“Be Completely Satisfied! God Knows What You Want, Why You Want It and He Wants to Give it to You!”
Edie Bayer, Houston, TX

I watched a movie last night where hands were laid on the sick and they were healed. Limbs grew out where there were none before, and leprosy was cured—right in front of the watching crowd! The apostles raised people from the dead in this movie, and by the time it was over (after midnight) I was PUMPED-UP for the Kingdom! I said to God, “Lord! I want that! I want to heal the sick and raise the dead for the Kingdom! How do I do that? What do I do?”
I Want to Do That!
There is a tremendous cry rising up from His Body for the same around the globe. There are some who are now crying out, and some who have been for years: “God, I WANT that for the Kingdom! I WANT to heal the sick! I WANT to raise the dead! I WANT this for the Kingdom! I WANT to be used as part of the end-time harvest!”
As I contemplated this, the Lord dropped a Scripture on me: Matthew 5:6. I love the way the Amplified Classic says it: “Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied!”
You Will Be Completely Satisfied
Hang in there! Hold on just a little longer, and you too will be “completely satisfied”! He is working to accomplish that very thing for you—to be used in the end-time harvest! He is working for your good on your behalf (see Romans 8:28). He knows what you want, why you want it, and He wants to give it to you! Why? Because He is the one who has put the desire into your heart in the first place! “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart,” (Psalm 37:4 AMPC).
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.” (Psalm 91:14-15 AMPC)
Longing to Fulfill the Purposes of God
I love to ask people, “When you were living in the world did you long to fulfill the purposes of God?” Their answer is always the same: “No, not at all!” That is because the dreams and desires you now have are HIS desires and HIS purposes that He has placed inside of you, by His own Holy Spirit! Of course He will fill them!
“We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose,” (Romans 8:28 AMPC). Do you see that? ACCORDING TO HIS DESIGN AND PURPOSE! He is going to give you what you want – it’s by design!
It’s Your Father’s Good Pleasure to Give You the Kingdom
Jesus says in Luke 12:32, “Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom!”
Other than praying for salvation, what better prayer for Him to want to answer than asking for the Kingdom to come with healing the sick, raising the dead, restoring blind eyes and deaf ears—with other miraculous signs following? That is what He wants, because it is His will. When you pray according to God’s own will, then His will is done!
Look, family! He has asked for us to pray for the harvesters, the laborers: “And He said to them, The harvest indeed is abundant [there is much ripe grain], but the farmhands are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest,” (Luke 10:2 AMPC).
Jesus instructed us to pray for the laborers. I always thought I was supposed to pray for OTHERS to be sent into the fields! In actuality, the laborers are YOU – ME – US – all of us asking to be used of Him in the third, great and final awakening! You have prayed this prayer by divine inspiration asking to be a laborer, and He will gladly answer that prayer! He told us to do it, and He will answer that prayer according to His will!
“Just Follow Me”
After the movie, when I was all excited about being used to see greater works for the Kingdom, I asked the Lord how to be used by Him. He immediately answered me. His response was simple and unsurprising. In fact, it was something I already knew. He whispered, “Just Follow Me.”
He is leading us and guiding us into all truth by the power of His Holy Spirit (see John 16:13). When we follow Him, He will lead us down paths of righteousness for His name’s sake (see Psalm 23:3). In fact, according to Ephesians 2:10, we walk in paths He already prepared ahead of time!
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”
This good life includes walking in miracles. It includes walking in Kingdom power and authority. It includes being used of the Lord, not just in the end-time harvest, but at all times, in every situation, with everyone you meet.
God’s timing is perfect. He will use you at just the right moment, with just the right set of circumstances, with just the right people. Just follow Him. Be blessed on your path!
