21 Days of Fasting and Praying: Pursuing a Greater Understanding & Revelation from God - Paperback

by Pastor Benita Camelia Bradley (Author)

Have you ever been praying for something and it seemed as if God wasn't listening? Have you ever questioned God to see when He was going to answer your prayer? Have you felt as if what you were asking God for, perhaps was not in His will for you, because it hadn't manifested as of yet? What if God tells you to do something, but you don't fully understand all that He wants you to do? Do you have dreams and visions that frustrate you, because you can't get the revelation or the meaning behind them? I have had all these questions, and more, on several occasions, even recently, which led me on a twenty-one day journey of fasting and praying. It was then I gained a greater understanding and revelation of what God wants for my life. Daniel prayed, but his answer was delayed. Unbeknownst to him, God had already sent his answer, but something caused it to be delayed. Can you imagine the anguish Daniel must have endured feeling as if God had forsaken him and not answered his prayer? Think about how many times you've felt the same way that Daniel felt. The next time you pray for something and the answer seems delayed, you may need to do a little warfare in order for your answer to be released. Pray in the spirit and use your heavenly language (speaking in tongues). If you're unfamiliar with speaking in tongues, find someone who is more familiar and have them to agree with you in prayer. Your answer must be released. Each day God gave me a different scripture that would take me further and deeper into my quest for more of God. I've captured my daily conversations with God in this book. I must admit, some of my conversations were not exactly what I thought I would hear. That's so like God. He'll give us more of what we need and less of what we want. If you're searching for those answers to prayers that seem as if God has not heard you, hold on. Help is on the way. You may be surprised and comforted by the fact that God heard you the first time you prayed. Many things, in the spirit realm, may delay our answers. However, a delayed answer is not a denied prayer request. God is forever in tuned to the prayers of His children. He will never leave you alone or without comfort. Our comfort comes from knowing that God will hear and answer us according to His will for us. Waiting is always the hardest part of receiving the promises and provisions of God. Trust me; any answer that comes from our Heavenly Father is well worth the wait. Continue your personal prayer journey long after you've read this book. My prayer for you is that you come to know God in greater and deeper way.
