BE NOT AFRAID OF SUDDEN FEAR

Posted on July 17, 2015 by admin

Please be careful and prayerful out there. In these days of unrest and uncertainty we need to remember to pray and ask for the Lords protection, especially when we go into public places or gatherings where large amounts of people are gathered. “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” (Psalm 34:7). Here are some other good verses to claim for Gods protection. “HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” (Psalm 91:1-11). “Jesus said; “yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God’s service.” (John 16:2). This prophecy is certainly being fulfilled today. There are many lost souls deceived by the devil, who think they are going to be given 70 virgins if they blow themselves, and others up, it is hard to comprehend such thinking. They have been taught this horrible stuff since they were small children. That shows you how important it is to “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6). Claim the blood of Jesus over yourselves when you go out there. Of course it is better if you have to go, go preaching the Gospel, and witnessing. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” (Psalm 116:15). He that touches you puts his finger in the apple of God’s eye. (Zechariah 2:8). Remember the Bible says; “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” (II Timothy 3:12,13). So the sooner things get worse lift up your heads, because your redemption draweth neigh, Jesus is coming back to straighten this world out. “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” (Luke 21: 25,26). Jesus said, “LET NOT your heart be troubled:” (John 14:1a). “Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.” (Proverbs 3:25). “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (II Timothy 1:7). “THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: BECAUSE FEAR HATH TORMENT.HE THAT FEARETH IS NOT MADE PERFECT IN LOVE.” (I John 4:18)

Say this prayer to be saved: Dear Jesus, I want to know you and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me.I believe you are the Only Begotten Son of God, and you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Savior. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD

Posted on July 14, 2015 by admin

THE LORD IS SPEAKING. ARE YOU LISTENING? THIS MESSAGE IS GOOD EVERYDAY.

HEARING FROM THE LORD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON TO LEARN, AND IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON THAT WE NEED TO TEACH TO OTHERS ESPECIALLY TO OUR CHILDREN AND NEW CHRISTIANS. We need to learn how to pray and talk to God, by praying to Jesus his Son and the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and how to listen to him most of all. You wouldn’t just go in front of a King and start asking for things and then turn around and leave. “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted, among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”(Psalm 46:10). “And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind and earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.” (I Kings 19:11,12). “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” (Isaiah 30:21). If you have faith and you are in the spirit, when you ask the Lord for an answer you can take the first thing that comes to you. First impressions are usually from the Lord, if we are sincerely seeking him. There needs to be special times when we have desperate prayer to the Lord, when you cry out to him with your whole heart, and on your face alone with God, and not just on your knees, but with tears and sincere desperation, and even prostrate yourself before him. “Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:12,13). Jesus said, to enter into your closet and pray in secret. “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,and when thou hast shut thy door,pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. “ (Matthew 6:6).The Lord will speak to you in a still small voice,and other ways also. Sometimes he will speak to you with a dream or a vision. “For God Speaketh once,yea twice,yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream,in a vision of the night,when deep sleep falleth upon men,in slumberings upon the bed;Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from him. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.”(Job 33:14-18). “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20).You have to check everything out by the Word. True Revelations from God will not contradict the Bible ! ! ! The Lord did not stop speaking after he gave the Book of Revelation to John. God’s broadcasting station is always on, we just need to learn how to tune into it. The Lord is always trying to speak to us and show us new things. He even speaks to us through his creation, but don’t worship the creation more than the Creator. “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” (Romans 1:20). One time God even made a donkey to speak. “And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do. And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the Lord stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him. And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. But the angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side. And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again.And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:and the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive. And Balaam said unto the angel of the Lord, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again. And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.”(Numbers 22:20-35). The Lord spoke to me one time through a Television show. It was about a guy with my same name who had two kids which I had two at this time. He was an Armored car operator, which I was at the time. Some bad guys had kidnapped his wife & kids to get him to deliver the money to them. I saw this show when I came home from work one day, and was so amazed that the Lord went to all this trouble to speak to me through this T.V. show, that I quit my job the next morning. Shortly after that the Armored car was involved in a robbery and shoot out and one of the drivers was killed. This happened on the same route that I took everyday, and it could have been me, I’m glad I listened to the Lord. So be on the look out, and be alert and tuned into God, He wants to speak to you today. Will you make time to listen? Remember in order to hear from the Lord , you have got to get away from all the hustle and bustle and noise and get alone and get quiet and pour out your heart to him and then get quiet and listen. He will speak to you. Remember praying to Jesus is praying to God. “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” (John 10:9). Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) ^“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.” (John 16:12). See the class, “The Holy Spirit”, in this web site, www.answersintheword.com

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

UNDERSTANDING FAITH

Posted on July 13, 2015 by admin

We are supposed to believe his Word simply because he said so! The Lord wants us to have faith in his Word and not always to have to have a sign. The Word is all the sign you need! Why does God insist that we believe in something we cannot see and cannot feel purely by Faith in his Word? The Lord wants us to trust him just like a little child trusts his parent. It’s because the Lord loves faith. “NOW FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).The word substance comes from the Greek word “Hupostasis,” which means the “Title Deed”. In other words if you have the Title Deed to a property you know that you own it and you can be sure it is yours even if you have never even seen it ! “Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). He loves us because we believe in him just because he said so. It’s a way of showing our love and our confidence in him. Faith really shows that we have love. It’s like a child has to trust a parent even though he doesn’t always understand why he must do this or that. He just has to do it because Daddy said so , and Daddy knows best. It’s a form of love that the child loves his parent and trusts his parents and has confidence in them and takes their word for it. And that’s the way we have to be with the Lord. We should just say to him. “Yes Sir !” And believe it and do it simply because he said so! Trust him and take him at his WORD! “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20:29). We can know Jesus better today and be closer to him through the Holy Spirit and faith in his word then the disciples were, who lived and walked with him. IF you want to have stronger faith, get more into the Word. “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possiable to him that believeth. And staightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief” (Mark 9: 23,24). “And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.” (Luke 17: 5). “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). “Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believeing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (I Peter 1:8, 9).You can’t see faith , but you can see what faith can do. “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief” (Matthew 13:58). So if you want the Lord to do mighty works through you, then increase your faith by getting more in the Word. Don’t limit the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL. FAITH WILL SEE US THROUGH .

LIVING BY FAITH

Posted on July 12, 2015 by admin

We are supposed to walk by faith and not by feelings. I don’t know of anywhere in the Bible that it says that God will give you some kind of a feeling. Although sometimes I do get a feeling from the Holy Spirit. But the Bible says to walk and live by faith. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” (II Corinthians 5:7 ). We need to claim the promises from his Word and walk by Faith. The Lord sometimes asks us to do something to show we have Faith. He said, “Take Ye away the stone.” (John 11:39).Then he raised Lazareth from the dead. Jesus told the blind man to go and wash his eyes in the Pool of Siloam, “He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.” (John 9:7b).The lame beggar was told to rise and take up his bed and walk.The Bible tells us to “confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and we will be saved.” (Romans 10:9&10). Many times the Lord requires us to do some type of action to prove that we have faith.“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” (James 2:26). Remember the story of the three men walking on a wall, feeling, faith,and fact. Feeling had an awful fall, and faith was taken back, only fact remained, and fact pulled up faith, and faith pulled up feeling, and they walked happily on the wall again. “Now the just shall live by faith; but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” (Hebrews 10:38). “And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee and thou shalt be clean.” (II Kings 5:10). “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” (Hebrews 11:8-10). Works won’t save you, but works show that you have faith which saves you. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” ( Philippians 4:19). We have come this far by FAITH leaning on the Lord, trusting in his HOLY WORD. He has never failed me yet, and he never will. If you want more faith get more into the WORD. ” So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17). ” for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” (Romans 14:23b). ” And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” (Matthew 13:58).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen

JESUS IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN !

Posted on July 11, 2015 by admin

“Bless the Lord. 0 my soul, and forget not all his benefits; who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.”(Psalm 103:2-3).The Lord made us and he can heal us. There are no exceptions, Jesus can heal anything. “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”( Luke 1:37).You have got to quote the terms of the contract (The Bible)To God (The Contract Maker) and belive his promises and don’t ever doubt in your heart, and pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, and to Jesus Christ, and it will be done. If you know the Lord then he expects you to have faith for healing, but it doesn’t hurt to ask others to pray for you too. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:13:16). “He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from all their destructions.”(Psalm 107:20). When you’re sick it’s a good time to really get into the word. If your sick take some Gospills, Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. “Behold I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything to hard for me?”(Jeremiah 32:27). “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5&6).”Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.”( Psalm 34:19). “Thus sayeth the Lord, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker. Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.”( Isaiah 45:11).This is Jesus talking, “The Holy One of Israel.” “And his Maker “, this is talking about God who made Jesus. This verse is actually Jesus & God speaking together to us. God said; we can even command him according to his word in the Name of Jesus Christ his Only Begotten Son. This is the kind of faith that pleases God ! “If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:14). “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth”.( Mark 9:23).“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” ( Mark 11:23). You have the greatest power of all creation standing by to help you, in the Name Of Jesus Christ. All the Atom bombs and Hydrogen Bombs in the whole world can’t change one heart, or heal one person, but faith in God’s promises, in the Name Of Jesus Christ the Only Begotten Son of God, will never fail you ! “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). “When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Mark 2:17)

THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT

Posted on July 10, 2015 by admin

There is a beautiful true story in the Bible about a poor woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years, one day she heard about Jesus and all the miracles he was doing. She heard how he was healing all the people who were sick and came unto him, even the people who had the dreaded disease of leprosy, and the blind, and the deaf, and even raising the dead. She heard that he was coming to her town. She just had to meet him. She managed to bring herself down to the main road where he was sure to pass by. There was already a great crowd of people waiting when she got there. Suddenly someone said, ” here he comes”. By this time the crowd was so big that she was worried that she wouldn’t even be able to get near him. The disciples were all around him making a way through the crowd so Jesus could get by. Suddenly he walked near her. She still couldn’t get close to him. She said within herself. If I could just reach out and touch the hem of his garment I would be healed. She was on the ground at this time . She reached out by someones feet, (probably one of the disciples), and touched the hem of his garment. Jesus immediately stopped and said to his disciples” Who touched me”? The disciples said, the whole crowd is thronging you, and you asked who touched you? He reached down to the woman and said, “daughter be of good comfort, thy faith hath made the whole” and the woman was healed. You can read this wonderful story in the Bible, in Luke 8:40-48, and Matthew 9:20-22. Oh, won’t you reach out by faith and touch the hem of his garment? He is passing by and wants to make you whole.

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

GOD’S SECRET PLACE

Posted on July 9, 2015 by admin

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty.”( Psalm 91:1). Where is this secret place of the most high? Is it in the Mountains, at the beach, or maybe at a church building? I would say none of the above, but yet maybe any of the above. It could even be in a closet or a jail cell. “ But the hour cometh, and now is when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in “Spirit”, and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit;, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” ( John 4:23,24). “ Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto to the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” ( Isaiah 55:6,7). “ And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” ( Jeremiah 29:13). These verses tell us how to find God’s Secret Place. Have you found it in your heart with Jesus today?

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

TAKE TIME FOR PRAYER AND THE WORD

Posted on July 8, 2015 by admin

Jesus said “Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” (Matthew 5:6).“My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.”(John 10:27). Do you hunger and thirst to learn God’s truths from his Word? Or is there always something keeping you away? It is the Devil’s job to keep us away from really getting into the Word and prayer. Beloved I say this unto you, out of love and concern. We need to ask ourselves are we really that sheepy or do we follow afar off from the Good Shepherd and get lost from him and get caught in the rocks and crannies and brambles where the wolves can get us? I hope you spend time with the Master praying and feasting on his Word daily. There is a story in the Bible; “Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” (Luke l0: 38-42). How about you? Have you chosen that good part that shall not be taken away? Do you sit at Jesus’s feet and learn from him the words he has to say to you? We have to make time, to take time for prayer, and God’s Word, We take time to eat shouldn’t we take time to feed our spirits every day.”Neither have I gone back from the commandments of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.”( Job 23:12).

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

IMPORTANT TRUTHS TO KNOW ABOUT PRAYER (part 3)

Posted on July 7, 2015 by admin

The Lord wants you to grow spiritually in faith in him, and not lean on your own understanding or someone else’s faith. But have your own faith in him and his Word. Here are some good verses that you can claim and even quote them to Jesus when you pray. “As thou hast believed , so be it done unto thee.”(Matthew 8:13). “Jesus saith unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23). “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”(Luke 1:37). “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”(James 1:1-6). Don’t doubt and be double minded with your prayers if you want God to answer them. “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”(Mark 11:23), Don’t doubt in your heart. “ verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”(Matthew 17:20). The purpose of this class is to help give you some basic lessons about prayer. For those who already know all of this information. I hope this will be an inspiring review. I know it is for me. Sometimes time and circumstances just wont allow you to follow all of these important points, but when you do make time for the Lord to pray, its good to remember this class and follow it as best as you can. Remember to “Pray without ceasing.” (I Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer is something you can always be doing no matter what else you are doing. Also don’t forget to listen to the Lord. “Be still and know that I am God.”( Psalm 46:10a). The Lord often speaks in a still small voice You’ve spoken your peace, let God speak his, and let him speak first. “And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire; a still small voice.” ( I Kings 19:12). “ And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”. ( Isaiah 30:21). It helps to get quiet and listen to hear the still small voice of God.Finally don’t forget to pray in the name of Jesus. There is wonder working power in his name. “whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name, he may give it you.” (John 15:16 b). “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name that will I do, that the father may be glorified in the son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13,14 ). “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father but by me.” (John 14:6 ). “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Timothy 2:5). “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”(John 10:9). Since Jesus is the door of the Trinnity consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, we can pray directly to Jesus who is our High Priest. Praying straight to Jesus is praying to God and the Holy Ghost too at the same time.

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Praise and thank the Lord for all his goodness, and mercies, and blessings. “ I WILL bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”(Psalm 34:1). Instead of just jumping into prayer asking God to do this and that. We need to show some respect and honor to the King of Kings. You wouldn’t just go wondering up in front of a King and demand him to do things. How much more respect should we show to our Almighty Lord and Savior. It is good to praise the Lord, it’s like priming a pump to get the water flowing. We need to get Gods Spirit flowing. We need to be humble before the Lord. “ He hath shown thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God” (Micah 6:8). “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.” (Proverbs 22:4).Pray for others before praying for yourself. Pray for the Missionaries who are God’s front line soldiers on the battlefield against the devil. Pray for lost souls. “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them. Because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” ( Matthew 9:36-38). Pray for those who are in prison for the Gospels sake. “Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them;” (Hebrews 13:3a). There are many people and situations to pray for before praying for ourselves. The Lord will lead you, just ask him.Next pray for yourself and your needs. “Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.” ( Matthew 7:7). “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” ( Philippians 4:19). “Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4). “Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” (James 4:3). God always answers prayer. He says yes, no, or wait. Waiting on the Lord is one of the hardest lessons we all have to, and need to learn. We need to have faith when we ask the Lord for something. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). Take a stand of FAITH on God’s promises in his word. You have got to quote the terms of the contract (The BIBLE) to the contract maker (God) ! “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27). “Thus saith the Lord, the Holy one of Israel, (JESUS) and his Maker (GOD). Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.” (Isaiah 45:11). “ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:5,6).

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. I believe that you were crucified on the cross and died for all my sins, and rose from the dead. Please forgive me of all my sins. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
