Today’s Scripture “If (since) you live in Me, and My Words live in you,
you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you” (John 15:7)
Where’s The Problem
Dear One, How many years, months, days, weeks, hours have you prayed about a certain thing? Many years ago — I prayed like everybody else over certain things. I prayed, told God what to do — cried, yelled at God like He was deaf — then I left it all up to God more than up to me, like I had no part. You know how that pitiful, crazy talk goes — “Well God — if You see fit — You will give that to me — I know You see I need love, money, peace.” One day years back, Father God literally dropped this reminder illustration right down into my heart! One day I forgot to put on my diamond ring I wear. I knew I had left it at home before I left for church. I knew I had left it right where I put it the night before. What do I do? When I got home I went to my special place I keep it — it wasn’t there? I was shocked! I began to hunt, search. First, here — then over there. Telling God all the way — “LORD, You have to find this ring for me.” I went over every place in the house carefully — even crawling around on my hands and knees looking under things, in things, in some odd places thinking maybe I had dropped it. I went outside where I had walked to the car — looking, feeling in the grass! I was going over and over every possible area carefully again and again! I knew that ring had to be there somewhere. Then I heard something on the inside of me say — “ROSE — you are missing it in prayer in this area too — looking for answers everywhere — in everything — over and over.” Right then — I saw what I needed to do spiritually about prayer! From then on I began looking at every area in my life where the LORD led me. Each time — I never had to look very far! Each time something was needed — all I had to say is — “Yes Sir LORD, that’s it right here! I found it! That’s it — Bless You Father — everything is already Done!” Beloved I have never had to pray again about the same thing over and over anymore. It just comes into being. How thankful I am to no longer pray days, weeks, months, years over the same thing again and again — yelling at God like He is deaf — telling Him what to do like He doesn’t know. So silly! You see! God already knows everything is Done (Psalms 139)! The problem is never with God. Jesus said in John 15:7 — “Since you live in Me, and My Words live in You, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.” I know you see “Done” now! Whether or not your prayers are heard and answered rests more with you than it does with God. If you always want to always get answers to your prayers, understand — live in Him — live in His Words — agree His words live, are Done, in you. God is not trying to love you, provide for you — He already has — He already does! Hunting time is over! All is already Done! Where’s the problem — look in your pocket, look in your heart — look in God’s Heart! His All is already Done — for you! Praise, Bless His Holy Name in all the earth and heavens! In Jesus’ Name,
