EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
I’ve been praying fervently about a situation that has been discouraging me because I’ve been patiently waiting with no response.  I have a choice. I can question if God hears me, or trust that He does. I choose to trust!
Isaiah 55 promises that like the rain and snow does what it needs to do wherever it goes, it accomplishes what God desires and achieves the purpose for which He sends it.
I need to remember that when I’m praying through a battle, there is power in God’s word. The words that I raise to heaven to our Father, are weapons of warfare. That is why it is so important that I know the Word, hide it in my heart, and study it daily.  Then I try to pray it back to God as often as I can. You can do this too.
Angels and demons fight on our behalf, we must believe this! God gives us everything we need in His word. When we pray His Word, we tap into His power and the sword that He tells us His Word is!
God’s word is “living and active” sharper than any double-edged sword…(Hebrews 4:12) it’s never ineffectual, that why I choose to “trust” that He hears me when I pray. Even though my earthly desire is to have my own way in a situation, there is a whole spiritual realm going on that I must trust God in. Things I do not and can not see. Do you relate?
Ladies, declare the Word of God when you pray.  How can you declare it if you don’t know it? Study it! Then, watch as a spectator on the sidelines as God moves in your situation according to His will and purpose.  You will be amazed at outcomes, versus being continuously discouraged, and if you’re in the wait, you’ll have patience versus frustration. There is a whole army of angels that fight on your behalf, even when you aren’t seeing it! Believe it!
