Some wonderful demonstrations come at the eleventh hour. Others come at the twelfth hour. And some of the deepest and most far-reaching demonstrations come at the thirteenth hour – if you maintain the right attitude. What, after all, is the right attitude? It is simply knowing the Truth of Being instead of accepting the error.
Many people are aware of this, and they work in the right way – for a while. If, however, the demonstration has not arrived a little before the eleventh hour, they give up in despair, and naturally their prayer is not answered. But, this can only mean that they do not really believe.
If your statements of Truth are true, they are true whether the victory comes at eleven or twelve or one o’clock. State the Truth of Being concerning the problem. Hold to it even after twelve o’clock has struck, and you will be surprised at the wonderful good that can come to you at the thirteenth hour.
The Lord’s hand is not shortened, that is cannot save, neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear (Isaiah 59:1).
Winston Churchill’s admonition was “Never, never, never, never, never ever give up”. When we embrace truth, we gain the strength of faith that allows us to persevere, even until the time for our prayers to be answered seems to have come and gone (the thirteenth hour). The key is that we understand and embrace truth.
The truth of being is that God loves us and will resolve our challenges for our best good. For this truth to manifest itself, we must put God first and live according to his will. Then we must never give up believing that God is resolving our challenge. It may not be resolved the way we envisioned it, or it may be resolved by our continuing to endure it for awhile. Bur if we remain steadfast, it will be resolved. And if we remain open to God’s will, we will understand and embrace the resolution.
God will hear our prayers and return us to our garden when we believe, obey and accept God’s will.
Keeping on keeping on,
