You should always pray and never become discouraged

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; - Luke 18:1

We should not get faint in prayer. These days' believers are mostly getting faint in prayers. When they did not get answer immediately to the prayers, they get faint. God is not pleased with this approach. When you are not receiving answers to your prayer in time. You get discourage and you are saying, if God knows my needs then why I am not receiving answers in time. Some people stop praying and get back from the spiritual activates, when they are not receiving answers to prayers. Dear beloved, God actually delights in answering your prayers. So he comments us to call upon him. And He promised you that He will answer our prayers. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Mat 7:7) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (Jer 33:3) Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the mi dst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;(Isa 58:9) In the scripture we are reading that God is giving answers to our prayers according to His promise. I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Ps 3:4) I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.(Ps 118:5) And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.(Jonah 2:2)


Dear beloved, God loves you more than you can imagine. God loves you more than He loves Himself. To reveals His love to us, He died for us on the cross. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Rom 8:32) God loves you much then why still there was delay in answering your prayers. Most of the times devil, your enemy who hates you and he is against you receiving your answers from God. In some times God is delaying to answers your prayers for the reason to fulfill His will in your life. God never push His will in you without your willing. So God works patiently, so that you understand His will. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.(2Pet 3:9) God's plan is for you to grow up spiritually. He is willing to enlarge your faith. He likes you to develop a close r relationship with Him. If God answers all your prayers immediately then you will not spend more times in prayer. You will not spend your times in growing in the knowledge and fellowship with God. Delay does not mean that God is saying no to your request. As Bible says keep on praying and never give up.

But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me. - Ps 66:19-20

Run your best in the race of faith

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. - 1Tim 6:12 

Today Lord is saying to fight the good fight of faith. All the children of God are called to fight a good fight. It?s not the fight with each other or one another. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.(Eph 6:12) This is the fight for your faith. So you are supposed to fight for faith. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.(Jude 1:3) Satan is working all the times to bring you back from faith and to destroy your hope in God. In the same time Lord wants you to fight good fight of faith and to grow stronger in faith. Satan is using your situation as his weapons to makes you fall from your faith. Though you received promise from God and you have ho pe in His promise. Though you are able to overcome the situation in problems you are facing now. Satan is showing your problems are very big and always your situation is coming more and worse. It?s seems like there is no end for your problems. Dear beloved Satan shows you only the things going negative. On seeing things are happening like this you get doubt in your faith. For those who fight good faith, for them our God always keeps victory in your side. You must fight to hold the victory. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (2Tim 4:7) 


What is faith? Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.(Heb 11:1) In your fight of faith, you must believe the unseen. According to the word of God Moses send men to search the land of Canaan. And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain: And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds; And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.(Num 13:17-20) And they returned from searching of the land, they told the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. They also told we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. But Caleb who go with them told, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. Dear beloved you must be like Caleb in your fight of faith. Satan shows them the people of Canaan are like great warrior than them. Caleb believed in the word of God. He never give up his faith. And he said for we are well able to overcome it. You must fight the good fight. 

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; - 1Tim 1:18

God will open the way for them and lead them out of exile

I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. - Job 42:2. 

These days hindrance is the only reason people saying about the promise not fulfill in their life. Bible says no thought can be withholden from God. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? (Isa 43:11-13). for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few. (1Sam 14:6) In the days of Saul Philistines comes against them. Israel was not able to sharp their weapons because there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel. But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. (1Sam 13:20). So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found. Like the people of Israel you are also not having the weapons of warfare. The weapons of your warfare are your prayer life. As your prayer life is not good there are so hindrance stops the fulfillment of the God's promise. Be steady fast in prayer, that brings the fulfillment of God's promise. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (2Cor 10:4-5). 


In the life of Israel people the prayer life helps and takes all the hindrance for the fulfillment of God's covenant that made in the days of Abraham. And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. (Exo 2:23-25). Today Lord hears your groaning and remember his promise for you. Hear groaning refers the prayer with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God is making intercession for you with groaning which cannot be uttered. You are weakness in your prayer most of times. But the Spirit of God never gets weak and he is praying for you and intercession for you. In the same way the Spirit of God helps you. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. The Lord who hear the groaning of Israel people hears your prayers and remember you. The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. (Ps 115:12-15). 

The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them. - Micah 2:13
 

He renews our hopes and heals our bodies

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. - Ps 34:18 

Broken heart means that our heart is broken due to contrition. When you pray with the contrite heart it is pleasing to God. Instead of praying with hours together, if you pray with a contrite heart, pouring your short comings to the Lord, then this prayer yields more fruits. God will never reject the broken hearted person. When you shed tears in your brokenness of heart, God will never ignore it. Read the life of Hannah. She was barren and it was a heavy burden for her. Others ridiculed her. Her adversary daily criticized her. And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.(1Sam 1:6). Hannah came to the presence of God, because by her self she could not find a solution for her persisting agony. She came to God with a completely broken and shattered heart. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.(1Sam 1:10-11). Hannah?s sincere prayers brought God, Himself, to her. God answer her prayer request and granted Samuel. Today you also like Hannah pour your heart in the presence of God. Are you praying, like Hannah, for the gift of a child? God will bless and grant a child today. 


Once two persons came to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a publican. The Pharisee was praying to God telling all about his own glory and good deeds. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.(Lk 18:11-12). Where as the publican did not even dare to raise his eyes towards heaven, but stuck his chest with a contrite heart, And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.(Lk 18:13). The prayer of the Pharisee was not acceptable to God but that of the publican was answered. When you pray with repentant and contrite heart, God forgives your sins and iniquities. One day when David was having a stroll on his terrace, He saw Bathsheba his eyes were filled with lust and he fell in to the pit of sin. To cover that one sin he committed a serious of sins. When Prophet Nathanael made him realized his sin. David was deeply perturbed and wept with bitter heart. With utterly broken heart, David returned to God. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.(Ps 51:17). God listen to the prayers for David. He forgave David. Also He made a covenant with him. The reign of David was reinstated. Beloved, no matter how harden are your sin returned to God with penitent heart. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isa 1:18) 

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. - Ps 147:3

Keep safe what you have, so that no one will rob you of your victory prize

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. - Ps 34:18

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. - Ps 147:3

Keep safe what you have, so that no one will rob you of your victory prize

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. - Rev 2:10 

The God we worship is the king of kings and Lord of Lords. Our king of kings treats us as a king. Yes he has anointed us with the anointing of kings. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Rev 1:5-6). God who has anointed you as a king also given you authority, power and inheritance, has promised us to bless us with crowns. The word of God promises us about various crowns. Holy crown (Exo 29:6), royal crown (Esther 1:10), crown of pure gold (Ps 21:3), crown of glory (Pro 4:9), crown of decoration (Isa 62:3), beautiful crown (Eze 16:12), incorruptible crown (1Cor 9:25), crown of rejoicing (2Tim 4:8), crown of righteousness(2Tim 4:8), Crown of life (James 1:12), crown of glory that fadeth not (1Pet 5:4). God blesses us with crowns that we can observe through our eyes and other crowns that which we cannot perceive. God crowns us with his grace, glory and goodness. These crowns we cannot see with our eyes. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: (Heb 2:7). In faith Apostle Paul speaks about the crowns that God has prepared for him. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.(2Tim 4:6-8). 


Jesus Christ was crown with thorns oh his head in order to make you kings and to be crown. Today the Lord reveals about the crown of life. Any one who is obedient and faithful to Him, He will crown with the crown of life. There is no one in this world with out sufferings and problems. Are you faithful in the middle of your problems and sufferings? During his trials and suffering in his life, Job never accused or murmured against God. And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.(Job 1:21-22). Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. (Job 2:9-10). In the midsts of your trials and tribulation do not blame God and do not commit sins through your words. But be sincere to him and receive the crown of life. God expects truthfulness in all your deeds. Today many of them are not faithful in their life and there fore they do not reach higher places. Please be faithful to him so that he is able to lift you high. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (Mat 25:23). 

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. - Rev 3:10-11

As I lead you, I will level mountains and break the iron bars on bronze gates of cities

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: - Isa 45:2 

Today Lord is saying He will go before you and make the crooked places straight. He is not only going before you and makes the elevated places plain, He is the Lord make all things new. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.(Rev 21:5) Are you in the suffering and distress due to your sickness. Lord is going to turn your sickness. He will heal and restore your strength. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.(Ps 41:3) When Moses direct the Israel people in the wilderness, Moses prayed to God for the presence of God to go before them. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.(Exo 33:14) The Lord went before them and He turned the sea into dry land. He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.(Ps 66:6) Our Lord is the Lord who turned the darkness to light, turned the curses to blessings. He turns the people those who plan to do evil to you, yes He turn the evil to good. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. (Ps 107:35-38). 


When Moses directs the Israel people in the wilderness, they pass through wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.(Exo 15:25-26) Here Moses did as per the guidance of God. The LORD told him to throw a piece of wood into the water. Moses did so, and the water became sweet to drink. Today obey the commands of the Lord and the Lord will turn all the bitterness in your life to sweet. Whatever the situation and difficulties you may pass through, believe that you are having the Lord who turns all your situations. He is able to turn the times and dates. He is the Lord who turns your sufferings. Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: (Job 5:9) The Lord who created the heaven and the earth, when seen the earth was waste and without form. Through His word, he turns the waste and without form to brightness. In the same way Lord will turn the void and empty to brightness. And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: (Dan 2:21) 

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. – Isa 63:1
