Of course, the examples of Scriptural praying, speaking, decreeing, declaring and confessing is endless. Whether for personal security and safety, or for the safety of family, relatives, friends, or national leaders, etc.; whether for personal, national or international relationships, or for personal happiness, marriage, healing not only in body but of the whole person --- for every single need G-d, our most wonderful and faithful heavenly Father, has provided us with the appropriate words to speak.

Example:   If my marriage relationship is not a happy one, shall I complain, or even divorce²⁵? What is G-d’s perfect will for my marriage? Since He is the One who established marriage²⁶, it is His perfect will that husband and wife live in peace and harmony²⁷, cherishing and honoring one another²⁸. They should be of one united heart, mind and purpose²⁹, doing each other good and not evil all the days of their lives³⁰. They should bless, not curse each other³¹. The husband is to love his wife as his own flesh³², desiring and delighting in her³³, and her desire shall be for her husband³⁴.

Accordingly, when I pray to G-d for my marriage, I ask for these things to manifest in my marriage. And I know that it will please the Father to do it.

It is His ideal intention and perfect will that His saints [His redeemed sons and daughters] should speak HIS words into the earth, into the lives of others and their own. This has absolutely nothing to do with “naming and claiming.” G-d does generally not answer requests made with the wrong motif, for the wrong reason and purpose. However, if one stubbornly insists on one’s request for the wrong purpose, these spiritual laws established by G-d will yield what was requested. Being part of G-d’s permissive, albeit not perfect will, this often results in the hurt, sometimes even destruction, of that person³⁵.

G-d IS love³⁶. Consequently any request, decree or confession, which is not founded on and does not spring from love, is contrary to His nature and hence not in accordance with His perfect will³⁷. Many prayers do not receive an answer because they are made for selfish, foolish desires, for vainglory and the praise of men, for riches, for revenge and for many other wrong and not wholesome purposes.

G-d loves a soul wholly yielded to Him, who embraces His divine will whole heartedly, with all joy, zeal and devotion. Foolish stubborness, stiffneckedness, anger and rebellion, faultfinding and complaining are attitudes G-d does not reward with answered prayers. Remaining yielded to Him in perfect trust, even when it seems that the exact opposite of what we asked for is happening, invariably will produce His answer sooner or later, but definitely never too late³⁸.

If someone takes advantage of us, a brother or sister cheating or pushing us aside, we must not “react” and pay back³⁹, but commit our cause to the Lord in perfect trust. His Word  is ready to help us, to pray [not vindictive! Remember, bless and do not curse!] for such situations, and His promise that He will act is sure⁴⁰, bringing forth our vindication as the light, and our right as the noonday⁴¹. 

We must trust Him without wavering. We must not get moved by the outward appearance of things, which tell us that it is useless to pray because nothing has changed. We are being tested and trained in forbearance, perseverance, and endurance,  tempted by the adversary to quit, to give up in hopelessness. But, as I already said, these “appearances” – although they look so “real” – are subject to change. Human beings are tested daily whom they will believe --- G-d’s Word and promises, or the “appearance” of things⁴². We must choose daily what and whom we really trust --- our five senses [which are part of the flesh], or G-d?

It bears repeating that everything is already done, finished, in existence⁴³. It is us, who are captives of time, moving along on the “equator” of time. Albert Einstein already said that “past, present and future exist at once, side by side,” and that time is only an “illusion,” though it seems so real. The prophet Ezekiel could not have been shown the third Temple in the Messianic Reign, had it not already existed. The apostle John could not have seen the time of the end, the beginning of the Messianic Reign and the new heaven and earth, had all of this not already existed, become past, present and future in one single vision. The past has not disappeared into nothingness, nor is the future a dark and uninhabited void. All is existent simultaneously, and what for us is still future is also already past⁴⁴.

Every human being was born at an appointed time and at the age of accountability chooses which path to follow. There are many parallel path⁴⁵, which we may picture in our minds like the three concentric rings revolving around Saturn at its equator. For this reason we must seek G-d for guiding us and ordering our steps⁴⁶ in the path that leads to life everlasting, on which are all the works G-d has prepared for us in advance that we should walk in them⁴⁷.
