Divine Activation
For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh [my human nature, my worldliness—my sinful capacity]. For the willingness [to do good] is present in me, but the doing of good is not Romans 7:18-19, AMP.
This morning I woke up to my scriptures playing. I had put them on to play before I went to bed the night before. As I woke up, I heard myself praying those scriptures, and I laid there listening and praying the prayer that came over me. Then I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Get up and go to your prayer room”. On my way there, I heard the verse of a song come into my spirit. I didn’t realize at first that there was music playing in my ear, but I soon realized that God was giving me a song. When it became clearer, I said “Oh God, this is you singing to me”.
I immediately headed to my prayer room so I could look up the words. I could only hear a small verse and didn’t recognize the song completely. The words that I typed in came back to the song “Let Praises Rise”. I knew instantly that this moment was divinely activated. My praise, my worship, and my thanks went on for I don’t know how long. I was so grateful to God for speaking to me - that He woke me up, that He had given me a song that spoke every word of my heart. As I sat there, I began to think about God’s divine activation, how I had been divinely activated by our Holy God to move for Him.
Divine: of, from, or like God or a god.
Activation: the action or process of making something active or operative.
Everything that happened that morning was God activating something in me to move into a place of worship. I have learned over the years that we can’t take absolutely nothing for granted! God activates everything good in us. He prompts our spirit to open the door for someone else, to say hello to a stranger, to pay for someone’s bill. He prompts us to take time to pray in the morning, to study His Word, to show kindness when someone has hurt us. It is never you who is having these wonderful thoughts of being kind and loving - it is God divinely operating something in you to move! Listen, nothing good is from us! There are two influencing forces in this world: God and Satan. When we are prompted to be selfish, that is Satan. When we are prompted to do good, that is God.
We should be so aware of our movement and recognize God in all things. Even reading this message has been divinely orchestrated by God to give you a word of encouragement. There is not a day that goes by that you won’t see God moving through you for His purpose. We must be very carefully not to take our actions for granted and give glory to ourselves when it all belongs to God. Amen!
Father, thank you! How we praise your holy name! You and you alone are our God. There is nothing and no one else like you! Hallelujah! Thank you for using us for your glory, I pray our spiritual eyes will be open to see you divinely moving in us. I pray that we will not take anything for granted but rejoice and give all glory and honor to you. In Jesus’s name, amen.
