Past Due Promises

Hebrews 11:11

God has afforded us the priviledge of prayer. When prayer is used correctly it moves God. Once u learn the art of intercesion u don't have to talk to so many men & women & so on b/c u can do it urself. Prayer is transitioning b/c he moves from being ur God into ur friend. The more u pray the more ur faith grows. We must first believe he is who he says he is & he will do what he says he will do. Push out doubt & fear & believe! God was impressed with the fact that Abraham believed, not b/c he was so righteous or holy but just b/c he had pure faith & therefore he was blessed. Faith cometh from hearing & hearing cometh from the word. Order my steps in ur word Lord. The word changes me, prepares me, councils me & leads me to my destiny. Romans 12 -excercise ur faith like a muscle so that u can use it. You can't flex a muscle u don't have in a fight! Faith has to be developed. There are 3 stages to developing ur faith: Believing, conceiving, & then recieving. That's how Sara received her blessings, she believed it down in her heart. Don't let ppl help u!! Take it back from ppl & put it in him. A lot of us are dealing with past due promises b/c we won't let go & let God. Trust the Lord even when u can't see ur way. U better stop laughing at God like Sara did! Even though she laughed like, yea right lol! God gave her another chance. He said she hasn't been through enough in her life yet with God to have a womb strong enough to carry a baby & when u, Sara, get tired of ppl lying on u & failing u then maybe just maybe u will have faith in God & birth ur past due promises. Healing manifests in ur spirit b4 it manifests in ur body! You have to see it to have it & u will never recieve if u can't concieve. See urself being free, see urself birthing ur success, see urself recieving it, see urself coming out of whatever it is ur in!!! If u can't concieve someone loving u, spending thier pay check on u, caring for u it won't happen. Realize that it is a priviledge for someone to be with u cuz if u dont God will give a blessing to someone else! Don't be hooked on the struggle so much that u get stuck there & u can't see urself coming out. If u stuck between believing & concieving u got to put in some work. If u don't know how to, get behind someone who is reaping and follow them, do what their doing. If u will reach for it, it's just a matter of time. When u concieve it changes ur walk, u can't play any more, u start hungering & thirsting for God, u start making room for development & growth, I can't hang with u no more, I will step all over u to get to my God! You stop doing some things & start doing some other things b/c once u concieve & get ready to give birth u can only give birth in a steril environment. U better clean it up!! Prayer causes ur water to break & when ur water breaks it eases ur delivery...when we pray & lift up HOLY hands it speaks of concercration (a God awareness). Prayer will hold ur life together, drive out suicidal thoughts, drive out depression! Not just cute or whimpy prayers but soul searching prayers. Let a man examin himself prayer, search me Lord that I may not have wicked thoughts. Not Lord give me a car or a house or a new job, but real prayer b/c real prayer will humble u, break u! Only the pure at heart see God. Prayer until his will becomes his will, until ur desires become his & u begin to act like him & respond the way that God would. Whatever u are carrying u are going to have to bear down and push it out urself! Between coming to birth & being birthed u only have a window. Don't miss ur due date & lose what uve been carrying. Get in that steril place and pray & push it out! Once u start feeling pressure it's a sign that u are about to recieve! Hold on to God until he helps u! It may be lonely but it's the price u pay to be who u are. Your next anointing & diminsion is coming through prayer so reach for him & he will give u strength to recieve all ur past due promises.
