WHAT TO DO NEXT

1 Thessalonians 5:18 Be thankful in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

Yesterday we looked at having great expectation, believing we’ve received our answer, even before we see it. The Holy Spirit tells us in our verse one of the things to do next.😊

Jesus doesn’t say to keep asking over and over again in Mark 11:22-25. He taught His disciples to ask, receive, and to speak to things. When we’ve asked our Heavenly Father to fulfil His promise we need to know that not one word of all His promises has ever failed. (Joshua 21:45)

So one of our next steps is to tell whatever is bothering us to be removed and to start thanking God for the answer that’s on its way. Thank God all through the day that He is the One who is healing us, the One who is providing for us. In my case I need to say ‘Thank You Lord for providing me with a good night’s sleep’ before I see it!😊

The enemy tries to throw up everything in our way to make us doubt God’s word, to make us think it’s not happening but let me encourage you to dig your heels in and say ‘Thank You Lord for answering my prayer, it’s on the way. Thank You for healing me, for restoring health back to me, thank you Lord even though I can’t see it yet, You always do what Your word says.’

I’m sure we’ve all complained or begged God to do things but I’m learning the more I complain I hinder what God is doing because God can’t reward our complaining but He can reward our faith. 

Maybe you’re thinking ‘I don’t have much faith any more’. Let me encourage you by telling you, you do still have faith. You got saved by faith, God Himself lives in you and He brought His faith with Him and put it in you. So don’t listen to the enemy’s lies!

Instead may I encourage you as we start another week to turn what may look like the enemy’s defeats into God’s victories with your thanksgiving. Give the enemy a headache and praise our God, He is mighty to save and He always keeps His promises. 

I pray you have a blessed week.😊
