Oh Lord Change My Story

'Rewrite My Story, Oh Lord'
Is this a right prayer to pray?
I think the cliche has its overdrawn roots in the changes that comes into our lives through prayer. Prayer changes things. Sin, unbelief, doubt, fear, disobedience and such like have a way of taking us away from divine pathways for our lives. There is the path of righteousness where God leads us and there is also the valley of the shadow of death where we walk into, there are times when we walk away from the waters that go softly and through our lusts like the prodigal son go into the violent waters....these are the things that we use to rewrite our own stories because God had created us free moral agents. Though we give our lives to Christ and call Him Lord we still have the power to yield our members instruments of unrighteousness unto sin...and the repercussions rewrite our stories.
But when we turn to God and repent, he takes us back and clean us up and restores us to our original position to enjoy the original write up in the volume of the book written concerning us.
The other side are the attacks of the enemy.  Satan has a plan for each life:that plan ends in hell. But to believers who won't yield it's ever a war. His plan is to build strongholds of negativity, through the operations of his principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. He would do everything to make sure that the will of God isn't done on earth, in a life, or a family, finance or health, his arrows are flying day and night, his physical evil agents and spiritual accomplices are evwr around and we need to come to the battle with the whole armour of God and not in denial...casting down every imagination, evil thoughts and other high things that exalts itself against the knowledge of the scriptures and that content of the book written concerning us and so waiting in readiness to avenge all disobedience when our own obedience is complete...
These demoniacal forces will seek to add sorrow upon sorrow for us against the will of God, stealing, killing and destroying...
If we leave our lives accepting that all that happens are from God and in His will without striving in prayers to establish the will of God...we give a freeway to the devil.
Prayer changes our lives to what the will of God is. If there are no alternatives to the will of God with the capacity to be established in oir lives there won't be any reason for prayer. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven...will be irrelevant. So if we notice or feel in our spirit that our experiences aren't in line with God's plan, then we need the story to be rewritten to it's original script in the place of prayer.
If you abide in me and my word abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will and it shal be given you.
Then God can make all things work together for your good and make foolish the wisdom of the princes of this world.

Be Inspired!

Be Inspired!
I was thinking about what exactly make us do what we do. Why am I writing this? Why do I write at all? Yet everyday decisions are made and actions followed. I ask also why I didn't do the things I didn't do. If I can get to the root of why I do some and left others undone and discover why my decisions tilt in the directions they've gone I may be able to manipulate the process to choose right all the time. And that brings out another question, why would I want to do what is right? How do I get to know what is right or wrong to be able to choose the right from the wrong?
I realise that we love to do what's convenient and pass through the path of least resistant. Yet that path may not always be the path of good. We love to move towards desirable goals and will force ourselves to do what we ought not to do so long there is a promise of reward afterwards.
Our selfishness drives us. In there are lust and fear that motivate to do what may even hurt others now and ourselves later even if such looks appropriate now.
Extraterrestrial influences too are there. Demonic influences and motivations, either by obsessions or possession to control from within in order to do what they have no opportunity of doing by themselves being disembodied.
There also are Divine influences with clear foresight and adequate information to know what ought to be done to arrive at a sure future. Influences through transcribed messages from beyond the physical, sent from the heart of God to instruct and to inform, of which disobedience to them comes with dire consequences.
There also is the realtime instructions of the person of the Holy Spirit which we receive to know what have been freely given to us of God and to reveal to us things to come and hidden wisdom of the present. Not just in our consciousness but majorly in our unconsciousness leading and ordering our thought and steps into divine pleasure and our own peace.
This is where the issue of having to force ourselves to do things comes in. If I am led of the Spirit and even by the Word of scriptures, certain things naturally won't appeal to me. Yet some of these things may look necessary and sometimes even demanded by the environment or society but not receiving motivation from within creates no motivation or enthusiasm to do them, these I can only force myself to do against the inner divine motivation. Same when one is under satanic influence to do good will take all the forces the possessed can muster.
I have always seen reason why waiting for the inspiration from within is necessary. Many a failure have resulted from not waiting and frustration becomes end result. Saul had said he forced himself to do what he did that took away his throne, can we count how many thrones have been lost because we did what we had to do as expected or to protect our status and maintain how we are seen or reputed or to even meet certain standards and obligations?
Meanwhile I haven't seen such flows in getting things done when motivated from within. When led it is through the path of righteousness towards the green pastures and the still waters. We can only force ourselves through the valley of the shadows of death.
So an idea comes to mind and I would love to do it but I am contrained and my reluctance rises like divine standard against an enemy's flood, though the idea looks good I must understand and employ caution. Not every good idea is God idea. Not every opportunity is for good, not every open door leads to a palace many are gates of brass that opens to the courtyards of life's prisons. And when the heart can't match the opportunity or demand with what laws that have been inscribed on its table, it pulls back and drains motivation and inspiration to act even when the potential to do remains available.
That reluctance must never be put down, many times it's a matter of life and death. To you it's time to go but somehow you can't tell why you are still hanging around...just hang around a little more until you have the motivation to go, it'll save life. Wait for inspiration and you won't have to write and then cancel what you wrote a dozen times. When it comes it flows like an open water tap.
But I'm demanded to submit before deadline, yes, the inspiration knows too and is working too with time. Though our time may be different from His time but His time is always best. Don't force yourself to work outside inspiration such albums don't sell. But when it flows it'll flow also in sales. The same inspiration had made sure. It takes care for the success of the project.
Don't speak preacher until the inspiration comes, architect keep scribbling till it comes, the song is coming wait for it Mr. songwriter, salesman, don't just move because it is expected of you to move round to sell...you need the impulse not of laziness but of effectiveness.
Let the push from within complete the work. Let your feet be ordered, let your heart move your hand, you owe no man nothing but success, the world would rather see you succeed than see you hardworking if it produces nothing. Be inspired first and the subsequent move will be for the kill. It is not for today but for the future. Inspiration births eternal things and what we force can only end up in abortion.
I won't let my lust or pride push me, neither would I open the door of my heart for satanic motivations but God's got me. So by His Word and Spirit I live in love, light and holiness. And daily I receive inspiration to do even some things hard to understand of men but wisdom, as Jesus said, is justified by his children. And daily I wait to key into divine program and plan by allowing him to wake me up causing my ear to hear like the learned to speak a word in season to the weary. If I move just because it is expected of me to, I may move into trouble bigger than that which I can bear, but when I wait for the nudge from within I am safe and works in His purpose even if I have to work and walk through fire.
Can you wait for inspiration? It'll surely come. Yes you are full of matter and contrained from within to burst, wait for the right place and time to disburse. Why speak to an audience not ready, didn't Jesus say He had so many things to tell which He couldn't say until the Spirit of inspiration from the Almighty comes? Let them be gathered first,afterwards I shall be called through inspiration to feed the multitude. Then my voice shall be heard at the ends of the earth and in its palaces.
