I turned my face to the wall. I turned away from everything else.

With great intensity, I began to call upon Him.

Finally I said, "Now, Lord, You have promised us in your Word at least 70 or 80 years. That's a minimum. You said in your Word, 'I will satisfy you with long life.' "

(If you're not satisfied with 70 or 80 years, go on living beyond that.)

I said, "You promised us that 70 or 80 would be a minimum, and Momma's only 68. If she doesn't get the minimum, I'll never be satisfied. The longest day I live on this earth, I'm going to remind You of it. I don't mean I'm going to turn my back on You, but I'll never feel good toward You about it."

The Lord said to me immediately, just as plain as if He had been standing beside me—"All right. I'll do whatever you say about it."

I said, "Give her at least 80 years." I knew she didn't have enough faith to claim it on her own, but she lived to be 80. Just a few days after she passed her 80th birthday, she went home to be with the Lord.

I think sometimes we're too mealy-mouthed when it comes to seeking God.

Jesus said something about this subject: "the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force" (Matt. 11:12).

God's the same God now He was then. He's the same God King Hezekiah prayed to. He's the same God Martin Luther prayed to. He hasn't changed. He's the God of the ages. He is the Ageless One. With Him there is no shadow of turning.

Thank God for this hour in which you and I live. Think about it: We can read the Word of God. We can read history. We can see what God is doing today in this charismatic move.

How much stronger our faith should be. How much more should we be encouraged through faith to take authority over all the powers of hell and the devil.

We can turn our face to the wall, so to speak, pray to God, and believe God, because we are workers with Him. How do we know we are workers together? We know because the Word says so.

God has made man's cooperation necessary in the Plan of Redemption. We must cooperate with God in order to enjoy our rights in His redemptive plan. That's the reason He said, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth"

(Mark 9:23).

The Bible tells us, "the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him" (2 Chron. 16:9).

He sent His Word to tell us what His plan is. He sent His Word to tell us that the Lord Jesus came and consummated that plan, arose from the dead, and then sat down at the right hand of the Father. You don't sit down until the job is finished; that's why He sat down.
