Do not fear, from the first day that you set your heart
to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard,
and I have come because of your words. - Daniel 10:12
We all have goals, dreams and visions in life.
We pray
about them and try to hold fast, because with faith in Jesus, we believe they
will come to pass. And when they do, it is the most wonderful feeling in the
world. A dream becoming reality. A prayer answered. And our faith in GOD is strengthened even more.
However, there are times when the enemy will cloud the vision GOD
gives us. he may not be able to read our minds, but he can hear our words. he
sees our actions and our reactions, and knows our hot buttons. he knows just what
buttons to push, and when to push them, to get our minds off of GOD's vision. The enemy would like nothing better than to steal our dreams. But he can't steal our
dreams, unless we let him. This is why it's so important for us to hold fast
our confession of faith. To be diligent in our faith.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as
a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour - 1 Peter 5:8
Disappointment can open a door for the enemy to slip in and
steal, kill and destroy our hopes and dreams. There’s a song entitled, “When
GOD is Silent”, that I truly love. The song talks about how when GOD is silent
He is giving us more time to pray. If you’ve prayed and prayed for something
and it just hasn't come to pass; don’t stop believing that it won’t happen.
Keep praying, praising and believing in GOD’s word. After you’ve prayed; PRAISE
HIS HOLY NAME UNTIL YOUR PRAYERS COME TO PASS!!
The song goes on to say, “There are times when we pray to
GOD for an answer, and it seems that all hope is gone. There is no need to
spend time worrying, just fall down on your knees again and again”. Our Lord
and Savior, prayed the same prayer three times in the Garden, the night before
He gave His life for us (Matthew 26:36-44); then the Lord sent angels to
minister unto Him to give Him the strength to make it to the cross. If you
believe GOD is working all things out to your benefit; then you have to trust
that His timing is part of that. He wouldn't have given His only Son if He
wasn't going to keep His promise to us.
I want to encourage you this day, not to be disappointed at
what appears to be a lack of results in prayer. We have no idea what the Lord
is doing on our behalf to answer our prayers. We cannot see it; but rest
assured He is working it out. What He requires from us is faith to believe the
Word of GOD is true. Just because you FEEL the answer isn't coming; don’t let
the enemy make you BELIEVE your prayers have been denied.
So, remember, what our scripture said, “…from the very first
day, GOD heard your prayers.” Therefore, do as Daniel did, and keep your eyes
focused on Jesus; keep praying in faith, remembering to thank Him for all He
has done and all He is doing in your life.
Remember: GOD IS FAITHFUL
