Not the God of Olden Times. Really?

Today I hear people say that in the Old Testament God was active in the plans for His people then but is not today.  But if you read in Numbers you will see where God had the plans for the the nation of Israel to go into the promise land immediately upon their arrival.  Moses sends out twelve to scout the land and according to God's plan, they were to come back with all the large fruit of the land and come to the people and say,"Let's go into the land now because God is in control".  Instead only two of the twelve said that and the result was that the people wondered for 40 more years and the 10 who doubted God died and never saw the Promised land. God's plan remained but it took a new generation to fulfill those promises.

God's promises are final and he have never gone back on any promise.  It is us who think God has walked away.  It is us who pray for something once or go into a ritual of the same prayer day after day and then wonder why it does not happen exactly like the prayer is spoken.  You doubt God hears you.  Is it because you expect religion to come through without a relationship with whom you are praying?

For ten years now I have prayed for God to move in the area I live.  During the last year I have gone to the same location every week  and prayed over that location and the 14,000 people who are far from a relationship with God.  Yes in one location.

Satan enters periodically and say, "God does not hear you.  You will need to take matters in your own hands."  Being ADHD and impatient I have been tempted but in my quiet time, God say for me to be still and know that I am in control.

God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  I know this because God is assembling a team a people who have moved here from all over the US to this location.  For that I give thanks that God is the God of old and our goal is to be true to Him.  He wants those 14,000 plus people to get to know Him and love Him.

Is there something you have been praying for and wondering why God does not seem to be around?  Keep praying even when you don't feel like it.  It may be years away and a lifetime away but God never fails to His promises that were written in olden times and still true today.
