First of all, this is what i mean by "reverse prayer": A
prayer that shows to be the "opposite" of what was asked for.
Example: I pray for someone's healing and the person dies (this happened to
me); i pray the "prayer of Jabez" (increase my territory) and my
"territory" shrinks, etc. What i also mean by "conspiracy
theory" is that we (i'm probably not the only one) tend to find
the explanation for everything and always come up with some kind of
"theory". There are some passages in the Bible where people did the
same, for example: John 9:1-3. In this case, Jesus' disciples played
the old "blame game", where someone has to be guilty for something
and usually when we play that game, everyone is guilty but ourselves. It's an
old game, started with Adam and Eve, Adam blamed Eve who blamed the serpent,
but in fact, the "original" sin is attributed to Adam, so, Adam was
the guilty one! This morning, God taught a difficult lesson, it was like
this: The night before, i prayed for a "fruitful" day (many rides,
since i'm a cab driver), so i woke up at 3am to get a
ride to O’Hare airport. At 5:24am i got an
even better ride, it was to midway due at 6am . It was a
fake ride, so the process is: Ask for "no load" and wait 20 minutes.
I tried to play "smart" and at 6:05am sent a message to the dispatcher saying:
"Issue with customer", the dispatcher called right way and i told
that was a "fake order" and she put me back in the system. At 6:14am i got a local ride 7
miles away. At 6:24 , there was
an "open order" in the zone where i got the "fake
order", it was to O'Hare and i couldn't get it because i already
had the local one. I got mad, but did the local and latter got another local
one at 7am . When i
entered the subdivision, i saw a friend of mine leaving the subdivision with a
passenger. I called and asked him if he got from the company, he said yes.
After dropping the passenger, the Holy Spirit showed me that He was trying to
"bless" me by giving me a ride to O'Hare, the fake one was necessary
in order to get the one to O'Hare, but as i was impatient and didn't followed
the proper "rules" (i had an "issue with costumer" but that
wasn't the proper way to get the "no load"), i missed the
"blessing" for being impatient, for not being willing to wait
for the "blessing" (i had a ride from O’Hare a 9 am, so i had to
go empty). The lesson is: Never try to "outsmart" God, He knows
what's best for us. It is as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 8:6. So,
what happened this morning wasn't about the money, was about
the lesson, and the lesson i learned (hopefully i will apply it
from now on) is that God wants to bless me, He will do it at His time and
His way, if i miss the blessing, the only one who can be blamed for
it is MYSELF! About the "reverse prayer", my conclusion is
that i have to pray but at the same time trust that God knows the outcome
and if it doesn't happened the way i wanted or expected, the WILL OF GOD IS
STILL PERFECT! 1 Timothy 6:11 . James 1:3-4.
