    A Temporary Throne – 8

     CHAPTER 8

    YOU HAVE NOT LIFE EXCEPT I GRANT.

     

    Job 6: 8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
    That God would grant me the thing that I long for!
    9 That it would please God to crush me,
    That He would loose His hand and cut me off!

    I smiled in love, as I bowed my head in thankfulness.

    And my mouth was opened, as the joy of the Lord’s grace overflowed from my heart.

    “Thank you, Lord, for your mercy and grace.”

    I looked up toward our Lord God’s loving Face. (I cannot describe the Image of His loving countenance.)

    SPEAK WITH ME, ROGER.

    AGAIN, the Lord spoke to me personally; this time FACE to face, as I stood before the LORD at the THRONE of Heaven.

    “Lord, I am broken by your silence to my prayer.”

    SILENCE… I stood still… as it seemed time itself stood still.

    The Lord smiled warmly and looked deeply into my soul.

    “Lord, You have Eternity, yet You measure my mortal days.”

    Continued SILENCE…

    “I would witness your love in my remaining days; yet You, Lord, remain silent in answer to my prayers.”

    A Temporary Throne – 6

     CHAPTER 6

    PRAYER:

    An interlude of refreshment…

    Matthew 11: 27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
    28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
    29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

    The LORD told me to close this book for a moment of rest. Prayer is rest. Prayer is refreshment. The rest is the same as the rest for which Hannah gave thanks to the Lord for returning her strength. It is by God’s answer that we receive the rest of God.

    PRAYER is the conversation between a PERSONAL GOD, with the man of His Creation. PRAYER is more than asking: PRAYER is LISTENING to GOD.

    Revelation 14: ESV “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
    “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

    I pray to God: for you, personally. [Let us pray: …]

    A Temporary Throne – 4

    CHAPTER 4

    PRAYER SPEAKS TO GOD: person to PERSON.

    After my reply, “Here I am, Lord,” I remembered:

    The purpose of a PRAYER of Samuel’s mother Hannah had been to glorify God — as had been the purpose of a latter prayer from a just announced virgin mother-to-be of the Son of Man.

    Samuel 2: And Hannah prayed and said:
    “My heart rejoices in the Lord;
    My horn [strength] is exalted in the Lord.
    6 “The Lord kills and makes alive;
    He brings down to the grave and brings up.
    8 He raises the poor from the dust
    And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,
    To set them among princes
    And make them inherit the throne of glory.

    Here I lay, in a conversation with the LORD MOST HIGH, which THE LORD had initiated. I gave the ONLY answer I knew: the answer of obedience.
