Are you, like many of us, waiting for God to answer your prayers? Have you been praying relentlessly for weeks, months, or perhaps even years about the same issues and concerns—never seeing any signs of a breakthrough? If you are walking in God’s will and doing your best to stay hopeful, then the only thing left for you to do is—Wait! God is secretly working on things you know nothing about.

Stay in faith—————————————————this might take a minute!

In our minds, our prayers are straightforward, but they could be more complex than we realize. For instance, when our prayers involve other people, a whole chapter in their life might have to be played out before we see any answers to our prayers. There could be lessons that they have to learn and experiences they must experience—first! These things take time.

The lessons and experiences could start an avalanche, a chain reaction in other people’s lives connected to the person we are praying for. The situation in those other lives might have to be dealt with, and so on, and so forth. (Excerpt from Paulette Talks Faith Book 1: “This—Might Take a Minute!)

Can you think of a better way for God to develop our faith than to make us wait?

God cares about our spiritual growth; therefore, sometimes a delayed prayer is more about: molding the fruit of the Spirit in our character (see Galatians 5:22-23); drawing us nearer to Him (see Matthew 6:33); transforming our desires to reflect His will (Psalm 37:4); and developing our faith to trust and obey (see Proverbs 3:5-6).

In the meantime, as we wait,  

• Look for unexpected answers and blessings along the way;
• View waiting as a time to grow spiritually;
• Meditate on a good outcome;
• Draw closer to God;
• Trust Him to do what’s best;
• Be kind and do good in other people’s lives; and
• Praise Him before you see anything.

God isn’t going to give us a play-by-play of His actions; we wouldn’t understand it even if He did (see Isaiah 55:8). We might not be able to trace His every step, but in the end, we’ll know—only God could have pulled it together so masterfully.

 “So, that’s why it took so long.”

God can do more than we can ever ask or think. What are you believing God for? Is the scope of your request smaller than what He wants to do in your life?

Disclaimer: I am not talking about serving God just to get everything we want like spoiled children; absolutely not. I’m talking about when we have a revelation that loving Him, obeying Him, and being in His presence are blessings by themselves; anything else—are added pluses. (See Psalm 27:4.)

I don’t want to miss out on anything that the Lord wants for me; or miss what He wants me to do for Him. Therefore, after I pray, I’ve learned to ask the Holy Spirit to pray for me. He knows the Father’s will; and if my prayers are too small for my earthly assignments, He will give me the desire to believe for more.

Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal:

• Are your requests in His will?
• How far is He willing to extend your request if you had the faith to believe for more?
• What does He want you to do with the blessings?

. . .We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. ²⁷ And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God (Romans 8:26-27, NIV).

There’s Kingdom work to be done!

God empowers and equips us to perform certain tasks. If our faith is too small to believe for more, we could possibly be limiting ourselves for His use. Think about the outcomes if Noah, Moses and others didn’t have the amount of faith that it took to do the jobs that were set before them?

I’ve heard people say they don’t want more faith because of the responsibilities attached. They’re right; much is given—much is required (see Luke 12:48.) But it’s not all about us. We have to get our minds off ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to use our lives for His Kingdom. People are watching when God miraculously heals; supernaturally provides; and when He gives comfort during the worst of times. Let’s not limit the Creator of all creations with our lack of faith.

It’s our turn on earth; there’s a lot of work to be done and impacts to be made. Misusing our lives will have bitter results. On the other hand, when we walk in God’s will, the results are glorious and far reaching.

Do you have the faith—to have the faith to believe for more?

 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20).

Our heavenly Father has put this world on notice: Come together and BEHAVE! Look around and see how far we have strayed from His Word. Do you honestly think God is pleased? He is especially displeased with how we treat one another. Some people treat their pets better than they treat human beings—you know I’m right. We can’t claim to love God who we have not seen, and mistreat our fellow man.

Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. ²¹ And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister (1 John 4:20-21, NIV).

You might disagree with my post this week; I might even lose a few followers; I do understand. But by faith, I write what the Holy Spirit gives me. And He is saying: Behave! On the other hand, if you agree with this message, please share for others to read.

God created people in all different shapes and sizes with varying degrees of intelligence. They have different likes and dislikes. Some people are full of love; some full of hate. Opposing ideologies will cross over into someone’s comfort zone. Diverse religious interpretations are as vast as the capacity to comprehend.

There are different races, customs, cultures, and social standings that give innumerable perspectives on how the world is seen. And what seems clearly simple to some is muddied and mysterious to others. The recognizable differences are far more than what I have just listed. Yet, with all the dissimilarities, God lumped us all together on earth and said: Love thy neighbor!

This directive digs deep into the depths of our hearts. It reveals everything the Holy Spirit needs to know about us. Though, many fail this test every day with prejudice, hate, greed, jealousy, and unforgiveness as they walk around with a false sense of superiority. Nevertheless, some will arrogantly argue that they are Christians—followers of Christ. (Excerpt from Paulette Talks Faith Book 3.)

We’re all connected!

Technology has connected the world; everyone is everybody’s neighbor. God has given man the skills to pull the inhabitants of this planet together—as one. Distance and language barriers can no longer separate us; the world is accessible for all to enjoy and share. No one is better than anyone else in the sight of God. Anyone who thinks differently, show your certified papers of pedigree bearing the seal of the Holy Spirit—signed by God stating: You are above His mandates. If you don’t have this document, then you must take the test and be judged like everybody else.

The test!

My background is in education. When I was a teacher, my students were tested on what was emphasized in class. Along that line of thinking, God put a lot of emphases on how we are to treat one another. It’s sad, but a lot of people have gotten side-tracked from their earthly mission in order to obtain temporal “things.”

We can get so attached to the “things” of this world that we forget we’re only here for a brief moment—just long enough to take God’s test; and loving our neighbor is a major part of the exam.

A well-constructed test will have a few brainteasers that will make the students stop and go—Hmmm! Brainteaser: Do you value your possessions, position, and money over people? If yes, how will you explain your answer to God?

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? ²⁷ For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done (Matthew 16:26-27, NIV).

To ignore the poor, the sick, and hungry is to ignore God (see Matthew 25:34-40). Who are we to discriminate—if it hadn’t been for God’s grace on our side where would we be? (See 1 Corinthians 15:10.)

Our Father wants us to Behave!

Everybody knows you can’t get rid of dandelions just by chopping off their yellow obnoxious heads; they’ll be right back with a vengeance. The only way you can fight this menace is to attack it at the root.

What works with plants—works with people. Hmmm!

There are people whose essence is drenched in negativity; everywhere they go they drag a vile stench of discord and hate. We know everybody isn’t going to be warm and fuzzy, and everybody isn’t obligated to like us; after all everybody didn’t like Jesus—still don’t. But the problem comes when these people occupy our space: supervisors, co-workers, family members, churchgoers, or a kid bullying children at school; the list can go on-and-on.

Don’t fan the flames!

What can be done when the situation becomes overwhelmingly problematic? I’ve learned not to fan the flames by snapping off at the mouth; that’s like snapping off the heads of dandelions. Also, I’ve learned tit-for-tat doesn’t work either; they’re resilient; they will be right back just like those dandelions.

Get to the root of the matter!

You have to deal with the underlying cause of the problem. And to do that, you need faith that God, through His Holy Spirit, will guide you and strengthen you. He will let you know the hate is stemming from the root—the devil. If your main focus is on what people are doing to you, then you have done nothing but cut off a few flower heads. Be opened to hear what the Spirit has to say about you; He’ll let you know if the enemy is using you to contribute to the dissension in any kind of way. You want to make sure you attack the entire root; no matter where pieces might be hiding.

Spirit vs. spirit!

This is a spiritual war that must be fought using spiritual means. It says in Ephesians 6:12 that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities in high places. The battle will take place in the root. Therefore, don’t be so concerned with what you see, the action is taking place where you can’t see.

When you are fed up, I mean—really fed up, you’ll stop cutting off the flowers and attack the root—the evil spirit inside that person. The enemy is counting on you to be too afraid to confront these spirits. Don’t be afraid, if you are a born-again Christian, the devil is more afraid of you than you are of Him. When you have a revelation of who you are in Christ, the Holy Spirit will fight for you; all you have to do is be obedient to His instructions.

How to remove unwanted roots:

1. Get to know God intimately; develop an ongoing personal loving relationship with Him. Spend quality (daily) time in His presence by reading His Word, praying, and listening to His instructions.
2. Not only listen to His instructions, but obey them! God speaks His instructions in many different ways including but not limited to: His Word, peace, an inner gut feeling/an inner knowing, other people, wisdom, and visions. If you’re having problems discerning His voice, ask for the Holy Spirit’s help.
3. If God so instructs, get a prayer group and form a spiritual invisible chain (see Matthew 18:18-20).
4. Submit your flesh under the obedience of the Holy Spirit; react and respond to this person the way the Spirit wants you to. The Fruit of the Spirit is a perfect guardrail. (See Galatians 5:22.)
5. Overcome evil with good (see Romans 12:21). Personally, I find this to be a whole lot of fun. The enemy doesn’t know how to respond to love; it makes him as helpless as a fish out of water.
6. DON’T LET UP!!!!
7. If the Lord so instructs, fast (see Matthew 17:14-21; Mark 9:16-29).

Since you turned the battle over to God, the next time you see this person smile and think:

 You have no idea!

You do know, there are people who don’t want to see others favored by the Lord. Sad to say, there are even church folks guilty of this. Their reasons can stem all the way from envy to—they feel the person doesn’t deserve to be blessed. Beware, not all smiling faces come from happy hearts; not all wishers are well-wishers. To put it bluntly: Haters simply don’t like others being favored over them.

Honey draws ants—favor draws haters.

If you are a recipient of God’s favor, people will wonder: Why do you always get the best jobs; make the best deals; and get the last turkey on sale? These are innocent questions that will intrigue the average person’s mind. On the other hand, if the person’s spirit is vexed, the devil will turn those harmless questions into something sinister. The enemy will draw these people to you, and use them to pull you away from your blessings.

Deception in plain view: The haters think you are their problem—when the devil is their problem.

Don’t trip on a hater’s hate!

Keep in mind—if you trip over their hatred by retaliating in an ungodly manner, you could miss what God has for you. Thank the Lord for His bountiful favor; and leave the haters scratching their heads in bewilderment.

If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31b)

God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours. (See Isaiah 55:9.)

Don’t waste your time trying to understand the omniscient mind of God. He chooses to favor whomever He wishes; whenever and how He pleases. Maybe a person is favored because they’re walking upright before God. Or, maybe He’s using favor to draw them closer to Him. Or, perhaps He wants others to see His goodness through them. Whatever His reasons are, they are His reasons; for His glorious plan.

God bestows favor for His purpose.

In Genesis 6:6-7, God said He regretted that He created humans because of their sinful ways; therefore, He decided to wipe them off the earth. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord; as a result, Noah was used for God’s purpose. In Ruth 2:15, God favored Ruth, and led Boaz to her. God had a purpose because this union became a part of Jesus’ lineage.

When we are favored, we are to view the advantages it brings as tools to be used for God’s overall purpose. It will be to our detriment if we allow anyone to deter us from the mission that we have been assigned.

On the flip side . . .

However, we must make sure we’re not one of the ones doing the hating. No one is above being deceived by the enemy. We might think we don’t have a jealous bone in our bodies, but he will try us. Paul said when he wanted to do good, evil was always present (see Romans 7:19-21).

We have no control over evil thoughts zooming into our minds, but we do have control not to take them under consideration.

In closing, don’t take your blessings for granted. Instead, praise God, honor Him with your obedience; and use your faith to humbly accept the fact that you have been favored by the Holy One; and haters can’t do a thing about it.

At this point in my life, I don’t have time to miss my target goals by guessing and supposing; done with that! I want to be taken by the hand, and literally led to where I’m supposed to be at every pivotal juncture in my life’s journey. Now, when I said I wanted to be led, I didn’t mean with just anybody. Truth be told, this “anybody” person needs to be led, too. I want to be led by the One who custom designed the path that I should take; I’m talking about the omniscient Holy Spirit. The One who leads with precise precision; no mishaps, missteps, or wasted time. I want to reach my destinations, and accomplish all my remaining dreams; on time—every time.

Led by precise precision—can’t miss!

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He promised all those who accepted Him as Savior, that the Holy Spirit would come to live inside of them. Even today, the Holy Spirit dwells in those who accept Christ. Though, it takes revelation knowledge to understand the awesome gift the Father has given to His children. Think about it, His Spirit, with all His power, wisdom, creativity, strength, and discernment, just to name a few attributes, abiding on the inside of every believer. Have you grasped what all that means? As for me, I’m still trying to take it all in; however, I am making tremendous progress.

How to get precisely from point A to point Z?

In John 16:7 (AMP), the Holy Spirit is described as: Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, and Standby. Everything that we’ll need in order to navigate through life successfully is living inside us—all the time. There’s no reason for us to be confused or afraid about anything when we have the Spirit of God willing to lead and protect us. He knows precisely who we should trust—or not; He knows precisely what we should say—or not say; He knows precisely what’s behind doors 1, 2, 3. . .  He knows precisely where all the skeletons are buried, and who buried them.

Supernatural help available!

I can see cause for us to rely on each of the Holy Spirit’s characteristics all day—every day.

• Which ones did you rely on yesterday?
• Which ones are you relying on today?
• If you didn’t rely on the Spirit, then who did you rely on?

Jesus didn’t promise us a life without tribulations (see John 16:33). The roads along our journey will have bumps here and there, splits and snares, dark creepy valleys paved with clawing demons, but the Holy Spirit is not moved by any of it. He’ll interpret and console our moans and groans, all the while fighting our battles. If we keep in step; listen and obey His instructions, He’ll get us to where He wants us to be—every time—on time—hitting every target with precise precision.

Are we walking in the certainty of faith or by the uncertainty of luck? Christians will tell you they don’t believe in luck; nevertheless, unconsciously they could be operating from a position of luck/chance more than they realize. The thought that the enemy could slyly infiltrate luck, happenstance into our belief system is controversial; however, it should not be shoved off as nonsense. If we are basing our faith on “how lucky we feel,” then that’s worthy of our attention. We might not use that expression per se, but still the thought of it could be a factor in our obedience to move forward in faith.

God might answer my prayer vs. God will answer my prayer

Recently, I did a post called: Possible! In that writing, I said I wanted to learn as much about faith as God would allow; I wanted to be able to do everything He said I can do through His Son—leaving no stones unturned. Well, the Holy Spirit heard my request; the almighty Teacher led me to read and study the book of Acts.

As I was reading, I couldn’t help but notice how the apostles spoke in the confidence of Jesus Christ. In Acts 3:6 when Peter and John were approached by a lame man asking for arms at the temple, Peter declared, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” Peter spoke in a clear imperative voice. Nowhere, in his statement reflects the wavering sound of “by chance.”

When Peter spoke—Heaven responded!

While Paul was preaching in Lystra, he noticed a man who happened to be crippled. Paul said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on thou feet.” The man leaped and walked (see Acts 14:8-10). Think about the confidence Paul had to have had for him to be able to speak in a loud voice before witnesses. Paul didn’t base his assertion on luck, instead he spoke assuredly that the man would walk—and so he did.

Who wants to look foolishly if desired results are not produced?   

After completing the book of Acts, I asked the Holy Spirit why don’t we see more of these signs and wonders in the church today? In Mark 16:17-18, it says that these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

God has given us a measure of faith; plus, the backing of His Word to go forth!

According to Hebrews 11:1 (AMP), Faith is the assurance (confirmation) of things hoped for. The word assurance eliminates the notion of luck. First John 5:14-15 (AMP) tells us that the confidence we have in Him (God), gives us the privilege to ask anything according to His will, and He listens and hears us. And if we positively know that He listens, we know with settled and absolute knowledge that we have the requests made.

Is your faith built on the assured power of God?

The Holy Spirit revealed to me that those apostles were able to speak with such certainty because they were able to hear the Spirit; therefore, they were able to carry out His will. Their acute hearing was because of the close intimate relationship they had with the Father. God is no respecter of persons; just like with the apostles, we can have the same closeness if we so desire (see Psalm 145:18; James 4:8).

Self-analysis: Am I walking more by faith or by luck?

It’s ideal when you can have a car, a suit, or even a burger made according to your desired specifications—hold the pickles, grill the onions, bacon and tomatoes, please. But some things are already perfected—right off the showroom floor or straight off the rack; no addons or deletions necessary. Case in point—the Word of God!

Can’t edit what’s nonnegotiable.

The devil is more than pleased to oblige anyone with his made-to-order version of the “word.” His pliable adaptation fluidly fits into the lifestyles of those who are willing to substitute the Holy Spirit for a powerless shadow of godliness. You see, his translation cast heavy fog over the nonnegotiable conditions attached to God’s comforting promises. When those conditions are disregarded, we can forget about those blessings coming to pass.

The Sword

The adversary acknowledges the Sword—the unabridged Word. He knows the Sword is the weapon God gave His people to use against the corrupt kingdom of darkness (see Ephesians 6:17). That’s why he will cunningly take every opportunity to put a breach between us and what saith the Lord. He aggressively, yet sneakily, works to undermine our understanding of what’s written. He knows full-well the Word spoken in faith will pierce through wicked principalities and cancel out its plans.

Faith (accidently) compromised!

It’s easy to fall for this made-to-order counterfeit if we’re not paying attention; we can’t depend on the world (the enemy) to clarify the Word to us. Psalm 1:1 tells us not to take counsel from the ungodly. Ungodly interpretations will have a profound impact on our faith and on our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Before long, we’ll start thinking: “This faith stuff doesn’t work.” As I stated previously, it’s not going to work if the prerequisites of the Word aren’t met. Faith that is connected to the power of the Holy Spirit—Works!

Your faith attached to God’s power—Oh My Lord!

However, God’s power comes with a price tag: A surrendered-uncompromised life to Christ. The made-to-order edition accepts easy “do it your way” payments.

         The Word                                                          Made-to-order

• Keep My commandments                                 Up-to-date edition only
• Love                                                                   Only “certain” people
• Forgive                                                               Within limitations
• Vengeance is Mine                                             Payback!!!
• Humility                                                              Superiority
• Kindness                                                             Cruelty
• Give                                                                    Take

The Word—NOT made-to-order!

You would think I would have a pretty firm grip on faith since I write about it every week. But I already told you, I’m not a faith expert; I’m just someone who is humbly determined to learn as much about faith as God will allow. I want to be able to do everything He said I can do through His Son—leaving no stones unturned. It just so happens He’s teaching me on the world’s stage through a blog. But I don’t mind, as long as I’m learning how to maximize this amazing gift. Hopefully, what He’s teaching me, will help others. Let me share the latest revelation I received about a week ago.

“It’s” possible because “it” will be done supernaturally, by God. 

The Holy Spirit enlightened me that He knew I was trying to live my life by faith—which is good. But I was still depending too much on the mechanics; all the what’s, why’s, if’s, and wherefores had to be somewhat answered before I could believe. I wasn’t acting like I knew faith exceeds the limitations of man. Since I’m in this world but not of this world (see John 17:16), I should start thinking more supernaturally like the world I’m headed to.

God wants me to believe from a supernatural realm where faith isn’t dependent on the natural order of things. You see, subconsciously I ran everything through a logical filter: reasonableness, sensibleness, and soundness all of which can become—faith destroyers.

Believe in God’s ability—over yours.

Think about this: The miracles that were made possible in the Bible were done, by God, through ordinary people like you and me: Gideon’s clan was the weakest in Manasseh, and he was the least in his family (see Judges 6:15). Elijah was a man with a nature like ours (see James 5:17). Jeremiah was concerned that he was too young to be used by God (see Jeremiah 1:6-7).

God chooses the weak things of this world to confound the things which are mighty (see 1 Corinthians1:27). He receives all the glory when His power shines through frail vessels. But even though Heaven is fueling the power, we still have plenty of work to do:

1. Submit our lives over to God.
2. Develop an intimate relationship with Him.
3. Fight the good fight of faith by lifting the shield of faith when fears and doubts creep in; use the Word to slay anything contrary to what the Lord says. (See Ephesians 6:16-17.)
4. Stay encouraged and wait for His perfect timing to make it possible.

Now here’s the hardest part:

5. Ask God to help you accept His will if it differs from yours (see Luke 22:42). When you genuinely accept His plan, it frees you from the enemy’s torment.
6. When our prayers are in alignment with God’s will, all things are possible.

… With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).

Two closing remarks:

• The devil told me if I make any attempts to strengthen my faith, I’m asking for trouble because faith has to be tested. However, he left out one important detail; faith will be tested—developed or not. So, it’s best for me to have my arsenal pointing straight at him; fully powered up, and ready to fire—24/7.

• I had written another writing for this week, but at the last-minute God changed it to “Possible!” Is He sending you the message Possible for such a time as this?

How absurd is it to jimmy a lock when you have the key in your hand? Here’s another absurdity, Christians who struggle with worries and fears when they have the Holy Spirit residing in them. There’s no rationale for Christians to be burnt-out when they have the third person of the Holy Trinity dwelling inside of them. Jesus told His disciples that it was good that He go away because the Father will send them the Holy Spirit.

. . . But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you (John 14:26, AMP).

Sometimes we might act like we have it “altogether” not wanting or needing God’s help. Many times, that’s not the case at all, it’s more about us not fully understanding the revelation of the awesome power within us. In 1 Peter 5:7, we are told to cast our cares. In John 14:27, Jesus said that He left His peace with us, and we shouldn’t be troubled neither afraid. Our job, however, is to purposefully fight the good fight of faith and receive the peace we have been given through Christ. (Also, see: Matthews 11:28-30; Psalms 23:4; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.)

An unopened bottle of faith

Consequently, as soon as your spirit becomes agitated, it’s an indication to put your faith into action. Don’t wait until you have exhausted all your friends and self-help techniques before you call on the Holy Spirit’s help. Because when you do that, you have subconsciously relegated your relationship with Him to an after-thought—your plan Z. To prevent this from happening, get into the habit of calling on the Spirit throughout the day. Include Him in what you might consider “mundane” tasks. Go ahead ask Him; you know you wanna’ know: “Which watermelon is the sweetest?”

The more we practice involving the Holy Spirit in our everyday routines, the more faith we’ll have to avoid burnouts when trouble strikes. If we think grabbing an unopened bottle of faith off the shelf is going to move mountains—well, think again.

God’s Word is not plan Z; nor is His Spirit to be ignored. Joseph M. Scriven, author of the beloved hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” summed it up when he wrote:

O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
