Did you ever consider that if sin weren’t so alluring and enticing, people most likely wouldn’t sin? It’s the allure that entraps people. But, God has already planned ahead for us to be able to resist the “sin” temptation.

Yes, we’re all tempted to sin in one way or another. It’s the result of the curse in the earth. However, anything that God requires of us, He has already made a way for us to be able to do it. That’s because He is righteous and holy and only does what is right. Remember, He loves us with an everlasting love and that Love has provided everything we’ll every need on planet earth. Praise the Lord of glory!

Let’s look at I Peter 1:5:

1 Peter 1:5 (KJV) ⁵  Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

The word kept means to guard, preserve, protect. And notice that we are kept by the power of God through faith. It seems that everywhere we turn, we have to use our faith. It’s not just knowing the scripture that will keep you. You have to believe it and walk in it by faith. Everything we do, we must do by faith because everything works by faith and that’s how we please God. That’s how we enter into His promises.

So, if it’s not working for you, check up on your faith level.

Next, let’s look at Ephesians 3:20:

 Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) ²⁰  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Not only does God promise to keep us, but it is according to the power that works in us. That power is the dunamis power of God—the miraculous, explosive power of Almighty God. That should say it all! But, how much of that power is working in you? The way to assess it is according to how much Word is working in you. How much faith in God’s Word is developed in you? That’s the indicator of how much power is working in you.

The good news is that we determine how much power we have operating in us by how much active Word is in us. Then, using our faith, we can access that power and be the victorious blessings that God has called us to be.

We are well-able to resist temptation because we have self-control in our reborn spirits. Temperance is self-control. But, even though we have self-control in us, we still have to yield to it or it’s of no effect. Remember, God has already done His part. He’s already provided everything we’ll ever need and also the way to do it. But, as you know, we have our part to do. If we don’t do our part, it won’t get done.

So, you see, you are the one who determines whether or not you yield to sin or to the fruit of your reborn spirit. You can do it. Go for it and walk in victory!

Galatians 5:22-24 (KJV) ²²  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
²³  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
²⁴  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Galatians 5:22-23 (AMP) ²²  But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness,
²³  Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].

James 1:3-4 (KJV) ³  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
⁴  But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) ¹³  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV) ⁸  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
⁹  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

How many times have we wanted to do something but fear stopped us? It could be going on a trip/vacation, buying a new house, buying a pet, or any other multitude of things that we have avoided because of fear of things not going right.

Fear of a pet dying can block your even considering getting one because you can‘t deal with losing your sweet pet.

Fear of not being able to afford the upkeep of a house can prevent you from getting your dream house.

Fear of losing your friends can keep you from reaching out to even make friends.

Then there are those who have really gone overboard and won’t even leave the house, except for basic essentials, because of fear of an accident.

This is not the way God intended us to live a life worth living. Let’s look at His Word and see what He has to say about this.

Hebrews 2:14-15 (KJV) ¹⁴  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
¹⁵  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Notice that fear of death causes a lifetime of bondage. People who are afraid of dying, which many are, have limited themselves in being able to do what God has called them to do. This fear is not from Him but from the devil whose mission is to take you out, one way or another. If he can’t kill you, he will try to keep you from enjoying the very life that God has for you to live.

Jesus said that the enemy, the devil, is out to steal, kill, and destroy but He came to give us abundant life that overflows!   

John 10:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

John 10:10 (AMP) ¹⁰  The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

Fear of dying is not only about you dying but also has within itself fear of losing something. Fear is fear any way you cut it and it’s evil and demonic. It kept the Israelites out of the Promised Land for forty years when it was only about an eleven day journey. But, instead, they wandered around for forty years because of fear. God had told them that the land was theirs but they didn’t mix faith with His Word and let fear rob them of His promise. We need to learn from their mistake and not let fear rob us of our Promised Land!

Faith and fear are opposites. Faith opens the door for God to move in our lives. Likewise, fear opens the door for the devil to wreak havoc in our lives, causing us to miss out on God’s best for us. And, another thing about fear is that it actually draws to you the very thing that you’re afraid of. This ought not to be.

As born-again Christians, we have Almighty God on our side, Who has provided everything we’ll ever need to be victorious in this life. But, we have to appropriate His promises because they don’t just work automatically. Everything works by faith because that’s the only way to please God and to access His promises.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) ⁶  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
2 Peter 1:3 (KJV) ³  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Time after time, God tells us to “fear not” but to trust Him in all we do. Fear, if left unchecked, will paralyze you to the point that you won’t even be able to hear from God.

John 14:1 (KJV) ¹  Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

John 14:1 (AMP) ¹  DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.

John 14:27 (KJV) ²⁷  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27 (AMP) ²⁷  Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

God’s Word tells us to resist the devil and he will flee. That’s what we must do with fear—resist it and tell it to flee. Resist means to actively fight against it. It takes effort but it will work if we persevere. It’s God’s Word and His Word, spoken in faith, always works!

James 4:7 (KJV) ⁷  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV) ⁸  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
⁹  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

2 Peter 1:5-8 (KJV)
⁵  And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
⁶  And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
⁷  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
⁸  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 If these things be in you…you shall abound and be fruitful. So, what are the things Peter is referring to? Back up and let’s look at the things he says we are to add to our faith: virtue, knowledge (of the Word of God), temperance (self-control), patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and of course, love.

 He starts with faith, adds to it, and ends with love. This is significant because faith works by love (Gal. 5:6). And, as you know, these attributes are also listed in I Corinthians 13:4-8.

 So, how does walking in these attributes cause us to abound and be fruitful in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ? Simply, that knowledge of His word (He is the Word) and acting on that knowledge, causes our faith to grow and faith is what pleases God. Isn’t that our whole goal—to please God?

 Walking in these attributes is really quite simple because we already have them in our re-born spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. But, we need to yield to these fruits. You can’t pray and ask God to give them to you because he already has. However, they don’t automatically manifest just because you get born-again. You have to on purpose yield to them. It’s similar to yielding to other cars when entering a highway from and on ramp. You give them the right of way.

 For example, instead of flying off the handle, stop and say, “I yield to self-control and the love of God that’s in me.” Then you get out of the way and let self-control and love come forth. But if you don’t, on purpose, yield to these fruits, they won’t automatically come forth. It’s like God’s Word. Even though it’s for all of us, if you don’t, on purpose, apply it to your life, you won’t benefit from His promises.

 Let’s make every effort to yield to the fruit of our spirits and be fruitful Christians, abounding in every good work.

Galatians 5:6b (KJV) ⁶  … but faith which worketh by love.

Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) ²²  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³  Meekness, temperance:

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (KJV) ⁴  Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,⁵  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; ⁶  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; ⁷  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. ⁸  Charity never faileth:

God sent His Word to us so that we can have and enjoy this life on planet earth. He wasn’t trying to fill the pages of the Bible. His Word is important, paramount, creative. It’s our very life if we’ll do what He has said to do.

Many Christians pray and pray and never see their desired results. Why is that? For sure, it’s not because God’s Word doesn’t work. His Word is filled with enough power to cause it to come to pass. It’s got His DNA in it! And it isn’t just for information. Every Word of His has explosive, creative power in it. So why doesn’t it seem to work every time?

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
¹¹  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

 First of all, God’s Word works every time it’s prayed in faith and received. So let’s start there. If you’ve been praying about a certain situation and not seeming to get your results, who’s at fault? Good question.

Many people blame God for their prayers not getting answered when, in fact, it’s not His fault at all. His Word works every time it’s prayed in faith and received. And therein lies the key to why your prayers aren’t getting answered. The culprit’s been found and it’s you! How ‘bout that!

Let’s back up and analyze what is happening.

Proverbs 4:20-23 (KJV)
²⁰  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
²¹  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
²²  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
²³  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

We see here in Proverbs that we are commanded to attend to God’s Word because they are life and health to us. Is that what you’re doing—attending to God’s Word—putting it first place in your life?

Attend means to pay attention. It comes from the Latin word meaning to stretch toward something. That’s what we’re to do with the Word—pay attention to it, stretch toward it and then embrace it with our whole heart.

Jeremiah 29:13 (KJV)
¹³  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Do you have a love of the truth? God’s Word is truth. It’s the only truth that will actually set you free if you walk in it. And it’s the only way you’ll get your prayers answered. It’s only by God’s Word that we see victory in our lives. It’s not the world’s ways because they’re tainted with the devil’s input and meant to steal, kill, and destroy us. However, God’s Word always trumps the devils tactics.

Having a love of the truth necessitates having a love of God’s Word. The two go hand in hand because God and His Word are ONE! Even Job honored God’s Word more than the food he ate! (Wouldn’t that be a good diet plan!)

Job 23:12 (KJV)
¹²  Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

We honor God by honoring His Word and walking in it. And when we honor Him, He said He will honor us. Wow, Almighty God said He will honor us! How awesome!

1 Samuel 2:30b (KJV) ³⁰  … for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

 Let’s get back to reverencing and honoring God’s Word and doing it with all our heart. Then we’ll set ourselves up for receiving the great and mighty promises that He has given us!

John 8:31-32 (KJV)
³¹  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
³²  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

— Pamela

What? How can I say that? Because many people are doing just that—attributing the devil’s works to God, as if He is the One who is actually doing it or has done it. This is wrong.

So, what kinds of things do people attribute to God that are not His doing? And, as I always say, let’s go to God’s Word and find out what He has to say about this.

First of all, God is not a liar—He can’t lie even if He wanted to because every Word He speaks comes to pass.

Numbers 23:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) ¹¹  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

So, why do people attribute calamities and misfortunes to God, thinking that He has some redemptive purpose in their suffering? Not so. The devil is the one who is out to steal, kill, and destroy you and everything you have and love. But, Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly.

John 10:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Whose report will you believe? Will you believe that Almighty God, the One Who actually is LOVE and truly loves us with an everlasting love, is the One Who causes hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, accidents, etc.? No, no, no!!!

God is not punishing us for anything, His judgment has not been unleashed yet, as long as the earth lease is still in effect. We are living in the dispensation of GRACE—God’s unmerited favor that He chooses to extend to us, His willingness to use His power on our behalf to cause us to be victorious in every area of life.

Remember, God is the One Who gave His all—the Lord Jesus—so that we could be forever with Him. This is not a God who would turn around and then cause calamities in our lives.

Yes, the world is out of control because of sin. The whole world is cursed because of sin. And that won’t change until Jesus comes back. But—

We, as born-again, Spirit-filled believers, are not under the curse. We’ve been redeemed from the curse of the Law and have been given a mandate from God to take dominion over the whole earth and bring it into submission to His plans and purposes. Granted, we have not totally succeeded in this yet but we’re on the right path.

Galatians 3:13-14 (KJV) ¹³  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
¹⁴  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith

Genesis 1:28 (KJV) ²⁸  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Another thing I want to point out is that there is a big difference between what happened in the Old Testament and what occurred in the New Testament. Jesus came to redeem us from the curse of the Law and all that it entailed. We are no longer under that Covenant but under a New Covenant, build upon better promises and ratified in the precious Blood of the Lord Jesus.

God is looking out for us in that He has already provided everything we’ll ever need to be successful and victorious on planet earth. Our part is to find out what we are to do and to do it. God’s Word doesn’t automatically come to pass in our lives without our participation. We have our part and God has His part. We can’t do His part and He won’t do our part. That’s the way it is.

So, if God’s Word doesn’t seem to be working in your life, you need to find out where you’re missing it and start doing your part. Then you will be able to say that you indeed see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!

How many times have you heard that the truth will set you free. I’ve even heard it said on secular TV programs! People quote it all the time and I wonder how many really know what it means. Do you know what it means? Let me explain what I believe Jesus meant when He said it in John 8:32. Let’s start with verse 31:

John 8:31-32 (KJV) ³¹  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
³²  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

If you’ll notice, Jesus says that if you continue in His Word, then you shall know the truth that sets you free. What does He mean by continuing in His Word? Continue means to persist in a thing, to endure. But I like to say it this way: it means to hang in there no matter what!

To continue in God’s Word means that you value and honor it. It’s not just something you read once and then go on your way. Or something you hear in a Sunday morning service. You don’t give up on His Word when your prayers seem to go unanswered. You’re in it for the long haul!

God’s Word is everlasting and for all times. It’s the Word that has gone forth from His mouth to provide everything you’ll ever need in this life and for all eternity. It’s the very necessity that will put you over in this life and give you the victory in every situation, if you’ll continue in it.

Truth is not just something that’s true. There are a lot of facts out there but only one TRUTH and that’s the Word of God. It’s the only TRUTH that never fails and is backed up by Almighty God Himself. Why would anyone want to put their trust in something that’s going to decay and fade away?

And it’s not just knowing the truth of God’s Word but actually walking in it. Yes, we need to believe His Word but in order for it to operate in our lives, we have to walk in it and make it part of everything we do. Then we will know His TRUTH and that TRUTH will indeed set us free!

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) ¹¹  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

John 8:31-32 (KJV) ³¹  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
³²  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

— Pamela

God forgives our past, knows our present and future, and has so gloriously provided everything we’ll ever need to be successful and victorious. What’s not to like!

However, we’ve really short changed God’s goodness in that we live our lives, for the most part, trying to survive on our own, getting through this life as unscathed as we can. That’s not how God intended for us to live. He has good plans for us:

Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) ¹¹  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
We are sons and daughters –bought with the precious blood of His dear Son—our Lord Jesus! We are children of the Most High God, the Creator of Heaven and earth. We are His representatives on this earth—ambassadors sent to show forth God’s goodness, which leads people to repentance.

Romans 2:4b (KJV) ⁴  … not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

If the only thing people ever see are defeated, beaten down saints, why would they want what we have? They already have that. We need to start walking in what we say we believe. We need to actually live what we profess. We need to have corresponding actions to the faith that we profess. Then the world will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, manifested right before their eyes, and it will draw them to seek our mighty God and become true follows of Jesus Christ–victorious in every area of life.

James 2:20 (KJV) ²⁰  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:17 (AMP) ¹⁷  So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).

— Pamela 

If you ask any Christian about whether or not they believe God’s Word, the answer would be yes. That’s because God’s Word is the very foundation upon which our faith is based. That’s good and as it should be. But—

What happens when you pray and pray about something and it doesn’t turn out the way you wanted? Do you still believe God’s Word or do you “edit” it to agree with your experience? This is wrong!

God’s Word isn’t based on your experience not does it depend on what you experience. God’s Word is the incorruptible Word of Almighty God and is forever settled in Heaven. It has stood the test of time and will forever be true—throughout all eternity.

Too many times people (Christians included) have based what they believe on their experience. This is contrary to the Word of God and will never get you the desired results. Nowhere in the Bible does God tell us to “go by our experience.” That would be disastrous because that’s the arena of the devil—the carnal world, the flesh, the physical conditions.

God moves in the spirit realm and that’s where born-again, Spirit-filled believers are supposed to move. We have the Holy Spirit residing in us Who leads and guides us. Our part is to listen and obey. God said that if we are willing and obedient we shall eat the good of the land (Isaiah 1:12). Who doesn’t want that!

God isn’t moved by our experience. His Word is true and He backs it up totally. We should have that same mind set: that we believe and stand on God’s Word no matter what our experience happens to be. We aren’t perfect and miss it more times than we care to admit. God never misses it. Which testimony should you believe?

Remember, God is faithful, faithful, faithful. If things didn’t work out the way you anticipated, continue to believe God’s incorruptible word and let Him keep you in perfect peace.

Isaiah 1:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

Psalm 119:89 (KJV) ⁸⁹  For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

John 14:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 16:13 (KJV) ¹³  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
1 John 2:20 (KJV) ²⁰  But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

— Pamela

Feelings – just what are they and what should we do with them? That’s a good question because we all have to deal with feelings on a daily basis. So, let’s delve into the nitty-gritty of feelings and emotions.

What are feelings? What are emotions? Are they the same and what should we do about them?

Emotions, as you know, are very real – love, joy, peace, even hatred. Feelings seem to be the response we give to the emotions we feel. Nevertheless, it’s has to do with how we act or react in any given situation.

And just how should we act or react in any given situation? Good question. And the answer is to do what God says to do. That way you’ll always be doing the right thing and the right thing always works. More about that later.

So, what’s wrong with just “letting it all out or venting?” What’s wrong with letting your emotions do whatever they want to do? Plenty! Because—emotions and feelings are supposed to be the caboose, not the engine. And that’s where many (and I would even venture to say, most) people go wrong. They let their emotions lead them instead of reigning them in and responding in a godly manner.

Letting your emotions lead and direct you will not solve your problem nor will it pacify the situation. The wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God (James 1:20).

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would lead and guide us into all truth—not our emotions or feelings. But, you might say, I’m just so angry, sad, upset, etc. I just have to let it out! Do you? Why? That’s not staying in control—that’s out of control and will get you nowhere.

So, what do you do? Glad you asked. You go to God’s Word and do what He says. If you’re tempted to get angry, yield to the peace of God that’s already in your re-born spirit. Jesus told us to let the peace of God rule in our hearts (John 14:27).

Are you fearful? Let the love of God cast out all fear. And what if you’re sad or heartbroken? Yield to the love of God and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. He’s the only One Who can truly comfort you.

Let’s take control of our emotions and do things God’s way. Then we can walk in peace and make good, quality decisions from a godly point of view.

 John 16:13 (KJV) ¹³  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

John 14:27 (KJV) ²⁷  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

1 John 4:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1 John 4:18 (KJV) ¹⁸  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

John 16:7 (KJV) ⁷  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

— Pamela

So, you’ve prayed and prayed and waited and waited but still no manifestation of answered prayer. What do you do? Or rather, what should you do?

First of all, don’t quit! That’s a sure-fire way to never get your answer. Maybe you’ve been praying for a long, long time about a certain situation and things just don’t seem to be getting better. Still, the key is to NOT QUIT! Keep on believing.

Remember, God looks at the heart—not at the results. It’s faith that pleases Him and regardless of whether or not you ever see manifestation of what you’ve been praying about, keep walking by faith and believing for the manifestation. That’s what pleases God and He’s the One who counts. He’s the One we want to please.

Of course, we all want manifestation of answered prayer. That’s the whole reason we’re praying about it in the first place. But many times, our time table is not set by us. We always want instant everything and rightly so. But it doesn’t always happen that way. That’s where our faith has to be strong and fixed on God’s promises. His Word always works in spite of what we think.

Standing on God’s Word is the best place to be and the only way to receive the answer to our prayers. He said His Word would not return to Him void without accomplishing what He sent it forth to do. Our part is to believe and receive and continue standing until we see manifestation of what we have prayed about.

Unfortunately, many people blame God when they don’t get the answer they want. It’s never God Who’s at fault. His Word always works but we have to work the Word. We have our part to do. God won’t do our part and we can’t do His part. But, working together, we can get the job done!

Keeping walking by faith and see the glory of God right before your eyes!

1 Samuel 16:7b (KJV) ⁷  … for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV) ⁷  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) ¹¹  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Numbers 23:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) ²⁰  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
