long awaited prayers answered in 2008

Have you waited forever for many prayers to be answered? You know that you have prayed according to the will and word of God...but...how long does it take for God to answer, you ask.

That's where faith in Him and His wisdom kicks in. Darling if we are going to end up in the great hall of faith, ( names are still being added,) we must believe without seeing. Is that so hard? Not if you know how much He loves you. He would move mountains to bless you, and He already has, so many times, hasn't He?

Here is a big 'however'; I am seeing things come to pass that I have believed for, for years. It doesn't matter how spiritual we are, there will always be tests. I love it. Many times I have felt that God was playing a game with me called, "Challenge". Here is how it works, A problem presents itself, then with both of us looking into each others eyes ( I do notice a smile on God's face.) I say to God, "I have done all that I know to do according to your Word, Father, it is your move." Now, here is where the 'challenge' comes in. He seems to be staring at me, with that beautiful smile...but He is doing nothing.

Sweethearts,He has already done everything that needed to be done. At Calvary when the blood of dear Jesus flowed, that Blood announced to the Kingdom of darkness; Sins are forgiven, guilt done away with, all that I have belongs to My children. And, the minute God's promises go out of our mouths, angels pick those words out of the air and are responsible before God to carry out His words of promise.

No time is wasted in God's eye, for the tests are to show us how much we trust Him. But, 'decisions need to be made,' you say. Go ahead and don't be afraid to make a move, You know the nature of God, would He make that decision you are toying with? Here again is faith, my darling. He said He would never leave you, and He wasn't kidding.

Oh, how great is our God, sing with me, "How great is our God..."

One note of joyful thanksgiving, Pastor Lynn Childress and his Prophetess wife, Sheila, hosted a Raising Up Elishas Conference this past week end. Their church is named Agape Christian Fellowship in Alexandria Alabama. Their church is a fully functioning Apostolic Body. What a sight to see, what glory! God was all over the place. How we kept from lifting off I will never know.

God is wanting to show up and show out at every meeting where His people gather in his Name. If it isn't happening at your church, get in touch with us and we will trouble shoot for you. Christ is going to manifest Himself undeniable to the world, so why not through you and your church?

"Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do." John 14:13
