What ever he tells you to do, do it

There comes a time when you are discouraged, broke or flat out sick. What are you going to do about it? It is common practice that we roundup our friends and relatives and say "Joe I really sick" and we wait in anticipation for their response; and they respond in kindness and say "Shame man Reu all things will be fine!"...Sure thing, they mean well; but come to think of it, does it really change the situation?

I really don't want to have a God who fills sorry for me ...nope I can do that myself, better still, I can ask you to do it. If I am ever going to have a God, I want a God who will speak right into my situation and provide change. A God who works out everything together for my good, literally... But how is he ever going to do it? Will God simply look down and say, "Shoo man, my boy is in trouble, let me help him.."? No, that is not the deal. Someone has to say something, and guess who?

Now Heb 3:1 says Jesus is the high priest of our confessions. He takes what you say and makes it real. That is why (Heb 11:1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Ok think of it this way, when you drink panado are you instantly healed? Nope, But can you put the panado on your table and hope to be healed, nope you drink it, can you stay at hope and mark off the calender and hope to be paid month end, nope you stand up and go to work... Now what makes you think you get sick, broke, troubled etc. and God will automatically come through for you?

If indeed he is the high priest of your confession, don't you think you need to say something for the transaction to be done? Don't just stand there say something like ... "By His stripes I am healed", do you feel look and feel healed? maybe not, but are you healed, yep;  You say "He supplies all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus"; Are you having that money now? Nope , but is he able to provide yep!

The Bible says David encouraged himself in the Lord his God (1Sam 30:6)  Well if you know something about David, he would praise, sing and dance, he would say something. Just like David encourage yourself. Stand and confess your desire and let the high priest of your confession do his part. Remember what Marry said to the people at the wedding (John 2:5) "Whatever he tell you to do, do it"
