Do Not Be Dismayed from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about becoming “Dismayed.” To be dismayed means “to be downcast, disappointed, disheartened, filled with terror.” It replaces hope and will lead you to a dark place. We become ineffective and...

God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God. Psalms 53:2 WEB
When the Lord began speaking to me with His gentle promptings, I became amazed at how well that He knew me. I was a computer technician, and He often spoke to me in technical terms and lingo that others would not even understand. An entire sermon would just download into my spirit at once.
He would show me things like how demons were a lot like spyware. Once you had one installed, it would start to download others (Matthew 12:45). It will tie your system up doing 'other' tasks instead of the things that it should be doing. Like spyware, it will hide itself deep down in the system and try to avoid detection or removal. Sometimes, it will leave the host or computer in a broken mess. Once it is removed, if proper precautions are not taken, it will come right back (Luke 11:24).
It is amazing how many people are in the world, yet God knows each one of us just like that and speaks to us in a way that we understand. Whether you know Him or not is irrelevant. He knows all about you and will prove this if given the chance. He knows your heart, your real motives, and He will not waste time entertaining those that are not serious.
God will pass over a million people to get to the one that is seriously seeking Him. We are all individuals and do not need to be like anyone else for God to adore us, just as we are. It is not about speaking a lot of words. Often in His presence, you don't have to say a thing.
Today, know that God looks on your heart (1 Sam 16:7). He knows where you are and why that you act the way you do at times. He understands you, because He created you. You are His child. Make room in your day to spend a little time with the Lord. Rest in His presence. One in a million will pay the price and actually seek His face, instead of His hand.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I choose to seek You today, please don't pass me by. Refresh me with Your spirit and give me a clear vision for my life. Lead me into divine encounters and let me be a witness of Your power on the earth, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
