Welcome!
Since my publishing on 5-28-18, I have been moving forward in many areas.
As I was sitting down getting ready to read a newsletter from a ministry, I was reminded of something my best friends grandson said to me the other day as I was taking him to play with my grandson. He said, "are we there yet?" I replied, "almost, just down the road and then three more turns". I told him there were only three turns but having only been to my grandson's new house a few times myself, I miss informed him. So I asked him to count the turns until we would arrive at the destination. "Okay", he replied, one, two, three, yeah! There is their house.
This scenario reminds me of how we are with God when we have been on a long journey to the promise. Asking, "When God?" I know I have asked that a time or two. How long is the road, how many turns or bumps in the road am I going to travel until I'm there? How many Christmases, birthdays, anniversaries are going to pass without seeing the manifestation of the promise?
I personally went through that very thing for seven years, it seemed like the answer to my prayer took a lifetime. It had been so long it seemed as though my situation was going to remain the way it was, but, I wouldn't let anything but what Gods word said come out of my mouth when it came to that situation. I was holding on to His promises against all odds and everything everyone was telling me. The Bible say's "God be true and man be a liar" Romans 3:4. God showed me through that situation that He is faithful!
Sometimes the answer to our promise is based on someone else's obedience, God cannot go against man's will. It could be forgiveness on our part, or, perhaps busting the gates of hell with prayer. Sometimes it's simply a matter of being still before Him and listening to His direction that will lead to the answered prayer. Perhaps it's simply a matter of trusting Him, waiting, and not taking the matter into our own hands. The Bible says "the just shall live by faith" Hebrews 10: 38.
I also know that we cannot have unforgiveness in our hearts.
In Mark 11: 24-25, it reads "I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if believe that you've received it, it will be yours. V25. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your in heaven will forgive your sins too". NLT
Other times the answer comes gradually, that happened with one of my grandsons. He was born premature and had a bleed on the brain, the doctors said he would be a vegetable, but Gods word said something totally different. Every day on my lunch break I would take my little book of promises and walk the stairs in the stairwell quoting Gods word concerning healing over my grandson. I called him, "smart boy" because our words are a creative force. Today He is a smart healthy teenager.
Whatever our situation God is faithful! Isaiah 55:11 read "So shall my word be that goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. AMP
I also know we have an enemy that is fighting the answer to our prayers.
In Daniel 10: 12-13 it reads "...don't be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come to answer your prayers. V13. But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Micheal, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia. NLT
Whatever situation we are facing, and whatever answer to our prayer we are waiting for, God has done His part He defeated Satan and all of his demons.
Colossians 2:15 reads "When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil against us], He made a public example over of them [exibiting them as captives in His triumphal procession], having triumphed over them through the cross". AMP
John 19:30 reads So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said,"It is Finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit". NKJV. He gave us the victory through in Jesus Christ, He took the beating, was nailed to the cross, Gave up His spirit, went down to hell and disarmed satan. finished work on the cross!
HOLD ON!!! Don't give up! Don't allow negative thoughts to bombard your thinking, renew your mind with the word of God!
This I know! HE IS FAITHFUL!!!
