No child that has ever been born on this earth has a choice as to whether to be conceived or not...save for One. One Baby actually did choose to be conceived, to be knit together by God in His mother's womb & carried for nine months, to be born and to live on purpose. He chose to be born because He had chosen to rescue us from sin and death. He is the only One who chose to be born. He chose for you and me. Grace upon grace.
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...
