Praying, But No Answers? This Could Be Why..

Many believers try hard to get God to do things for them. Yet the Kingdom of God functions in proper order. You don’t beg and plead God for anything, because God has already done things in the most orderly way for His children.
That means there is no demon in hell that can get up and rob your inheritance. God secured it accurately, completely, full rights as co-heirs in Christ Jesus.
As a child of God, Jesus has checked every box for us. He secured our salvation the proper legal way; the way God wanted it. Jesus did not die because He did something wrong. He died because He did it right. And because He did it right, nobody can take away what God has done for you.
So then the question comes, if God did all this for us, why are we still failing? Why do we still face trials, discouragement, setbacks, lack, mind battles?
Here is the key. Spiritually, you are seated. Jesus finished the work, went up, sat at the right hand of God, and He seated you with Christ.
So the whole process of trying to get God to give you something like you are still outside the family, it does not exist!
But even though your spirit is seated, your soul has to ascend. That is where the fight is.
The enemy attacks the soul realm and tries to keep you in a valley all your life, because the valley is where confusion lives. You do not know who is for you, who is against you. Even the Word can feel confusing, prayer can feel like it is going nowhere, because you are trying to get answers in the valley.
But the answer is not in the valley. The answer is on the mountaintop.
When you climb, you can see: that offense, bitterness, misunderstanding, and you start realizing it was part of a valley strategy. The devil wants you to fight battles on the ground, but you are called to fight from the mountain.
Remember, Elijah under the juniper tree? He could survive, yes. He could get bread for another day. But when he took the climb, he got clarity and understanding.
So if you want grace to pull you out of valleys, God will give it. He will never forsake you. But if you want to rule and reign, you have to climb the mountain. So I am telling you, drag your soul up to the mountaintop. And you will come down with clarity, wisdom, understanding, and power to respond God’s way.
Declare this today: “My valley life is over. I am done fighting in valleys. I will fight from the mountaintop”.
And I speak clarity over your mind and your heart. Every demon trying to shake you, you will shake it off in Jesus’ mighty name.
Shalom
The devil wants you to fight battles on the ground, but you are called to fight from the mountain.
