Welcome to Pamoja Ministry. There are moments
-
in life when prayer changes. You are no longer
-
asking God for something convenient. You are
-
no longer asking Him to make life easier. You
-
are standing before something. You cannot move.
-
You have done what you know to do. You have tried.
-
You have prayed. You have waited. You have fought.
-
And eventually, you arrive at the boundary of
-
your own strength. and from somewhere deep inside
-
your spirit comes a cry, God, I need you to intervene.
-
This season of Pamoja begins with one extraordinary
-
moment in scripture. Jehoshaphat entered a battle,
-
the enemy surrounded him, he cried out, and the
-
Bible says, the Lord helped him, but it doesn't
-
stop there, and God moved them. There is a mystery
-
hidden inside those words. Sometimes, God gives
-
you strength to face what is coming. But sometimes,
-
God moves what is coming. And that revelation
-
opened the door to an entire journey. What happens
-
when God intervenes? Sometimes, He helps you.
-
Sometimes, He carries you. When your strength
-
disappears, He sustains you. When you cannot
-
see another step, He carries you somewhere. you
-
could never reach by yourself. Sometimes God
-
looks at what has been pursuing you and establishes
-
a boundary no farther. And sometimes he doesn't
-
merely stop the battle, he reverses it. The thing
-
that looked like your ending becomes the beginning
-
of something else. The prison becomes a doorway.
-
The accusation collapses. The trap breaks. The
-
pursuer becomes defeated. And you discover that
-
divine intervention does not always mean escaping
-
the battle. Sometimes it means, the battle changes
-
direction, but what about when God doesn't move
-
immediately? What about the waiting? What about
-
the silence? What about the deadline that passes
-
while you are still praying? There too, we discovered
-
another mystery. Invisible does not mean inactive.
-
Silent does not mean absent. Waiting does not
-
mean forgotten. Joseph was still in prison when
-
Pharaoh began dreaming. something had already
-
started moving, even though Joseph could not
-
see it. And perhaps what we call, God finally
-
showed up, is sometimes simply the moment we
-
finally recognize, he was there the entire time.
-
And that brings us to the footprints. Two sets
-
of footprints while the road was easy, but through
-
the fire, the water, the mud, the wilderness,
-
the valley, only one. And the question rises,
-
God, where were you when I needed you most? And
-
then comes the answer. Those were not your footprints.
-
They were mine. You weren't walking. I was carrying
-
you. And perhaps that is the mystery of divine
-
intervention. Sometimes you recognize God's hand
-
while he is moving. Sometimes you recognize it
-
while he is carrying you. And sometimes you only
-
recognize it when you look back. You look at
-
what should have destroyed you, the door that
-
closed, the battle you survived, the snare that
-
broke, the strength that somehow returned, the
-
faith that somehow remained, and suddenly Psalm
-
124 becomes your testimony. If the Lord had not
-
been on my side, where would I be? This is more
-
than a season about miracles. It is a journey
-
into the mystery of God's presence when human
-
strength reaches its limit. If you are facing
-
something you cannot move. If you are exhausted
-
from carrying something too heavy. If you are
-
waiting for an answer you cannot see. If you
-
are wondering whether God has forgotten you.
-
If you have survived something and still don't
-
understand how. This season is for you. Ten conversations.
-
One journey. From God, where are you? To the
-
revelation. You were there the entire time. This
-
is The Mystery of Divine Intervention, Season
