Checking into God’s Presence...  “And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.” Genesis 21:1-7 What have you been looking unto God, and what’s your impression about the time you had to wait? Do you think God is slow in bringing your needs to manifestation or that He has forgotten you completely? Let me assure you that Sarah, too, had the same impression in the Book of Genesis. The Bible recorded Sarah was 90 when she conceived Isaac while Abraham was a hundred years old. Both of them had the impression that conception was out of the question for Sarah because they have waited for a very long time. Along the line, Sarah had to bring in Hagar, the Egyptian slave of Sarah, to assist God and Abraham in childbearing. And this was against God’s original plan: Hagar conceived and bore a son named Ishmael. But in Genesis 21:1 that “the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.” Empower us oh Lord to always rely on Your strength, when we feel despaired, provide healing for the souls that dwell in shame and allow many to know Thy Name through the testimonies of their mouths. Let the blind in Spirit begin to see, and the lame in faith be encouraged to run free with the new strength found through their faith, and we pray Thee to give hope to those who remain blinded to Your riches. Let the unbelief in the state of their hearts do what You have decreed, and kick starts in their lives the assurances given to the validity in Your Name in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
