II"},"content":{"rendered":"Welcome, dear readers, to the pages of \u201eDaily Word for Spiritual Edification\u00bb! I thank God for every one of you and pray that your hunger for the Word of God and His wisdom will not grow cold. God\u2019s wisdom casts out all darkness from our lives and brings advancement.\n\nWe are still talking about the fact that changes and God\u2019s miracles in our lives depend on us. The example of Hannah showed us that by trusting God, turning her tears into a cry of prayer, and believing God even while seeing no outward change and being ridiculed and humiliated by the people around her, this woman experienced a true miracle in her life.\n\nWe have read about many situations like these in the Bible.\n<ul>\n\t<li>You remember Jacob, who said to God,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>\u00abI will not let You go unless You bless me!\u00bb (Genesis, 32:26).<\/h6>\nJacob\u2019s persistence in prayer and his tenacity became proof of his faith, and so he received a clear miracle from God.\n<ul>\n\t<li>The Bible also tells us the story of blind Bartimaeus, who kept crying out to Jesus for help until He stopped and listened to him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>\u201cNow they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, \u201eJesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!\u201d So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. Then they called the blind man, saying to him, \u201eBe of good cheer. Rise, He is calling you.\u201d And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus. So Jesus answered and said to him, \u201eWhat do you want Me to do for you?\u201d The blind man said to Him, \u201eRabboni, that I may receive my sight.\u201d Then Jesus said to him, \u201eGo your way; your faith has made you well.\u201d And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road\u201d (Mark, 10: 46-52).<\/h6>\nBartimaeus himself brought about his miracle and received his sight.\n<ul>\n\t<li>Hannah spoke to God, pouring out to Him a heart full of misery and distress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6> \u00abNo, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD\u00bb (1 Samuel, 1: 15).<\/h6>\nIn her prayer Hannah appeared drunk to an outside observer; she was totally lost in the presence of God and forgot about the people around her.\n\nIf you desire to see and experience a miracle from God in your life, then you must forget what other people think of the way you pray. In your season of seeking God, you must be concerned about one thing only: how sincere your heart is as you pray and how great your desire is to experience His intervention. Keep trusting and crying out to God even when everyone else has grown weary and lost faith in any possibility of your life changing. God loves consistent and faithful people. He always has a reward for people like that.\n\nTomorrow we will finish talking about this topic, and we will see what the result of Hannah\u2019s prayer and trust was.\n\nWishing you God\u2019s abundant blessings,\n\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you desire to see and experience a miracle from God in your life, then you must forget about what other people think of your prayer style.
