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).
What is it that causes us to give up on our prayers and our faith that God will answer them? Many times the root causes fall in the vanity, pride and ego issues. “It didn’t happen when I wanted it to, the way I wanted it to happen or how it would happen” are many of the reasons we abandon our faith and our prayers. Then, there is the refusal to take no for an answer to our prayers. Finally, we many times are misstating the truth we affirm or about which we pray. For instance, if we affirm that our prayers will be answered whether good for us or not, that is not the truth and it will not be affirmed by a loving God who will only grant that which is for our best good.
So, when we pray and affirm the truth, if we truly trust God, we should be ready for God’s answer, not ours. That answer, we can be sure, is the right one.
