Hey, Hey, I'm back with something for you to think about. You
need to hear this today. Someone need to hear it. When you feel
that God does not hear you, What do you do when you're praying and
praying and praying, but you just feel that you're not getting an answer.
You don't feel that God hears you. What you do? You keep on
praying. You keep on praying, because the Bible says the race is not
given to the swift nor the strong, but to the one who endure to
the end. Remember, we walk by faith and not by sight. Oh,
sometimes it's difficult. Sometimes we get a little bit discouraged. People can
say that they don't We're human, We're still flesh and bone and blood.
So sometimes we do get a little discouraged. But let me tell you,
do not stay there. Because the trick of the enemy is to distract you.
That is his job to distract you, to knock you off of your
game. Let me tell you, do not fall for it. Do not
fall for it. Whatever you're going through, if God brought you to it,
he would definitely help you through it. Do not give up. He
hears every cry, he hears every plea, he hears every call. He
may not come when you want him, but he's always on time. Sometimes
we're so selfish. All we do is pray for this, pray for that,
but we're not praying for those things that going to help us reach eternal
life with the Father. We worry about everything else. So sometimes God makes
us wait. But don't give up just because you don't feel your prayers are
answering. God hears you, He hears you, He knows when to intervene.
He always come one time. It may not look like it, it
may not feel like it, but he always shows up on time. So
don't give up. Stay encouraged, Stay around good people who are going to
encourage you. Stay around people who are gonna do the right thing. Sometimes
we look around it what's going on in this world, and it is it's
so discouraging, it really is. Sometimes you have to back away, back
off from the TV, from the computers, from all the things that brings
nothing but drama, tragedy, trauma. Sometimes you have to back away from
that technology. And every day you should find yourself in prayer. At some
point, get close to the Lord, and no matter if you feel discouraged,
no matter if you feel you're not being hurt. You are being hurt.
The devil wants you to be discouraged. He wants you to get that,
get that in your head, But he's a lie. He's already a
defeated folk. Don't fall for it. Know that God hears your crises,
he hears your please, but he's gonna move on his time, not yours.
So many people want to give up. That's because you have no root.
You want to give up and let go because you have no root.
You have to get rooted. Get rooted by getting in the word of God,
getting closer to the Lord. Living as though your goal is heaven.
Not for what other people say, but because you know the Master, who
sit high and look low, sees, hears and knows it all. So
don't get discouraged. Do not get to a point where you feel God don't
love you. God don't care because he don't hear you. That's not true.
It's not true at all. So don't feel like that. Just keep
going, keep praying without cease. You gotta tarry sometime. That means you
gotta stay there. You gotta keep praying, keep pressing, keep pushing,
never give up. So many people give up when their breakthrough was right around
the corner. They didn't make it to their breakthrough because they gave up.
Stay in the fight, stay in the race. The battle is already won,
but we still must stay in the race. Victory is ours, but
we must stay in the race. A lot of people just think, oh,
Jesus gave us salvation. Salvation is free, then I should have a
free ticket to Heaven. Well you do, but you gotta do what is
required to get there. It's free. So don't let the devil fool you
do. Not be discouraged. Don't give up, don't let go. Keep
your eyes on the prize, keep your head on the plow, keep going
forward in the Lord. Just keep praying, keep talking to him, keep
believing, keep the faith. Believe that you have power, Activate your power,
and move forth in the Lord. I don't care what anyone says.
I don't care what they do. Keep believing that Jesus is real. Keep
believing that God is who he say he is. He's the same as he
always being. So just hold on, never give up. And I know
sometimes it's hard. I know because truly, if you really really really really
really really are about God's business, Oh, this thing gets lonely sometimes because
people that you love they walk away from you. They turn their backs on
you because you're not doing what they're doing. So when you're not doing what
people are doing, they have the tendency of not going to be around you
when you're trying to live right, they don't want to be around you.
They don't. So sometimes it get a little lonely. You're a lone a
lot. But it's okay, it's gonna pass. It's going to pass.
Never ever, ever, ever given to any other mess the devil trying to
bring before you, telling you people don't love you, people don't want to
be around you, this and that. Oh well, you don't give anyone
your power anyways, so that shouldn't bother you. It's just a form of
distraction because the devil wants you to give up. The devil wants you to
let go. But like I said, he is already a defeated folk.
Don't let him fool you, him nor his little minions. So stay strong
in the Lord. It's gonna pay off after a while, and your reward
no one can touch it, no one, no one can give to you
what the Lord can. If you just stay in the race. If you
just believe and you keep holding on through all of your tests, through all
of your trials and tribulations that you may go through, keep holding on,
keep standing on the word of God. He's never gonna leave or forsake you.
He's right there. All you have to do is grab a on,
hold on tight, grab a good grip, never let go. Never give
up. When it seems tough, Hey, stand there, stick and stay
because it does get tough. Sometimes that's a part of life. You can't
have a good all the time. It won't always feel good. Sometimes it's
hard. But never give up. Never give in. Stay in the race.
Stay in the race because your reward will be great. No one can
touch it. It will be great. Don't miss out because you got discouraged.
Don't miss out because you got distracted. That's what the devil wants.
He wants you distract, distracted, he wants you feeling down, depressed,
alone, He wants all of that because he knew if he gets you in
that state of mind, he can pull you away. So that's why you
have to have a good grip. You have to have roots roots, so
nothing or no one can come and sway you to the left or to the
right, because you know whose side you're on. So don't be fooled by
the devil his angels, man, no one or nothing. Stay with the
Lord. Stay on the Lord's side, continue to trust and believe in him.
Know that he hears every cry, every prayer, He hears you,
and he will show up on his time. And it's always on time.
God is good, not sometimes, but all of the time. Just keep
asking for more strength, more faith, more power. Just believe that you're
everything God inte for you to be. Man will deceive you every time,
but God will never do that. So stay in the race. Know that
God is right here with you, right there with you, right here with
me, with us all of the time. He never forsakes us. People
forsake God. And yes, God sometimes do turn people over to reprobate minds,
those people who just don't want to change. They don't wanna do right,
They want to continue to do what they want to do and live a
hard life when they don't have to. So sometime God do turn people over
to reprobate minds when they don't want to let go to drugs, they don't
want to let go to alcohol, they want to continue to do the terrible
things they've been doing. Sometimes you turn you over to reprobate minds. He
takes his hands off of you. An oh, Lord, mmmmmmmmmm, have
mercy, because if you take his hand off of you, oh, that's
a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible situation to be in where God has
turned you over to a reprobate mind. So please stay in the race.
Never give up. Don't follow for discouragement. If it's not positive, turn
the other way. Stay positive, stay in the race, stay on the
Lord's side. And I promise you, I promise you you will have a
mansion in the Kingdom. You will walk those streets of God. Old.
Just know that God is with you. The Lord is with you. When
it's tough, just call on him. Just call on him. Don't let
the devil in your ear. Call on him. He's listening. Just cry
out, Lord, help me. Lord. I just feel I need a
double dose today. Lord, I can't make it. Lord, I need
you Jesus. Just call on him and allow the Holy Spirit to be ushered
in, because that's who Jesus left for us as as a comforter, the
Holy Spirit. So hang in there, my sister, my brother, hang
in there. God is always with you and he will never let you down.
I know sometimes you may not get what you want, but it may
not be what you need. God knows better than you know. I just
wanted to tell you, do not get discouraged. God hears you, he
sees you, He understands, he knows what's going on with you. He
feels your pain, He see your tears. Never give up. Lay whatever
it is at his feet. Don't go back and pick it up. Lay
it at his feet and leave it there. Because remember one thing. Faith.
Remember what it is. You gotta remember what it is. Faith is
the substance of things, hope for evidence of things not seen. So it's
intangible. It's intangible. But you must have faith. The Bible says,
if you don't have faith, you can't please the Lord. We must have
faith. So stay in the race, no matter what it looks like,
no matter what it feels like. No that you know that, you know
that God is standing by and he hears your crist. He will never forsake
you. Like I say, we forsake him, but he will never forsake
us. And I don't care who comes, who goes, It don't matter
God is still who he say he is. Now, there are a lot
of people who have made different people and different things their gods. But I'm
talking to true saints of God because we're made of flesh and bone and blood
too, and sometimes we allow that flesh to rise up. But you got
to know that Jesus is who he say he is. God is God.
And when that flesh begin to try to rise up, you know what to
do. Call on Jesus. Call on him. That's what he wants you
to do. Call on him. He's never busy. He's not gonna say,
hey, call me back, I'm on the phone with this person that
that person. No, you're not gonna run into any of that. Just
call out to him. So I just want to Encoura, would you never
give up, never give up, never let go, stay on the Lord's
side because that's where you belong. So many people choose their own path away
from the Lord. Now you know, I'm all about choosing a different path.
That it is positive when you've been raised in a bad situation, but
when it comes to the Lord, you're for him or against him, and
the path of Jesus there's the best way you can live your life is living
for him. That's the best place you could ever be. On the path
of Jesus, on the path of God, that's the best place you could
ever be. And no matter who come, no matter what what comes,
stay with the Lord because he hears your cries, he hear your please.
So don't give up. Just when you're going through and you're struggling the devil
know he's gonna keep throwing things at you, or he's gonna make things look
glorious to you because he's trying to break you down in such a way that
you leave the Lord. Don't allow that to happen, because the devil in
the world has nothing to offer you but damn nation and hell. That's it.
Everything glitters is not gold, Everything that feels good is not good for
you. Everything that looks good is not good. So stay on the Lord's
side, you, because that's where you belong and it's the best place you
could ever be. I'm leaving it right there. Thank you so much for
