“Prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.” – Ephesians 6:18

God of Wonders
“Remember the wonders He has performed, His miracles…”
I Chronicles 16:11
Delay Does Not Mean Denied
Waiting for an answer to prayer can be hard sometimes, but I’d just like to share that although it seems that there may be a delay, it doesn’t mean that your request has been denied. In fact, it has been my experience that after what seemed to be a great delay, I was blessed far and away more than I was asking for in the first place!
Here’s an example from John 11:1-44
A request for healing is brought to Jesus. “…A certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha… Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”
Jesus responds with a delay. ” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.” Then, after finally arriving in Bethany, Lazarus having been dead 3 days,
Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. ” He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
And he, who had died, came out,,.. “ Hallelujah!!!
“Are you praying for something, and there seems to be a delay in receiving your answer? Just remember that God is working all things together for your good, and He is able to do “exceedingly abundantly above all that you may ask or think… So hold on, the answer’s on its way, and it promises to exceed your expectations!” 🙂

Good and True!
“God never made a promise that was too good to be true.”

Drop The Mic
“Don’t just listen to the Word,
and, in this way, deceive yourselves…
Do what it says.”
James 1:22
O Yes, He Cares
“Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for happiness and song;
As the burdens press,
And the cares distress,
And the way grows weary and long?
O Yes, He cares, I know He cares!
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary,
The long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.”
Hymn- “Does Jesus Care?”
By J. Lincoln Hall and F.E. Graeff
The Love of God
The love of God is greater far
Then tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest Hell,
Could we with ink the ocean fill
,
And were the skies of parchment made;
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love
Of God above
Would drain the oceans dry;
Nor could the scroll
Contain the whole,
Tho stretched from sky to sky.
Hymn-“The Love of God” by F.M. Lehman
