[FamilyofGod] Tears, The Liquid Prayer - God Cares
Tears, The Liquid Prayer - God Cares
Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy, He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalm 126:5-6
There are many different kinds of tears, and these are actually a sign of what is in the depths of our hearts. The Bible tells us that what we sow in life we reap. We are planting seeds, and when harvest time comes we reap what we sow.
Those wanting spiritual breakthrough for specific needs should really pay heed to this verse. For when we come before God he wants a broken vessel, one that is surrendered and seeking. One that listens for the voice of God, and seeks it with all his heart.
Tears of brokenness are blessed by God, as the word says God values them so much He keeps our tears in a bottle. (Psalm 56:8). Throughout the word we find where men and women cried out to God from the deep anguish and agony of their heart, and God heard their prayers and delivered them.
Tears spent in prayer will sow a seed of faith that will reap a harvest of results.
Read that again, and keep it in your heart.
Tears spent in prayer will sow a seed of faith that will reap a harvest of results.
God does hear the cry of your heart!
Charles Spurgeon, the great orator and preacher said that the ministry of tears was "liquid prayer." They are pouring our heart out before God, seeking Him with all our heart, soul and mind. A drink offering before the throne of God, poured out before his presence, surrendered unto his will.
What a beautiful thing this is in his sight!
In 2 Kings 20:5 we learn of tears of sorrow or suffering.
In Genesis 33:4 we learn that there are tears of joy.
In John 11:35 we learn that there are tears of compassion.
In Esther 4:1,3 we learn that there are tears of desperation.
In Isaiah 42:14 we learn there are tears of travail or giving birth.
In Joel 2:12, 13 we learn there are tears of repentance.
These are indeed a great weapon in spiritual warfare.
For this is the warfare of faith, and of brokenness before God.
A final willingness to say God, I know you are in charge, I give you all that I have, I pour out my sorrows before you, in expectancy of your deliverance, hope and ultimate openness to the will of God. A broken person has realized their position in God, and seeks His will first.
This results in the blessings of God pouring out upon those who wait for God.
If you are desperate for answers,
if you are seeking answers that seem impossible,
if life has overwhelmed you and you feel anxious,
if you desire to see changes in your life,
if you feel alone and abandoned,
if you are at the end of your rope,
there is a way through anything you face today.
There is one who is always available, full of compassion, full of wisdom, full of well planned things for your life. He has been with you since the beginning of your life, and will be with you until you enter eternity. He knows everything about you. He has your best interest at heart, and will never leave nor forsake you.
HE is the Great I Am - "I am whatever you need."
Cry out to God, and He shall hear and answer your prayers in the way that is best. He is your Father, after all.
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and shall not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5
Wait I say upon the Lord, and He shall give thee the desires of thy heart. Psalm 37:4
He who dwells in the secret place of the most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty, I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge, My Fortress, In HIM will I trust. Psalm 91:1-2
Remember
Only one life, will soon be past,
Only what is done, for Christ will last.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14)
Love & Prayers,
