In the first verse, Jude says: "To the called ones, dear in God the Father..." You are dear to God. God is not false. He would not see your suffering and would remain inert, without helping you, without solving your problem... NO! The thing is just not happening because you are not allowing it. You are not allowing the Father to do the work in your life. You need to seek knowledge of God, you need to know your rights and fight your problem. See what your need is, what your disability is, and fight in prayer. Don't be discouraged, don't stop praying until the blessing comes. If you have to pray for a month, pray for a month, if you have to pray for a whole year, pray my brother... don't give up. Because the truth is that God doesn't make us wait... He can perfectly give you the blessing right away, but sometimes you need to get rid of certain things you've been doing so that the spirit of that mistake you've been making can be trapped and prevented from stealing your blessings.
