Prophecy
Lord, Help Me
Psalms 34:4-7, 15, and 17; Hebrews 4:16
Sometimes your sorrows are so overwhelming, you fear you’ll lose the peace I’ve imparted to you. satan is quick to seize upon such stressful moments and use them to his dark advantage. He’ll whisper the vilest lies in your ear, using all his cunning to undermine your faith in My faithfulness and love. From that point it’s easy to slide into a deep vortex of self-pity, lamenting that you don’t have this or that prayer answered, that no one cares about you, even asking yourself why I ever created you in the first place. All it takes sometimes is a small cruelty or unkind word from another person to trigger off these seismic reactions which shatter your soul. All devastating earthquakes begin with mild foreshocks.
Recognize the potential for one trial giving rise to another, deeper hurt, through the lies of the devil. The moment some irritation happens or someone says or does something to get you all upset; the moment you are tempted to engage in the slightest sin, call upon Me for help in time of need.
Many make the mistake of thinking: I’m big enough to handle this hurt or this temptation. I'm mature enough to rise above this petty aggravation. I’m too busy to compose a prayer now, anyway. That’s the problem. People feel better about themselves when their prayers are eloquent and “worth offering up.” But your goal should not be to merit a higher opinion of yourself by being eloquent in My Presence. You are facing a crisis which has the potential to blow up into a much bigger battle, one that you alone are unable to fight. You must come humbly to Me for help that I alone can give. All I ask is that you live continually in the awareness that you have access to Me through the High Priestly ministry of My sinless Son, your Redeemer the Lord Jesus Christ. This faith alone is sufficient to impart the proper humility to you.
I am not at all impressed by the cleverly contrived public invocations of pompous religious folk. Oftentimes, these utterances are not true prayers at all, but mere displays of fleshly pride. I do not even listen to such dribble. All I want is for you to pour out your heart to me. If you are too stressed to add anything else to your petition, just come to Me through Christ and say: “ Lord, help me.”
I am not confined to time, for I am a Being of eternity. I will already have dispatched angels to your aid even before your prayer is formed in your heart! If I waited till you were fully aware of the looming crisis, much damage would already have been done by the enemy.
If you feel you are in danger of any kind, whether from natural perils, or demonic attacks oppressing your soul or circumstances, cry out to Me and say: “Lord, help Me.” You will feel the oppression leave your soul, like a great weight being lifted from it. The joy and peace of faith will replace the awful fear and despondency the devil had tried to chain you to. Moreover, I will destroy the seeds of destruction sown into the field of your life by the enemy, and restore all he has stolen from you. It takes the power of My Spirit to fight off these attacks of satan. And mighty angels, My unseen secret service agents, are there to rescue you, and to drive off the forces of darkness.
You incur much needless suffering when you fail to call upon Me in time of distress.
