Listener: As I awakened this morning I either remembered a dream or saw a vision, I am not certain which. I was being told that an intercessory prayer which I had prayed years ago had been answered. I had no memory of the prayer, but Holy Spirit assured me that I had prayed and that my requests had been granted in full. Later as I stood over the Lord’s Table, I was thinking about the vision and what it might mean. Then Holy Spirit reminded me of prophetic words spoken over me by the young prophet almost a year ago, “I hear,” says the Lord, every petition and request that you have lifted up for this ministry, everything you have prayed; God said, I shall bring it to pass.” At the time I had considered that word to be somewhat extreme but I accepted it later after Holy Spirit asked me: Have you ever prayed a prayer for this ministry which I did not lead you to pray? My answer to His question was “no.” and then He reminded me of 1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us, and if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. Now, as Holy Spirit brought these things to my mind, He began to speak: I have given you this message three times over the years. First the Scripture, then the prophetic words from the young prophet, and now the vision. Remember what you frequently told the Bible Study Class: If God tells you to do something, OBEY; if He tells you a second time, BE VERY SURE TO OBEY; If He has to tell you a third time, ASK FOR HIS FORGIVENESS AND THEN OBEY IMMEDIATELY NO MATTER WHAT THE COST. What I Am telling you to do this morning is to BELIEVE that the prayers of intercession which I have given you for the young man desperately in need of major deliverance and a safe place to live while that deliverance is being brought to pass ARE ANSWERED and will be manifested in due time. The reason that I have instructed you to post this message in Daily Bread is so that those to whom you write will be reminded of the significance of their prayers and how important it is to seek the will of God, to pray for the will of God to be done, and then to BELIEVE that their prayers are answered. Shalom.
