DIVINE ADVANCEMENT DAY 6 "MOVING THE HEART OF GOD MOVES YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL"

SCRIPTURE 

"His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself--all these are written in the records of the seers." (2 Chronicles 33:19 NIV)

KEY STATEMENT

Anytime your prayer moves the heart and the hand of God, God logically and supernaturally moves you to the next level. Many a times, the reason why people are stuck and not moving at all in life is not because they are not praying. It is because they are not praying in the way that moves God.

Here are some useful biblical keys to move God

1st key : SELFLESSNESS MOVES GOD

Nothing moves the heart and the hand of God to answer prayers like selflessness and nothing hinders answers to prayers like selfishness.

IT IS WRITTEN in James 4:3
"When you pray for things, you don’t get them because you want them for the wrong reason--for your own pleasure."
1st case : Hannah

For ling time Hannah was praying and asking God to open her womb. The reason why God never answered her in the first place was because she was asking God to give her a child to fix her issue with her rival Penninah. 

But when she realized how selfishly she was praying, she shifted from asking God to give her a child to asking God to give her a child she will give back to God. Immediately, when God realized that she was no longer selfish, God was moved and moved her to her next level. She conceived Samuel.

2nd case : Solomon

When Solomon was enthroned as the king of Israel after his father's death, God appeared to him in a dream by night: and said, "Ask what I shall give thee." In response to this divine open cheque, Solomon asked God to empower him with wisdom that will enable him to well take care of his people.

His prayer moved God to the point that he told him, "You’ve asked for this and not for a long life, or riches for yourself, or the death of your enemies. Instead, you’ve asked for understanding so that you can do what is right." (1 Kings 3:11)

And because his prayer has moved the heart of God, God moved him to the next level of an unprecedent wisdom and wealth.

2md key : OBEDIENCE MOVES GOD

Anytime men in the Bible was moved to obey God's instructions, God also moved to bless and advance them. 

After a sleeplessness and a fruitless night, Jesus instructed Peter to cast the net on the sea for a draught. God moved to perform the miraculous draught only after Peter moved by obedience to Jesus' instruction.
Luke 5:5 "And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless AT THY WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET"
Luke 5:6 "And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake." 
3rd key : FAITH MOVES GOD

A move of God usually follows a move of faith. 

When the children of Israel began to pray in earnest for God to deliver them from Egypt - God moved.

When the centurion moved with faith to Christ, Christ moved to heal his servant 
Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.


PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS AND PRAYERS 

The same way Hannah moved God to answer her prayer, I pray the Lord my God to deliver your heart from any trace of selfishness so that you will move God to answer your prayers.

The same way Solomon moved the heart by desiring wisdom, I pray my Father who is in heaven to cause your heart to desire heavenly empowerement and heavenly things more than earthly things
