Greetings, My Friends;
Today I'll talk about a problem I think most of
us have, that problem concerns, patience, faith, trust, and just plain waiting
on God.
Galatians 6:9, "and let us not weary while
doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we don't lose heart."
1 Corinthians 1:7, "so that you come short
in no gift, eagerly waiting for the
revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Whether we pray for someone else, or for
ourselves, waiting for the manifestation of what we pray for can be difficult.
The more you want something, the harder it seems to get.
What we don't realize is our impatience can sometimes lead to doubt. Lack of faith or
doubt blocks God in what he is asked to do for us. If we wait long enough,
and that is usually because we don't get
out of the way and let God do it , we sometimes make the fatal mistake of
trying to do it on our own. This spells disaster.
What we have to get into our heads, and that is
harder for some than others, is the fact that God has a plan for each of us. .
The key to answered prayer besides faith,
is to get out of the way. God's plan for each of us was put into effect
before there even was an earth. He had a plan for each. His plan was
unbeatable.
God knows our needs and wants. His plan was
designed to take care of everything. He put desires in our hearts and waits for
us to act on it, ask, and step aside. If you think you wait long for God to do
His part, think about how long God waits
for you to do your part.
When you ask in Jesus name, and believe enough to
stay out of it, God goes to work. Remember, He operates in the spiritual world.
He starts to line everything up and bring it all together. When it comes together,
you have what you ask. Joel Osteen is an example of a puzzle, being put
together. An example I like to use, is a human body and the way it functions.
Each cell, taking its turn in proper sequence to function properly, Is how
God's plan works. Everything at the right time. That timing is perfect.
You may think you're too old to wait for God's
timing, you aren't. I found out a long time ago. that a year of God's plan is
so much better than a lifetime of mine. God sees the whole picture, including
the perfect result. We only see our nose. Which plan do you want to pick?
Remember the old saying, timing is everything!
God bless you and remember,
Jesus
loves you.
Prayer of Salvation;
"Oh God in heaven, I believe with all of my
heart that Jesus has been raised from the dead. I receive Your Word, and I
repent of sin. I renounce the past. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. I receive
my forgiveness. I receive the new birth, cleansed and washed in the Word and in
the precious blood of Jesus. Fill me with Your Spirit, in Jesus name.
Amen."
