Beloved, it is not our long prayers, but believing God that gets the answer. However, I want to help somebody who finds persistent prayer a necessity,as we all do sometimes. We have not the least idea, Paul says, of the powers of darkness we are praying against. ”For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). And sometimes you have to lay hold of God, and stay before God, and stay through the blackness and through the darkness and through the night of it, until the faith of God penetrates, bless God, and the work is done.
AND, thank you, John G. Lake.
If one more guy tells me that I’m not the kind of girl they thought I was, I think I will scream. It’s always so accusatory… As if I exist to fulfill their dream or expectation.
I’m not like other girls, I suppose. I have always been proud of that… And I won’t stop now.
But, seriously, maybe I should take a poll. Go all Jesus on them and ask them, “Who do you say I am?”
But, I’ll just keep showing you who I am… Keep blowing your minds and running out of your grasp.
What a tale it shall be when that HE shows up and puts a ring on it ;)
Until then, I’m not too worried about it.
I think part of my restlessness right now is completely fueled by this core value: I will not be a useless Christian.
I’m not seeing the Spirit flow in my life like He has in the past… So, Move, Jesus, or move me.
