Hebrews 4:16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Beloved, God your loving Father is adjudged to be plenteous in mercies.
Psa 86:15. But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
But then His unfailing and ceaseless mercies for His saints are accessible on the altar of prayer. He encouraged you to come boldly and receive your desired mercy. See them yourself.
Psalms 50:15. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
Isaiah 65:24. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Isa 41:21. Produce your cause, saith the Lord;bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Jer 29:11 — Jer 29:13. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 33:3. Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Painfully and regrettably instead of some believers to take advantage boldly of the ever present and sure mercies of God obtainable through prayer at the throne of grace, they cheaply give themselves to merchandise motivational speakers to milk then.
Beloved, see Marvelous exploits saints of old attained as they took advantage boldly of the mercies of the Lord at the throne of grace. I am persuaded that you are also doing same. But if not. This is the time to begin till Christ comes.
Abraham rescued Lot from destruction of Sodom.
Gen 18:17 — Gen 18:32 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; If not, I will know. The men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord. Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? The Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? He said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. He spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. He said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. He said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. He said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. He said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
Genesis 19:29. And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
Isaac conquered barrenness.
Gen 25:21 – And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. The children struggled together within her; she said, If it be so, why am I thus? She went to enquire of the Lord. The Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. The first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. After that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; His name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
Jacob escaped death threats of Esau.
Gen 32:24 – And Jacob was left alone; there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. He said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. He said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. He said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. He said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? He blessed him there.
Daniel and the three Hebrews discovered the forgotten dream of the king and interpreted it and escaped death.
Dan 2:1 – And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him. Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream. Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation. The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill. But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof. They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it. The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
Dan 2:17 – Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.
Beloved hear Jacob speaks to you and encourage you in particular to pray to the God of Grace concerning this present challenge in your life. He said that , he conquered by prayer and that you also should pray and conquer. You shall conquer in Jesus name.
Hos 12:2 – The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God: Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
Dearly beloved, Jesus our Lord was the teacher that was sent to us from God.
Jn 3:1 – There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
But then He was a teacher with a unique and very unusual difference. He did distinctly all that He taught.
Acts 1:1. The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Jesus said to believers of all ages and you in particular, never to faint, backslide, seek help from Satan, when confronted with any challenges. But simply come boldly and pray and keep on praying until you triumph. Don’t ever ever forget.
Luke 18:1. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Mat 7:7 – Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
See His enviable lifestyle during His earthly ministry. He triumphed and prevailed not because He was the Son of God, but simply, because He prayed. If He prayed and prevailed. You also shalt triumph and prevail in Jesus name. However, you must pray.
Mar 1:35. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Luk 22:41 – And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Dearly beloved, stop the merchandise motivational speakers from milking you. come to the grace of God and Pray whenever you are confronted with challenges. You shall have a testimony in Jesus name.
Luk 21:13. And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
How and where will you receive this guaranteed and unfailing testimony for all your challenges in life? It is at the mercy sit opened for all blood washed saints, especially you. See it.
See how Bible days believers took advantage of the merry sit and do likewise henceforth and your breakthroughs shall be unending in Jesus name. Peter was delivered from untimely death, because the church prayed without fainting like Jesus commanded and prevailed. You too shall prevail in this challenge confronting your life in Jesus name.
Act 12:1 – Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. When Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. Behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. His chains fell off from his hands. The angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. So he did. He saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. He went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
