PRAYERS THAT COME FROM OUR HEART AND NOT JUST OUR HEAD. Part 1.

 It is time to be more transparent with our Lord and be real with our prayers.

We have 4 kinds of prayer in the bible.

1. Adoration.  2. Confession.  3.Thanksgiving and 4.  Supplication.(We will discuss these in Part 2)

The way to remember them are to remind yourself what is written in the book of Acts.

When we pray it should always come from our heart, as Jesus wants us to realize that prayer is part of our relationship with Him.

Hebrews 4:16

Let us  therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace  to help in time of need.

Run into the arms of Jesus, He loves you.

Some believers pray religious repetitions, things that they have learned to do.  

These do not impress God as He wants your prayer to come from your heart, not your head.

When you love someone you are open and familiar with them, with no holding back.

Jesus longs for our communion with Him. 

When we know deep in our heart that we belong to the Lord and that He loves us, we will come boldly to meet with Him and fellowship with Him.

Like the old song "Just as I am, without one plea" Come as you are.  because God knows you, He knows all your weaknesses and mistakes, but He loves you just the same.

Beloved there is nothing hidden from God's eyes.

Matthew 10:24-26

"A disciple is not above his teacher, and a servant like his master.  It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher,  and a servant like his master.  If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of His household.

Therefore do not fear them.  For there is nothing covered what will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

When we sin, we should be quick to run into the arms of Jesus and confess.  He already knows about it, but wants us to rid ourselves of the guilt and shame by coming to Him and letting His precious blood wash it away so that the enemy cannot use it against us.

When we fail to confess and stuff it in our soul, then the enemy has something to work with.     Reminding us how bad we are and that God doesn't love us.  

He is a liar and has always been one.  It is very important that you confess and forsake and move on.

Isaiah 54:17

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,  and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.

See Beloved, there is no judgment after you have confessed sins.

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins,  He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The enemy can not judge what has been washed away.  There is nothing for him to work  with against you.  its gone!

Romans 6:12

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

Proverbs 16:17

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil;  He who keeps his way preserves his soul.

Beloved, when we spend time with Jesus in prayer, we will come out with a new perspective on matters that were a concern to us.

Talking to Jesus from our heart makes all the difference.  

When we are told  to come boldly, then that is what we need to do.

While our soul is going through a transformation, our spirit is complete, new and full of the life of God.

Colossians 2:10

and you are complete in Him, (Jesus)  who is the head of all principality and power.

Beloved, be bold when you have a need.

Psalm 107:20

He sent His word and healed them.  And delivered them from their destructions.

Jesus is the living word, pray His word when you need healing. Mind, body, or soul.  If you have a deep concern about anything.

Like the lady I prayed with for her need.

When I ministered at Women's Aglow, a lady came up in the prayer line and asked for prayer for her daughter to be able to get a dress for a special occasion.

I told her God knew her heart before she ever came to the meeting and He has already made provision for her answer.  

When the ladies in charge went to pay me for ministering, I told them write the check to this lady.  

God answered her prayer sooner than she thought.  Tears of joy flowed from her.

Beloved, God hears our heart before we even ask.  But He does say ask,  so ask!

Prayers that we have learned from our head often are delayed prayers until they come from our heart.

God is looking for intimacy that requires our faith in trusting Him.

Part two next week.


God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus 

Joy

I love that we can come boldly before the throne of God and just talk to him as though we’re talking to our best friend because he should be our best friend. He loves us and it’s time for the body of Christ to pray. Big bold prayers, because I believe as we do step out and pray these prayers that the word of God will go forth, and it will accomplish all that it has been set out to do, and we will see hearts changed, not only our heart, but those around us, those in this community those in this world, it’s time for the body of Christ to stand up and pray bold prayers, and to remember that we belong to the King of kings and Lord of lords. And absolutely nothing is impossible with Him!!!❤️

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...

THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN FORGIVENESS, ENVY AND SIN IN THE HEALING OF OUR BODY.

MANY CHRISTIAN'S HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THEIR HEALING, BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FORGIVE. OUR HEALING OF MIND AND BODY ARE DEEPLY CONNECTED, JESUS SAID SO. UNFORGIVENESS IS A SIN.  WE MISS THE MARK THAT GOD HAS SET, WHEN WE HOLD ONTO THAT SIN. BECAUSE IT ONLY HURTS US.  I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE.   MY BODY BROKE DOWN AND I HEARD THE LORD SAY,  "JOY, AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FORGIVE YOU CANNOT BE HEALED IN YOUR BODY"  I  FORGAVE AND MY BODY WAS HEALED OF A DISEASE THAT THERE IS NO CURE FOR. IT ONLY CRIPPLES YOU. THIS IS PROVEN OUT IN GOD'S WORD. (John 5:1-15) Read the whole thing. The man healed by the pool.  John 5: 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, " See, you have been made well, Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you." PROVERBS 14:30 A SOUND HEART IS LIFE TO THE BODY, BUT ENVY IS ROTTENNESS TO THE BONES. (ARTHRITIS)  All sickness is not from the devil, although he does magnify the symptoms....
