The soul that seeks the Lord is precious in His sight.
GOD may try the soul by delays, as He did with Abraham;
Abraham was 75 years old when God first made the promise that he would be made into a great nation. Abraham was 100 years old when Sarah gave birth to Isaac. Abraham had to wait 25 years!
God tried Joseph, and tried him long, but even in prison it is said, The Lord was with Joseph.
It took Joseph, years to see God’s purposes working out in his life.
And when he did, Joseph saw the hand of God in everything that had happened to him. Think about it! At the given time-right Moment.
At the given time his brothers threw him into the pit.
At the right moment the Midianites came along.
At the given time he was sold to Potiphar.
At the given time Potiphar’s wife falsely accused him.
At the right moment he met the butler and baker.
At the right moment the butler remembered Joseph.
At the right moment Pharaoh called for him.
At the right moment he was promoted to the second most powerful person in all of Egypt.
At the given time Jacob sent his sons to Egypt.
At the right moment the brothers met Joseph.
At the right moment Jacob’s family moved to Egypt.
Joseph recognized that God had used his life in ways that would be difficult for anyone else to understand.
Joseph was sold into slavery when he was about seventeen. He was 30 years of age when he became second in position to the Pharaoh.
Joseph waited on God for 13 years before he saw the manifestation of his dreams. Joseph trusted his dreams. Through it all, there was a continuous surge of faith coming through.
He was sold into slavery by his envious brothers. It is never easy-it is a deception. At another time, he was accused of indecent behaviour by Potiphar's wife and he was sent to prison. Joseph had a difficult time. And he could have got bitter, mean, resentful. But that did not happen with Joseph!
When situations continually turn the other way - when things don't work for you, where do you go.
God worked powerfully through Joseph, because Joseph did not let the situations in his life dictate to him. He did not let the troubles rule him. He believed that God would come to his rescue. And God came through splendidly!
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek after Him and seek His Will.
Each day when you wake up, wake-up with an expectancy that God's goodness and favour is going to chase you down! We may not see it in the day or the days to come, but Trust HIM always!
Always and in everything Thank God. God loves when we sing to Him a song of praise. It is easy to sing when everything works for you. But how lovely it is, when you have things not going your way, and you sing to Him that song of praise.
Isn't it love that makes you joyful? Would you imagine the JOY in God's Heart!
When you honour God, He’ll lead you and direct your steps, to be at the right place at the right time.
Our expectation in Him, is what allows God to do great things in our lives.
Get READY! You’re on your way to fulfill your God-given destiny!
When the twelve spies were sent to search out the land of Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb came back confident that the land could be taken with God leading the way.
The rest brought a bad report of giants, and the view that overcoming the land was impossible. Their view infected the whole camp like a disease.
We need to be like Joshua and Caleb, men of faith in God. If God says the land can be taken, it can.
God will guide and lead the way. Live by faith in His words.
When we do things God’s way, when we follow His Word, He promises to bless us with life, health, peace and joy. He promises to do what has never been done before!
Joseph and Mary were in search of Jesus (the age of twelve), and they found Him 3 days later in the temple. Then 18 years later, at the age of 30 Jesus begins His ministry in Galilee.
Abraham's waiting or Joseph's waiting, it was different from the waiting of Jesus. Because with each passing year, Jesus was heading towards a gruesome death on the Cross. Jesus knew, He had the three years of mission work, and He did it to the glory of God, The Father. He died (Jesus sacrificed Himself for us) with the victory song, "It is finished" John 19:30
What is your victory song?
Do we do everything that is in the Will of God for us? Do we go about it with the Passion of Jesus Christ?
Prayer
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8
Notice, the verse says, ‘Ask and you will receive’. Believe! Let’s ask God for what we do need.
And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Matthew 21:22
Prayer is the way; we communicate with God. We are asking God for something and acknowledging our inability to get it for ourselves.
"Whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists" Hebrews 11:6
Prayer requires faith. We must trust that God is and can hear us.
"Now, will God not judge in favor of his own people who cry to him day and night for help?" Luke 18:7
Jesus taught through parables that persistence is important when praying. In the parable of the widow and the unjust judge, the widow kept on demanding her rights until the judge got tired of all the trouble and granted her request.
Read to yourself out loud. And pay attention to what you read!
- Ask and you will receive.
- Be Persistent.
- Prayer requires an attitude of humility and repentance.
Don’t write yourself off because God never does, He knows your full potential. When God places you in a circumstance, face the trial trusting in Him. God knows our strength and He will not permit, anything that we can't handle.
Trust God in all your trials, and you will come out 10 times stronger than when you went in. Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (they refused to bow to other gods-for which they were held in contempt and punished, they were ready to die than bow). They were put into a fiery furnace, the heat raised to 10 times its level. Being thrown in, the fires did not get to them. Simply put, their clothes were intact and there was no smell of fumes on them. Trust in God!
Gold is purified in the scorching heat of the fire.
God will never abandon us. It’s not in His nature.
Every trial that I have been in, I have seen the Magnificence of God.
Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine!
We need to walk in Gods ways because all God will do in our lives is based on our obedience to His words.
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life!
We Pray and Believe. But some prayers take time to be answered. Often, we give up when we are the closest to achieving our dreams.
Don’t let go!
Be encouraged!
Remember: When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
Remember-Remember: We serve A Faithful God!
Remember Whose you are.
CONCLUSION:
Remember God's Faithfulness - God, The Father - provided His only Son as our Sacrifice for all times – as redemption for us all!
The greatest of miracles await us in THE -
The Celebration of The Mass: The sacrifice of Jesus, has graces beyond our knowing. Come Jesus waits!
The Eucharistic Adoration: It is here after the celebration of the mass; this is where Jesus waits for us too. He waits for us to ask Him to help us and to heal us.
This is The PLACE (The celebration of the Mass & The Eucharistic Adoration - where everything when in contact with God becomes a MIRACLE! (No matter what your trial or suffering is-Jesus Heals-BELIEVE!)
No matter what your situation is or looks like, there is always a different way to look at life from. And where,
Everything is a MIRACLE!
Whatever your prayer, I Hope, I Pray and I KNOW, you will find what you are looking for-I also pray for you JOY & Love!
God allows us to experience severe challenges to strengthen our faith and deepen our trust in Him.
Love is GOD! In the end, Love always wins.
PRAYER: Abba Father, You promised Joshua, victory over their enemies, Joshua, dared to stand in Your presence and at his command the sun and moon stood still for the whole day. There has never been a day like it ever. That is the day when You listened to a human being (a warrior).
I love You, Abba Father! I stand before Your Mighty Presence asking for what You have solemnly Promised me. Date 19 September 2020 (Mass Time: 14th minute and 14th second. Amen.
With all my Love,
For LOVE PREVAILS!
AnitA.
PRAYER: Abba, Father, keep me obedient and always faithful. Remember, this your servant.

Prayer for the souls in PURGATORY: Our Lord dictated this prayer to St. Gertrude the Great to release 1,000 Souls from Purgatory each time it is said.
"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen."
