Scripture For Today:Proverbs 31:2“Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb! Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!Tune Into God pt 8We’ve been studying for the past week on how to “Tune into God.” Yesterday, we gave a perfect example of believing you receive your IMMEDIATE needs being met, verses having a want met. We shared a very vivid example and if you missed yesterday’s episode, go back and catch up. I believe it will open your eyes. Amen!God can answer immediately in all things. I’m not saying He will not answer. I have personally seem Him deliver me in a financial need. I don’t have time to go into here, but – well…ok, let me share this because it will serve as an example. There was a time when we literally were living paycheck to paycheck. And the Veterans Administration was sending me a monthly check while I was taking college classes…and that was about our only income.  And this was a NEED and not a want. I had called the government agency, it was the Veterans Administration, and they said the check was being printed that day and would be put in the outgoing mail later that afternoon. It normally would take another two days for it to arrive. Sometimes three. But I needed it the next day. And it was a NEED. I prayed…My wife and I went to the store and when we came back, out of habit, I looked in the mailbox and there was the check. It had not even been two hours after I called and was told it was being printed “that afternoon.” But here was the check. And the amazing part - There was not even a postage cancellation stamp in the corner!  Then, about 30 minutes later, the mail truck went by putting our daily mail in the mailbox…I believe God sent an angel who grabbed that check as soon as it was printed and that angel, under orders from God, flew out and put it my mail box. You can’t talk me into accepting any other explanation. But that was the only income we had at the time and I needed that check to pay the rent without incurring a late fee (that would have eaten up even more of our finances). SO YES – God will answer financial NEEDS immediately as well.But, let’s talk about some other needs. Have you ever faced an extreme circumstance where you were facing death in the face? I have. My time in the military and a few instances as a police officer, I have faced the prospect of “this could be it.” How do you react in those situations? By FAITH.  You see, faith WORKS every single time it is put to the test. Every single time.If you believe you will fail, guess what – you will.If you believe you will persevere – you will.That does not mean you can say over and over, “I believe I win; I believe I win; I believe I win” and then, miraculously, the enemy just dies of a heart attack right before you very eyes. It could happen, but that does not mean that. What I’m talking about is this…In those situations I was describing, I had to rely on my training. I had been trained for those exact situations. I had received the best training available. And the exact situation I was facing at that time, in my mind, though it was real, the training I had received kicked in.That is why the military trains so much!  We used to say in the Cavalry, “We train today just as we will fight tomorrow.” We had another saying that “we train to be wet, cold, tired and miserable. And we are experts at it.” Amen!But, when you are facing death in the face, you need to rely on your training. Then, something called, “muscle memory” kicks in.I was trained in martial arts in my military days. That training served me as a police officer a few times. I remember one instance, this person...
