“When interference seems to come along in one way or another, the secret is to allow space for God’s will to be done. This technique involves two concepts: quietness and patience.”

Psalm 142:3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have secretly set a snare for me.

In this quest to follow God’s will, one thing I’ve discovered is that other people often seem to “get in the way” of what I perceive as being God’s purposes in my life. It seems that often, just when I’m getting somewhere, someone else comes along and sets a snare for me, usurping my position.  Ever been there? 

Scripture makes it plain, all the ways of a man seem pure in his own eyes, but the Lord checks the heart. It tells us that a man plans his way but the Lord directs his path and if we commit our works to the Lord, he will establish our steps. When interference seems to come along in one way or another, the secret is to allow space for God’s will to be done. This technique involves two concepts: quietness and patience. Quietness and trust are your strengths. So, rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.

Life’s burdens can sometimes be overwhelming but the Lord knows your path. No one knows your situation better than he does. When you don’t know what to do, you can turn to the Lord in prayer. He knows the best solution and he will show you the way. Bill Wilson said, “It’s not important what you achieve in life it’s more important what you set in motion.” I pray that you will learn the secret of waiting quietly and patiently for God to direct your path according to his purposes.

God-tracking is patiently resting in his path.

“Help me to wait quietly and patiently for your will to be done.”

“Father God, it’s happened again. Just when things seemed to be working out for me, someone got in the way and confused my path. Yet, O Lord, I know that my ways are not directed by any man. You are the director of my life. So, I turn to you now, in prayer, as I ask for your vindication and direction. Resolve this conflict and help me to wait quietly and patiently for your will to be done. Amen.”

“As you face opposition or conflict be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways.”

Exodus 14:13-14
And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today… The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

After God had inflicted 10 vile plagues on the Egyptians, the Pharaoh of Egypt was finally persuaded to release the Hebrews from slavery. Euphoric, the Jews exited Egypt and began their trek across the Arabian wilderness. But the Pharaoh had a change of mind and sent his army to apprehend the fleeing Hebrews. They fled on foot until they reached the Red Sea. Confounded in their escape, the Jews were entrenched in fear. Fight or flight. If they fought against an armed force, they would surely all perish. If each man and his family dispersed into the desert, they would surely die of exposure. Which would it be?

“Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will accomplish for you today,” said Moses. A great miracle ensued. Moses lifted his staff over the deep waters of the Red Sea and they parted to the left and to the right. God’s people crossed on dry ground. When the enemy attempted to follow, the waters returned and they were obliterated.

God’s word to you today: Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. The Lord will fight for you. Your God, in you, is greater than your enemy. And your enemy comes in many guises. Even Satan can appear as an angel of light. Remember, your fight is not against flesh and blood but against evil forces in heavenly realms. And here’s the good news – Jesus conquered these forces when he triumphed over them at Calvary. So, as you face opposition or conflict be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways.

God-tracking is
being still while God fights your battles.

“I claim the victory in my battle by faith in the triumph of Christ.”

“Father God, I’ve run out of fight. I can’t face this battle anymore. But I realise now that the battle belongs to you. So, I choose to stand still before my adversary and watch the salvation of the Lord. Jesus, I believe and confess that you overcame the devil at Calvary and that my battle is not against people but against Satan. So, I claim victory in this battle by faith in the triumph of Christ. Amen.”

The Battle is the Lord’s

“Our God is high and exalted. He is our sovereign Majesty. His character is supreme, his power unlimited and his will, paramount. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow! The name of the Lord is a strong tower. Run into it be safe.”

Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

While Jehoshaphat was king of Judah the Moabites and Ammonites waged war against him. This was a vast army intent on annihilating God’s people. Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord and proclaimed a fast for all Judah. The people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord. God’s word came to Jehoshaphat through the priest and prophet Jahaziel: “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” After talking with the people, Jehoshaphat called for praise and worship. Together they sang, “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.” As they began to praise God, the Lord set ambushes against the enemy and it was defeated.

Your battle is the Lord’s! Listen, “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you,” and “If God is for us, who can be against us?” The enemies of peace and security will rise. It’s a fact. However, the force behind these forces of man is Satan. The Scriptures tell us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. But we know that Jesus, our champion and commander in chief, personally overcame these authorities at Calvary when he made a public spectacle of them by triumphing over them through the cross. Halleluiah!

So, today, whatever war you’re facing, whatever forces are battling in the world, let us look to Jesus, our victor. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret when people carry out their wicked schemes. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. Praise and worship God in the face of the onslaught. Our God is high and exalted. He is our sovereign Majesty. His character is supreme, his power unlimited and his will, paramount. At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow! The name of the Lord is a strong tower. Run into it be safe. The battle is not yours, but God’s

GOD-TRACKING IS OPERATING UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF GOD, THE ROCK OF SALVATION

“In Christ, you have been given authority to bind on earth any evil attack on your life, be it a financial crisis, poor health, conflict or Covid-19. It is not God’s will for you to suffer indiscriminate harm.”

2 Samuel 22:3
…my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my saviour; you save me from violence.

Jesus and his disciples had just arrived at the district of Cæsarea Philippi. Near the town was a rocky outcrop leading to a cliff that hosted the pagan temple of Pan. To the left of the temple buildings is a large shallow cave where a tumultuous spring bubbles up as one of the sources of the Jordan river. The flowing water creates violent eddies and whirlpools as it is sucked back into the earth to burst out below into the river. The worshipers of Pan would sacrifice their children to their god by throwing them into the turbulent waters in the cave. If they were fortunate to be sucked under and ejected alive below then they believed Pan was pleased with them. However, inevitably, the child would drown before he was emitted by the torrent below. This cave and whirlpools became known as the gates of hell.

Perhaps Jesus was watching as pagan priests performed their vile rituals on this rock when he turns to his friends. “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” he asks. His disciples chat among themselves for a second then replied, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

“But who do you say I am,” asks Jesus. Peter replies, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

“Blessed are you, Simon. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock,” he says pointing at Simon Peter, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Then Jesus adds, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

In the face of despicable human sacrifice at the temple of this false god, known as the gates of hell, Jesus affirms his deity as the Son of the living God. Peter, who represents all who follow Christ, is given power and authority over all and victory over the very the gates of hell. At the base of the rock of the temple Pan, Jesus affirms that his Church is a rock greater than the rock of Satan because it is built on God, the rock of salvation. And, represented by Peter, all his followers have divine authority to bind evil and release good.

In Christ, you have been given authority to bind on earth any evil attack on your life, be it a financial crisis, poor health, conflict or Covid-19. It is not God’s will for you to suffer indiscriminate harm. Jesus taught us to pray, “Deliver us from evil.” So, stand boldly against the attack of Satan and bind all evil that comes against you, in the name of Jesus. And in Christ, you have been given authority to release good and blessing on earth. So, by the Word of God, speak out release to whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, excellent and worthy of praise in your life.

And I release healing, wellness, provision and restoration. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray

“Dear Lord God, you are the rock of my salvation. Today I stand, secure on you my rock and claim the authority to bind and loose, as found in your Word. Therefore, I bind all evil at work in my life. Lord, deliver us from evil! I bind financial crisis; I bind illness and I bind conflict. In Jesus’ name, I bind all the attempts of Satan to derail me from your holy plans for my life. Likewise, in Jesus’ name, I release all that is good, upright, wholesome and pure. Lastly, I stand with all who pray with me now and bind the evil of the Covid-19 pandemic. I bind its pain and disease! I bind the death it causes! I bind its chaos on the economy! And I release healing, wellness, provision and restoration. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS MAKING IT TO THE TOP BY FAITH IN GOD’S PURPOSES

“Whatever hill you are climbing today; whatever conspiracy you may face, know this, it is not by your effort that you will make it to the top.”

Hebrews 12:2
…looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

We’ve all heard the charming little childhood story of a little blue engine who looked at his impossible task of pulling a train up a steep hill and said, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." Filled with determination, the little blue engine huffed and puffed and pulled up the hill until he made it to the top.

In an amusing little twist to the original story, another author wrote: "He was almost there, when --CRASH! SMASH! BASH! The little blue engine slid all the way down again and ended up in a heap at the foot of the hill. Which goes to show, if the track is tough and the hill is rough, only thinking you can, just ain't enough."

King David was an anointed God-fearing king in Israel. Being called a man after God’s own heart, he was one of the ancients who was filled with the Holy Spirit. David penned many positive and uplifting Psalms. However, David was also an honest realist who faced much opposition to his position, even from within his own family. Once his son Absalom rebelled and conspired to overthrow his father. In his response, David did not retaliate; he did not ignore the attack or depend on the power of positive thought to overcome this great obstacle. David did what he always did – he turned to the Lord and depended on God’s plans for deliverance. He wrote in a psalm, “O Lord, how many are my foes! But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.”

Whatever hill you are climbing today; whatever conspiracy you may face, know this, it is not by your effort that you will make it to the top. You will overcome only by faith in God’s plans for your deliverance, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Only faith in God’s purposes for your life, by his grace and might, will you pull your train to the top of the hill. So, set your eyes on Jesus, the author of your faith, and keep puffing away.

God-tracking is making it to the top by faith in God’s purposes

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

So, I take my eyes off this mountain in my life and I keep climbing with faith in your plans, by your power

“Dear Lord, I feel as though I have been climbing this hill for ages, with no progress. It seems everyone is against me and resistance is at every turn. Forgive me for taking my eyes off Jesus and depending on my own power of positive thinking. I choose now to look to Christ and follow his example. Jesus climbed mount Calvary, endured death with confidence in your plan, O God, to raise him from the dead and seat him on the throne of heaven. So, I take my eyes off this mountain in my life and I keep climbing with faith in your plans, by your power. Amen.”
