WHAT IS PRAYER? IT IS A HEART FELT COMMUNICATION WITH GOD. PART 2.

What is a fervent prayer, that James reminds us of. 

A fervent prayer is a passionate sincere calling out to God. 

It can be for repentance, or for thanksgiving, or any situation you find yourself facing.

James 5:16

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Sometimes there are no words to express what we feel about what is happening. 

Thank God the Holy Spirit will intercede for us.

Romans 8 :26-28

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.  For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

And we know that ALL things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Remember beloved, we have a supernatural means to take over the things we cannot handle. 

Just call out to Jesus and say I give this to you. He will bring good out of it.

Question? Does God ever change His mind? (Relent)

Sometimes He does, read the story of Jonah.

Jonah 3:4-10. Read it all.

Moses interceded for Israel,  Exodus 32:12

Hezekiah's life extended. 2 Kings 20:5-6.

You will see because of His mercy the Lord did change His mind, God's nature never changes, but He has relented. He is God Almighty and He can do as He pleases.

We can see demonstrations all through God's word of His mercy and compassion on those who repent and return to the Lord.

Some of our prayers are answered in a day, or month or years, but they are answered.

His great love for us all, is shown by His mercy and grace for us.

When there is repentance, (A change of mind and actions) good will follow.

God doesn't need to hear fancy words, He needs to hear heart felt words. 

He knows you and loves you, so run into the arms of God and let Him minister His love to you. It all starts when entering the throne room in boldness and having assurance of His love.

Beloved, pray God's word, it is alive and powerful. Jesus used it in His temptation trial in the wilderness. 

He was led by the Spirit to go through all those temptations. (Think on this Matthew 4:1)

It is a great example for us to follow. Pray the name of Jesus, and pray His word, you not only will see changes take place because the Holy Spirit is active in our life, but we will grow in the love of the Lord.

Prayer is talking to your Lord, from your heart.

God Bless your day

Jesus loves you.

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....
