FAITH CAPSULE: Prayer does not fail to get God.
Prayer is seeking God.
Seeking God is not seeking Him in anyhow but by His way.
Acts 6:4 records we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.
Prayer never fails to open the door.
Pray before God always with an answer, and know that prayer before God is not rooted in forcing God to answer as one pleases.
God answers with YES, WAIT, or NO.
Do you know better than your creator?
God is God the unchanging changer, and God alone reverses the irreversible.
PRAYER
Pray against the force that hinders prayer.
Daniel 10:13 records the testimony of Daniel, “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.”
Ask that every representative of the kings of Persia shall be terminated not to be a force against your prayer this hour in the name of Jesus.
LOOK UP TO GOD, NOT TO THE WORTHLESS
In the delay of your expectation to become manifested, turning away from God shall not have a place in your life.
Why not pray that God enables you to turn to Him in all your expectations, keeping your eyes on Him?
Whatever one looks up to, turning eyes beside God, is identified as worthless.
The Psalmist prayed against looking at worthlessness.
Psalm 119:37 records, “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.”
God reverses the irreversible.
He shall revive you.
Ask that the goodness and mercy of God begin to answer over your life, not to look at worthless things, but to keep eyes on Him as a way of life.
UNDERSTAND GOD
Carrying the Bible, quoting the word of God, or making a church building a house is not evidence of understanding God in His word.
One with no understanding of the word of God cannot see God in His word to fear God, to be obedient to God.
Understand God by seeking Him to see Him in His word.
Psalm 14:2 records, “The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
PRAYER
Ask God to point you out, to fill you with understanding to seek Him diligently, to see Him in every area of life He has given you in the name of Jesus.
THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
A lack of knowledge and understanding is evidence of a listening disability.
Jesus expresses in John 8:43, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
Listening disability denies understanding.
Without understanding will not have a knowing edge in a challenging life.
Hosea 4:6 informs, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”
With the lack of knowledge and understanding of the word of God, failure in the walk of life becomes inevitable.
Ask that you will increase in the knowledge of God.
Ask to grow in the knowledge and understanding to live for His glory.
