2020, August – Answers from Jesus seemed far, when fixed on my problems, not on His promises believing.

Humbly I have become aware of my practiced unbelief, and lest you fall into the trap of reading and mouthing the words, with passing belief but not earnest, total  persevering application, and then realize a dearth of blessing, peace and real prayer answers; I mention it.

Therefore I will just give a few of the texts, that I am using with application, believing God answers His word as written.  I have not long been so urgently, pressing into God’s presence, more times in short prayer and claiming Bible Text/s often; apart from formal prayers, each day.  God is patient, and impresses me, with thoughts I so much need to now enact.

Psalm 91: 14, 15 “The Lord says, ‘I will rescue those who love Me.  I will rescue those who trust in My name.  When they call on Me, I will answer, I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honour them.”  (All God asks of us is to love, trust, call on Him and He will be with us and do, truly a loving good God toward us always.)

Isaiah 27:5 “Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with Me, and He shall make peace with Me.”

Isaiah 26 3 “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”  (Having trouble keeping stayed on God, I find pray, believe and keep on, and God changes me over time or quickly, to be able to stay mentally fixed on Him.)

Jesus said, John 14: 27 “Peace I leave with you.  My peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

There are several texts, in which Jesus refers to the person having faith in Him, being the reason they were made well.  There are many different types of being made well, and God still today responds to someone’s request based on their faith in His words, for them being made well or whole.  Mark 10:51, 52 “So Jesus answered and said to him, ‘What do you want Me to do for you?’  The blind man said to Him, ‘Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.  Then Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well.”

I praise God that He impressed me to claim these words, for healing of an issue and associated significant fear.  I struggled to keep applying these words to my need over and over, realizing Jesus says them and they are true, and with my faith in Jesus it would be true for me also, and he would deliver me, and He has.

I thank God, from the bottom of my heart that He is teaching me to stay much closer to Him, even when my feelings preoccupy me.
