Asking God in Prayer!

We all need and desire things, but we often try to provide them for ourselves. We have jobs, family members, and possibly money in the bank. We try to figure out how we are going to produce that thing in which we have need of. I have an answer and that is prayer!

In Philippians 4:6 -7 (NIV) the word says, Do not be anxious for anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding , will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

We are not to be anxious and worry about anything, but we are to take all things to God!

1 John 5:14-15 (NIV) says, This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that is we ask anything according to his will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us -whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of Him.

We should have strong confidence in God that He hears our prayers, and patience to wait on Him to answer them.

James 5:17-18 (NIV) says, Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

Elijah was human like us, and if he was able to pray and things happened we should be able to also. God hears our prayer just as He heard Elijah's.

Psalm 27:14 (NIV) says, Wait for the Lord; Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

If it takes time we should be patient, because God works in perfect timing!

Matthew 7:7-8 (AMP) says, Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened. 

Sometimes it takes us praying again and to keep on asking, but God will answer! Don't lose faith!

1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) says, Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

Cast all your worry and anxiety on God!

Jeremiah 29: 11-12 (NIV) says, For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord," plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

God's plans for us are to prosper us and give us hope. We are the sheep he plans to direct our steps, we shall not want, we shall have green pastures, still waters, and tables prepared before us. (Psalms 23)

Mark 10:27 (KJV) says, And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

For with God all things are possible to them that believe, for we are given a measure of faith.

Philippians 4:19-20 (AMP) says, And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Pray to the Father (God) and He will hear and answer your prayers!

Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) says, so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Speak your prayers out of your mouth and believe they will be heard of God and not return unto you void!

Letting Go of Fear, Anxiety, and Worry!

Now that we have started a new year everyone is starting new year resolutions. Some people want to eat healthier. Some want to have better spending habits. And others want to have a closer walk with Christ. These are all good things to incorporate into the new year, but one could also start the new year off by letting go of fear, anxiety and worry. These are not fruits of the spirit and they can hinder one's ability in life.   In 2 Timothy 1:7 it says, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Fear, anxiety, and worry are in this world, but it is not given to us by God. If it is not given to us by God we should not hold onto it.   In Isaiah 26:3 it says, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.  We should put all our trust in God! If God is leading us we will not fail and we should not have fear or anxiety following God. In Exodus 14:13-14 it says, And Moses said unt...

The Gift!

Since we are in the month of December I would like to talk about gifts! Biblically thinking there are three types of gifts. There are gifts that we give to one another, like on special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Then we think of sacrificial offerings presented to God. And lastly, there are gifts God gives to us, such as salvation, righteousness, and His grace. God is the ultimate gift giver and a perfect one at that! I'm referring to especially salvation! In James 1:17 KJV it says, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.  In 1 John 2:27 it says, But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,... This anointing that abides in you is a special gift, the preparation! Then in Ephesians 2:8-9 it says, For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should bo...

Obedience Yields Results

We read in Hebrews 11:6 that, But without faith it is impossible to please Him. We must have faith to please God, and to even believe that He is God! The word tells us in Matthew 17:20 ...If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder places; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. If we are to believe that the word is true we should obey it! In John 21:6 the word says, And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. They had been fishing all night and yielded no fish in return, but after being obedient unto the word of Jesus they produced more fish than they were able to handle. The word of God gives us so many examples of individuals being obedient unto God and they yielded results! In Matthew 8:13 the words says, And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believe...
