Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord concerning the frogs which He had brought against Pharaoh. Exodus 8:12

Even though Moses was tremendously used by the Most High, he still cried out to Him. This teaches us that the work must be done with fear and trembling. He acted in such a way in order to be attended, giving us the example of how we should proceed before any situation. Be careful not to touch the glory that belongs only to the Lord. If you are part of the divine plan, you will always be attended. Otherwise, you will not see God operating.

The Most High answers those who seek Him. Therefore, in any personal need or when helping others, seek the divine direction. Whatever the issue may be, cry out for the operation of the Almighty. He is the only One who no one can stop from operating (Is 43:13). If God is fighting for you, things are made easier, considering that you fulfill the conditions set out by the Word.

Even the Savior sought for the direction and operation of the Father. He cried out and wept before He who could deliver Him from death. This shows us how to act before our need and how to be attended. In case we prefer another method, we will certainly be unsuccessful. Whoever follows the Son of God will learn the best method, for it is the only one that really works.

We also have Elijah’s example, who had to pray seven times for a cloud to appear, after he had defeated the prophets of Baal and Asherah (1 Kg 18:43,44). When he saw the cloud in the horizon, he had to believe that the rain would come. Any person can be used tremendously by the Lord of Hosts in a certain moment, and then right after, lose some battles if he does not act by faith and under the divine direction. Follow the Biblical example!

Scriptures show David consulting the Lord to know what to do in the situations that he went through, and that was why he was always successful. Sometimes, the guidance from high comes in a blink of an eye, but in others, you need to go through a process of seeking the true will of the Father. There is no way we can leave the Lord aside, for there is no victory without Him.

The apostle Paul shows that he knew the secret of intercession to keep those he had brought to salvation firm in the faith. The apostle prayed constantly for them. Also, he went through a process of seeking God to obtain guidance in everything that he had to do. The truth is that when we pray, God listens. Always be ready to obey the Most High, and then, you will see that it is easy to defeat evil.

Mordecai went throughout the city with a great and bitter cry, in order for the sentence against his people to be revoked. Never let the lies of the devil hinder your faith. Face with firmness the sentences that have already been made and change the story of your life or anyone else. Whoever cries out will always be answered.

In Christ, with love,
