The Beauty and Blessedness of Answered PRAYER!

This will be a very short article but I sincerely hope it inspires some of you to really appreciate and consider the POWER of PRAYER! And also the empowerment of the Word of God: THE BIBLE! This morning as it's usually my custom and habit I kneeled down to pray and I uttered these words to my Father in Heaven with DEEP sincerity of heart: "Abba Father, I am happy to be your child. I realize that there is no need for me to ever be pessimistic because I know you are for me, and if you are for me, who or what can be against me? Therefore, I will rejoice forevermore. Your kingdom in my life, Lord, does not consist of meat or drink, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Father, for the joy you've given to me. You are showing me the path of life, and I now understand that in your presence there is fullness of joy and at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. I want to stay in your presence, Lord, and I know I will never be pessimistic again when I am in your presence. I love you, Lord, even though I do not see you. I believe in you with all my heart, and I rejoice with unspeakable joy that is full of glory. Truly, my fellowship is with you, Father, and with your Son, Jesus Christ, and knowing this, my joy is full. Thank you for giving me your joy, Lord, which will remain within me and will always be full. Lord God, your joy is my strength. Thank you for filling me with the Holy Spirit. His fruit in my life consists of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. Help me to produce the fruit of your Spirit in all the relationships and responsibilities of my life this day. Help me to share your fruit with others. From this point forward, I want to walk worthy unto you with all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work. And increasing my knowledge of you. Through your grace, I will be strengthened with all might, according to your glorious power, unto all patience with joyfulness, and I will give thanks unto you, Father, because you have made it possible for me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. In Jesus' name, I pray, AMEN!"

You know when we pray we talk to God and when we read or study His Word: the Bible He speaks to us! So immediately after making that powerful prayer with my eyes closed and holding my Bible, I said these words: "Father please give me now a word of COMFORT, DIRECTION, and GUIDANCE this day!" And as I opened the Bible it opened on Isaiah the 54th Chapter verses 2-17 and here's what God answered to me in these verses: "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles (the heathen), and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is His name, and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall He be called. For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused (by this world), saith thy God. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with GREAT mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills are removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD, and GREAT shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shall thou be established: thou shall be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster (the destroyer) to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."

Now let's analyze a bit closer this response to my fervent prayer which God gave me: When He says "enlarge the place of thy tent" He is actually telling me to "Expand my horizons and my environment!" Which means to change the scenery and to get outside of my immediate surroundings. This is why I have been applying for work ALL OVER THE WORLD! When He tells me to "stretch forth the curtains of my habitations and to spare not!" He is actually letting me know: "Look at that world out there, there is SO MUCH TO SEE and SO MUCH TO DO!" It's just like when I open the curtains to my bedroom balcony in the morning and I look at the mountains surrounding Quito, it's truly a sight to behold! He then says I will "break forth on the right hand and on the left" meaning I WILL SUCCEED AT EVERY SIDE! And my son Andy (my seed) will be very instrumental in making the desolate cities of a future world devastated by war and chaos habitable again. He is also telling me to be "FEARLESS" which I AM! "For God hath not given us (His ministers and servants) the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy, 1:7). He also tells me NOT to be ashamed nor allow ANYONE to put me to shame for ANYTHING I may have done in my past! This is why He says "I should forget the SHAME of my youth!" He tells me not to be confused either "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in ALL churches of the saints." 1 Corinthians, 14:33. He reminds me that I AM like a wife to Him and the Bible says that we who are the TRUE church are to be married to Christ as His BRIDE! He reminds me that He called me while in my youth "as a woman who has been forsaken and grieved in spirit" and there was a time when He just left me alone and forsook me and abandoned me because of my sin, but He has reconciled me to Him and has redeemed me and will HAVE MERCY on ME ALWAYS! "My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee." Then He goes on to describe how He will bless me with a house and a home full of precious stones and how He will prosper me soon! He says I will be settled and established in RIGHTEOUSNESS and not to WORRY about ANYTHING happening to me: "thou shall be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee." and He says that ANYONE who tries to DESTROY me or to gather others against me WILL FALL! In other words, they will be "unsuccessful" in their plot against me! This is why the Jesuits haven't been able to KILL ME YET! God tells me so! He said: "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn." Those who judge me and criticize me blatantly without reason nor RIGHT shall be condemned by my words, for as Jesus said: "MY WORDS, THEY ARE POWER AND THEY ARE SPIRT!" So it really doesn't get any clearer than this RIGHT? I hope you the reader take this to heart and learn a lesson from this! And you truly get that I am a TRUE Servant of God! "This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."

With DEEP love in Christ,

Apostle Jeshurum
