Prepare for the Phenomenal
Never Before Have You Been at This Point In Your Life!
Bishop Henry L. Porter
God knows how to arrange things. Long before your understanding arrived, He had hollowed out the caves in the mountains, and set the courses of rivers under the earth. Look at the world and all of its beauty. Does He need a suggestion? There’s more beauty than you’ve ever known or seen. There are a million mysteries hidden from the reaches of a scientific laboratory, microscopes and telescopes. God is not limited by your experiences, neither is He guided by your thoughts. His music is made as the wind rustles through the trees, by the birds perched in their nests, by human voices and fingers.
When God commanded Israel to remember the Sabbath to keep it holy, that was an extremely kind favor! God knew that humans needed a whole day EVERY week just to bring His blessings into focus. The vastness of His intricacies confounds the greatest thinkers in the world. His vision spans the universe, including the dark, unknown stretches of the depths of the seas. He is God. I joyfully serve Him.
God understands how complicated He made people and their emotions. Hence, He is willing to forgive their sins. So willing and so loving, He sacrificed His only begotten Son so that His VISION could be established. NEVER BEFORE have you been at this point in your life. With time to meditate and to consider His wonders, His mercy, and His grace, I will fill the world with His testimonies. “I’m so glad I met Jesus!”
When people are tied to the foundations of each other, if one slips, all fall. They are built on Word of Mouth.
Ten mortals can discourage 2 million people from God’s VISION — from going into the land. But, when the foundation is the Word of God, each encourages himself/herself and stays with the vision. David’s men spoke of stoning him. David encouraged himself and sought the Word of God. 1 Sam 30:6-8 David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. 8 And David inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. WORD OF GOD!
Take this moment for all it’s worth, even if you can’t use all at this moment. It’s like winning $50 million. You can’t spend it the moment you win it, but you take possession of it. At THIS MOMENT, where you are, CREATE TOMORROW. If not now, when? If not here, where? If not you, who? If not this, what? And, if no action, why? It is your day and it’s your time, prepare for the phenomenal.
See the Possibility. Expect more than you see. It's out there! You have more than you use. You are blessed beyond your comprehension. I heard a new song Friday, “The Blessing of God is for You!” Live like you have a future. Forgive like you have a past. Love like God loves you. Give like you want to receive. DO NOT FIGURE that things are going to STAY IN PLACE for you if you don’t weed and seed. If you play around and ignore it, you may develop fears that fight your faith.
Superimpose God’s vision over your face. See what God wants of you more than what you want from God. God made decisions before you were born, before you were saved or knew the work of the ministry. God chose whom He would. God knew the details of that person’s life. Trust God’s insight. The vision was already formulated in the mind of God. Treat it like you have a future. Prov 19:2, Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
I’m so serious! It’s like you’re standing ½ mile from the promised land — an opened eye, a VISION fulfilled!
Arise!
