I was singing that song last night as I was either beginning my prayer or finishing my prayer. I can’t remember. But, I do KNOW that I song a snippet of it last night. Now that I am typing, I know it was before and after my prayer.
I had called to check up on Mrs. Pirtle (fooling with Mrs. Pirtle-that title and topic coming to the blog one day). She informed (INFORMED) me that I would be SHARING the WORD today 12/20/2020. The format, context, and purpose are important and they are not my focus INREALTIME.
The focus is that I was INFORMED that I would be SHARING the WORD. I COULDN’T SAY NO. TRUST ME WHEN I SAY IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH “…ALWAYS HAVE A WORD...” I was SO EXHAUSTED from working AND yesterday’s errands, that I COULDN’T, COULDN’T–ARE YOU READING THIS?(SAME AS ARE YOU HEARING ME? COULDN’T SAY NO. It is not a full message, it’s for 7 minutes. I TRIED TO SAY NO. I STATED that I have some errands and plans for today. I COULDN’T SAY what they are, but I know in my current robotic, check off duties list, my errands and tasks will be completed TODAY.
After our brief conversation and it was brief. I begin to sing “…Make it like it was…” by Regina Belle. There was a time that I would have had a WORD to SHARE. In my daily (new use for the word). I would have had several conversations with the LORD. I would have had talks with family and friends. I would have listened to several messages from other ministers. In my conversations and observations, the LORD would have SPOKEN AND CONFIRMED HIS MESSAGE to SHARE.
“….MAKE IT LIKE IT WAS...” is what I begin to sing.
Everyday WE used to slip away to talk (PRAYER, FASTING, PRAISE AND WORSHIP)
WE would talk about the goodness of YOUR heart
Now it seems a myth that never exists at all
And it leaves me feeling empty
With this hollow call
Make it like it was
The way it used to be
When I HUNGERED for YOUR LOVE (SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND)
Constantly
Make it like it was
It was easier for me
I know YOU’RE able
To make it like it was
At a certain time YOU would find me on my knees
Asking YOU to supply all my brothers’ needs
NOW it seems the needs are a secondary thing (TOO BUSY)
And it truly makes me wonder
What’s really happening (…the enemy…..KILL…STEAL and DESTROY...)
Now when I compare there’s really no comparing (YOU ARE GOD ALONE!!!!)
I just want it the way it used to be (HOLY SPIRIT, HELP ME TO HEAR GOD)
Just the thought of living without YOUR LOVE (IF THOU WITHDRAW THYSELF FROM THEE…)
Makes me ASK that YOU make it like it was (RENEW THE RIGHT SPIRIT IN ME)
LORD, I AM ASKING THE HOLY SPIRIT, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, TO TEACH AND TO SHOW ME HOW TO GET BACK TO YOU WHERE I HEAR YOU. THANK YOU, LORD, FOR ALLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH AND SHOW ME HOW TO NOT WORK WHEN I AM TO WORSHIP. IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
KNOWING THAT MY PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED, I AM ASSURED THAT….
…Nothing will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS…..”
