THE UNSEEN IS MIGHTIER

Acts 12:1-12

Faith does not reckon on things seen but on things unseen. Prison and chains and armed guards would be circumstances that would seem unalterable. Who does not know a hard-pressed situation when everything seems bound tight against us? But there need be no prison nor chain nor guard on one’s spirit. One may always pray. Peter’s body became as free as was his spirit, and he walked out from prison and chain and guard. So may we—if we will.

Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

THE PRAYER HINGE

Matthew 7:7-14

We read about “ask,” “seek,” “knock,” and the definite results. It sounds beautiful, easy, thus far. But there are always conditions. We all want results. And he wants us to have the results. That is why he tells us so plainly how to live so that our prayers will get and find and open. The prayer hinges on the life. The life hinges on obedience. Obedience hinges on a set purpose and his grace.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

OUR OBEDIENCE HELPS GOD

Psalms 145:8-19

It is a sweet thing to read about how close God is. But when you know him personally, and are conscious of his presence, so that he is the most real of all realities, then the heart understands this psalm of praise. It is the obedient life that knows. Obeying him opens his hand; obedience to him results in our desires being fulfilled. Obey, and you’ll never be disappointed in him, and you’ll be singing psalms, and talking of his power.

1 John 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

THINGS HAPPEN

Luke 11:1-13

When we know Jesus we are perfectly confident that he hears us. He is so eager to have us come, with our hearts pure and our prayers insistent against the opposition of the evil one. And Jesus has never yet failed anyone who has asked out of an obedient life and an insistence against the power of the evil one. When we forgive even as we desire forgiveness, and expect because of Jesus’ blood, things happen.

1 John 5:14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

DISBELIEF DOESN’T ALTER FACTS

Matthew 7:24-27

Truth is not affected by whether one believes it or not. God tells us in his Word what is right. He tells us the consequences of obedience and also of disobedience. The decision always lies in one’s own power of choice. Most of us hear; fewer of us seem to do the thing we know. Why is it? Is it because the evil one opposes anyone who hears God’s Word? Let’s strive to do all we know.
