I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears...

 

Isaiah 38:5 will be on my site twice, at least. Once, like this page and another time by itself for God to speak to people with specifically, just like He did me. I will over time, put some to much of the scripture God spoke to me trough online, for Him to speak to others through. Many times I found answers online, from God. So, I want to do my part to put scripture online to help others too.

 

I was upset, sad and crying as I rode my bicycle, about a year ago I guess. I have not had a car for over 4 years and I still do not and it’s not because of a lack of trying. Anyhow, here I was riding my bike down the street, crying. As I was doing this, I was praying for God’s help and I don’t remember for what, “Just help me God! This is too hard.” is probably the jest of it.

 

I came home and opened my Bible and immediately saw, from Isaiah 38:5 “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

 

Do you think anyone can ever convince me that God did not speak to me then? The answer is NO, NOT EVER! From Nehemiah 2:19:  19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us. "What is this you are doing?" they asked. "Are you rebelling against the king?" And I say to them, Nehemiah 2:20 (if you do not change your mind) referring to them about Obedient Evangelism because that was what this whole thing is about.  20 I answered them by saying, "The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it."

 

You either help or to your shame you will have no part in a great thing and you will look back on this moment in your life with disgust at yourself.

 

I did not at all plan on writing this when I started writing. God led me in this direction and From 1 Kings 22:14,  "As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I shall speak."

 

Now, there are those who are like “We his servants...” and to them I say, “Thank you, sincerely. The Lord also thanks you.”

 

God also told me this “...This very day I am declaring that I will restore double to you.” in the same way. (from Zechariah 9:12)

 

... So, God added 15 years to my life (Thank you Lord). I believe this also plays into who I will marry (she is quite a bit younger than me if I need to spell it out. And, I have these years also as a gift to her: not leaving her alone sooner than a man closer to her age would have left her) along with another verse (among others) God spoke to me which was, Joel 2:25    

 

       "Then I will make up to you for the years

         That the swarming locust has eaten,

         The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust,

         My great army which I sent among you.

 

I have met that army because of my sins, and it was not fun. But, the Lord has promised to restore double to me and to make up for the years I lost. How does a man feel young again? God puts him with a younger woman. I am sorry if that offends some people but the truth is the truth. Why do you think Satan does this? Because it is a gift from God that he is counterfeiting, that is why. When men do this on their own it can be a great curse (he can end up with a Jezebel) but when God does this it is a blessing and that is the exact blessing I expect.

 

Psalm 89:1  I will sing of the lovingkindness of the LORD forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth.

 

Lastly, I am not saying that you can’t feel young with your wife if she is not younger than you. Her spirit can make you feel young. I realize that and yes, Satan tries to counterfeit that too but he can’t. I realize this but what I wrote is also true. Maybe it’s true for some men more than others and it’s not saying any less about how God made them than how God may have made you who feel differently. I believe I will have both. A young wife and a wife who’s spirit makes me feel young too. God can certainly do both and I believe He will.

 

Also, some people just don’t need to feel young anymore. I do because I have missed out on a lot and God said he would let me regain these years and I believe Him like I believe Him so there is no use in trying to change my mind. I heard God clearly.

 

You should read this page.
