Breakthrough through importunate prayers.

Breakthrough through importunate prayers.

God forbid that you should faint in the days of trouble.

Our Lord Jesus Christ exhorted His followers of all ages to pray with opportunity when confronted with heartbreaking challenges.

Luke  18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Please don’t blame God for lacking anything. Just pray, because prayerlessness is the reason why you are deprived of what you lack.

James  4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

God delights in giving you good things.

Matthew  7:11 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?

It brings glory and joy to Him, that your joy is full.

John  16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.  16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

The singular pathway for your joy to be full is to pray to Him, tirelessly without murmuring or complaining till you possess your breakthrough.

This was the typical situation of Hannah before her breakthrough came.

1 Samuel  1:5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.  1:6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. 

 1:7 And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.  1:9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.  1:10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.  1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.  1:27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

No wonder the Bible says you should pray till your answers come 

Matthew  7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.  7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?  7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?  7:11 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?

1 Thessalonians  5:17 Pray without ceasing.

Hannah had desisted breakthrough in life because she prayed earnestly.

1 Samuel  1:27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

1 Samuel  2:21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

You also will experience desired breakthroughs beyond your widest dreams as you  importunate in pray in Jesus name.

Psalms  50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

However, remember receiving answers to your prayers are tied to a lifestyle of absolute purity.

Psalms  66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Isaiah  59:1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:  59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Zechariah  7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:

John  9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

If you discover you are still not free from sin, first give attention to seeking God and being free from sin.

2 Chronicles  7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Once this is faithfully done, your own joy will be full in Jesus name.

John  16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.  16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Let us pray.
