Testings of our Faith Through Prayer

In Luke18:1-8 is the story of Jesus speaking in parables to His deciples telling them that men ought to Pray and not Faint. He then shared about a judge who feared not God neither regarded man.  A widow came to him saying avenge me of mine adversarys.  And he would not for a while;  but afterward he said within himself.  Though I fear not God nor regard man; Yet because of this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her lest by her continual comming she weary me.

 And the Lord said; Hear what the unjust judge said.  And shall not God avenge His own elect, (His children)  which cry day (pray)  and night unto Him, though He bear long with them.

 I tell you ( He Will Avenge Them Speedily)  Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh,  shall He find faith on this earth.   Meaning will you believe (have faith and persistance)  believing God will intervene on your behalf.

God is saying to us He desires to help us when we pray and cry out to Him when we are in trouble of any kind.  He is letting us know this is true faith!  Trusting and believing in Him!
 If this King finally gave in and helped this woman ,  How much more will God come to our rescue!

I remember the story of China Cry when Nora Lamb who was to become a missionary to China was prisoned for her Faith in God was going to be shot by a firing squad.
As the soldiers fired at her all the bullets they went astray!  Again they tried then finaly frightened by what was  happening ran off because something unexplainable was comming between their bullets keeping them from killing her!  God took care of the situation through a bright light so strong it  blinded their sight!  Probrably Huge Angelic beings shinning with Gods Glory! Haleluliah!!

Later pregnant with child, God again miraculously intervened by keeping the infant safe in her womb till the prison doors opened for her ( miraculous release).   She was well past her due time by 2 more monthes or more when she was freed and out of harms way to deliver her child, as God lovingly directed her to safety.  Now late in her yearsNora Lamb has shared her miracaulous story to countless millions  bringing the truth of Christs love to her people and all over the world!

In a book I read about prayers of Famous Patriots, George Washington seing his troops freezing in the cold, clothes worn out and starving.  He retreated into the woods and with loud crys to God  praying for a mighty intervention lest they all die!  Soon men cane running to him in such exitment for what they saw was nothing short of a miracle!  The river became flooded with fish actualy jumping out of the water  and on to the shores for them to eat!  This phenomenon miraculously saved their lives! Keeping them alive till help came.

There were many miraculous events that took place at Desert Storm not so long ago, as our troops recounted storys on a Christian talk program of what had to be unusual acts of God that took place that were totally unbelievable in the natural.  These unusual happenings Saving them and from death through countless unexplainable experiences.

God does hear our prayers and He also loves to show Himself powerfull as we truly get down to  business and pray, as this woman in the bible did!  And the countless Bible storys continually showing us how God desires to come to our rescue as He hears our crys for His help!

I have had many mighty interventions from this kind of persistant praying just like I have formerly   mentioned.  Some of them when I really did nothing but cry! This is  counted as deep intercessions when nothing comes out except moanings and deep groanings for His mercy and deliverance.  Beloved of God!  He hears Your Loving call  to Him in your desperation and  WILL Rescue YOU! And bring your answer even if it comes differently than you expected it to!

  I could give scripture after scripture of these mighty acts of God throuhout the Bible, But you can read all the accounts and be so Blessed by God as you read them for Yourself.  Thre is an annointing that fills your Spirit with New Faith as you alone learn to do this daily. It's called the washing of the word of God.  It will cleanse You,  bringing needed deliverance, Freedome, Love, and Faith! into Your Life! .

God Bless You! as you have FAITH even as a mustard seed.  keep on Praying and Seeking God ! and don't ever give up!
