Benefits of God with you – Asking Impossible – Part 4

Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept. They sat there before the Lord and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. Judges 20:26

The Israelites lost twice and God allowed it to happen, because they had asked God for victory, with 400,000 people. Remember God didn't do it, He only allowed it to happen. Yes, there is a difference between doing and allowing. God doesn't do wrong to anyone not even the wicked, but the wicked they fall in their own wrong and God allows it. God allows it because God has tried to warn but they wouldn't listen, so God allows it, but God never does anything bad. If God would have given them victory, they wouldn't have glorified God, they would have said that they had skilled warriors and huge number of people 15:1 and they had to win. When they lost twice they realized the battle can't be won only by skills and numbers. After 2 defeats they sat and fasted before God. The whole Israel came together and fasted.

Many of us have been praying and praying, yet we may not have received the answers to our prayers. We ought to evaluate what are we asking. If you have prayed and prayed yet you have not received it might be because you are asking small things, which will not glorify God. Start asking big things. Ask impossible things, beyond your talents, beyond your qualification, beyond your skills, beyond your education and experience. This will bring glory to God and He will do it immediately. Don't ask for blessings, ask for testimonies that will glorify God. It will help you to share and encourage others. Don't ask basis your strengths, ask basis God's strength. Don't ask basis what you deserve, ask basis God's grace. You might get 1 million basis what you deserve, but basis God's grace you keep on getting millions and yet it doesn't stop. Don't ask for small changes in your life, but ask for transformations. Don't ask for a trickle but ask for a flood. Don't ask for what is possible with you, but ask what is possible with God, even though its impossible with you. Till now you have not asked, ask now in Jesus' name, to Heavenly Father and your joy will be fulfilled, when He answers you. God bless you
