the WORDS that walks, speaks, encourages and changes

Have you been waiting for an answer from the Lord? Have you had this feeling that GOD may have not been hearing your prayers? Inspite of being deligent with the power of the Holy Spirit, have you been having the spirit of anxiety and fear of the unknown? Does the encouragement that you feel is coming from the Lord, is not just working with you nowadays? And you just want to give up... praying? discouraged?

Surely, that is NORMAL.. A normal human being who loves Jesus may still feel discouraged, angered, disappointed, frustrated and down-hearted.

Paul has explained the sinful nature in

Roman 7: 22-23 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.

As a Christian, we didnt earn to be saved by Jesus by being a PERFECT FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.. We strongly believe in Ephesians 2: 8-9, so whoever say he is perfect in the delight of God that is just surreal. We could pursue to be good in the eyes of the Lord but even the LOrd has even invented the word "GRACE" because his standrd couldnt not match us. He is GOD. Not even Paul, who is the greatest Christ Follower of all time, has been followed by his own sinful nature.

But the verse in Romans doesnt stop in verse 23. As we read Paul's writing about sinful nature

Romans 7: 24-25 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.

So in the beginning of this blog which mentioned how you are a bit tired of waiting for God's answer to your questions or prayer request.. It is not GOD we need to rattle about our impatience, but it is US.. Look at ourselves and see how JESUS could even change the spirit of IMPATIENCE in your life if we truly believe the HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR and entrust Him our life. Jesus wouldnt mind you asking this because HE IS YOUR LORD.. HE IS YOUR CREATOR.. in fact, HE PLANTED A DESIRE IN YOUR HEART.. He could have planted that prayer request in your heart.. He knows us in and out.. (PSALM 139: 13-18)

To encouraged you some more, try to open your Bible by looking at the lives of the greatest people but who has been given a DIVINE PLAN for the fulfillment of God's mission to restore His children, yet they doubted God's Sovereignty.

* Abraham - when told he would be a father in old age Genesis 17: 17... He doubted God when God said Abraham would become the FAther of All Nation.
* Moses - when told to return to Egypt to lead the people Genesis 18: 12... He said who is HE to asked the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go back to their country.
* Gideon - when told he would be a judge and a leader - Judges 6: 14-23
* Zechariah - when told he would be a father in old age LUke 1: 18

and so on and so forth...

You might still feel a little low because you think you do not have the same DIVINE PLAN like the characters in the Bible.. You may look small compared to the plan that God has given them.

Short and small role in God's MISSION to restore His children has the same intensity to God alone. In fact, it is the smallest role that makes up the BIG ROLE.. I BELIEVE IN THE PICTURE PUZZLE THAT GOD IS TRYING TO CONNECT.. With your life and my life.. from the past history of Adam to Abraham.. from Jesus to Paul.. from yours to mine..

So if you are still discouraged because GOD has not answered your prayers, remember to keep this Biblical verses and I advised you to medidate and even memorize it by heart.. see how the Lord will speak to you through these verses... I do this for myself because it is only GOD who can comfort me with his eternal words..

and so on and so forth... the BIBLE speaks because it is GOD's way of communicating to our hearts. It still doesnt work to encourage you, then.. i believe you need to go back to the basic of loving GOD with all your heart, soul and mind.. because I dont believe you love Him that much for you to dwell in your anxiety.. that only means you are even resisting His spirit of love and peace in your heart.

I will pray for you.. and I also pray for myself to keep holding on to the TRUTH IN THE MESSAGE OF GOD in our lives.. It is easy to sin, but it is not easy to keep loving the LOrd. Even though the HOly Spirit will always be with us, the worldliness, sinful nature and the devil are always there to ruin what God has started. God will fight for you definitely but why would you choose to lose the opportunity of a lifetime.. but I believe He called me.. and I responded because He knew even that was my TIME to be called and TIME to be saved..

I pray for your response that the Spirit of the Lord will dwell upon your heart and that you would never let it go.. it is going to be worth it, my friend.. worth a million times whatever you see in this world.. and million times better than your prayer request.

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (ESV)

But, as it is written,

"What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has prepared for those who love him"—

these things God has revealed to us through the HOly Spirit, For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
