Yesterday evening, while riding with one of my friends, we discovered that there was a power outage along the road between my house and hers. We heard that someone ran into the transmitter (how embarrassing lol), but once we got closer towards her house (she had no power), we saw that the true reason for the outage was because a power line had fallen out of place. We could not believe that one little power line out of the dozens along this road could cause a blackout so many blocks away. Then she said this:
"This is a sign from the Lord; you can think you have it all together, but if you're missing one thing, it can cause all your power to go out."
That hit my spirit like a pile of bricks.
How many times have we wondered why our prayers haven't been answered? How many times have you felt that no matter how much anointing oil you use, you're still sick? We often find ourselves mad at God when we feel like we're doing everything right, yet we're still faced with problems. But what are you NOT doing? You could be reading your Word every single day, but if you are still operating from a carnal mind, you won't benefit from what the Spirit has to offer. You could be THEE prayer warrior of all prayer warriors, always praying without ceasing. But what about that unforgiveness in your heart? Did you ever think that that could be the reason you aren't seeing the fruit of your prayers?
Before you start complaining to the Lord about what you have been doing, examine what you haven't been doing; maybe that's the source of your power outage.
God will not come where He is not invited.
In Him,
