Waiting on the Father’s Answers

By Apostle Tonya

I might say, in a certain past season, as I desired to becometh more assiduous with the time I spent serving thy Lord in the ministry, I began to inquire of Him for direction.

How I was most stunned at the most sacred response I received from the Eternal Father! For, I remembereth in all of its blessedness it beheld the authority of a natural father, who peradventure purposed in His heart to withhold a swift answer.

May I now say, on this most marvelous summer afternoon I hath been led by the Spirit of God to once again behold the memory of that former season of prayer? I gather then this is what I desire to speaketh to you about today, dearest friends!

Continuing on with a heart of thanksgiving, I shall say peradventure the delay in Adonai’s response was both lessons in prayer and meekness for me.

As I considereth it even now, the occasions wherefore I entered into prayer for direction, the Blessed Father certainly astonished me with His response. For it so well agreed with our Father to answereth me with speaking about one of His Children wherefore He desired prayer.

I might say further, for many weeks during that season, I felt most encouraged by the Dearest Holy Spirit to continueth to entreat our Father in prayer about this direction on my heart. Yet, our Lord responded in the selfsame manner about prayer assignments.

How most frustrated this season of prayer was for me! In my heart, I concluded it was time to cease inquiring about the direction. Notwithstanding my decision, I most desired my answer, and fixed my eyes upon Heaven inquiring of the Blessed Father simply for one more time (for I concluded in my heart it was with good reason).

Beholding the Father’s glory and desiring
His attention, this time during prayer in that former season I prayed:

‘Holy Lord, how would you feel if every time I cometh into prayer I only speak about someone else?’

And so, I gather looking back it was a most amusing prayer, as my prayers ofttimes are to thy Lord. Yet, I shall say our Holy Lord may say that certain prayer caused Him to hath pity on me. For moments thereafter, our Father, who is inherently kind, caused me to inherit a blessed substance when He filled my heart with His kind answer.

And the answer was this: the Eternal Father was teaching me in that past prayer season to inextricably love Him, more than these!
