Praise God, The Answer is on the way


 

1 John 5 vs 13 - 15

I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.  And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him, and since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.


Have you ever suffered from the lack of confidence?  I have many times, but there's one thing that I have a held unto and that is confidence in my Heavenly Father.  This little song, which is from the King James Version of 1 John 5 vs 14 and 15. is something I remember from my childhood, it was 1st published in 1972, the year I was born 😀, the composer is unknown, but the words are scripture, inspired by the Holy Spirit.  So they are true and we can have this confidence.  

I remember when I was a child, hearing the saints of God saying, after they had prayed "Praise God, The Answer is on the way".  That was confidence, because they knew God had heard their prayer.  They understood how to pray according to the will of God, which is the Word of God, and therefore they had confidence that God would hear and answer.  

Many times, our Heavenly Father is working in ways that we cannot see, preparing and working things together, even before we pray.  I can testify to that many times.

If you are being tempted to think that God has forgotten about you or is not listening to you, check if you are praying according to his Word, that is have you a scripture or promise from God that you can base your prayer or petition on.  If you have and you believe that God is who he said he is, then you can have confidence that he hears and he will answer.  

When the enemy comes with his lies, boldly and confidently you can answer like Jesus "It is written" and tell that liar what God has said.  Even when our faith is being tried we can have confidence to stand and say "Praise God, The Answer is on the Way"

1 Peter 1:7

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:”

God is Good - HALLELUJAH

God is Good ALL the Time - HALLELUJAH This is a song we often sing in church - I love the words - but I'm so glad that the songs we sing aren't just about good words and catchy tunes - but they help us to express the wonder and gratitude to our Almighty Father and creator, and Lord and King.  How wonderful it is to be lost in Awe of his majesty, and wonderful and amazing love. When we consider that he has forgiven us and called us his own, we cannot stay silent but yet words fail to express what we feel.  So our whole body is moved - our hands raise up and our feet want to dance. I used to live in a house where my kitchen window looked out into the back of other houses - and one day I was singing this song and dancing in my kitchen, when I suddenly noticed that my neighbors (the 3 children and the mother) where all standing at their upstairs window watching me - at first I thought I should stop but I didn't because I really didn't care because I am not ashamed of

Rejoice Ahead of Time

To Rejoice Ahead of Time really is faith in action, because as we believe and receive we begin to rejoice in spirit that what we are believing for is on it's way now - that our prayer has been heard and has been answered.  There is a great expectation that something is going to happen - we don't know how or where and in what way things will change but like a child waiting on a surprise we are looking and listening with excitement and expectation.  This kind of faith is not easily shaken.  Even more bad news can become a stepping stone under our feet that lifts us up even higher and enables us to reach even deeper into the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.  When we allow ourselves to Rejoice and to be Thankful to God for answering our prayers it pleases the heart of our Heavenly Father and brings joy to him.  It is this joy that strengthens us to stand strong.  I used to believe that God would answer my prayer or heal me etc some TIME in the future, that everyt

Remember the good things

Image
Do you see the little bird in the picture?  Sitting so pretty, not a care in the world.  What a beautiful picture of tranquility and contentment.   Matthew 6 v 26 Jesus said  Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Have you ever asked yourself this question?  Today I have been thinking about how good God is and how worthy he is to be praised.  My heart is grieved at all the 'bad news' it seems that people remember the bad things easier than the good things. I have always loved to praise God and to sing praises to him.  I was very quiet and shy as a child, and was never asked to sing at sunday school or school, in fact I was told a number of times that I wasn't good enough.  But this didn't stop me singing to God, He never told me I wasn't good enough.  I didn't sing because I thought I was good at it, I sang because I wanted t
