I've just been ministered to by Catherine Mullins....

she's this worship leader down at this place called lakeland in Georgia...

She has a wonderful worship leader....great voice...it's just amazing

She has this one song check it out....i've only found it on myspace

http://www.myspace.com/catherinemullinsworship

it's such a great powerful song it's called cry of the bride

"For you cannot help but respond when we cry"

those words stuck out most to me when she was singing...there a ton of other lyrics that are great... such as

Cover your heads I am coming
Cover your faces I am here

It's such a powerful song...I don't think I've ever been moved by God so much by a song...

but I had never thought about it like that God responds when we cry...because he can't help it...cause he loves us....

God confirmed it in my spirit...and with his word...I went upstairs and read my Bible...at lightning speed...

The Chapter I opened up to....Because i'd been reading through Isaiah...was Isaiah 38...

this chapter talks about Hezekiah's Illness...Isaiah tells Hezekiah to make everything right in his household...cause he's not gonna' recover from this illness

38:2-6
"Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, "Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with whole-hearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: "God and tell Hezekiah, 'This is what the Lord the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the King of Assyria I will defend this city."

there it was right in front of me. God heard his prayer and saw his tears...and responded.

He Loves us too much to not do anything when we're loyal to him.

then a few chapters down it talks about God answering the World's cry
With sending Jesus

Isaiah 40

Comfort, Comfort my people, says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for , that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins.

it goes on...but you have to read it to get the whole picture later....

I don't know it just never struck me...before...

I've been told God answers prayer....and I believed/believe it too...but perhaps....I really didn't believe...and I just sorta' agreed..that God did that...


and now God's breaking it down...

I've been thinking a lot about that...Jesus rebuked his disciples so much for not believing..even after he had done so many things....bet they would say if you asked them...of course he can raise the dead of course he can heal people, but in their hearts did they really believe...perhaps they knew...but they didn't believe...I don't know it's a complex...thing....

I truly wonder if I truly believe or I just sorta' follow along..and agree with the whole thing...
I read the Bible and sometimes it's hard to take it for real...I agree with everything in it, however as far as application...it's difficult...but God generally works it through...and this one is just great..amazing...Awesome :)
