Questions Answered In The Heart Of God

Today I want us to remember that God created the world in Six days. Out of nothing He spoke every thing into existence.

It is in fact the worlds birthday according to Jewish tradition today “Rosh Hashanah” 5767.

Everything that we see in creation is an expression of the heart of God. Because before it existed the only place it could be seen was in the heart of God.

Miracles for you and for the world are still hid in the heart of God. We need to get these out of His heart and see them activated in the lives of men!

There are things hidden in the heart of God, which we can only dream of, and then the scripture says that not even our dreams are full enough to reveal the things He has planed

EPHESIANS 3:20 Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.

2 CORINTHIANS 2:9-10 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”* 10 But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit, and his Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God’s deep secrets.

During the week I spoke with a client who had been very successful in business, He had made Millions in his field, and continues to make millions. In the course of our meeting he had reason to speak to a young business man in his late 20’s who had just experienced what he thought was an insurmountable hurdle in his business life. The older experienced man shared with him from his heart, He shared some of his huge failures, some of his exiting gains, and some of his future hopes. By the end of the conversation the young man had a new vision and new dreams for the future, why? Because he had drawn out the things in the older mans heart, and was now seeing new possibilities.

Our challenge as Sons and Daughters of God is to draw out the things that are in Gods heart, and to see them accomplished in our world!

As a Father, the thing that would please me most is seeing my Children trying to pull out of me, the experience of life. Because I have learnt that even the most humble of men have an amazing story to tell, and their life experience is worth listening to.

If this is the case with men, then how much more is it the case with God! He has so much hidden in his heart that he wants to share with us.

I heard a testimony recently but can’t remember who shared it, (so please forgive me if it was you)

In the vision this person saw Jesus with a new wineskin full of wine tied around his neck, the wine was flowing out of the wineskin and going all over the robes of Jesus, The person was very thirsty and was thinking, “Jesus has wine, why doesn’t he offer me some he must know that I thirst” In the finish he said, “Jesus can I please have a drink? And the Lord gladly offered him the wineskin, and he took deep swigs of sweet wine. When he had finished he said to Jesus “You knew I was thirsty, why didn’t you offer me a drink? Jesus replied, Ï was waiting for you to ask me!”

We need to ask lots of questions of our heavenly Father!

But Job learnt that we need to ask the right kind of questions, the type of questions that will draw out of God the things hidden in His heart.

Jobs questions related to himself and his situation, yet in the midst of his problems there was nothing offensive in his thinking or speaking, He just wasn’t seeing God! And from Chapter 38 of Job God challenges Job and shares with him what is really in His heart.

The wonders of His creation and how it all works, that’s what’s in Gods heart! Because if we see into the heart of the creator we will see his purpose and his love!

Its all in there to be drawn out!

Job replied to God.

Then Job replied to the LORD: JOB 42 2 “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. 3 You ask, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I. And I was talking about things I did not understand, things far too wonderful for me.4 “You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’ 5 “I had heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. 6 I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”
