God knows before you even sneeze


Matthew 6:8 b
For your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.


The people of Israel were under attack by the Philistines.

1 Samuel Chapter 7; 7-10
Were and who would they turn to?
There choice ,
 There leader at that time Samuel and asked him to pray to the Lord, that they would be delivered from the impending slaughter.
Samuel been fully trained as a priest before by Eli in the temple from a young age.
He knew exactly how to approach God as laid out in the Holy Scriptures given to the Jews by God.
Before going into prayer for Israel’s deliverance from her enemies.
He began by the sacrificing of a lamb. he hardly had time to pray the request when the Philistines showed up and attacked Israel . 
The Lord thundered from heaven and sent confusion and set the Philistines back on there heels.
The slaughter of the Philistines and victory for Israel was grand as God once again delivered his people out of the hand Israel’s enemies.
God had heard Samuel's prayer even before he prayed it.
This was not the first time God had heard the prayer of Israel and delivered them
See Josh 10; 10 Judges 4; 15.

 Samuel was a righteous man .
Samuel was faithful in his duties and devotion before God.
People knew exactly who to turn to time of trouble a man who could approach the holy God a man with oil in his lamp a man who had favor with God.

That is still true today 

After the events of 9/11 in the USA the nation looked to its christian spiritual leaders for comfort and help prayers the performing of christian songs on nation wide TV and address to the nation were wide spread .
But all to soon in time the need for God in the nation began to become distant for many .
 This is a very common fault we can all have in not paying attention to the devotion to God in the good times but when some personal tragic event hits then turning to him .

We need to be devoted in both the good and bad times .

James 5; 16 confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

 Application.

Are you under an attack in some way?
Have a need?
Maybe a victory against the demons of torment or addiction maybe some sinful habit?

Jesus said even before you pray your heavenly father know exactly what you need.
Coming before him in prayer and asking is vital, you have not because you ask not.
But we must be mindful that the Lord knows exactly what we need how to he can give us the victory, how to set free, deliver,heal, fight our battles  
Faith come s by hearing and hearing Gods word ponder what the Lord did for Israel in the above scripture's let your faith arise today brothers and sister rise up claim your inheritance victory is your inheritance.
Defeat is not the inheritance of the sons and daughters of the living God .
God declares to you today you are the head not the tail .
Sometimes the victory’s of the Lord is fast & sweet and other time the battle rages on sometimes for long periods .
But never give up on the one who fights for you .
Today if you will call upon the King of heaven he knows exactly what you need and he is watching over his word watching over you to hear you cry
