God Listens

God Listens

I cry out to the Lord; I pray to the Lord for mercy. Psalm 142:1

You can talk to God because God listens. Your voice matters in heaven. He takes you very seriously. When you enter His presence, He turns to you to hear your voice. No need to fear that you will be ignored. Even if you stammer or stumble, even if what you have to say impresses no one, it impresses God, and He listens. He listens to the painful plea of the elderly in the rest home. He listens to… Continue

God Has Not Forgotten About You!

Sometimes we look around at other people and see how God is causing their lives to soar and we get discouraged. If this is happening to you, don’t be discouraged because God has not forgotten about you. Every person is different and God deals with each person differently. So, it’s their season to flourish in the things of God and the vision He has given them now but your time is coming soon. Don’t get angry and bitter at them either; it is God who causes them to prosper. Be honest with yourself… Continue

God’s Grace Is Sufficient for Us: He Knows Where We Are

Happy New Year Everyone!

God encouraged my heart today when I got up, thorough the three events I will describe below, so I want to encourage yours.

First event:

When I first woke up, I was in so much pain (I have had an ear and sinus infections and sore throat for the last 3 or 4 weeks – been to the doctor, tried numerous types of antibiotics and used ear antibiotic drops to no avail). On top of all of that, I have been having severe back pain… Continue

God Is An On Time God! (Just Not Our Time) - Part II

Let’s recap from Part I:

Our “urgent” prayer requests are not always answered by the deadline date (if there is one) because:

1. God wants to get all the glory; He will work things out in the way you or no one else can say, “I did that.”

2. Your faith is being tested; God knows where you are, now He wants you to see where you are. You will find out do you “really” trust God or not. Remember, where your faith lies, that is what you trust in. When you… Continue

God Is An On Time God! (Just Not Our Time) - Part I

I have heard many people make the statement, “God may not come when you want Him, but He is right on time,” this is a true statement; however, it can be confusing to you if you have not received revelation about it.

As I was making my bed, God begin to deal with me about the Scripture where Lazarus had died (John 11:1-45). Lazarus sisters, Mary and Martha, called for Jesus days before he died to let Jesus know Lazarus was sick. But Jesus deliberately delayed going to Lazarus until… Continue

God Alone Is Our Refuge!

Psalm 91

1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

he is my God, and I trust him.

3 For he will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

4 He will cover you with his feathers.

He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

5 Do not be afraid of… Continue

God Is Preparing YOU To Receive

God do not wait until we go through something to work it out, He works it out before we go through it. He knows what is going to happen in our lives before it happens; He made us. But before He can give us what we pray for (if it’s His will), or bring us out, He first must prepare us to receive it. So we must open up and let God prepare us to receive all our stuff.

We must not be so quick to say, “The devil is holding up my stuff;” no, God is preparing you to receive. The devil… Continue

God Is Our Healer And Much More – Part II

Rise up today, and begin walking in your authority. You are already healed from every sickness, disease, plague and bondage (fleshly, spiritual, financial, emotional, abuse, etc.). Whatever is trying to come against you, you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus; “it” cannot hold you down. Speak the Word of God to “it” and use your authority Jesus gave you in Luke 10:19:

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the… Continue

God Is Our Healer And Much More - Part I

Most of the time, when we think of healing, we only think of healing of our body. But God is the Ultimate and only “real” Healer. He does not only heal our natural body, but He also heals our soul (where our emotions and will are), our spirit, and our finances. In other words, God will heal us in every area of our lives.

Don’t settle for less; don’t live beneath your privileges. God is more than enough for you. He has everything under control in your life. I like the song by Phil… Continue

Focus On God's Majesty! Part II (Put Off The Old Man)

v5"Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

v6Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience,

v7in which you also ONCE walked when you lived in them" (you do not live that way any longer).

v8"But now you must also put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

v9Do not lie to one another, since… Continue

Focus On God's Majesty! Part I

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died (not going to died but you are already dead-since you accepted Christ) (reference Gal. 2:20), and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4 New King James Version

Galatians 2:20: "I have been… Continue

What You See Is Not What You Get!

What you see is NOT what you get! Whose report are YOU going to believe? I am going to believe the report of the Lord. Don't settle for the devil's lies. Remember, he was a liar from the beginning, he is a liar now, and will always be a liar. Trust God with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. He has everything in control; He knows what He is doing in YOUR life.

Be blessed,
Dr. Hooks
