EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
How many of us are asking God for something? Possibly, someone might be in need of a breakthrough but is discouraged because they aren’t seeing any results.
God instructs us to Pray and Obey! Think about this: It’s a process; it’s not instantaneous. It requires action on our part. It could happen instantaneously—yes, that is possible—but praying and being obedient to God’s Word is the process, and then we wait on Him for timing.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances that this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
Ask God for instructions on how to spur on your prayer requests. Maybe a fast, maybe gathering with others you trust to pray. Next, obey whatever He tells you to do. But don’t put pressure on others for your own satisfaction or to propel your wants and desires. If it’s a request to God for “someone,” hand them over to God in your prayer.
Psalm 119:32: “I will quickly obey your commands.”
Psalm 119:60: “Without delay, I hurry to obey your commands.”
Don’t put pressure on yourself, either. Pray! And obey! Learn the scriptures. Watch and wait and see how you will launch into growth. Through obedience, you’ll receive the blessing of knowing God used you within the situation you prayed for.
Be patient, wait and pray and be obedient! Being the example you are called to be by God will bring upon results that you will forever be grateful for.
