Have you ever ask for something more than once? How do you respond when you don't get what you want? Satan is a condemning intimidator. He will go to any length to destroy our confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ. 1-John 3:21 states; "that if our heart condemn us not, then we have confidence in our Lord."
I am convinced that it's hell that comes to strip away our confidence in our God. Satan doesn't want us to believe that God is there for us in our test and trials, that He has abandoned us in our deepest valley, that He is to busy to hear the cry of our hearts in our storms, and to direct our lives.
Ps 34:17 "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth and delivereth them from all their troubles."
" Accident or Design?"
The Sun is 93 million miles away from the earth. I don't believe that happen by accident. God is a great designer. If the sun were at a different distance, the temperatures would be some 50 degrees either way. There would be no life here on planet, as we know it.
The Rotation of the earth moves 365 times a year around the sun. If it only went 50 times around the sun, part of the planet would be in darkness and the other part would be mostly daylight. Again life wouldn't exist as they do here on earth if it were any other way.
The Air in the earth's atmosphere is 21% oxygen. If it were say 65% instead of what it is, every time someone lit a match, we would all be toast. God is a great designer and has a blueprint for your life. Refuse to believe the lies of hell that God has somehow forgotten about you in your deepest dark hour. Refuse to believe that God doesn't have time to design his perfect will for your life.
The key and answer to receiving what we need from God is based on our confidence that He hears us when we pray. Ephesians 3:20 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think of him according to the power that worketh within us."
What power is working in your heart today? Is there confidence in your heart? Satan's greatest weapons against us are doubt and discouragement. Allow the weapon of the word of God cut down his dirty lies.
Paul says in Philippines 1:6 "Be confident of this very thing that He which hath begun a good work in you shall perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." God has a plan for the storm your in today. He says in Romans 8:28; "And we know that all things work together for good to them who love God and are called according to His purpose." What the devil means for evil, God will turn it for good.
Go to God every morning with confidence that He is waiting to hear the cry of your heart. "If God be for us, who can be against us." Remind him that He is the great designer of the earth and the developer of your life as well. Go ahead, ask again with confidence in you're heart that He is standing in heaven waiting to hear the cry of your heart.
I thank you for this.
ReplyDeleteI know that there is a reason I'm going through the trial I'm going through and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tired of it but I am tired of it and I am praying for a breakthrough.
I am now helping a friend in Oklahoma who is a christian with medical problems and church problems due to illness, she knows my trial.
Have a great day sir. :-)
