The Ability of God---Pray the Answer !

THE ABILITY OF GOD---PRAY THE ANSWER: Now when you return God's Word, and He said that it will not return to him void. When you return God's Word to Him, He will perform. Now that made not happen overnight. This is where the force of patience is exercise. Learn to be silent to the Lord as is mentioned in (Psalms 37:7). Don't use vain repetitions. Don't pray the same prayer over and over. That will hold you in bondage. I am a truck driver by trade, and let's say that I have just about a truck load of seed, and I'm going to plant a field of corn. Now wouldn't it be foolish if I went out the next morning and said, "Man, something is wrong. This corn is not coming up. Let's plow it up and plant it again." Then the next day the same thing happened. If I keep doing that, I could plant 365 days and still not produce any corn. We need to become as smart in the spiritual realm as we are in the natural. That kind of forming practice will cause you to go bankrupt quick ! Our prayer is many times have held us in bondage, causing spiritual bankruptcy. No one would dare plant a garden and the next morning dig it up. It takes time for these things to happen. God has certain laws that He operates under. He has regulated Himself by His Word. God has the power to do anything. But so many times He can't use His power in our behalf because if He did, it would violate His Word. That is one thing God cannot do ! He cannot violate His Word, if He did some of the things we ask, He would have to lie to do it. We have prayed beyond His ability to answer because of our violation of His rules for asking concerning prayer. Jesus said, "what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them." Some of you have been praying all the bad things, the problems. If God did what you really desired, then He would violate His Word. He said that you can have what you say when you pray, and you have said the problem in prayer over and over until all you are seeing and believing is the problem. Have you ever prayed, "Lord, it is not working out. It is not getting any better" ? Well, I was praying that very prayer one morning and the Lord spoke something into my spirit. It wouldn't have been any louder if I had heard it in my ears. He said, "What Are You Doing ?" I said, "Lord, I am praying." He said, "No, you are not; you are complaining !" A lot of folks are complaining, thinking they are praying. They are telling God there are problems. In (Matthew 6), Jesus said that the Father already knows the problem. He already knows what you have need of before you ask Him. Then there is no need to pray the problem. What we need to do is zero in on the answer. And the answer that you should be praying is the Word of God. Pray and speak the answer; cast the problem over on Him.
