to the other 700-page hard copy version of the same book and open directly to that verse, and to going to Instagram and of all the hundreds of thousands of clips there, for that very one to play first, was all God’s sweet way of revealing His invisible Presence with me. There was no way that all of this lined up on its own so perfectly! It was God working behind the scenes of my life orchestrating these winks to let me know of His intimate love and involvement in every detail of my life. It’s my prayer and hope that through sharing my God stories, you too will begin having the eyes that see Him and the ears that hear Him and know that you are not going through life alone; God got you!

I recently started having appointments with God with my husband before he leaves out to work, and this morning I asked him what’s been his major trusting God moment. I reminded Him of a time when God totally came through for us. In this life you will have trouble! And God showed up and showed off like, “Who’s messing with my people.” The direction came as to what steps to take. The people showed up to help us. And most importantly, God did some work behind the scenes, leveling the mountain before we even got to it. His love. His favor. His protection. All showed up for us BIG TIME!!! That challenge made me a strong believer in the power of God and His intimate Presence in our lives to help us tackle any situation that could possibly come our way.

Since then, many problems have come and gone, but God stayed consistent in His commitment to helping us. Different favor. Different people. Different solutions. Different communications from Him as to what He would have us to do. I’m talking step by step direction to handle any type of situation! Let me tell ya, God is an expert in everything!!!

These verses from Proverbs 3:5-6 have been spot on in my relationship with God, and I want to make them your constant meditation as well no matter the trials you face:

“Trust the LORD with all your heart, and don’t depend on your own understanding. Remember the LORD in all you do, and he will give you success.”

Whenever my mind tells me to doubt God, I just remind myself of all the many times God has come through for us. I just commit to doing my best in the physical realm, leaving the rest for God to handle in the spiritual realm on our behalf.

Like no doubt whatsoever, we see and feel God’s hands at work behind the scenes of our lives. Even the times when we make big mistakes or we go in the wrong direction, He shows up with such loving guard rails to get us back on track. The times I feel so frustrated with myself, I go and have appointments with Him. He would figure out some way to let me know He loves me, with Him saying something like, ‘If you feel you’ve done wrong, just wash it away, not at my feet, but on my heart. And just do better next time.” Such LOVE ALWAYS!

I don’t want to be this happy and at peace by myself! I want you confidently trusting God with all your heart. This life is filled with troubles and hardships, but we can keep our eyes fixed on God, knowing anything is possible with Him. He can instantly turn any situation around. It’s just up to consistently look to God for guidance in the 1,000 decisions we make every day. In my appointment with Him today, another verse showed up that I want us running with:

“So we make it our goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.” – 2 Corinthians 5:9

Like I always say, everything is between God and us, not between us and anyone else. By making it our goal to please God, He beautifully guides us on the path that He has for us. That even when we mess up, He lovingly pulls us back on course. That’s the love I’ve gotten to know from Him. Too good to be true!

But it does take some commitment on our end to seek Him. To learn His personality, His character, and the people He is calling us to be in the world. Also, to learn His voice so that you know precisely what God would have you to do when you have to make crucial decisions. In one of those big challenges I faced, I’ll never forget how God had us to leave Nigeria for Christmas one year to travel to the US. He then had someone out on a dinner date to tell us the type of professional we should hire to help us. The next day, I Googled the specific person they advised, and my husband and I ended up meeting a gentleman who sat with us for free for three hours to give us specific instructions on how to handle the situation we were fighting. It was incredible! And for free he did it! “TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART!!!”

I invite you to say this prayer with me, “God, I want a closer walk with you.” Then start seeking Him. Wake up a few minutes earlier and have appointments with Him reading or listening to anything spiritually uplifting. I love our family’s website, werollwithgod.com, but once you start learning His voice, He will start telling you specifically where He would have you to go to hear what He has to say to you. I’m forever getting messages from Him here in Whatsapp groups. Like I said, He is pretty talkative. It’s just for us to invite Him in and start learning His voice. I promise you, the best life, not perfect o, where you have peace and joy knowing God’s invisible Presence is always with you. He has your back!

Can you believe that after watching a YouTube video this morning of how God uses feathers as a sign of His Presence, I just felt something on my left ear as I type this, and I pulled out a feather? God’s love! A sign to us all that He is here with us!
