Every Godly prayer is answered before the prayer itself is finished. “My father will give you whatever you ask in my name” (John 16:23). When you ask in faith and in Christ’s name that is oneness with him and his will, it will be given to you (John 15:7).

Since God’s word can not fail, it is wise to close every prayer with praise to God for the answer he has already given. Praise be to the Lord, who has not abandoned His kindness and faithfulness towards us.

When you believe God for a blessing you must have an attitude of faith and begin to act and pray if the blessing were already yours. This attitude of trust means leaning upon Him for what we have claimed and He (Jesus) has given us our request and will continue to give it.

Are you being confronted with a circumstance or difficulties in your life today? What am I to do when I cannot retreat or go forward and my way is blocked to the right or to the left?

The Master’s word to you is Stand Firm. The best thing you can do during these times is to listen only to the Master’s words, for others will come to you with their suggestions and evil advice. Despair will come, whispering “give up- lie down and die. It is too difficult for you to continue living the part of a Christian, abandon your principles.” No matter how much Satan may pressure you to follow his course, you cannot, for you are a child of God. The Lord’s divine decree has commanded that we go from strength to strength (Psalm 84:7), therefore neither death nor hell shall turn you from your course.

Stand Firm, you must maintain the posture of one who stands ready for action, expecting further orders and cheerfully and patiently awaiting the Director’s voice. It will not be long until God will say to you as he told Moses to tell the children of Israel, Stand Firm.

And God said, “I have constantly allowed people in your life who hurt you, hate you, and try to hinder you. You ask yourself, why does God allow these people in my life? My dear child, these people help push you to pray deeper, praise harder and to grow higher. I am using them for your greater good, so send them a thank you card.

God honors faith, stubborn faith. We must not overlook the fact that faith on our part helps God to carry out his plans for you. Be willing to come to the help of the Lord. Faith assist God. It can shut the mouths of lions and quench the most destructive fire. Faith still honors God, and God honors faith. Oh for the kind of faith that will move ahead, leaving God to fulfill his promise when he sees fit. Let us shoulder our load, without looking as though we were carrying God’s coffin. Let us launch our ships into the deep. You will find that all things are possible with God, and everything is possible for him who believes. Today let us attempt great things for God, taking His faith to believe great things and taking his strength to accomplish them! Stand firm and believe!

Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you (Genesis 13:14-15)

No desire will ever be placed in you by the Holy Spirit unless He intends to fulfill it. So let your faith raise up and soar away, claim all the land you can discover. Look as far as you can, for it is all yours. All you long to be as a christian, and all you long to do for God, are within the possibilities of faith. Then draw closer to him and with your bible before you and your soul completely open to the Holy Spirit, allow your entire being to receive the baptism of his presence. As God opens your understanding enabling you to see his fullness, believe he has it all for you. Accept for yourself all the promises of his word, all the desires he awakens within you, and all the possibilities of what you could become as a follower of Jesus Christ. “All the land you see is given to you.”

Some glad day, all watching past, You will come for me at last; Then I’ll see you, hear your voice, Be with you, with you rejoice; How sweet hope thrills me through, Sets me longing, dear Lord, for you.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then Face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am know. (1 Corinthians 13:12)

Do you know the plan of God for your life? “I know the thoughts that I (Jesus) think towards you says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). The Lord places considerable emphasis on his unchangeable plan for you to bring you peace and not evil in your life. God remembers his covenant promises of restoration. The bible says, “Behold I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth, shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19). He said he will make a way when there is no way! God will not trick you or play with your life as though you were a puppet. You have the ability to hear from God. “My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27). Will you follow him and know he has a perfect plan for your life? God will honor you and help you if you obey and practice to be obedient sheep. “For he is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand” (Psalm 95:7)He knows the plans he has for you. Just believe.
