WHEN LORD WHEN!?!?!?

 

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not

seen. Hebrews 11:1

 

Some of you have asked GOD for a breakthrough, a new job, a child, or a

husband.  Some of you have been waiting so long and have gotten so close

only to feel as if the answers to your prayers have slipped through your

fingers.  Some of you are losing, or have lost hope.  As a result your

prayers are not fueled by faith and you only ask GOD because it is the only

thing you can do.  You are essentially bracing yourself for the impact of

rock bottom.  You ask "WHY and WHEN LORD?"  Each day becomes a struggle to

move forward and your faith is giving way to fear. 

 

If this describes you I would like to ask you "WHY and WHEN oh faithful of

GOD?"  Why do you doubt when GOD's resume is ever fresh in your life.  When

will you stop carrying GOD around in your pocket as if he is the special

weapon when your back is against the wall?  GOD should be in your heart

filling every aspect of your life.  Even in the smallest details of your

life GOD should be present.  GOD has plans for you.  Live as if you believe

his word.  That new job is already waiting for you. That child you have yet

to meet face to face has already had his/her life planned out by the Father.  Your

husband is being shaped and molded to your heart even as we speak.  Do not

defeat yourself just because your timetable is not being met.  Do not give

up on GOD just because of "what the situation looks like".  GOD is the master

of all situations and allows failure, and success for the greatest impact

for his will and glory.  You have to have faith that whatever the situation

is in your life is fitting into his plan.  You have to align yourself in his

will and keep your hope in him so that when life happens you can trust GOD

has control  

 

When you believe in GOD just to the point of having faith in him to do what

you can accomplish yourself, then all you have is a religion, and not a

relationship with GOD.  GOD wants you to move past your initial confession

of faith into a total dependence and relationship with him.  What GOD

desires is to show you that he can and will move mountains for your benefit.

The problems in your life are just opportunities for GOD to show you his

love for you.  Those "unanswered" prayers are not GOD's absence in your

situation. Rather GOD is giving you the time to grow and prepare for what

his answer and blessing will bring.  Believe me when you only live (on average) 80

years as a human, waiting 10 years for your blessing can seem like a long

time.  Be encouraged, GOD has not forgotten about you. GOD will not fail

you. And most of all GOD has given his all to show you he loves you.

 

I love you in always, and in all ways.
