His plans will prevail

My life is not my own. It seems that is constantly being confirmed to me. This afternoon I got into the prayer room and two index cards fell out of my Bible.

Isaiah 46:10-11
My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure...
Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.

Romans 4:20-21
He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief,
but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being
fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

I knew the Lord was establishing the "word" for the day. My journal seemed to have vanished so I grabbed another one out of my bag. It just so happened to be the exact one from this time last year. When I opened it there was an entry from October 8, 2007. I was sitting in the IHOP Atlanta prayer room. The Lord had gripped my heart and I knew I was called to the house of prayer. At the time, I was more "successful" and financially secure than I have ever been. I surrendered and told the Lord I trusted Him. I told Him I would follow His plans for my life and be anxious for nothing. I figured it would be maybe a five year plan....maybe I would eventually be an intercessory missionary. It seemed so far fetched and impossible. Here I sit one year later full time in His house. What ever word He has given you.....hold fast.....He has purposed it....He will also do it.
