Faith still stands

[Anonymous]

You have set your hope on the Lord and confessed His faithfulness, and that is a foundation of praise. Yet consider carefully what it means to ask for spiritual increase and a closer walk. The apostle says, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord.” This peace is not merely an untroubled life or the absence of conflict. The world’s peace often hides a diseased harmony, like robbers who agree together.

But Christ gives His own peace, a peace that rules in the heart when fleshly impulses war against the Spirit. Do not let anger or the desire for ease act as umpire in your soul; let the peace of God decide and award the victory to endurance and godliness. You ask for natural needs, phone service, travel, housing, and you stand on the promise that God will supply. He does care for us in these things, but the greater supply is the grace of a life set apart for Him.

Use the world as not abusing it, even good gifts, so that your soul clings to the Giver rather than the gifts. As for your granddaughter and the children, you pray for peace of mind without the interference of her mother. Here you must be wise. Not every peace is from God.

If that interference draws the children into sin or neglect of holy things, then a godly separation may be necessary, for it is better to cut off the incurable part than to let the whole body perish. But if the conflict is over lesser matters, then pursue reconciliation as far as it depends on you, remembering that love builds up and does not accuse unreasonably. The devil is ever crafty; be sober and watchful, for even a little slumber can sweep one away. Train the children not to be a cause of strife but to live in the fear of the Lord, because each believer has an angel who beholds the Father’s face.

Let your latter years indeed be greater, not merely in comfort but in the fruit of holiness and peacemaking. Stand in agreement, but stand on the solid ground of His commands. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Thank you I receive this message with gratitude

Your words ring with the kind of faith that pleases God. When you speak of expectation, anticipation, and gratitude, you are describing what it means to have your soul anchored. Not tossed by the storm, not wrecked by the circumstances, but held fast because the anchor goes within the veil, right into the presence of God. That is where the promises live. The Word of God is forever settled; it does not shift. The two unchanging things are His Word and His oath, and it is impossible for God to lie. When He says your latter years will be greater than the former, you can stand on that as though it were already done.

You mentioned walking in the Spirit of expectation while also asking for spiritual increase and a closer walk. That is the beautiful rhythm of prayer. Prayer always begins with relationship. The Father’s ear is open to the children’s cry, and you are coming as a daughter, not on the basis of your own worthiness but on the basis of His love and grace. He who was rich became poor for your sake, so that through His poverty you might know the riches of His love. That is the ground you stand on. Not your performance, not how long you have walked, but the finished work of Jesus Christ who became a curse so you could be brought in and made a partaker of the covenant and the promises.

Your list of needs is not too natural for a supernatural God. Phone service, travel funding, senior housing, your granddaughter’s financial obligations, peace for the children under her care. These are not small things to Him. He who promised to supply all your needs knows what concerns you before you speak it. The Lord will perfect that which concerns you. He is your help and your deliverer. When you cry out from the consciousness of your weakness, that is exactly where He meets you. You are poor and needy, and He hurries to the cry of the broken.

Standing in the gap for your granddaughter and those little ones is a powerful act of love. Prayer was never meant to be an instrument for accomplishing our own will but for seeing God’s will done on earth. And His will is peace. Not the uneasy peace the world gives, but peace like a river. For the children, peace of mind and comfort of spirit. For your granddaughter, provision that does not steal her presence from her children. God’s promises to Abraham were that in blessing He would bless him and multiply him. Through faith, you are a child of Abraham, and those promises of blessing belong to you and to those you love.

Seasons of affliction teach us patience, and patience is where we often fail. We want God’s help now; we do not like to wait. But remember Abraham, who waited years for the fulfillment of the promise. The area where we are so often tested is the area of waiting, but the testimony of those who wait is that God confirms His word with His hand, and it is glorious to stand and see the fulfillment. You have already witnessed that the trial brought you closer in prayer, and that alone is a precious fruit. The men and women who accomplish things for the glory of God are the ones who pray, who band together in agreement. Jesus said if two or three agree on earth concerning anything, it will be done. You have asked for continued agreement, and that is exactly what you have.

I join you in asking that God would strengthen you with might by His Spirit in the inner man, that you would be filled with all the fullness of God. May there be no room left for the fleshly worry or striving, only the deep rest of a soul anchored in Christ. Your natural needs, your granddaughter’s household, the children, every endeavor, all of it is held in the hands of the One who has prepared a city for us and who is not ashamed to be called our God. Continue to rest in Him. He is faithful who promised.

We are deeply encouraged by your unwavering faith and the way you continue to stand in the presence of our Lord with expectation, gratitude, and praise. It has been our privilege to stand in agreement with you in prayer, lifting up your natural needs—phone service restoration, travel funding, and senior housing—as well as your heart’s desire for spiritual growth and a closer walk with Jesus. We have also joined you in praying for your friend, your granddaughter, and the precious children in her care, believing with you that God will supply every need and perfect all that concerns you.

Your testimony of God’s faithfulness, even in the midst of challenges, is a powerful reminder of His promises. We continue to pray that the latter rains of His blessings will indeed fall upon you, making your latter years greater than the former. May His peace guard your heart and mind, and may His comfort surround the children under your granddaughter’s care, shielding them from any interference.

If any of these prayers have been answered, we would love to hear your praise report so we can rejoice with you. If there are still needs unmet, we invite you to post them again so we may continue to intercede on your behalf. Your faith strengthens ours, and we are honored to walk this journey with you.

May the Lord bless you abundantly as you seek Him, and may His presence go before you in every endeavor. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
