Hello friends! What do you do when things aren’t the way they should be? What do you do while you wait for a prayer to be answered.
I have 11 scriptures for you today that will give you direction, stir your faith, and give you hope.
What do you do when things are not the way they need to be? First, God wants us to do what only we can do. Then we go to Him and pray for Him to do what only He can do.
Here are 11 scripture promises that God gives as a protocol to follow. For a believer in Jesus Christ, to follow every day. It is an equation that God uses in His Word for us to follow and to use.
- Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the Devil and He will flee from you, Come near to God and he will come near to you.” (James 4:7,8)
- “Lay your requests in the morning before the Lord, and then wait expectantly to see what God will say, and how He will lead. (Psalm 5:3)
- “Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes…”(Ephesians 6:10,11 NIV)
- “Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then,” (Ephesians 6:13,14 NIV)
- “But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” (2 Chronicles 15:7)
- “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)
- “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)
- “For no word from God will ever fail.” (Luke 1:37)
- “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” (Luke 18:1)
- “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
- “For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7,8)
God wants you to be interactive in your faith. His Word directs you to submit to Him, draw close to Him, while resisting the Devil.
What the Devil is doing opposes God’s purpose and plan. He is to be resisted every time.
What do you do?
What do you do while you wait for your prayer to be answered? The protocol is to pray, praise, and make your requests to God. Ask Him for the things you need.
Draw close to Him and submit your life to Him.
Resist the Devil. The Name of Jesus is a powerful way to get rid of the Devil. Pray it and say it.
Put on the armor of God-be battle prepared. Don’t go into battle uncovered. God has provided the armor of God for protection, and He tells us to put it on and wear it. (Ephesians 6)
Pray and put it on yourself and your family.
God is equipping you
God is equipping you to be alert, prepared, ready, covered and armed instead of asleep, unprepared, shocked and confused for what has come against you.
God is for you and God has given you what you need to face what you are facing.
Finally, don’t grow weary. I know we pray and wait. I have prayed for certain things for over 40 years, and I am still waiting, yet there are other things I have prayed for and instantly they’ve come to pass.
Keep praying.
God is trustworthy. God is faithful.
