Right Now

Make haste

Many times times I have been known to say we do not have a microwave religion. By that I mean everything does not happen when we want it to.

We want everything to happen instantly, fast food, microwaved ,same day checking and banking.

And for the most part we can not expect God to work like that because we are on God’s timetable and God is not on out timetable.

You know how scripture says “ We are the sheep of his pasture”

Or For those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.

But there ater times when the need is now

there are times when the situation is so pressing

There are times when the hurt is so deep

There are times when the pain is too much

There are times when the weight is so heavy that you don’t want to hear he may not come when you want him but he is always right on time

You don’t want to hear wait on the lord

Those are the the times you call out make haste Lord

Come quickly

Hurry lord

Rescue me, deliver me ,Save me

Right Now

Smokey Norful

Says it like this

Not a second not another minute , not another an hour or another day , but at his moment with my arms outstretched , i need you to make away , I need right away , I need you now!

I wonder is it alright to feel the way that I do! For I know you are a God of perfect timing.

I know that i should glory in tribulation, for tribulation produces perseverance, , and perseverance character, and character hope , and hope does not disappoint.

I know sometimes what we go through and out trials are nothing but a test or a trial.

I know that perseverance is a mandatory for faith!

I know

I know moses went to Pharoah and had to wait through ten Plagues for Pharoah to let the people go , and in the end they were a free people.

I know Joseph waited in jail 16 years and when you brought him out he was in charge, because you know what’s best and everything that happened to Joseph you made it alright

I know Jesus was on the cross and suffered and even died ,but you raised him on the cross

I know Lord but sometimes

I need right now!

You see this psalm is a prayer.

Not i know it not like our model prayer, someone usesd the acronym of ACTS for a model of a prayer

Acknowledge him for who he is

Confess your sins ,your unworthiness

Thanksgiving for all he does

Supplication make your petitions.

This psalm is attributed to David! And David had sometimes in his life that the intervention of God was a right now thing. The Book of first Samuel id full examples when David had a right now experience with God!

David ask for help

Facing Goliath! Right now

Chapter 17

when we face those giants those big moments in our life it is a right now God time!

When Saul was pursuing him and was trying to trap him in the Town Keilah, and the Lord warned him that was right now experience! 23rd chapter of first Samuel

When David was camp was overrun by the Amalekites and all of his possessions , family were captured and his men were bout to turn on him , that was a right now time. 30 Chapter

Make haste God!

Hurry god!

Don’t delay God because I may not make it.

I got enemies who seek my life.

I live to serve God but i can’t serve if i am dead.

Confuse my Enemies

Now David might have been talking about real enemies . Flesh and Blood haters that seek to take you out. I hope that there are not many of us who have people in our life like that! but in this day and time of Gang violence, Drug Dealing., lack of care, defeatism and despair ,somebody might be facing just such a enemy. Who does not value the sanctity of life. With the proliferation of Gun violence and the lack thought of people losing their lives over the trivial. This might be the prayer that we should leave home with on our lips.

Gun violence was up in North Carolina from 2019 to 2020

Deaths from 511 to 670

So right now i pray that the Lord defeats this spirit of the enemy

that promoted violence ,killing and makes the Saints weak in the face of the enemy

I pray for courage and wisdom and i pray for change that is real and right now in the name of Jesus!

So maybe like David we need to pray to the Lord right now

make them ashamed lord

Make them confused

turn back those who seek me harm.

When they say Aha i got you,

I need you Lord to free me, When the trap is set i need you to move me out of the way !

And so we pray I need you!

So we pray i need you Now!

Our young folks need you now!

Our old folks need you now!

But i need to expand David’s plea, for enemy can be more than flesh and blood

I think cancer is a enemy

I think Covid can be an enemy

i think pain can be an enemy.

I think depression can be an enemy

I think the system can be an enemy

And just when the enemy thinks it has you ,

I call out to God i need you now

not another second or minute, not an hour or another day I need you now!

When Peter was walking on water and stretched out his hand and you saved him right then That’s how i need you

When the Egyptians were racing with chariots to destroy the Israelites and you parted the read sea

i need you now

Like when Abraham was getting ready to sacrifice Issac but you had angel stay his hands ,i need you like that.

David said let all who call out

rejoice , and bless your name

Oh God the wonderful

Oh God the mighty!

I going to praise you regardless. i am going to praise you in spite of

Magnify the name of the lord with me!

because if we magnify his name i believe he will come!

If we praise him him like we don’t have any sense i believe he will show up

I believe if we call on the name of the Lord he going to heal

I believe if we call on the name of the lord he will make away!

i believe if we call on the name of Jesus

Call on then name of Jesus

Somebody will be made whole

call on the name of Jesus and somebody will be made free

call on the name of Jesus .

My Help

David says i am poor and needy

dependent on you, oh lord

You are the only hope i know

you are my my help in the present time of trouble

my help , my help comes from the Lord

deliver me lord deliver me

not tomorrow right now

not another second or minute right now

not tomorrow but right now!

Deliver this church right now

deliver this county right now

deliver this state right now

deliver our youth right now

I press on Jesus

Haste

I press on Jesus

but don’t delay

I press on Jesus but hurry

I an poor and helpless but i know you are able

I don’t know when your are coming or if you you are coming ,but i can’t make it without you make haste

An urgent trial hear my prayer
