For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn't return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do. Isaiah 55:10–11 WEB.
There are things the Lord told me over twenty years ago that I am just beginning to live. For when the Lord speaks to you, it often comes in seed form and has to be grown. A small seed of hope that you can't see because it's still beneath the surface. He will spend years preparing you for things you don't even know are coming. So when they appear, you will be ready.
A Rhema word (spoken word; an utterance) from God causes dreams to grow. In Luke 4:4 and Matthew 4:4, Jesus said that, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every (Rhema) word that proceeds from the mouth of God." In Romans 10:17, Paul wrote: "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the (Rhema) word of God." The universe itself was spoken into existence. God said, "Let there be light," and there was light (Genesis 1:3).
A Rhema word from God changes everything. What you currently see isn't what it has to be. A bad life can become a good one. There is hope for the hopeless. God restores the fallen. He heals the sick. He delivers the captives. He welcomes the prodigals. He seeks out the lost, and a timely word spoken by Him changes everything.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, please speak to me in a way that I understand and let me hear Your voice clearly. I want to be involved in what You are doing today. Please don't pass me by! In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Amen and Amen!!! Praise the Lord for the word of God and "Isaiah 55: 10-11", for reminding me today that Your word will not return void, and, thank you so much, Pastor for this encouraging message!! For our God wills that none should perish, but that all have everlasting life through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! I approached my siblings in many different ways, in written form, verbally, bibles in the German language, and on the phone when ever possible in my inadequate and simple way, but I know that the Lord looks at the heart and only He can change hearts and desires according to His holy will! So I'll keep on trusting, believing, waiting, and praying that they would hear Your voice oh Lord or Your gentle whisper! Please make a way for them to see You for who You are! Have Thine own way, Lord, in their lives and in the lives of all of my loved ones, thank You for all that You have done and all that You will do, AMEN!!!

There is such a falling away from true and key doctrines of the word of God, the Holy Bible, all over the entire world not just here, but everywhere, including Germany, all the more a reason to pray without ceasing! Praise the Lord for Pastor Dion and his unwavering presentation of the word!🙏
