Obedience Increases Your Faith - Journaling Prayer by LaWanda

Mark Virkler's picture

LaWanda – O Lord, Jesus, you are calling Me to come close to you using obedience as the key, the way to get there.  O Lord, help Me to listen to you, to trust you and then to immediately obey you.  This is my heart’s desire, Lord, not because of what it will do for Me but because I want to honor you.  You have said that you want obedience more than sacrifice.  I know our works will never take the place of being obedient to your word, Lord, so please help me to obey.


I see you, Lord, in this very moment standing behind me as I write.  You have placed your hands on my shoulders and are just letting your love flow into me.  You are smiling as you see what I am writing for you know that obedience IS the key to it all.  Even as I feel your love flowing through me, Lord, you are increasing my desire for you, my desire to be obedient to you, to honor you in all that I do.

Jesus – LaWanda, My dear one,  My precious one, My Be-loved.  I love it when you allow my love to fill you, when you allow yourself to “Be-Loved” by Me.  Precious one, there is nothing greater that you can do to honor Me than to obey My word.  Obedience does a lot of things, LaWanda.  It shows respect.  It gives honor.  It builds confidence.  It increases faith.  It motivates to continue to obey.  I could go on, LaWanda, but you get the idea.  Obedience is good for you.  And as all things that you give to Me, even your obedience, I will bless and multiply it.  The benefit to you cannot really be calculated.  Through obedience you actually come to love Me more.  After the fact you may see why you needed to obey or you may not, but when you do, it will increase your faith exponentially – like nothing else can.

O my precious one, listen to my voice, trust that what I am saying is true and then obey Me.  It really is as simple as that.  And when you find that you have not obeyed, stop and repent.  Change the way you see it and then keep on obeying.  If you do, you will reap the blessings of obedience, all of them, again and again.  And remember, with Me, every “again” is A…Gain.

“So Samuel said: Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the Lord?  Behold to obey is better than sacrifice…” I Samuel 15:22

How Could I Have Been So Wrong? MP3 Download Package

This is my story of how my cardiac event was resolved by combining the best in medical care, Christian spirituality, and nutrition. 

I was NOT supposed to have a cardiac event. I ate a healthy diet, exercised several times a week, consumed lots of great nutrition and sought to live destressed by abiding in Christ. This story contains the lessons I learned in the months of healing after having emergency surgery which involved five heart bypasses.
