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).
Many prayers have been answered after those praying had given up. Many of these may have gone unnoticed as a result of our turning away in resignation. To paraphrase Joshua, “turn neither to the left nor to the right, but be strong and of a good courage; and you shall prosper wherever you go”.
Let us not turn from our faith and our prayers at any hour, thirteenth or thirtieth; so that we may experience and be witnesses to God’s faithful answers.
Turning not away,
Z gardener
