Love you all, praying for you,
Are you asking God for something? Keep asking. Are you believing God for something? Keep believing. Do you need a miracle? Or just strength or wisdom or encouragement? Whether provision of some kind, or a complete change in your heart or mind – your character or DNA - that you so desperately need and it seems would be impossible… keep asking. Luke 18 – Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually wear me out with her coming!” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? God says – Keep Asking. Not keep asking – cause you’re doubting. Not keep asking, cause you’re complaining. Not keep asking, cause He might forget – He won’t. God is looking for faith – faith that believes, and faith that obeys. That's what faith is - believing and obeying (which proves the believing). Pray – believing that you will see it! And Pray – obeying fully in the meantime, in the waiting. When the Angel God sent - appeared to Daniel after 21 days – He said “…Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. (He was just delayed due to an enemy spirit that opposed him.) God is nothing like the unjust judge – He hears, He loves, He saves, He delivers. Make sure you are praying for what His heart is – what He directs you to pray – not for any selfish desires, that you would not ask amiss. But when you pray – what He leads you to pray – ask in faith, believing, and keep asking. You will see His answer, He will come through. Not in your time – that might have been yesterday, but in His time, the best time, the fullness of time. Ask Him if there is any faith of obeying still needed from you. Ask Him to stir your faith to believe – and keep asking. Whether for you, and the needs of your heart – or the needs of others – that you are standing with, interceding for, and believing for. Praying that you will keep asking. Your Deliverer is coming – your Help is helping you, your Support is supporting you. Praying that in your PiVAT Prayer List time (the prayers that God wants you to pray) – you would always begin by asking God - what’s on His heart? When you pray – when you keep asking, you could be asking for things that you desire, things for someone else – that they desire, but always begin by asking God what He desires? What’s on His heart today? and Holy Spirit – would you help me to pray. Start by praying in the Spirit – His perfect will – and the Holy Spirit will lead you to pray in the understanding. If the unrighteous judge will eventually answer – how much more will your loving Heavenly Father – give you the prayers to pray – and answer you and not delay. You can pray believing – because He is believable! You can pray believing because His Word is true, you can keep asking because He is faithful! He’s not ignoring you – He’s growing you! He’s answering already – He’s working where you don’t see yet, He’s fighting battles you don’t even know. He’s bringing victory in every way. Just keep asking, and keep believing, and you will keep seeing. It’s how faith becomes sight! Love you all, dad
