When people say that they prayed about something or sought the Lord in prayer, and the decision comes back as something against the written word, can they really say they sought the Lord? The Lord will not alter His covenant or retract what went out of His Lips. What was, will be. If He didn't like it then, He will not like it now.
Prayer is a two-way dialogue with the Father. It is not only you talking to Him, but He also speaking with and to you. Most times, His answer will be found in the scriptures He leads you to. That is why is so important to have an understanding of the Word. It needs to be memorized and then learned in the paths of life and study. How can you understand a Rhema without the Logos? Truly, what's spoken will never undo what's written.
Most times, when prayers are made, the petitioner comes to the Father with His requests and desires. After they made their litany, they say "Amen" and get up and go their way. But truly, one should w ait and listen for His answer. Practice in waiting (& the study) will help train you to know His voice. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth...not just your desires. -Submitted in Love
This post came about after reading an article in which someone said that a matter was probably considered after much prayer. The matter stands against the Word of God. My thoughts are...would God lead one to do something against His predetermined counsel? What's your view?
