Q & A - God's answers to my questions...There are no questions intelligent or foolish, big or small to ask God. The Bible says, knock and it shall be opened unto you, seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive. Knock on God's door and he will open and welcome you in...seek his wisdom and he will share it with you...ask him your questions, and he will answer you for your God is passionate about you!

Question: Once I travelled to a church to share a message that God had revealed while studying the Bible.On the way back home the thought that I had done it for personal gain, not monetary, but to hear kudos from the parishioners, started bothering me. Even though, my intent was purely for the glory of God, this thought started eating away at me all through the drive back home. I prayed...Lord, you are an omniscient God, one who knows the intents of a man's heart, hidden or otherwise, known or unknown to him. There is nothing Lord that is hidden from you, what man does in the cover of darkness is like in the broad daylight in your presence. Please God, search my heart and if there is any wrong intent in me, point it to me so that I may ask for forgiveness. After the prayer, my God answered me as following from the Bible scriptures...

Answer: Mathew 10:27 - What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ears, shout from the housetops for all to hear!

Question: I had been praying to God for him to use me for his Kingdom's work. I prayed that since he knew me, my strengths, my weaknesses, I asked that he would mold me in to a vessel that he deemed fit for His service. Following my meditation in the presence of God, the answer was...

Answer: Mathew 8:27 - But Jesus said, "Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nest, but I, the Son of Man, have no house of my own, not even a place to lay my head." And I asked myself this question... Am I prepared to follow this master? Lord, help me...

 Question: I stood up to say a testimony in my church once. My testimony was a testimony and exhortation as I shared my experience of what I had gone through and how God dealt with me and how he strengthened me through His Word. As I was going through my testimony/exhortation in front of the church, the pastor interrupted me and asked me to cut it short and sit down, and I did.

{I have always stood up to say these testimonies when I feel a strong conviction from the Holy Spirit. Usually, prior to the point of my saying a testimony/exhortation, the Holy Spirit has led me in a journey thru the Bible, in that I mean, I go thru certain scriptures or books in the Bible without any planning of my own, and as I read amazing thoughts open up that I retain and write them in the margins . Then when the time of testimony comes, I become very restless until I stand to deliver it; then a power takes over (I have come to conclude it is the Lord's Holy Spirit)}.

There was the feeling of hurt, more than insult when the pastor interrupted because this was my home. I tried not to let it faze me!

That evening in my room, I sat down to pray hurting by what had happened. I prayed to God and asked why it had happened. I asked Him why it would happen if I was following the direction of the Holy Spirit. After prayer...

Answer: ...the answer came from the book of Isaiah, chapter 53:3 & 7 - 3) He was despised and rejected - a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we did not care. 7) He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.

The thought filled my mind that if I was going to do Christ's work, THIS WAS MY MASTER'S LIFE! THIS WAS MY TEACHER'S LIFE!

God then pointed my attention to Mathew 10:24-25. 24) Jesus says, "A student is not greater than the teacher. A servant is not greater than the master. 25) The student shares the teacher's fate. The servant shares the master's fate. And since I, the master of the household, have been called the prince of demons, how much more will it happen to you, the members of the household!" I needed to get over my pride. Another lesson for his students and his servants...Hallelujah!

I've heard this preacher whom I admire preach quite often that if you do what God asks you to do, He will take full responsibility for the consequences.
