And Samuel said,
“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices,
    as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
    and to listen than the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22

So much of my early life, I was disobedient to the Lord. Often, I was afraid of man and what he may think of me like Saul alluded to in 1 Samuel 15:24. Other times I was disobedient for my selfish reasons; I realize that the loss has been mine. Obedience is so that God can elevate our lives and increase our trust with Him and prepare us for work in the Kingdom. It ultimately blesses us. 

God regretted ever making Saul king (15:35), because he disobeyed and justified it, by saying he would offer a sacrifice from the spoils he brought back. God told him to completely destroy those wicked people, and war against them until you have wiped them out (15:18).
When God has regret, there are consequences. God then used Samuel to finish what Saul started and then He lifted the anointing off of Saul and chose another King.  

What area in your life is God clearly giving you instruction. Be courageous & obey! He will move on your behalf when you surrender and obey. 

                          Obedience synchronizes acceleration in the waiting process.                                                                                              

It is more delightful to flourish and be lifted up in the blessing than to walk in correction and repair.
God desires to bless you and increase you - it's up to you the direction you take.

In my quiet time this morning, God showed me something. He said to me:
             “Oh, that you would call Me King.”
Kingdoms operate with a King. The King has full authority of that Kingdom. We are living in this temporal world, but we can CHOOSE to be in it, but not “of it”.
When we declare God as our King; that puts us in His Kingdom. Being in His Kingdom allows Him to operate on our behalf and our will and world starts lining up with His will and His Kingdom. 

             Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven. Matthew 6:10

God gives us a command, which is a clue, to:
              Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, 
              and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, 
              and bless his name. (Psalms 100:4)

When we praise and bless His name in the spirit of thanksgiving, it signifies Him as our King. It is an act of submission and postures us for the principles of HIS KINGDOM to operate!

WOW!! Are you getting this?? 

By calling Him King, His Word has the power to manifest itself. It is in His spiritual kingdom that His Word and His principles do not return void!! 
              So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that                          
              which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11). 
If your are thinking, the scripture says the word that goes out of GODS mouth…. 

Well, His word is the sword (Eph 6:17). It becomes the two-edged sword when we speak His word a second time from our mouth.
The two-edged sword, in Hebrews 4:12,  has two mouths on the handle; one for when God spoke it and the second is when you speak it.
When you speak His Word, it goes forth, in faith, into the spirit realm, and returns with what you spoke forth from Heaven. The Word manifests itself into this temporal natural world!!
              Scripture Happens!

God gave us dominion over this earth and our lives. But, we have to enter our lives into His Kingdom or proclaim He is Our King. That was the secret he gave me this morning. 
        “Oh, that you would call me King”.

Prayer:
King Jesus, I enter into your courts with praise and thanksgiving . I bless your holy name! You are my King. Holy Spirit I give you permission to move in my life. 
I declare:  (Speak out loud a promise from His Word). Amen
