God has revealed His Nature and Character (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) to us in time, in space, by Word and deed. The Eternal Trinity desires to continue to display the fullness of His Character and Nature through His people. He has given us His Life, His Salvation, and the Power of His Spirit. We are meant not only to know, but to overflow. It’s not just for information or the formulation of dogma that He’s made Himself known! He did so to redeem us, unite us to Himself, fill us with His Presence...to rescue the crown of His creation from sin & death…to display His Glory.
PRAYER Jesus Christ NEVER taught on what we call "unanswered prayer." James wrote that a divided loyalty between trusting the Lord God for life and at the same time relying on the world's systems to get what you want will result in you not getting anything from God you may have prayed about. God will never reinforce the unbelief that flows from divided loyalty. THAT is not unanswered prayer. That is God saying, "No." to your request. God saying, "No." to your requests is not unanswered prayer. It is His grace. His "No" is just what I would want if I knew what He knows. The Lord also answers with, "Not now; not yet." because we are not yet prepared to receive what we think we need. God works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. If I am praying for something God wants to do in me and the Holy Spirit is working in me preparing me to receive what God has in store, His "Not yet." is NOT unanswered prayer. As we see...
