Breakthrough: The Answer is Just 1,2,3... Prayers Away!

Luke 18:1-8. How many times you started praying for something and as the time passed you just gave up, because you "lost heart"? How many times you felt discouraged waiting for something impossible to happen? How many times you thought you were crazy believing in God's promise because it took "forever" to come true? If it happened to you, congratulations, you are a sinful human being and you need Jesus Christ. If it never happened to you, congratulations, you are a sinless human being, you ARE Jesus Christ! Of course, if you are not Jesus Christ, then you never prayed before! Bottom line: At one point in your prayer life you'll feel discouraged, but you should never "lose heart", you should never stop believing that God will fulfill His promise! I think (maybe you are different) that everyone of us will at some point deal with our weakness, that is, lack of faith, that's why we must keep going, keep praying, keep pressing on until we see the result, our prayer answered. I lived something like that when God promised my son David (read post  Personal Testimony: My Son), at one point i felt discouraged, it thought i was "nuts", but after 5 years believing in God's promise, i took David in my hands and saw God's promised fulfilled and i gave glory to God who kept His promise. In the text above, Jesus is assuring us that it will take HEART to receive what God has for us, it will take determination and courage to fight against our UNBELIEF and if we PERSEVERE we will receive it. Maybe you are waiting for a BREAKTHROUGH, for  an answer to your prayer and maybe right now you're feeling discouraged, my advice to you is: DON'T LOSE HEART! Maybe we prayed a thousand times for it, but maybe the answer will come when you pray next time, how do you know the time? ONLY GOD KNOWS IT! But you have to keep believing. The other "side of the coin" is: Are you 100% sure that what you are asking is God's will for you or the one you're praying for? Are you praying for your UNBELIEVING spouse? Considering that you know what FREE WILL means, do you believe that your spouse WILL BE SAVED? 1 Corinthians 7:16. Do you think that Paul is saying that YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE WILL NOT BE SAVED? Pay attention to Paul's question: How do you know whether YOU will save your spouse? Do you really think YOU can save YOUR spouse? On the other hand, DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST CAN SAVE YOUR SPOUSE? DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST CAN SAVE YOUR SPOUSE? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT IF BY TAKING "FOREVER" TO SAVE YOUR SPOUSE GOD IS NOT JUST TRYING TO "INCREASE" YOUR FAITH? HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU WILL BE SAVED? I hope you understand what i'm trying to accomplish here: TO TEST YOUR FAITH! I am NOT telling you to divorce your spouse, God hates divorce: Malachi 2:16. Of course there are exceptions, like adultery for example. Are willing to pay the price to receive what God has for you? Are you willing to cry the last tear until you receive the "blessing" (what you're praying for)? IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD? Remember Abraham? Genesis 18:14. Remember what God said to the Prophet Jeremiah? Jeremiah 32:27. Has God changed? Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8. Why our prayers ARE NOT answered? 1) Wrong motivation: James 4:3. 2) Will of God: 2 Corinthians 12:7-9. Time or Opposition: Daniel 10:12-13. We must know if it is the will of God and keep praying until we receive: Matthew 7:7-11: 1 Thessalonians 5:17. I wrote this because this morning i was "feeling down" (i'm going through a tough time), but i decided in my heart that i won't give up, i won't lose heart, i will fight to the end and i know that God will give me the victory! I hope you'll feel encouraged and will keep praying and believing until you receive the "blessing". AMEN.
