If you really believe that all the promises of
God as yea and amen through Christ Jesus. (2
Cor 1:20)
·
If you believe that no good thing will God
withhold from those who walk upright. (Ps.
84:11)
·
If you believe that every good and perfect gift
comes from above. (James 1:17)
·
If you believe that God shall supply all your
needs according to His riches in Glory. (Phi
4:19)
·
If you believe that if you concern yourself with
the things of God that He will concern Himself with your things. (Matt 6:33)
·
If you believe that if you delight in the Lord
that He will give you the desires of your heart (Ps. 37:4)
·
If you believe that you should be anxious
for nothing but in everything by prayer (general) and
supplication (specific) with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to
God and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart
and mind through Christ Jesus. (Phil
4:6-7)
If you believe all of the above then you
need to shout now!! Thank God Now!! For the great things that will manifest in
your life. Why manifest Angela? I am glad you asked. Manifest is the evidence
that you get to see when the prayer becomes a visible reality. When Daniel
prayed to God and subsequently went on a fast desiring a word from God. The
account goes that the Archangel Michael come to him on the 21 day but stated he
was held back by Satan, he had his answer 3 days into his fast. The moment that
your prayer is sealed with an “AMEN” it’s been answered and the outcome assured
it just hasn’t necessarily been made visible in the natural yet. 
We are given some conditions for our
prayers being answered, I pray that you pray in this spirit:
·
When we pray if we believe
it we shall receive it (Mark 11:24)
·
Without faith it is
impossible to please God, we must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder
of those who diligently seek Him (Heb
11:6)
·
We are not to ask
remiss. (James 4:1-4 Where do wars and fights come
from among you? Do they not come from your desires for
pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have.
You murder and covet (jealousy desiring
things that belong to another) and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet
you do not have because you do not ask. You ask
and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your
pleasures. Adulterers and
adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with
God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy
of God.)
o
Meaning: asking for the
wrong reason
§ I want to pay her/him back (Revenge)
§ Pray for something that will hurt someone else
§ Greed
§ Vanity
·
We should be concerning
ourselves with the things of God (Seek ye
first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and your basic needs (food,
shelter, and clothing) will be taken care Matt 6:33) Remember when Solomon
was asked what did he want God to do for him he asked for wisdom to judge his
people rightly. He could have asked for anything in the world, but because his
heart was for doing right by God, God blessed him innumerably.
·
We must ask within the
will of God (Jesus said not my will but
thy will be done before he was turned over for crucifixion.) We must be
willing to accept God’s final answer knowing that whatever His decision it is WELL WITH OUR SOUL!! Don’t get me wrong
-- shout now that you’ve received it!! Being humble enough like the three
Hebrew boys who were put in the fiery furnace when asked where is your God? They
stated confidently our God is able to save us and if He decides not to we’ll
still praise Him!!
So go ahead Praise God in ADVANCE for the
marvelous things He is doing for you and on your behalf!! Because our God is
truly an awesome God and He lives and He reigns!! It’s because of that reality
that I can face tomorrow!!
So I am going to Praise You oh Lord in
Advance!!!
