Get a New
   Answer!
 

Do you feel you are at a time in your circumstances that you need something new?  Conditions or needs or desires are not going anywhere.  You keep searching for answers but they aren’t there.  The ones you’ve tried haven’t worked.  No more do you want to hear the same response that it won’t be done.  It can't happen.  It’s time for a new response to what you must see done.  You need to hear, “It will be done.”  God can show you how to get a new response.  See something different happen from your prayers and your efforts and your endeavors.
I.    Refuse To Accept No.
II.   Look Beyond the Limit.
III.  Be There When the
         Opening Comes. 
IV.  Use a Different Approach. 
V.   Stand When You’re Stalled.   

   When
   you're
   getting
the wrong
response...!

   Most of us don’t like to be told no when we are asking for something we need.  At that point we have to decide how we can get to where we want to be in the issue we’re facing or how to achieve the desire we have.  Or do we just back away and accept that it won’t happen?

   I have to admit the ministry Partners who contact us for prayer and stay in a prayer of agreement with us and keep believing and refusing to accept no, they’re the ones that see a turnaround.  They eventually see the “yes” happen in the will of God.

   I recently heard from a woman who had asked us to pray about her son who was in a terrible relationship.  She said the woman was so bad for him because she didn’t serve God and they were in a wrong type of relationship.  She could see how he was affected by it and going down.

   It’s so difficult for a parent to watch their child have their life hurt by another person that way.  But you know, they are an adult, so she couldn’t just walk in and demand he give up that relationship.  She could talk to him and warn him that it’s the wrong road, but he makes his own choice.

   Yet even so, we are not powerless.  When we have conditions that seem beyond our control, we are not powerless.  In fact, we have a greater power—prayer and faith.  God can send the right people, create the right conditions, change hearts, make provision.  There is so much you can do in whatever type of situation you’re facing.  There IS something you can do when you pray.  So don’t accept no.

   This mother was getting a "no"response from her son that he would not get out of that wrong relationship.  But she wouldn’t accept it in the spiritual realm.  So the good news is that the time came when he broke it off on his own and became free of that relationship.  We praised God and believed he would take the right path from now on.

   But you know the devil doesn’t stop working.  That’s why we can’t stop working.  We have to continue praying and believing.  Speak the Word of God over the situation.  Well, sure enough, the son went back into the wrong relationship with the same woman.  The mother said, “I tried to talk to him and he wouldn’t listen so it was going from bad to worse.  I called in for prayer and we agreed together that the Lord would reveal to him the futility of the relationship.  We also agreed that the Lord would deal with him.”  What was she doing?  Refusing to accept no.  Even though he’s on his second round with this woman.

   It didn’t matter how the conditions appeared, mama was going to get a new response.  She knew God could still bring him out again, and this time make it permanent.  So when she called,  John and I prayed and interceded again.  We combated the wrong spirit forces that were influencing that relationship.  We joined the mother in speaking the Word of God into the conditions.  We believed!  And we received.

   By the time God got finished, the son came back out of being with the woman.  This time he said to his mother, “I broke it off.  I realized she’s not a good person to be with.”  That mother was praising God!  You see, she continued to believe until she got a new response.  The one she knew was best for her son.

   Don’t accept anything less than what is best.  When you’re getting the wrong response don’t accept no, because the right answer is out there for you.  There is a way to receive it.  God can show you the steps in the natural that you must take, and in the supernatural.  When you take the natural steps, plus take the supernatural steps, you can receive a new response instead of no.

   It reminds me of the woman in II Kings chapter 4 from Shunem.  After her son had a stroke and passed away, she went to get the prophet, Elisha, immediately for him to pray for her son to be raised up.  When she found him, she wouldn’t accept no.  He had to come back to her house and pray.  Because he did, her son was raised up.

   This same woman had to move away from her home during a long famine in her area, then when she returned, someone had taken over her property.  So she visited the King and God arranged for the servant of Elisha to be there with the king who knew this woman.  So she was granted favor and received all her property back plus all the profits that had been gained while she was gone.

   Refuse to accept no and believe God can do so much more than what seems possible, you can hear a big YES to the answer you need.

Spiritual powerline to say out loud:

“I GET A NEW ANSWER!”
 

Here is a powerful prayer to say out loud:

Father!  I see a way now for me to receive a yes to my need.  You are making the way supernaturally.  So help me to know all the steps in the natural I should take and to believe You are working in the supernatural for what I need.  My heart hears the word “yes” coming and I am thrilled.  In the name of Jesus.  Amen.
