Long Standing Problems

Bible School: Long Standing Problem

Aim:

To reveal the WORD and enhance the fulfilment of your DESTINY in Christ Jesus

Introduction:

Many Christians are frustrated, unhappy, dejected, harassed, unfulfilled, and have lost hope because they have prayed about a certain matter for a long time and it seems that there is no answer. It seems God does not want to listen. It seems God does not answer prayers anymore. They have been to many pastors, preachers, Bishops and Apostles and the situation is the same. Many have lost hope and given up and decided not to seek God any more.

But the bible says:

Memory verse:

Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Mat 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Who changed?

There are 3 personalities in the process of asking and receiving. God, Devil and I

1. God has not changed: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

2. Satan has not changed: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy John 10:10

3. I am the only one changing and unstable.
