Sunday, April 28,2013 "Sun Stands Still"

Sometimes when you need something, you have to walk on faith, believing to receive.  I have done this before and the Lord has always provided.  Audacious prayers were introduced in the bible when Joshua asked God to have the "sun stand still" in order to complete the task at hand and his prayer was honored.  So I call this my own "sun stand still prayer", where you need something that seems impossible. We already know whenever we seek this type of answer, it must be of God and in His will and aligned with His word. Having said that, you have the power to ask your Almighty Father for such bold requests. I remember going shopping for a big summer party for my brothers and sisters in Christ and did not even have the money to pay for all the food. A friend was with me as I shopped through the store with the food piling higher and higher. I turned to her and said, "I can't even afford to be doing this but I am walking on faith that God will provide for it". We finished our shopping and I paid with "bill" money already accounted for in the household budget. I don't need to tell you that by the end of the day, that grocery bill was paid for.  The Lord provided those monies without me saying one word to anyone. So I  challenge you to step out in bold faith and pray your "sun stand still prayer".  What is it that you need/want/desire that takes audacious praying to ever achieve?  Our God is the same God that Joshua prayed to.  He has not changed. The Lord loves when we trust Him enough to go to Him for all things, big and small. So never be shy with Him nor in your faith walk.  Pray boldly, think boldly and be on fire on Jesus.  Prayer changes things  ....  Prayer moves the hands of God.  

Joshua 10: 12-14

² On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
    and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
¹³ So the sun stood still,
    and the moon stopped,
    till the nation avenged itself on^[b] its enemies,

as it is written in the Book of Jashar.

The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. ¹⁴ There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!
