http://bishopcdmiller.com/Things not moving fast enough...feel like something is in the way? Everything seems perfect for the next move in your life, but nothing is happening?! You aren't hearing from the Lord? I remember years ago my husband and I sought to purchase a new home! Of course, we needed to sell our home in order to purchase a new home. We began to prepare and to make ready our home to sell.
Our realtor began to share tips on how to sell our home fast! More importantly, we found the new home we desired next! I needed to sell my home quickly! Ah! But...The Lord said NO, NOT YET! We did everything we could to sell our home! We couldn't even give it away! After, a VERY LONG season of not being able to sell the house, I considered the Lord's Will must be in another direction! WE WERE NOT ONLY STOPPED BUT BLOCKED! The Lord had another PLAN!
After the longest waiting season EVER, Elder Miller came home with a surprise! Honey, I got a promotion, "Want to move to New York City?" The Lord had a blessing in store and HIS ANGEL was blocking our noble plan! Plans can be noble but not in HIS WILL, PURPOSE or DESIGN for AN ASSIGNED BLESSING! Everything fell in place; we were THEN released into our next season of blessings!
Remember the story of Balaam? Balaam's donkey saw the Angel of the Lord BLOCKING Balaam's agenda; the donkey plopped down under Balaam. HINDERED and FRUSTRATED Balaam, began to kick his donkey to cooperate! The donkey, seeing the Angel refused to move! The donkey in the way was designed to keep Balaam in the WILL AND WAY of the LORD! The Angel of the Lord WAS THE ROAD BLOCK!
Sound of the Spirit:
Hang in there champ~there's a donkey in your way! Your road block is designed to keep you in the path of the Lord's blessing assigned for you! The Angel of the Lord wants to make sure you arrive at the point of your next blessing!
Numbers 22: 21-31~"And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff....Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face."
