Persevering in Persistent and Patient Prayer…one of the most overlooked gifts that we have. The ability to be able to come and ask God the Father for things, and based on His will, we may receive the very things that we prayed for. With that, you have to put in the work and pray persistently, faithfully, and be patient and wait for God’s answer. And again, based on His will and His perfect timing, will determine if you receive what you are praying for.
Trusting in God’s Will
Will you be bugging God for asking for the same thing over and over? Absolutely not, BUT when He says no, He means NO! Therefore, you have to be in tune with Him and His Spirit so you can hear clearly as to what His answer is. Don’t just go out and do it anyways or continue to seek the things that He tells you NO to, that could lead to problems and could lead to sin and besides, in a sense you would be denying God and what He wants for you. You have to be lining up with His will first of all, He is not just going to give you something just because you have asked.
The Example of a Parent and Child
Put it this way, you wouldn’t give your child something just be cause they asked, would you? Depends on the circumstance and if you felt that it was a good thing for them to have or not. It is the same with The Father and us, He is not going to just give us any and everything. He wants good for us, and some things aren’t going to do us ANY good so therefore sometimes the answer the answer will be no!
Does God Hear Our Prayers?
“Does God even hear me when we pray? I don’t see anything happening” . God’s timing is perfect, He is patient and it is something that we have no control over, but His promises are true. Look at the Israelites that were trapped in bondage for years before receiving the promise. They definitely had to be patiently praying, with FAITH, to make it out of Egypt’s captivity, but it was well worth it!
Encouragement to Keep Praying
“Don’t give up on praying!” We can point to a few scriptures and parables on this right off the top. Luke 11:5-13 and Luke 18:1-7 are great examples that our Lord Jesus uses to open our minds on being persistent. In the first, the parable of the friend that came knocking on his friends door in the middle of the night for some loaves, while the one friend’s children were sleeping, he is still going to get up and give it to him because he is his true friend and most of all because the friend is persistent in asking.
God’s Promise When You Ask
Luke 11:9-13 expounds on how if you ask, be it you are in the Father’s will, you shall receive, and it will be good.
God’s Response to Persistent Prayer
Luke 18:1-7 is the parable of the widow woman and the unjust judge where the judge, a non-believer and self righteous man, with NO respect for God, was pestered and pulled so much by the widow woman who wanted him to avenge her of her adversary. She was so persistent in asking, that it got on the judges nerves until he went ahead and did what she asked. Just think about it, this man who did not fear God and wasn’t a fair man, went ahead and gave her what she asked for…how much more do you think our amazing Father in Heaven would be to give US what we ask for?!
Trusting God’s Plan
We can’t get weary in doing good OR in praying…flat out! It actually shows respect and love for God and trusting Him instead of ourselves. Pray in faith and expect to receive, IF it’s lined up with God’s will! Don’t stop praying until you get an answer and remember, If He just gave us everything we asked for, it would be a HUGE problem because we wouldn’t know how to act, it may not even be the time for us to have it (so be patient), OR it just isn’t for us! All in all, we serve a Mighty and Awesome God who loves us more than we could ever imagine and He wants whats best for us…TRUST GOD!!!
Sumthin 4 U to chew on: 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Luke 11:5-13 Luke 18:1-8
🙏🏾📚 ✝️ Gettin this lil study time in and it was on how we become captive, blinded by Satan, and how Jesus came to heal, deliver us from captivity, and restore our spiritual sight and destroy the works of the devil. During this time, it’s important not only to the believer, but especially to the new in Christ, AND the non-believers to keep ya eyes open to wolves in sheep’s clothing and false teachers speaking false doctrine. Alot of folks trying to find some relief in this pandemic, which is good that they are seeking God, but be careful. Not only is all these cats comin up wit all these conspiracies and whatnot, you also got the prosperity and “good feeling” teachers with a spotlight that will lead you right into or keep you in captivity.. Which will lead you to eternal damnation… Listen to what they saying.. are they telling truth, speaking Christ? or just telling you something that makes you feel good so you want to come back? And truth is, alot of em want you to come back to fatten they wallet while they keep feeding you false doctrine and who knows what alterior motives “lie” behind their masks 🐺 … You need a word that’s gonna convict you, correct you and make you WANT to turn and do right, a word that’s gone make you repent and turn from your foul ways and grow spiritually… Sound Doctrine.. That’s the kind of word you need to be seeking (so thankful for my Pastor, and my brothers in Christ that I’m tapped in wit💪🏾) Most importantly, you should be getting the word straight from the source! Spend some time in study and seek Him 1 on 1..dive into His word and get closer and get the real comfort and strength and Love as the word is revealed to you. God is so amazing, He gave us so many instructions and a blueprint on how to navigate thru this thang called life… Its just up to us to trust, seek, and believe…nobody’s perfect and it ain’t too late till its too late ya dig.. Took me a minute to get it, but glad I got it! His word don’t come back void fam! Be CAREFUL, STAY SAFE, and GOD BLESS! 💯 #GodzSoldier#brisko#fromsaul2paul#abouthisbiznezz#illuminatetheworld#trustandbelieve#Hisword#Hiswill#justavessel#thankYouLord

2 Corinthians 4:4 Colossians 2:8 Luke 4:18-21 1 John 3:8 Matthew 7:15 Acts 20 Matthew 16:6-12 Phillipians 3:3, 18-20 Romans 16:17 2 Peter 2:1-2
Our Father in Heaven is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, EVERYTHING is made by Him and for His glory. Nothing or nobody is greater than the Great I AM…spiritually or physically, and one thing is for sure, He does NOT want us to perish eternally in Hell. His will is for us ALL to get in right standing with Him, through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Through Jesus is the only way! We have broken our relationship with God since the beginning of time by doing the thing that He hates, can’t stand, and does not allow in His kingdom…sin! He has given and showed mercy on us time and time again because He loves us. (That don’t mean to wear it out tho! 🤦🏾♂️ )
We were born in sin, and it is not something someone taught us to do, it’s just natural because it’s in us already. That does not mean that it is a lost cause, we have to repent on the daily, and come to Christ to wash us clean…DAILY! Tomorrow ain’t promised, so don’t put it off and say “oh, I can wait”, you never know when it’s that time to go.
God gave us a way to reunite and reconcile our relationship with Him, and that was through Him sending His Son to sacrifice and die for us on the cross. He had NO sin and no blemishes, so he took on our sin, even before we were here, so that we can have a way back to God for eternity. Only thing is, it’s not an automatic “pass”. We have to acknowledge it, have faith in, trust and accept the salvation that Jesus Christ brings and that He is our Lord and Savior. Will we still sin? Most definitely, every day matter of fact, might not even be on purpose (sinful thoughts, lusting of the eyes, sinful actions, sinful speaking, etc.) we will falter, it’s just our nature. BUT, He is there to forgive us if we come with a repentant heart and ask Him for forgiveness.
In these days and times, it’s a must to get our souls right and our relationship with God in order. He is calling us, are you not picking up the line? When you want or need something, you sure blowing His line up, so why you sending Him to voicemail? Time to pick up the line and have a nice conversation with the Father, start by repenting, asking for forgiveness, and accepting His Son and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, let Him make you a new creation and start walking in salvation…Get Reconciled!
We all know money is a necessity and can provide many things. However, our Father who is in Heaven can and will provide if you depend on Him! The word of God says clearly in Matthew 6:24 that we are not to serve both God and mammon, meaning the worshiping and coveting of money. The distraction from chasing money instead of chasing God, can and will lead to disaster eternally. The lust for the things money can bring can really get out of control and turn you into an entire different person if you are not careful. It’s just that serious. Folks are killing and dying behind the greed of money and its sometimes wicked fruit on the daily, and it’s not going to come to an end any time soon.
1 Timothy 6:9-10 “9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” These verses are pretty much self explanatory and should not be overlooked or shunned upon. I myself have done many foolish things trying to “get to the paper” or “chasin cheddar”. Things I am not proud of, and things that when I sit back and think, I wonder how I could participate in or even begin to think on doing the things I did for the money. I am truly grateful for His tender love, grace and mercy and that He didn’t allow the enemy to take me out in those times when I was stuck in bondage and trapped in a life of recklessness and working full time for the enemy. Thank you Lord.
Money can truly be evil if it is not used the correct way. We are not supposed to covet our possessions and money, but we are supposed to give when we can and when led by the spirit. WE CANT TAKE IT WITH US WHEN WE GO so what’s the purpose of hoarding it? Store our treasures in Heaven and not on this Earth where it will mean nothing and where it will perish. Seek righteousness so that we will inherit the Kingdom of God and His riches and glory that is waiting on those who Fight the Good Fight of the Faith. It is a long distance race that we must endure to stay on the correct path until we see the finish line and the face of Jesus.
The Lord will provide for us what we need in order to survive. If he provides for the birds, provides resources for plants to grow, why do we think that us, an image created in His likeness, that He would not take care of Us? His word says He will, and His word does NOT come back void!
Luke 12:16-21, is the parable of the rich fool. He had accumulated so much, that he decided he was going to pull down his barns, build bigger, and store his goods for years and be set. Even going as to say he was going to kick back and eat, drink and be merry. Little did he know that God would be telling him that he would be taking his life that night and that yeh, you had alot of Earthly wealth, but you didn’t have a wealthy relationship with God.
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Don’t get me wrong, being wealthy is not a bad thing at all, but it can be dangerous if not taken care of the correct way. One can become arrogant, get to thinking they are better and smarter than others, and just completely forget that if it were not allowed and provisioned by God Himself, they would NOT have the wealth that they do, and most of all, their wealth here on earth does NOT compare to wealth in Heaven, flat out! Use your money wisely, use it for taking care of your family and necessities, and seek the Spirit on how to use it for God’s purpose here on Earth. If you have in the past or are now coveting, worshiping, or putting money before God, repent and ask for His forgiveness and that He washes you clean. Turn from the lust and deceit that money brings. Nobody is perfect, and thankfully, He gives us a chance to come clean with Him. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, so take that step and make it happen! God bless you

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.”

Somethin to chew on! 🍽 🍲 👇🏾 Luke 12:16-21 1 Timothy 6:9-10 Matthew 6:19-24
Dr Myles Munroe illustration over this topic below for you to check out!👇🏾
I first started fasting with our church 5yrs ago and it has become a very important part of my life since I started. Matter of fact, we are on a 21 day fast right now! Fruits, veggies, water and juice for 21 days, not to mention staying in prayer and seeking the Lord more frequently. The juice will be taken away on the 2nd week and it will be water from then on out. I am very thankful for the Lord leading me to a church that takes part in a corporate fast annually. Yes it can get rough at times, but it is a sacrifice that allows you to seek God on a more intimate level while avoiding certain fleshly desires, distractions, noise and wants. I see it as a spiritual and physical cleansing and a living sacrifice to the Lord. Denying the flesh to gain from the spirit.
Fasting is not only fasting of certain foods, or all food, but it also includes fasting from “things” that you “depend” on in your everyday living (social media, video games, TV, cellphones, etc.) By fasting and pushing these things to the side, and instead, choosing to pick up the Word of God, spending time with Him, praying, meditating, calling on His spirit, it is this that pleases God and allows us to truly reconnect and recharge our relationship with Him.
I’ve seen Him move on my behalf and on others during times of fasting and praying, and I not only fast with the church, but I fast at different times when the Spirit tells me to, or when I feel like I need to slow down, regroup, and rededicate myself to Him.
One thing I’ve learned from Isaiah 58 is that while we are fasting and expecting to receive from God, we need to be giving to others in some kind of way, and this is a very important part of your fast. BE a blessing!
The late Dr. Myles Munroe has a few things to say about fasting and its worth taking time to check it out below. God bless!
Christ paid the price for our penalty of sin, that we may be able to break the patterns and Power of sin, so that we can claim Victory and be propelled into our purpose. By and through daily picking up our cross, choosing to follow Him, seeking Him with repentance cuz we are bound to sin, obedience and truly believing, trusting and receiving Christ death burial and resurrection and that He is our Lord and Savior, being born again, putting away the old man and putting on the new, then and only then, will we be given the promise of eternal life in paradise with Him. Aint no other way but thru Christ❗🙏🏾👑 #thankyouLord #graceandmercy #Hispromise #GodzSoldier #KingJesus
The reason why I spelled the title in all caps is because faith is one of the most important aspects of our relationship with God. How big is your faith? How little is your faith? Should we be praying to strengthen our faith? Absolutely. We need to pray daily and ask God to strengthen us in that area so that we can truly please Him.
With so many distractions, so much of the world in our face, ears, and mind everyday, we most definitely better be praying for strength in our faith ya dig. Not only that, we need to be asking for peace from the Spirit and for a desire and hunger for God’s word, His love, and His ways. When it comes to the storm, the enemy will try to tell you that it’s a done deal and you might as well chalk it up as a loss, but with faith as small as a mustard seed, you can trust and believe that God will pull you thru and it shall come to pass. We serve a mighty God! You gotta have that faith though to get things moving in the spirit realm.
His word tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen. We trust and believe in God and Jesus as our savior, but we have not seen Him. It is something that we encounter once we get saved, or maybe it IS the actual encounter that GOT you saved in the first place when you find out and KNOW He is real! Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God! Through grace we are saved through faith, not by ourselves, it is the gift of God. By having faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior is the only way we gain eternal life. We need to be praying for that Abraham faith, standing on that faith, and trusting that faith. Then and only then, are we justified and made right with God and He can consider and declare us to be righteous and in a right relationship with Him. There are so many in the Bible that showed what faith is all about and they are no different than us. We too can stand on that same faith.
FAITH IS 🗝!!!
