We are all Peter. None of us is capable of following Jesus faithfully, even those of us who REALLY want to… not even those of us who have committed our lives to Him and meant it! We mess up every day. We desperately need our Savior. Praise God for His gift of salvation and never-ending forgiveness!

Today I have been completely healed from depression for over two decades. Today I live a wonderful life of deep gratitude for God’s miraculous healing. He gave me another chance and I don’t want to waste one minute. Today I joyfully say with David: “Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, and praise the mention of His holiness. For His anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime; weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning!” Psalm 30:4-5

God knows how stubborn and dimwitted we are. He knows that telling us something isn’t usually going to work. He has to SHOW us! That’s why He lad down this crazy, over the top law on the Israelites. That’s why He burned up Nadab and Abihu. He was going after shock and awe. He wanted to make sure they understood WHO He was and WHO they were. He first wanted to make sure they understood that obedience was required. And then He slapped a law onto their heads that could never be completely obeyed. He wanted to SHOW them how desperately they needed a Savior.

My challenge to anyone reading this is to just try fifteen minutes of meditative prayer every day this year. If fifteen is too hard, try ten. Five is better than none. Meditative prayer has made all the difference in my own life. Connecting with God this way has healed me emotionally and spiritually. It has tapped me into a joy that I didn’t even know was possible. I have watched close friends heal from trauma and abuse after they began practicing meditative prayer. In my case, I have been completely healed from depression for over 23 years now. It works.

The most important thing was that Moses obeyed, just as the LORD had commanded. He didn’t argue or say, but why, God? This doesn’t make any sense! He obeyed. God’s ways are higher than ours. There are so many things we don’t understand. But if we follow Him, we can have faith that He does indeed have a plan, a holy perfect plan, even when we have no clue…

Jesus asked Bartimaeus, the blind man, the exact same question He had asked James and John, “What do you want Me to do for you?” James and John had asked for positions of power. Bartimaeus asked only to see. Jesus had refused the disciples’ request. But he healed Bartimaeus and gave him sight.

In my case, I knew I was completely innocent. I did everything I could to resolve the problem but it was beyond my control. My situation was painful, but mostly petty understanding. Some people pay a much higher price. Jesus was executed because of false accusations. There are times when we must just fix our eyes on Jesus and know that justice WILL come eventually when our Savior returns.

This morning I received what I believe to be a prophetic word from God directed to the leaders of the Protestant Church in America. This is the first time I have ever received a prophetic word directed to someone besides myself. I pray that I have faithfully recorded this message from God.

Don’t worry about the glory! Instead seek Jesus. Be serious about your own walk with Him. When we focus on God and drawing nearer to Him, we have no time for bickering amongst ourselves or craving personal glory. All the glory goes to God!
