The Lord is Gracious and Full of Tender Mercies-Nothing is Impossible with God!!!!

As many of you know I am travailing for a specific need for someone today, it is a dire need, it is a need that seems impossible, beyond impossible, it is a need that requires nothing short of divine deliverance.

As I was praying outside this morning (to the sceptics for what I am about to relate, sorry, but it happened) I opened my Bible and laid my hands out on it, and started to travail in prayer. I was begging God for His Great Mercy and deliverance for someone.

I reminded God of all the great deliverance's He did for His people parting the red sea, moving on the heart of Pharaoh, sending the plagues, retreating the plagues, showing His great Mercy to a people who were not deserving, to a people who continuously turned their backs on him......and I prayed and prayed crying out to Him for quite some time .... and then I took my glasses off my head, put them on, looked down to the pages that were opened, that I had been resting my hands on, and noticed with awe that the Bible was opened to Nehemiah chapter 9..... For those of you who are not familiar with that particular chapter let me share a little of it with you. It relates to all the great and mighty things that God did for His people, who continuously turned back to wickedness, yet he continued to show his great Mercy to them, time, and time and time again.

9. And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;

10. And showedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.

11. And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.

12. Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.

13. Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments.

15. And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.

16. But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,

17. And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

18. Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;

19. Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way wherein they should go.

20. Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

21. Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.

Then they multiplied and God gave them lands and they became increased with goods and had need of nothing, and they delighted themselves in God's goodness to them.

26. Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

27. Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

28. But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;

29. And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

30. Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.

31. Nevertheless for thy great mercies’ sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.

When I was finished with my travailing for the moment, I asked God for a word of conformation, of assurance, and I came inside intent on sharing what He had already given me, and I happened to check my e-mail and see David Wilkerson devotional, and read it..... and was in awe of God once again! His Great Mercy is endless! Please take time to read his devotion for today. You will find the link to his devotionals on the right hand side of this blog.

Please continue to hold me and all my family up in prayer...I will share what God does in this situation....I Praise Him for what He is going to do!!!
