God Made a Choice That Became Law

I am still talking about why we should always pray and not give up.  Here's some ground work you might not have thought about before.  I trust this will bring more motivation to be faithful in praying.

In the very beginning, there was nothing but a big bunch of darkness.  God made a decision.  He spoke and light was created.  He never took His Word back.  His Word is so complete in it's ability that the sun has never stopped.  Why not?  Only because God has not told it to stop.  God spoke trees, dry ground, water, animals, birds and fish into existence.  He told every living creature to multiply.  They haven't stopped yet.  He made a choice.  He spoke His choice and His choice has become the law of the universe.

God made a choice before the foundation of the earth, (Rev. 13:8).  If man sinned, He would send His Son.  He was not human and needed a human son.  He made a choice and came to Abraham with a covenant.  He promised Abraham that He would use Abraham's seed to bless all the nations of the earth, (Gen 22:18) if he would just believe.  Abraham believed what God said.  It became the law of the universe.

Abraham's children went through all kinds of trouble.  God was faithful to bring them out.  When overwhelming odds seemed to be on the verge of destroying God's promise, God brought them through it with an overwhelming victory.  When they were enslaved by the Egyptians, God brought them out with the Egyptians' gold and silver.  When they were conquered by the Greeks, the Greeks taught everyone their language so it would be easier to spread the gospel of His Son easier.  When they were conquered by the Romans, the Romans built and guarded massive roads so that the Gospel of His Son could be spread throughout the world easier.  God's choice became a universal law that was backed up by all of the power of Heaven.

God made choices of salvation, healing and prosperity in His Word.  He has NEVER backed down from His word, not even once.  The idea of even one jot or one tittle of His law passing away is an impossibility, (Mt 5:18).  So the pressure is not on God to answer prayer.  For Him, answering a prayer is a foregone conclusion, (Mt 21:22) from which His WILL NOT back down.

Then why does God not answer prayer?    There are two reasons that I know of.  Number one:  He does not answer a prayer that is not prayed.  Number two:  WE are the ones who have fainted and gave up asking.

I am convinced by His Word and His Heart that nothing is impossible to the one who believes God.  Mt 19:26--But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

In my next blog, we will get into the particulars of prayer.
