Do you? When the focus of your remembering is who the Lord is and what He’s done in your life… your faith is increased. Have you ever considered that in the act of remembering you are building up your faith? Before you take credit for the ‘good’ that came out of the situation… think again.
Have you ever wondered how long you should pray about (fill in the blank)? I have. The simple answer is… until the answer manifests. And that statement leads to… whose answer do you pray for? Do you think that some of your prayers have ‘forever’ stamped on them? Do you use the prayer of agreement?
