The Persistent Widow And Prayer



As Jesus continues to intercede with the Father for His Church, and Israel — WAKE UP!


Let's stand strong and pray that God gives us the spirit of wisdom and revelation for this time! Let's pray with tenacity, persistence, and determination!! No excuses!!


The parable of the persistent widow comes immediately after Jesus explains the coming of the Kingdom, discussing the days of the Son of Man, as well as drawing parallels to the days of Noah and the days of Lot.


Following His discussion on the last days, Jesus directs the attention of His disciples to the story of the Persistent Widow, concluding it with a thought-provoking question:


"Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8


He knows that His Church will grow weary, tired, and exhausted from battling the enemy during the last days, as He says in Revelation 3:


"For you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name." (Rev 3:8)


But He emphasizes a crucial point: we should always be praying and never give up! This story illustrates the persistence of a vulnerable widow who consistently approaches a judge to present her case.


In accordance with Jewish law, widows are entitled to special protection within the justice system.


Despite this, the unjust judge dismisses her pleas -Nevertheless, she refuses to give up! After a while, the judge thinks to himself, "I don't really care about God or people, but this woman is driving me insane! I'll make sure she gets what she wants just to get her off my back!


The widow receives the justice she sought.


Jesus then clarifies His message: if an indifferent and unjust judge can eventually provide justice, how much more will a loving and holy Father ensure that what is right is given to His children?


We are like that widow, with a case to plead before the Father. The system is rigged, the world is unfair, and we are being mistreated!! BUT JESUS will come to avenge us speedily!


He says to us today: "And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily."


Now is the time to pray like never before!


This is the way God wants us to pray—like that persistent widow to an unfair judge! Be persistent, consistent, fierce, and fervent in your prayers! Give it your all, leaving nothing behind!


Be as annoying and persistent as the widow who drove the unfair judge crazy!!

IF YOU ARE NOT IN CHRIST, PLEASE GET SAVED RIGHT NOW! THERE IS NOT MUCH TIME LEFT!


Believe Jesus is the Son of God, who shed His blood for you, died on the cross for our sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, according to the Scriptures, so we can have eternal life with Him.


The moment you believe in Him and that He died for your sins - you're saved, justified, sealed until the day of redemption, and rapture ready!


The Holy Spirit will come to live inside of you - He will help you, guide you, change you, and be with you FOREVER!


"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:16-18)
