For you have  been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. Psalm 61:3

Your attitudes and reactions in the times of trouble will say if you will be heard again or not. Having respected God’s plan and received His words in your heart count a lot in your favor.  If on any occasion the Lord has answered your prayer, even when you are far from Him – in some cases, even in sin -, because you cried to the Father, your act became an eternal memorial in His sight and made Him love you even more.

When your heart is heavy laden, seek the Scriptures.  This way you will be heard.  Believe this: the divine promises belong to you; therefore, fearlessly enter into prayer against the evil force that is disturbing your life.  Don’t let the devil deceive or fool you with his lies and deceptions.  In the end you will conclude: the Lord is your Refuge and Strong Tower against the enemy. 

If you pray for help, believe that it is already on the way to you; after all, as you call out God, He is already working in your favor, leading you to the Rock higher than you – the Savior himself.  The position of the Son of God is to the right of the Father, which means unreachable; therefore you too are safe in Him.  Everything is given in and through faith, the assurance as we hear the teachings of the Most High and believe strongly and firmly in Him. 

Because you have already prayed to God and been answered by Him, and you are grateful for what done, it is enough to ask Him for help again.  Believe this: in each prayer He will be your true Shelter. The person who prays to the Lord without believing is in greater wrong that the one who does not cry out to Him for they who do not believe in God make Him to be a liar (1 John 5:10b).  Therefore do not side with the tempter in rebellion, but side with Jesus in true obedience.

As we place our faith in God, we are rescued by Him and this translates into the following message: we can affirm that we shall forever live in His Tabernacle, in the secret shelter of His wings (Psalm 61:4). Due to the fact that we were heard and answered by the One who is unchangeable, this declares we will be heard and answered as often as necessary, if we remain firm in the promises and declarations of the heavenly Father that express His good will towards us.

If you have received healing, a word of hope or a solution to a problem, God has heard your vows; so do not hesitate in fulfilling them.  The vow is like an answer to what He told you, all the way from a parting from temptation to a promise of fulfilling something in favor of His work.  Be attentive and sensitive to the voice of the Almighty; thus, you will always be heard and answered when you seek Him. 

The Lord has given you the inheritance for those who fear His Name, for you to be a person according to His heart.  For those who believe, besides being a true Refuge, He is like a strong Tower against the enemy and his plans.  In God, there is no doubt, ill will or vacillation, but complete liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17).

In Christ, with Love,
