Why you shouldn't be worried or anxious about your future

God wants to tell you this: 

"Don't allow yourself to regret or think about what could have been or what should have been. Trust in Me for your future and trust in My timing for your life. I am still in control. All things will eventually work out for your good. I still remember My plans and destiny for you. These plans are always and will always be the best for you." 

Trust God that He knows what He is doing in your life. 

Imagine an artist drawing a masterpiece. At first, you do not know what he's drawing. You cannot figure out what he's drawing. You may be asking, "Does the artist know exactly what he's doing?" or "Does the artist have any idea what he is up to?" Of course, if he is a good artist, he already has an idea! 

It is the same with God. God is in the midst of drawing a masterpiece, a great artwork in you. Soon you will know the full picture. And it's going to be good! But you've got to believe. 

Maybe there's no open door yet for you. Maybe there's no breakthrough yet for you. Maybe nothing significant seems to be happening in your life right now. Or maybe some things you've wished for have yet to happen or are delayed. 

Be patient. God sees all that. He is still very much alive in your situation. Your breakthrough will come!

Psalm 27:14 (NKJV) says, 'Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord.' 

Two times it's written here: "Wait, wait."

This word 'wait' here in the original Hebrew is interesting. It's not like what you understand this word 'wait' in English. This word 'wait' is 'qavah' in Hebrew. In our context about waiting on God here, it can mean 'to gather (strength) from the Lord, to look patiently to the Lord, to collect (strength) from the Lord, to bind together with the Lord (like two ropes binding together)'. 

Do you know this word 'qavah' actually comes from the word 'qav' in Hebrew, meaning 'rope' or 'cord'? 

Imagine you are a rope or a cord, and you are binding together with another rope or cord, a much stronger one. That's a picture of God and you! God and you. You and God. Binding together! Nothing's going to be able to cut it off. That's what it means here by binding together two ropes. In your weaknesses, He is your strength. He is going through it together with you!

So, no matter how cruel this world may be, God is with you! He is 'binding together' with you! He is going through all this with you! 

This psalm was written at a time David was going through a difficult patch of time, and he was in great distress. He was being hunted by King Saul. He was on the run. King Saul wanted to kill David, even though David didn't commit any wrong. In fact, David won a victory for King Saul. But King Saul wanted no threat to his throne as king. King Saul wanted to finish him off!

Instead of losing hope on God, David learned to 'qavah' and trust in the Lord his God. He believed this time of danger and persecution would finally end. He just had to wait things out. Of course, little did he know that this was also part of God's training in his life to prepare him for something greater. 

Beloved of God, the same it is for you. The Lord is preparing you for something greater! So, as you 'qavah' or wait on the Lord, it's not like nothing is happening. The Lord is in the midst of strengthening you! The Lord is doing something inside of you! The Lord is strengthening you in many ways. 

Why? So that when your eventual success or breakthrough comes, you are ready, and you will not fall under the "weight" of that success. In other words, you're up to it. You're up to the new heights that God is bringing you to! 

So beloved of God, trust that God's timing is always the best for you. God knows the perfect moment to act in your life!

You're not too late yet!

The Lord is saying to you: "There's a fresh outlook for you right now. There's a fresh release of hope and strength upon you right now. Receive all this, and rise above the gloominess and the darkness of this world." 

In a vision I saw while praying, I see you like a car being painted with a new coat of paint. It's as good as new. It's like a brand new car. There's a fresh and shiny 'gloss' on this car now. It's so different from the same car that's dull and dated prior to that. There's a touch of freshness on the car. It's like the car has been revitalized, refreshed, and renewed. 

The Lord is saying to you that you are like that car. It was tired, dull, and dated. But the Lord is bringing the 'gloss' back to you! The Lord is putting a new touch on you. It's the same you, yet it's a new you. You'll begin to see many things in a new light. You'll begin to have a new outlook. This is what the Lord is saying to you right now. 

There's just this sense of hopelessness and negativity among a lot of people in the world nowadays. In fact, some even feel that life is so unfair to them. For some others, they have been so exhausted in this life struggle, life is nothing but hopeless. Now, if you sense the spiritual atmosphere around you, you would know there's this air of pessimism. The outlook of many people in all parts of the world seem gloomy about the world and the future. Not only among the young people nowadays, but across all ages. 

Beloved of God, no matter what you've been going through recently, you don't have to come under this negative atmosphere. Today, the Lord is releasing His anointing and His power for you to break free from all this! The Lord is leading you above this gloomy spiritual atmosphere right now. Let Him lead you. Let Him bring you on His wings, like that of an eagle's. This is the time to rise above and not go under! 

So, if suddenly for no apparent reason, you feel that you're getting stuck in your life, or you feel like your life isn't going anywhere; or recently things never go smoothly the way you've wished it to be; or recently a lot of time has been wasted on things that suddenly crop up out of nowhere; you are not alone! The Lord sees and understands all that. 

And the Lord is saying to you: "Put all your focus on Me. Put all your heart on Me. And watch My hand turn things around for you. But you've got to trust Me. You've got to believe. There's going to be a turnaround for you. Hang on strong and be patient. Do not give up just yet. For you'll begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel." 

Jeremiah 29:11 says, 'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.' 

Isaiah 41:10 says, 'Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' 

Joshua 1:9 says, 'Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.' 

Psalm 40:1-3 says, 'I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of the horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth - Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord.' 

As I was reading all these Bible verses, I heard the Lord saying: "There will be new things and new horizons for you. Just don't look back. It's not too late for you just yet. Be set free from whatever that has overwhelmed you and has cast a gloom upon you. Be set free! For I'm giving you the power to rise above and to start afresh!" 

Receive all this by faith, whatever your situation may be right now! 

The Lord is also saying to you: "I have never been late. I am never too late for you. You think that I am late. But I am never too late for you. For I see time not as man sees time. To Me, a thousand years is as a day, and a day is as a thousand years. So, look to Me and put your hope on Me. For I can turn things around for you in ways that you cannot imagine. For I am the Lord your God." 

I mean, if you look at Lazarus, he was four days dead. There was already a stench on his body. And the sisters, Mary and Martha, told Jesus, "If only You were here earlier, Lazarus our brother would not have died." But to Jesus, He was never late. Jesus' on time. And you know that miracle. Lazarus rose from the dead! 

So beloved of God, whatever your 'dead' situation may be, or whatever your hopeless situation may be, the Lord your God is saying to you right now He's never too late for you! He sees time not as you see time. He is above time. He rises above our chronological time. And He is on time for you! Of course, things may not happen exactly like it used to be. Some things don't happen two times. But don't limit yourself with your past, or what you used to be in your past. Because the Lord is giving you a new horizon. New things are coming your way!

You have the power inside of you!

The Lord says: 

"Flow in My river! The river of My Spirit! Do not resist this river that is flowing in your life. Let go of all your burdens, struggles and worries to Me, and let Me bring you wherever My river flows. For I am bringing you deeper. Deeper than you've ever experienced before! And I am causing you to see many new things that you've never seen before! You'll begin to even see with your spiritual eyes in new ways! You'll begin to see My power working in your life like you've never seen before! You'll begin to see My glory as I begin to show you more of My glory! Look to Me and drink from Me, beloved. For I am revitalizing you and I am reviving you!"

Today, as you flow with the river of the Holy Spirit, let the Holy Spirit impart life upon you! 

John 6:63 (NKJV) says, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." 

Not just everlasting life, but the Holy Spirit causes everything and every aspect of your life to become alive again! So, whatever that's dead or dormant in your life, let the Holy Spirit, the river of the Spirit refresh you, revive you, flow in you, and turn it alive again! 

The Holy Spirit has the nature and the characteristics like a river. As you flow with this river of the Holy Spirit, every good thing in your life shall flow too! 

Psalm 63:1-2 (NKJV) says, 'O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.' 

As you receive and drink of the Holy Spirit more and more in your life, and flow with the Holy Spirit more and more in your life, what shall you see? You shall see more of His power and His glory! Why? Because the Spirit of God is the Spirit of power and the Spirit of glory too! 

Just like the river current, there is power. Nothing can resist it along the way. And this river of God has no limit and no boundary. This river of God is wider than any physical river that you can find on earth. In fact, if you look at the physical world, river water can even be turned into electricity. Hydroelectric power. Electricity being generated by the use of the force of the moving water of the river. 

It is the same in the spiritual realm. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of power. That's why praying in the spirit is a powerful weapon that God has given you. Because you are entering the realm of God's power. This power will blow all the works of the enemy away! 

You see, a walk with God is a walk with the Spirit of God. It is a very personal walk. It is between you and Him. No one in between. A deep communion and fellowship with the Lord. Deeper than any other relationship on earth. Deep calls unto deep. Today, the Lord is bringing you deeper. You shall see many things that you've not been able to see before. You will understand many things that you couldn't understand before. And if you have the Holy Spirit working inside of you, you will have no fear of whatever the power of darkness throws at you. You will have the power of God to overcome!

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) says, 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.' 

The word 'power' here is 'dunamis' in Greek, and in our context, it can mean 'miraculous power, mighty work, abundance (that comes from God), the ability of God, the strength of God, the force of God, the miracle of God'. This 'dunamis' works in you and through you!

Philippians 2:13 (NKJV) says, 'For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.' 

This phrase 'works in you' is a present participle tense, and it can mean 'always working actively in you'. So, I can say, 'For it is God who always working actively in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.' Just like the river that never stops flowing in you and through you! 

So, let Him, beloved. Let Him flow and work in you always, actively, in you! You will know what to do in your life, in every season of your life! You will know how to go about your life, in every season of your life! You will never end up stuck or at a dead-end. Because the Holy Spirit will always have a way out for you. There will always be a solution for you. And that's what the Holy Spirit does in your life!
