So many needs in the church and so many for the lost. We must pray without ceasing. We must pray with faith as without faith it is impossible to please God. We must believe and know that God is hearing the cry of our heart. We must know He is actively working on those prayer requests.
Will we only rejoice when we see the answers? Or will we choose to allow God to give us the joy of our Salvation now. Will He be enough if we never see it answered in our lifetime. Will we rejoice in Him and Him alone no matter what?
We may not see a gimps to a prayer request for years. So, do we moan and groan and have no joy for years? No, that is not what walking with God is. Walking with God in the knowledge that He is bigger than anything or anyone and He is faithful as we send Him our requests and intercede beleiving.
The Lord wants us to work on ourselves and keep our hearts right and pure before Him. Constantly repenting of any thought, word or action that is not like Him. None have totally arrived yet. But praise Him that we are growing more and more into His likeness and the things of the world are growing strangely dim and the righteousness of God are becoming more and more a huge part of our longings and desires. And that means He is becoming more in us and self is dying more and more. Hallelujah to that!
My prayer is that I continue interceding for other as the Holy Spirit leads, that I dont cover up or try to justify anything the Holy Spirit is wanting to show me of myself and that by His grace alone I will turn from it and embrace God's ways. And with His help alone can I do this. He is so faithful to help, to answer, to intervene as we are quiet before Him to hear Him. Not too busy with life or worry we cannot receive His joy & peace & hear His voice.
Nothing in this world is worth more than being still and having communion with Him. Not ministry, not careers, not people, not anything. When He comes I want to already be in communion with Him in thought, in heart, in everything and it will be a beautiful love meeting - already being in each others Presence. So, I fight to not allow worry, anxiety, troubles etc. get a hold of me for long. When it comes I go straight to the Lord with it and when peace comes I know it is in His Hands and I have the peace & joy of the Lord again. Giving God all the glory for He is worthy!
Praying for all to come closer to Him in a deeper longing, to have a hunger and thirst for Him and His Word - His righteousness.
The more we get to know Him, the more we will fall in love with Him and the more the sinful nature will flee & the more of Him will become part of us.
Nothing is impossible with You Lord and without You we can do nothing Lord. Come Lord Jesus, Come. Amen - Let it be!
