Isaiah 1:19-20 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
A testimony came from his fasting program. “It took me so long to actually realize that all my prayers and expectations were seed sown in the previous years”. Insults to Results, have been answered. Not one left, this year God connected her to her husband after their fasting program in church she exclaimed.
God turned her insults to result, her expectation concerning her children and marriage came true. Our expectations come from the Lord, and he will do exceedingly more abundantly more than we could ask. Ephesians 3: 20 This means he will PERFORM, beyond and above your petitions, expectations and imagination, not one shall be left in Jesus’ name. Delay is not denial. If her temporal fasting program could yield her the result she wanted. Short term discipline forms the basis of calling Elohim into our situation.
15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
God of Another Chance Matthew 26: 64 – 70
Adam and Eve missed it (Genesis 3); Abraham missed it when he went to Hagar their handmaid following the counsel of his wife (Genesis 16); Samson missed it when he disclosed the secret of his strength to Delilah (Judges 16); King David missed it and wandered far away from God when he took Uriah’s wife and killed him (2 Samuel 11). Apostle peter missed it when he denied Christ three times (Matthew 26).
Their stories, however, did not end with the mistakes they made. Each one time found a way and got back to God. They all exploited the opportunity of God’s mercy and made it back to him. This is because God gives everyone who has made a mistake another CHANCE or more chances! Yes, our God is a God of ‘second chances’ (Job 33: 29). Heaven rejoices whenever someone who sinned returns back to God (Luke 15: 4-7, 10). No matter how faraway you have gone from God, His arms are open to welcome your back. Close with Mary Pickford – “If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but staying down.” Return again! Start again! Hold on and hold out.
If we don’t get past, that whether we are worthy or not, or how we feel then it will be hard. It’s not whether we can feel God (that’s flesh), you have to believe that the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is in you; exercise your faith not by feelings but by prayer. The bible says when we come to God, we should BELIEVE that he hears and will answer. Faith is not a feeling but a BELIEVE. As David says, “take not your spirit from me; restore unto me the joy of my salvation” Speak the scriptures over your situation for restoration.
Prayer
