God Has Been Listening And He Has Heard Your Prayers | Powerful Motivational & Inspirational Video
if there’s something in your heart that you’ve been petitioning god for and you’re yet to receive i want to challenge you to really look at your life to see if you’re prepared for it when praying to god it’s important to do it in the right way i don’t mean to have a bunch of rules but rather to have the right attitude and belief god loves to interact with his children and prayer is the main way to do this his will is for believers to be blessed and live abundantly but his will is also that his followers remain loyal and respectful to him and praying is something that should be done daily as there’s always someone in need somewhere praying isn’t only done for ourselves but it’s meant to be done for all situations and people and god expects us to pray he expects us to pray intercessory prayers and to pray for blessings for other people even our enemies but of course god expects us to pray for our own needs and our household and our family members so sometimes we struggle to remember that it’s good to wait for the lord i know it’s not easy i know it goes against the grain of our quick fix society there’s a hidden benefit in waiting and that’s what i want us to talk about you see in times of waiting our soul is revived and our spirit is renewed isaiah wrote but those who trust in the lord he will renew their strength and they will sow on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary and they will walk enough faith the time will come when those who wait on the lord were soul i may not understand what you’ve been waiting for it could be to get married it could be peace in your family it could be a job it could be a child it could be a male child or a female child or it could be healing it could be prosperity it could be an intimate relationship with a loved one but one thing i’m certain about is that god’s time is the best and god will never disappoint you and when we receive what we fail to make room for we can end up feeling overwhelmed and that can lead to self-sabotage you begin to subconsciously work against yourself for example beware of willful negligence yeah that’s right beware when you willfully ignore something that is very important to you we often worry ourselves so much about things ahead that we never get started doing what we need to do in the present double-mindedness sets in and james chapter 1 verse 6 says but let him ask in faith with no doubting for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea tossed by by the wind some days you’re motivated and sometimes you’re not some days you’re confident others not so much this is doubt and it’s a faith killer negative internal dialogue and low self-esteem can creep up and when your life is led by god you will frequently be challenged on your identity but before we go after the things we want we should be securing who god has created us to be now good mental health requires knowing who we are and loving who we are resistance to address things that stunt our growth we need spiritual strength and maturity to take these things on now refusing to confront your issues would disqualify us for many of our hearts desires how can we hold on to the lord’s blessings when we’re broken isolation is a trick a good mentor goes a long way now the question is do you have big dreams then you need to surround yourself with people who have been there who’ve done it you need to surround yourself with people who can give you the guidance that you need whatever it is that you’re believing for start preparing for it and if your heart longs to start a business but you just do not see how you’re ever going to have the finances for it talk it out with god after talking to him dig your ditch if you’re walking in a dead-end job and it seems you’re not getting anywhere and it seems it’s not where your heart is start buying a wardrobe that will fit your new job start wearing those new clothes to work start dressing for the position and the success that you’re preparing for matthew chapter 25 verse 15 says and onto one he gave five talents to another two to another one and to each according to his several ability and he went on to his journey straight away and he that received the five talents went and traded with him and made other five talents and in a like manner he also that received the two gained other two but he that received the wound went away and digged in the earth and he hid his lord’s money what a pity and then the master does something amazing now when the master was handing out talents it says he gave them according to their ability so the master knew what they could handle and what they could not handle servants number one and two we see they prepared to multiply their talents their master gave them five and two talents and they returned to him 110 and the other four talents however the servant that was given one talent we see he had not prepared for his talent and his mindset had not shifted to a place where he was able to receive the blessings of god and so there are many things that we’re praying for and expecting god to do for us in this season of our lives but many of us are praying for new homes relationships careers opportunities but we have to remember that with the blessings come responsibility that’s right for every new level that you get into instead of less responsibilities you have more responsibilities so in order for us to show god that we can be trusted with a new responsibility we have to show him that we are prepared to receive it and we do that by showing him how we can handle what we already have and as it pertains to a new home how are you using the one that you have now have you opened it up to be a blessing to others are you faithful to the career or job that god has blessed you with now what’s your career what’s your career like what’s your character like on your current job are you completing assignments on time are you operating outside your job description are you willing to do what it takes to advance the organization do you arrive on time as it pertains to relationships are you considerate of others are you in the mindset that relationship requires servitude how are you showing god that you’re prepared to receive what you’ve prayed for you see a blessing that is not well prepared for can destroy you and god is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask think or imagine according to his power that is our work in us so god is telling us we need to increase our capacity if we are going to ever be able to carry those things that he has in store for us we need to increase in our capacity so what is that talent you have what’s that thing that god has given to you if you don’t know the talent you have take time with god and ask him to show you but if you do know the talent you have work on it increase it multiply it and god will give you much more i see you increasing i see you getting better i see you moving into a new phase of your life and those blessings that you have prepared for god in his infinite mercies will grant them to you god bless you you
