Our Heavenly Father, being Almighty, can do anything. However, He does for His children according to the correct exercise of their Faith. We must exercise Faith to please Him. Hebrews 11:6 declares, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” God exists in the realm of Eternity and manifests things in the natural realm to bless our lives. He has established a “Reward System” for doing so. Therefore, to experience His Power release, we must intelligently believe that His blessings are released as a reward for actions that we take according to His directions. He is a Rewarder of those who diligently “seek” Him. Diligence is marked by focused, persevering effort. He releases Power and performs after we do His ordained actions, which are His Will. His Blessings are automatically released as a reward, being attached to the ordained actions.
God exists in secret; He sees in secret; and He rewards openly. Therefore, His seeking process is a secret one, which He watches. He has ordained three actions that we are to enter into secretly, perform and receive rewards. The first is Fasting. St. Matthew 6:16-18 declare, “Moreover when ye fast be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
The second is Prayer. Fasting and Prayer are connected. We must pray to Him in secret for results. St. Matthew l6:5-8 declare, “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
The third thing is Alms giving, which is giving to bless those in critical need. St. Matthew 6:1-4 declare, “Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shalt reward thee openly. We perform as follows: (l) understand God’s secret process, (2) set ourselves mentally and perform the action and (3) expect manifestation of rewards to supply our need. This pleases God. God Bless.
