Pursue God's Promises Then Wait On God's Promise

Do you ever grow weary and think God does not care about you and the things you pray about and ask for are not coming to pass?
We all wonder about this very thing, but, there are sometimes reasons for why things seem not to come to pass.
  1. Are we faithful in our part?
  2. Have we surrendered our whole heart to God?

Are we praying in the will of God or are we praying according to what we think is best?

God tells us he will supply all our needs.

Phil 4:19

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

God wants to provide your every need and he wants us to prosper. God owns it all and there is nothing he wishes to withhold from his children.

1 Thess 5:24

Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Have you accepted the call of Christ? Have you really died to self? God wants us to be totally sold out to him in all areas of our lives and to trust him completely. God doesn't just want parts of us ( Bits and Pieces.) He wants your whole heart. He paid the price for you and I, purchased us with the blood of Jesus, paid all your debts. Paid in full by the blood of the lamb. He owns us, we belong to him.

Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Are we doing his will,or are we doing our own will? Now if we purchase something than it belongs to us and we have all rights to do with it whatever is pleasing to us. Therefore does not Christ ownership of us, to do with us and place us according to his own will? His purpose? When we mummer and complain we hinder and sometimes miss out on the blessings and promises of God. When we pray God wants us to come in faith and believe he is able.

Hebrews 11:6 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 seek him.

We must learn to pray in the will of God, not praying to obtain possessions or built up treasures on earth.God's Word is alive and all truth and works, if we just learn how to pray and ask according to God's word, which is his will and believe and not doubt, it shall come to pass.

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

Matt 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing ye shall receive.

Matt 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, verily I say unto you, if ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

God wants us to prosper.

3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest proper and be in health, even as thy soul propereth.

When we begin to learn the word of God our souls do proper and we line up with the will of God and therefore we learn to pray in God's will and then we begin to see God's promises.
But we have the most magnificent promise of all from our Lord if we accept him and love him and keep the faith, we are promised an inheritance of Life Eternal, a crown we shall receive, joint heirs with Christ Jesus. We will walk on streets of gold, live in the presence's of God almighty eternally. God's time is not our time, don't try and put God on our time frame. He said ask and it shall be given but all things come in due season, all things are for the glory of God. God knows our every need and will supply them both physical and spiritual. All things come to those who wait on the Lord. Be patient, trust him, lean not to your own understanding. God will provide. He is our sole provider. Cast out all doubt. God is above all and more than able. Stand on his promises, The Word of God, He is all Truth.................

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering: ( for he is faithful that promised. )

Believe it , God said it, God will do it. God be the Glory.

A-men
