The Divine Appointment Phenomenon: 

Are YOU ready for work? 

"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." - Matthew 10:16

There are three aspects to the Divine Appointment Phenomenon and, by telephone, in-person, or over the internet, I have experienced these blessings every day for years.

1) Believe you have received. Notice the PAST tense used here. You've requested a Divine Appointment and it's yours. No question. You want to e a vessel used of God and He happens to be looking for yielded vessels. What a combination! Like a child at Christmas, a visit from Saint Nick is as good as done each and every year, even when Christmas is months away.

2) Pray with expectation. Anticipate those Divine Appointments. They will often manifest themselves in the most unusual ways. Even within the walls of your own home!

3) Be nothing but available. Being used by God is only difficult when you start believing advancing His Kingdom has anything to do with your personal talents or abilities. Do you really think God would send an ailing person your way and expect YOU to heal them UNLESS He is willing to do so THROUGH you? God guides and provides everything you need for the task at hand. Do you need the gift of counsel? Wisdom?  A word of Knowledge? All you need to be is available.

Everywhere we go, you and I will have the opportunity to stand before hurting and needy people. We call them bank presidents, cops, marketing directors, teachers, secretaries and coworkers. With that in mind, anticipate that 'nudge' from the Holy Spirit telling you He's ready to get busy. 

Are YOU?

Though you may never be flogged for your faith (as the persecuted Christians are every day a la Matthew 10:17-20), you may be brought before others to give account for what you believe. It may be at a water cooler, or it could be during lunch with a coworker. In whatever situation you find yourself, the Holy Spirit awaits the opportunity to speak through you to those who need to hear. Your availability gives God the opportunity to do miracles!

Every blessing,
