God Will Do It

 

John 14: 14, whatever you ask in My name I will do it.

There is no doubt we live in a turbulent world. To most of us things don't seem to make much sense. Things that happen seem like they shouldn't, and things that don't happen seem like they should.

Sometimes it seems that no matter how hard we try, or how long we think about something, things happen that make all our effort useless. As people say, things just happen.

I guess it wouldn't be too bad if you eliminated things like sickness and crime, all kinds of unpleasant things. But think about it, that would be like being in Heaven and that's not where we are.

So, what are we supposed to do, sit around and mope, complain about the way things are, and worry all the time. My friends, that would also be a bad waste of time. So how do we fix these problems and deal with all these unknown, unforeseen circumstances?

Philippians 4: 6, be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

OK, that's a good start. Now here comes the hard part. For prayer to work you have to believe. We all know that when things are going good it is very easy to believe.

When we look at the real hard things in our lives, prayer is still the answer, but it can be much harder to believe. The fact is that the harder it is, and the harder it is to believe, that's exactly when it counts the most.

Almighty God is not a wishy-washy character that answers prayers depending on how He feels. The words the Bible tells us, ask and you shall receive for instance, is true in every sense of the word. Another hard part about prayer, is you usually have to wait for your answer. That again is the place where it counts the most.

I found out years ago what the word of the Lord says is absolutely true. I have never had an experience that prayer was not answered. It may not have been answered in the way I expected it to, or wanted it to, but it was answered for my good.

Believe me when I tell you that I have had many hard times in my life but thank God for most of those years especially the ones starting 20 years ago, I believed. If there was a life and death matter, and it was, several times, or just some ordinary thing. God took everything seriously and helped when I needed it.

My friends, do not ever doubt the word of the Lord. If you do, it will be at your peril, and your loss. Your punishment will be that you will have what you believe if you believe wrongly.

Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

God Bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus Loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I Thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal Savior. Thank you Lord.

Amen! 

Praise The Lord!
