God Does Respond!

God Does Respond!

Memorize and Meditate

“Then he said, ‘Don’t be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your request has been heard in heaven. I have come in answer to your prayer.’” (Daniel 10:12)

Soak your Heart

If we would take time to follow the example of Daniel, we would place ourselves in a position where God can and will answer our prayers. This is truly a secret of the kingdom.

Daniel was a student; he practiced soaking his heart in the Word of God and he continually sought God’s counsel. Position and wealth did not separate him from his relationship with God. Instead, he humbled himself under the mighty hand of God, believing and knowing God would act in his way and time. God honored that trust and acquainted Daniel with his ways.

Sow to the Spirit

As I memorize and meditate on this verse, Father, I crave understanding so I can bring my life into conformance with your will. I humble myself before you, realizing I must learn to trust you, and not myself.  I am coming to realize that truly the fountain of life resides in you. I humble myself before you, praying you will find me fit for use for the advancement of your kingdom.

Flow with the Spirit

A basic Kingdom of God principle is to read the Word of God. Eat it. Live it. Trust that God will visit to perform his good Word toward us. As I go forth to my place of assignment each day, I look for the signs of his visitations.

Practice

Today, take time to allow these truths to become a core principle in your inner person. As you become acquainted with God through his Word, he will teach you how to pray effectively. Daniel shows us the way to do this. I choose to follow Daniel’s example. Will you join me?

Don’t Water it Down!

  And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature… (2 Peter 1:4) Don’t Water it Down All of us have dreams we’re believing for, but too often we get discouraged and quit believing for the fullness of what’s in our heart. It’s easy to water down what God promised us. “I don’t like this job, but it’s good enough.” “I was believing for a house, but this apartment is okay.” “I was hoping to get well, but I’ve learned to live with this sickness.” If you’re going to become all you were created to be, you have to keep a fire in your spirit that says, “I refuse to settle for less than what God promised.” You’re not going to be talked out of it, you’re not going to water it down, and you’re not going to let good enough be good enough. It may be more difficult and taking longer than you thought, but what God promised you is still on the way—not a watered-down version, not a make-do promotion,

The Roots of Hope!

  The Roots of Hope Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17–19 “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. ”  From a circumstantial standpoint, the prophet Habakkuk lived in a terrible time. The land was soon to be invaded and, because of the disobedience of the people to God over time, prosperity was no more. Even though the circumstances were bad, Habakkuk gives us the formula for not only surviving but also thriving in such a period. The above passage shows us that Habakkuk did not allow circumstances to steal his joy. It is an example for us that our joy and happiness have to be based on more than just having go

The Source of Son Power!

  The Source of Son Power “ In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing. You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever. ” (Hebrews 1:10–12) These verses were written about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus is the one who laid the foundation of the earth! Jesus made the heavens with his hands! Jesus is the one who is always the same and will live forever! The earth and heavens we are able to see will be folded up someday and discarded like old clothing, but Jesus will live forever. From a human perspective, I do not know if we can even begin to comprehend the magnitude of these verses. We are talking about power far beyond any human imagination. We are talking about  Son Power . The same Son Power that is at work in the heart of the submissive believer. This is the power that is
