[QUOTE="money_pit_yj, post: 709866, member: 7710"] One of my favorite pastor stories is about the farm community that prayed for rain. As farmer after farmer came up and begged God for rain, there was an old pastor sitting quietly in the corner. After everyone came up and sat down, he wandered up to the front of the church and said "I have heard men up here pleading God for rain, but I do not see anyone in here with an umbrella". This hit me hard this week. My wife and I are in the process for selling our house. It has been on the market for a few weeks and we have had very little traffic. We have spent the last few months praying if this is what God would have us do, and we are at peace that our house is going to sell........yet I have not packed one box. How often are we guilty of asking God to do something, yet not preparing our self for Him to do it? Our house is just one instance where I am guilty of that. This is not a name it and claim it, this is talking with God and knowing that what you're asking of Him will honor and glorify Him and you are preparing to be ready when He moves. We have to pray and know that we are praying to the God of heaven and earth, and as we Abide in Him our heart draws nearer to His and our will begins to align with His will. Once our will aligns with His, our prayers will begin to change as well. Once our hearts and prayers align with His, we can be ready for things to start happening, then we just have to be obedient to prepare ourselves for the work He is doing. Whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 1 John 3:22. If you are praying for rain, live by Faith and get your umbrella ready!! [/QUOTE]
