Oh Lord Change My Story

'Rewrite My Story, Oh Lord'
Is this a right prayer to pray?
I think the cliche has its overdrawn roots in the changes that comes into our lives through prayer. Prayer changes things. Sin, unbelief, doubt, fear, disobedience and such like have a way of taking us away from divine pathways for our lives. There is the path of righteousness where God leads us and there is also the valley of the shadow of death where we walk into, there are times when we walk away from the waters that go softly and through our lusts like the prodigal son go into the violent waters....these are the things that we use to rewrite our own stories because God had created us free moral agents. Though we give our lives to Christ and call Him Lord we still have the power to yield our members instruments of unrighteousness unto sin...and the repercussions rewrite our stories.
But when we turn to God and repent, he takes us back and clean us up and restores us to our original position to enjoy the original write up in the volume of the book written concerning us.
The other side are the attacks of the enemy.  Satan has a plan for each life:that plan ends in hell. But to believers who won't yield it's ever a war. His plan is to build strongholds of negativity, through the operations of his principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. He would do everything to make sure that the will of God isn't done on earth, in a life, or a family, finance or health, his arrows are flying day and night, his physical evil agents and spiritual accomplices are evwr around and we need to come to the battle with the whole armour of God and not in denial...casting down every imagination, evil thoughts and other high things that exalts itself against the knowledge of the scriptures and that content of the book written concerning us and so waiting in readiness to avenge all disobedience when our own obedience is complete...
These demoniacal forces will seek to add sorrow upon sorrow for us against the will of God, stealing, killing and destroying...
If we leave our lives accepting that all that happens are from God and in His will without striving in prayers to establish the will of God...we give a freeway to the devil.
Prayer changes our lives to what the will of God is. If there are no alternatives to the will of God with the capacity to be established in oir lives there won't be any reason for prayer. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven...will be irrelevant. So if we notice or feel in our spirit that our experiences aren't in line with God's plan, then we need the story to be rewritten to it's original script in the place of prayer.
If you abide in me and my word abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will and it shal be given you.
Then God can make all things work together for your good and make foolish the wisdom of the princes of this world.

I was thinking about what exactly make us do what we do. Why am I writing this? Why do I write at all? Yet everyday decisions are made and actions followed. I ask also why I didn't do the things I didn't do. If I can get to the root of why I do some and left others undone and discover why my decisions tilt in the directions they've gone I may be able to manipulate the process to choose right all the time. And that brings out another question, why would I want to do what is right? How do I get to know what is right or wrong to be able to choose the right from the wrong?
I realise that we love to do what's convenient and pass through the path of least resistant. Yet that path may not always be the path of good. We love to move towards desirable goals and will force ourselves to do what we ought not to do so long there is a promise of reward afterwards.
Our selfishness drives us. In there are lust and fear that motivate to do what may even hurt others now and ourselves later even if such looks appropriate now.
Extraterrestrial influences too are there. Demonic influences and motivations, either by obsessions or possession to control from within in order to do what they have no opportunity of doing by themselves being disembodied.
There also are Divine influences with clear foresight and adequate information to know what ought to be done to arrive at a sure future. Influences through transcribed messages from beyond the physical, sent from the heart of God to instruct and to inform, of which disobedience to them comes with dire consequences.
There also is the realtime instructions of the person of the Holy Spirit which we receive to know what have been freely given to us of God and to reveal to us things to come and hidden wisdom of the present. Not just in our consciousness but majorly in our unconsciousness leading and ordering our thought and steps into divine pleasure and our own peace.
This is where the issue of having to force ourselves to do things comes in. If I am led of the Spirit and even by the Word of scriptures, certain things naturally won't appeal to me. Yet some of these things may look necessary and sometimes even demanded by the environment or society but not receiving motivation from within creates no motivation or enthusiasm to do them, these I can only force myself to do against the inner divine motivation. Same when one is under satanic influence to do good will take all the forces the possessed can muster.
I have always seen reason why waiting for the inspiration from within is necessary. Many a failure have resulted from not waiting and frustration becomes end result. Saul had said he forced himself to do what he did that took away his throne, can we count how many thrones have been lost because we did what we had to do as expected or to protect our status and maintain how we are seen or reputed or to even meet certain standards and obligations?
Meanwhile I haven't seen such flows in getting things done when motivated from within. When led it is through the path of righteousness towards the green pastures and the still waters. We can only force ourselves through the valley of the shadows of death.
So an idea comes to mind and I would love to do it but I am contrained and my reluctance rises like divine standard against an enemy's flood, though the idea looks good I must understand and employ caution. Not every good idea is God idea. Not every opportunity is for good, not every open door leads to a palace many are gates of brass that opens to the courtyards of life's prisons. And when the heart can't match the opportunity or demand with what laws that have been inscribed on its table, it pulls back and drains motivation and inspiration to act even when the potential to do remains available.
That reluctance must never be put down, many times it's a matter of life and death. To you it's time to go but somehow you can't tell why you are still hanging around...just hang around a little more until you have the motivation to go, it'll save life. Wait for inspiration and you won't have to write and then cancel what you wrote a dozen times. When it comes it flows like an open water tap.
But I'm demanded to submit before deadline, yes, the inspiration knows too and is working too with time. Though our time may be different from His time but His time is always best. Don't force yourself to work outside inspiration such albums don't sell. But when it flows it'll flow also in sales. The same inspiration had made sure. It takes care for the success of the project.
Don't speak preacher until the inspiration comes, architect keep scribbling till it comes, the song is coming wait for it Mr. songwriter, salesman, don't just move because it is expected of you to move round to sell...you need the impulse not of laziness but of effectiveness.
Let the push from within complete the work. Let your feet be ordered, let your heart move your hand, you owe no man nothing but success, the world would rather see you succeed than see you hardworking if it produces nothing. Be inspired first and the subsequent move will be for the kill. It is not for today but for the future. Inspiration births eternal things and what we force can only end up in abortion.
I won't let my lust or pride push me, neither would I open the door of my heart for satanic motivations but God's got me. So by His Word and Spirit I live in love, light and holiness. And daily I receive inspiration to do even some things hard to understand of men but wisdom, as Jesus said, is justified by his children. And daily I wait to key into divine program and plan by allowing him to wake me up causing my ear to hear like the learned to speak a word in season to the weary. If I move just because it is expected of me to, I may move into trouble bigger than that which I can bear, but when I wait for the nudge from within I am safe and works in His purpose even if I have to work and walk through fire.
Can you wait for inspiration? It'll surely come. Yes you are full of matter and contrained from within to burst, wait for the right place and time to disburse. Why speak to an audience not ready, didn't Jesus say He had so many things to tell which He couldn't say until the Spirit of inspiration from the Almighty comes? Let them be gathered first,afterwards I shall be called through inspiration to feed the multitude. Then my voice shall be heard at the ends of the earth and in its palaces.
It's a good day. Share this and visit again evansademanuel@blogspot.com Be inspired!

Positive Anger!

Positive Anger! Passion and creativity works together. Inspiration hardly flows outside either anger or joy. Passiveness brings sleep and idles the hands. When the mind isn't challenged, it goes to sleep and drools. When an issue angers you, the sea in the mind rumbles: when mountains rise the bulldozers of the heart roars, man is weak against aggression, he can hardly self-control when provoked, aggression provokes aggression, the pituitary takes no command to pump adrenaline in the face of threat. When I have no sense of fear, I am at rest, prosperity then can be the enemy of greater progress, solutions only respond to problems. Being in agony Jesus prayed more earnestly and man finds it hard to pray until he perceives the need. So problems are motivators, agent of pro-activeness. The mind will wait endlessly till it finds a question to answer. External aggression can be of help, and when it comes it teaches the skill of maintenance and management of status quo. Without them we lose grounds to the enemy and even to friends sometimes without them lifting a finger. But external problems aren't always enough to add new frontiers and set new paces. It takes internal dissatisfaction to move forward. When the body yearns for water, being necessary and inevitable, it searches through speculations until water is found. When a problem explodes within, threatening existence it's time to expand conquered boundaries and move forward. It sometimes looks as if competition brings the best out of us, but not necessarily competing with another but with the possibilities within. When a man discovers what is possible it becomes a problem to the mind, and what is achievable becomes a necessity, from there onwards, he can't live without it. When I get angry by what is possible but not yet, the pituitary lobes respond by pushing adrenaline into my blood stream, to some and sometimes the muscles are triggered to move, but to others the heart pumps the blood to the brain to device a means and wisdom to tackle the trouble. And it never fails. And when it fails, the mind engages the spirit and taps from the omniscient wisdom of the Spirit. It never ever fails. So what angers you? Nothing? Then let what is possible but not yet trigger your angst maybe it can motivate your productivity and performance. One possibility I know is your betterment in what you are called to do. Let that push you into greater performance. Anger management is crucial. I must get tired of getting angry over mundane things and channel my annoyance towards being all I can be. Why should I be angry against another person for what such have said? Rather I'll let my anger push me into better performance. I'll react by dealing with my idleness. Nothing moves until it is moved. The fire in the engine moves it. The fire within us moves us. But does the fire dictate the direction? But our motives and desires channel a course for our passion. Let then the passion be for productivity and not for vanity and the direction of anger be for betterment. Let not your anger lead you to sin, when it can build up why let it destroy? So I lead my anger from now and I won't let it lead. Anger and passion can be good followers but their leadership skill is very much in doubt. They are hot but blind and whenever they lead it is into an accident mostly fatal. I can be provoked into love and love edifies. I can be provoked into doing good and what's better than that. When you have mapped out the source of your provocations you can clearly see what you are wired to change. The purpose of a man may be hidden in his anger. When next you are angry ask yourself why and you won't be far from fulfilling reason. What change can my anger provoke? What length can my passion make me go on the path of righteousness? When I have the answer, then I know where I'm heading. When leadership angers you, inside you is locked up leadership solutions...dig them out and raise better leaders. If poverty angers you, inside of you is laid treasures that would make many rich...search them out. If sufferings anger you, inside of you lies wisdom to bring succor to many. If illiteracy angers you, somewhere in you is the way to bring learning to many. If hunger angers you...I am sure silos are within you to feed the world. So I realize that anger is the treasure within expressing its frustration for lack of exposure. Trace back your anger and you'll find a treasure. Anger is for change, positive change and that's why God left the anger thing in us and we shouldn't abuse it. Anger is for creativity, creativity is change. Let your passion change you status quo, use anger to power your purpose. Use it well and you'll never feel bad again by your anger! Let this make sense and share.

To the Pure!

To the pure!
My thinking is filled with matters and issues bubble up on my mind like boiling viscous mud. I think of the perspectives of men. How we see things. I have heard of the half filled and the half empty cup. It is half filled to one and half empty to another. I read about a country that once was and the particular author who expressed his dilemma in interpreting the logo of the country, was it a rising sun or a setting sun? They both are alike except you were there when and where the picture was taken. But in a picture it's all about the way you see it. Setting sun or rising sun both are same and right when seen from a picture and its interpreted depending on the state of the mind.
The mind process the information the senses bring but never so sincerely, rather it sieves each through preconceptions of past experiences for interpretation. If my mind is pure, even impure things don't look so bad, and if I'm impure, nothing makes good things worse.
So I watch against things that defile. Once I'm contaminated the little leaven leavens the whole lump and the speck in my eyes becloud any other thing in my sight.
Once defiled with failure no idea can work around me, all I see is why it won't work. When defiled with insecurity everyone becomes an enemy and the accolades of true friends become dirge of hypocrisy and only sycophants works their way in. After all the most difficult to wake are either the dead or the pretender, the sincere wakes up as called.  When a mind is defiled by poverty, nothing is ever enough and one would hardly take notice of being stingy. When sin defiles the mind even the most righteous act can bring condemnation; its all about the rising or the setting sun.
So when I see white I must make sure I'm truly seeing white. When I hear a compliment it is better I read no meaning beyond someone's appreciation. When I see evil I should give positive benefit of the doubt. What good is it if I see everyone in a bad light and every comment as being against me? What good is in my seeing error in everything everyone does? Why should I see failure and problems instead of solutions and success? I want to see the sun rising even if it's setting because it'll rise again tomorrow.  I want to see life in the dead because of the reality of resurrection. I want to see good in what everyone does since good supersede evil and all things eventually work out for my good. So I see good in the evil I have no power or authority to change. My faith changes things. I want to be the pure to whom all things are pure and not the defiled to whom nothing is pure. I keep my heart with all diligence, close my eyes to the evil and my ears to the sneers, the scorns and the insults and  listen only to the opinions of my Maker of me, of the people, the places and the events around me. What man judges aright? Except One who knows all things and all hearts before whom we either stand or fall? So I laugh at the judge and take conclusions with a pinch of salt and in good faith, since he's not God his error isn't out of place. But I keep my heart in sincerity and simplicity almost to naivety. I refuse to deceive myself with any sense of personal wisdom, staying at the learning post is best for me. I let the winds and the wings of God carry me to where He deems fit. I've told Him I'm all His and so to me I see all things pure and I try to respond to each as it's creator would...I only try while still being human. Try it!

Marital Passmark

Marital Passmark
It's good to remind ourselves that pass mark in marriage isn't achieved just by marrying a God given wife or husband. Yes, marrying a God given spouse is foundation for a successful life and marriage but it never excludes the obedience required of us towards God concerning day to day living with each other and our children.
Three-fold cord that can't be broken includes the couple and God. Maintaining that relationship with one another and then with God is paramount.  When we despise the relationship with God we open up that empty space for other spirits to occupy or usurp, which was what happened with Adam and Eve, they excluded God and Satan took the space and messed up their generations. We must put God first place in our homes, he must be the head of the family and a permanent resident in the family. He is the Head, Jesus Christ the assistant before the man and his wife...we must give Him and His Son their places and preeminence. His principles and not our cultural preferences should be exalted and daily followed. He should be the one we first report issues to and not our earthly parents, we should maintain oneness just as He is one with His Son, we should live with each other in perfect oneness just as The Father and The Son are one. Just as Jesus Christ is the head of the church husbands must be such a head to their wives. He laid down His life for the church and so must husbands be, He won't ever lay a charge against the church and He would forgive quickly and as incompatible as we are He makes us qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light...we must lear to follow His principles in the way we run our marriages and so we can continue in that spirit that helped us to choose right in the first place. It's good we constantly remind ourselves these things and so strengthen and encourage ourselves in righteousness!

Why This Friday is Good!

Thursday was moody and Friday good and then Easter was made Sunday, the day of the firstfruit of the resurrection.
Why is this Friday good? On that faithful day, Jesus, the Son of God sent into the world to save mankind that has been lost to its Creator was crucified. He was executed not for His own sin but for the sin of the whole world and mankind.
He came into the world as prophesied but not as expected. The Jews expected a physical revolutionary, a warrior who will deliver them from a physical situation, but God had in mind dealing with the spiritual root of our earthly problems instead. He sent One who will confront the ultimate enemy and settle the situation eternally. But that wasn't the expectation and so they wouldn't believe. Their unbelieving triggered hatred and so their princes and priests influencing the Roman governors slew Him.
He was arrested and punished for non existent offenses and was rejected and condemned to death instead of another who was a deserving criminal. But all for a purpose because without the shedding of blood there won't be a remission of sins. And not any blood but uncontaminated blood. Can't be of bulls and of goats but of mankind. Yet mankind's blood has been polluted by the forbidden fruit, it then has to be one unconnected to Adam whose blood must be shed to pay for mankind's sins. That puts God, who has no options than to do it Himself, to make a new body with new blood that won't mix with the blood of mankind already polluted. So make the body and implant it in the womb of a virgin to feed till given birth to. That's why the blood of foetus wasn't designed to mix with that of the mother. So Mary had to carry the new Adam with a new blood clean like that of the lamb of sacrifice. He is the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the whole world. That is the reason for the virgin birth.
And when the time came for the seed of the woman to crush the head of the serpent, the serpent too must bruise His heel. All thay happened till that Friday was the bruises of the serpent and crushing of it's head.
And so He bruises the head of the serpent so hard that He spoilt principalities and powers, making an open shew of them and triumphing over them in it. If they had known the result of the battle that created good Friday they won't have crucified the Lord of glory. They didn't and so they shed His blood that redeemed mankind from their hold, they didn't and so they made of his flesh stripes that healed us and took away the world's sicknesses and diseases. They took chastised Him to bring peace to us, and killed the young lamb for the longevity of mankind, in the process all His earthly possessions were looted and not even a piece of clothing was left on His back, that which couldn't be shredded and shared, lots were cast on to determine who would have it and he was made poor to the point of nakedness, hunger and such thirsts that couldn't find ordinary water but vinegar to quench; He was made poor so that we might be rich. He bore the shame in its height and maximum form so that we can have that glory that 'excelleth'.
He allowed them, and they wondered why, saying 'You saved others why not save yourself?' Physician heal now thyself, they didn't know He was healing us all. It was a matter of course to forgive the people enjoying the show because the whole sacrifice was for forgiveness.
He left them to do whatever they felt they could do, He.was their powerless prey and game they were the triumphant hunters yet the thoughtful amongst them wondered, 'Isn't this the man who did such incredible miracles, proving He was the Son of God?' That curiosity almost killed the cat when they told Him but.you called yourself the Son of God?' He knew what He was doing. But not as a masochist who wouldn't recognise pain or a suicide bomber who took pleasue in unttimely death, He had to endure only for the joy set before Him and was reminded of the throne a few days ahead by the crown of thorns and the inscription upon his cross. He endured and at a point the experience got to Him, afterall He was man too, partaking of man's flesh and body for the reason of that Friday's death. The experience got to Him, the sin He carried got to Him having never sinned, the separation from His Father got to Him, a thing He had never experienced since eternity in the bossom of the Father, He cried out for it, though it was part of the plan from the foundation of the world...'My Father, My Father why hast thou forsaken me?' The Father didn't say a word, He too was experiencing that for the first time but it would still be over. The price for the salvation of this project would soon be paid and He would soon set out to paradise to set free those whose consciences and laws had helped in times past to live for God and wait for their salvation. He would soon lead them triumphantly out of the bondage of paradise to the new tabernacle in heaven to be with Christ on Sunday. So the Father let it be.
And so on it went on that Friday on the tree where He was fulfilling a curse for us all and trading it for the blessing of Abraham through Christ. He was giving birth to the Gentiles and paying for their place in the inheritance and lineage. Cursed is anyone who hung on a tree and so was made a curse for us to bring in the blessing. I can now call Abraham my Father and claim the benefit of the blessing that had been released for every family in the world which the Jew/Gentile dichotomy has kept away since Genesis. So He hung up there waiting and enduring till that very moment of completion. When the old will give way to the newly purchased, when the price would have been paid and credited to the recipient's account, He awaited the alert in the connection of His heart to the heavenly courts of justice and the wait was as if it will be forever. He waited for the moment when the way to the Holy of Holy will be made open to all and sundry, great and small, Levites and laymen, Jews and Gentiles, men and women, young and old, lame or whole, noble or base; a liberty long longed for!
But the moment finally came and the alert sounded like an alarm, this dark Friday has become good as He shouted 'IT IS FINISHED!' The innumerable company of angels waiting since eternity couldn't hold themselves. The battle with a third of them led by the archangel, Lucifer is finally won and his reign over the exalted project of God is finally over. The exchange is done the price is paid and it is finished. Instantly they moved into action, the first point of call was the temple, a horrible testimony of the separation between man and God through that curtain that won't even permit even the innocent air to move from the holy place to the holy of holies and would keep even the highest priest out except for a day in a year and that at a high risk of not coming out; the iron curtain, none of the prophets ever entered in, no king, even the sweet psalmist of Israel, the man after God's heart and the only king who wore the ephod would not ever dare to go near, it was the Holiest of all, lit only by the shekina glory of God. But all that waited till that faithful and good Friday, today in history that changed the world and reunite man with His God. Instantly after the announcement of the Head of all angelic principalities and powers, the angels swooped upon the temple and the curtain as high as it was with man and as thick as it was like a wall was torn from top to bottom and the secret of generatons was laid bare just as the secret of men's heart shall be laid out on the very last day.
With earth shaking visit and their multitudes covering the Sun to cast darkness upon the earth the angelic extraterrestrial aliens stormed the world rejoicing the completion of the second part of this redemptive project that started in the garden.
There the moody Thursday in the garden of Gethsemane was turned to a good Friday of total exchange of man's depravity with the joy of redemption and salvation. And who won't rejoice!
They knew that the sprinkling of the heavenly inner chambers with the freshly shed blood by the new crowned High Priest would now be mere formality, the deed is already done! And the sacrifice is already accepted and the resurrection now becomes compulsory only for the waiting. The Father too waits.
So early Sunday morning He rose in transit but just the first physical part, permitted Mary Magdalene to see but not to touch because the first ascension was yet to happen, He was on His way to sprinkle His own blood as our forerunner in the heavenly Holy of Holies, nobody should touch Him now. But the resurrection is done, the powers against the plan defeated once more, remaining one more time. The Father has released the prepared force to do so by the power of the Holy Spirit, quickening His body and healing off the pains and enduing the flesh no more with blood but with His own glory. The New glorified body has gone on its first exploration, someday everyone will have that and they'll not be limited anymore by the forces of nature, they can then physically travel between the physical and the spiritual through the new improved redeemed and glorified universal indestructible suit. It eventually took its flight with Christ at the final ascension to the right hand of the Father and no power was able to stop Him, all of them having made His footstool. There He waits as our new High Priest after the order of Melchisedec, and endless priesthood for our sake. Now He can save us to the uttermost being ever alive to make intercession for us based on the finished work as we identify and see ourselves in the suffering, death, resurrection, ascension and enthronement of the Christ. It's all for you and I, it isn't for nothing but for love from the heart of the Father to us all through His Son!
Let's join the hosts of heaven this weekend to celebrate and appropriate through faith all that the Father, His Son and His Holy Spirit has done in our redemption.  Happy Easter from the family and yours sincere servant!
It's Good Friday! Good morning!  Share this and keep visiting evansademanuel.blogspot.com and let's know you came!

Faith Talk1

Faith Talk1
I opened up my thinking thing today and I thought of faith and the power we release when we believe. Even if the direction of our faith is in things without any potency yet our faith won't leave us without an effect. Faith is a life and death issue, whatever you believe in either kills or makes you live. The just shall live by faith but what happens to him without it? When I get convinced, I lose control to the object of my faith. The assurance I have enslaves me and it had better been the truth. My faith responds to what I perceive as truth. The truth then must be able to show power and strength because my faith demands I rest unconsciously with the assurance that I'll be sustained. If I believe in a lie, even if the whole word agrees with me, I fall. Though once I believe in the lie I argue in its favor and I 'win' the argument depending on my eloquence and the skills of my competitors. If I win people clap but will my faith pass the test of productivity? Will it sustain in the face of trouble? Yet if I don't believe I wont be established because faith saves from the tossing of the storms of life and the instability earns no one nothing. The world has arrived here because of faith. Many wonder how we got here but it has been by faith. Faith in our inborn abilities. Faith in the purposes of God for us, knowingly or unknowingly, faith in the gifts of God in our lives and what those potentials can accomplish. When we leave off faith we lose the power of mobility and even the smallest of chores becomes an impossibility. Reasons rise to handicap us and only those who believe move on even if physically handicapped. So faith makes up for physical losses. It gives hands where they've been chopped off, it sees with blind eyes and raises from the dead. Faith finds ways and goes on to the fulfilment of great achievements. Faith releases supernatural powers and connects man to omnipotence. With faith and to the believing one nothing is impossible. Faith is the third hand that reaches to the heavens, until it has received the physical hands have nothing to hold. It is the only thing coming from the earth that heaven recognises and honors. Be it prayers,gifts or any other action until it is carried by the hand of faith it goes on and on in futility forever. But heaven cannot ignore faith when it penetrates the spiritual barriers it comes back with what it went there for, never coming empty. When you think of the love of God and the abilities that rests in Him, His willingness to be the best for man and His faithfulness that doesn't lie, the platform for faith operations is built and in the face of these nothing is impossible. Faith is an eye that sees beyond the walls and read beyond thqe reports of man. Faith engages God and His love and strength. Faith employs God to be who he had always wanted to be for mankind. Faith makes man see God in action. Faith is your ticket to the show of God in grace. Grace is God's show and you get in by faith. As big as the riches of God's grace is in it's expanse the key of faith gives access afterall by grace we are saved through faith. Faith grants thoroughfare to the grace and mercy of God. Even if anointed to the teeth and the oil drips catching fire if the carrier refuses to believe in the gift his grace will make no difference. And that is why it's good to listen and learn. What you hear will either kill faith or grow it. the measure with which you listen so also is the measure of faith that comes. Listening not just for the sake of it but to gain understanding and find what makes spiritual sense. When I understand I can then operate, if I'm yet to see it how could I run with it. Running blindly heads to the ditch, understanding gives eyes. When it's clear doing becomes easy. When I know what God's willing to do I stop struggling and rest and when it's time of need comes I tell it to Him to release. My faith becomes important to my prayer life. Or should I say my prayer life is a result of my faith? When faith rises prayer becomes easy and honorable. Why should I struggle with God when what I want is what He wants? Faith is born when I discover what He wants and He will gladly do what His pleasure desires. But I'll struggle and sweat and do all sorts to convince Him if I seek what I want to use on my lusts and not one of His desires. Will I have to convince Him to do His will? Will I have to cajole Him or bribe Him to do what He had always wanted to do? Of course if I need sunshine I'll only need to wait till morrow His faithfulness will sure bring it. Faith then is a matter of course within the passage of God, He makes impossibilities happen in His strides. Has He promised me? I'm sure He'll bring it to pass, I need not harass Him again over that. Life may not give you what you deserve but God will never rob your faith of it's demands. So I rest. I believe and I won't make haste. Does it look like a risk to you? That makes it faith the only difference is that faith makes you see the end result that a risk you take can't tell. Risk works with probabilities faith is the assurance of things not yet seen. Yes, I said I can now rest in assurance, faith brings rest since the work is done by God and I receive the product by faith. But who can wait for that? How long would I have to rest till my turn comes? Some friend said 'I have faith but I'll take drugs which works faster'. Baby talk in deed. Patience is proof of faith. If I'm sure of it I'll wait for it. If I'm sure of the love that in which I trust then I'm sure it won't fail me. Timing isn't in my control, I'd believed I'd received when I prayed and why won't I, but I'm only told that I shall receive and that means later even if a second away and if I believe the speaker I will wait and it won't tarry to my shame. He's got everything figured out between when I first believed and when my redemption is complete. But what if my request is terminal with a deadline? I'll still wait because I know the One I believe is in the know...He's got it all figured out. The longer the more amazing. Will you believe...have faith and move these mountains! Goodday!
