Answer to Prayer
Answer to Prayer-God’s Style!
Come to the Hope Connection this Monday night (Central Lutheran7-8) and hear a moving Testimony from Darcy on how she has moved forward by taking responsibility for her actions, being accountable and how the court system honored that! Its beautiful!
It’s seeing God in Romans 8: 28 And we know that in ALL things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
COME YOU WILL BE BLESSED!
We are being conformed to the image of Jesus, THROUGH all things, whether good or bad! And why are we being conformed? Because we LOVE the Lord! But let us not forget that we love HIm, because He FIRST loved us!
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
This will be a Testimony that next time we’re going through a tough time, let us remember that for us who love the Lord, it is of necessity to go through the trial, because through it, God conforms us to the image of Christ!
I don’t know about you, but knowing that I can be and look like Jesus is super
exciting, woohoo!!
*So, in ALL things, can we just give THANKS?
*So, in ALL Things, can we speak Peace and Blessings verses any Curses?
*Who knows what will happen when we do!
If you sow seed in these areas you will reap a harvest in due season. It may not
be apparent right away, but once the seed is sown and it is continually watered a harvest WILL come forth. In like manner, if you sow seed to your Spirit you will reap fruit of the Spirit.
What are the fruit of the Spirit?
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance(Galatians 5:22-23).
Continue to sow to your Spirit through the word of God and through prayer and you will reap life everlasting.
Don’t become weary in doing well,
this line right here is a very interesting good line, listen, don’t take the attitude,
“I’m tired of doing what is good, it’s getting me nowhere”.
This is doing well in the flesh, but doing well in the Spirit is, “Lord I’m tired strengthen me to continue in what I know you have placed in my hand I want to bring you glory”
* Let this be your heart cry when you become tired, He will strengthen you and you will reap a blessed harvest, if you do not give up.
Galations 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6
Worry is a type of FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) which is a negitively charged Faith.
* Fear is having more faith in what satan can do to you, than in what God has done for you.
* Go to God in prayer.
* Thank God for what He has done for you.
*Then open up His Word and quote the promises that covers your need, back to Him.
*Finally, thank Him for giving it to you! Don’t worry! Just thank Him!
Now Let’s Pray with others Daily!
*It is interesting what happens when you offer to pray for someone. This is putting our Faith into action. Offering to pray for someone can be the most genuine and loving thing you can do for another person.
* Prayer can be the one means of getting a conversation on a spiritual plane that cuts across religious stigmas and gets to the ROOT of the problem – the person’s REAL need.
*Prayer immediately reveals your own values and sets the stage for future encounters.
All it takes is a little holy boldness to step through the door when the opportunity seems to present itself. The opportunity is there 24/7 just be aware and ask God to reveal the opportunities and the Words to Bless them!
*Prayer is having such a relationship with Him that we can bring ANYTHING to His attention.
As you enter the world today, ask a co-worker, a waitress, a person in the store, a friend, your kid, your employer, a teacher, your spouse– if you can pray for him/her about something. You may be surprised at what doors will open as a result.
God has something incredible planned for all of us. its the reason why He wakes us up each morning.
We just need to give ourselves to Him and let His will be done through us, His loyal subjects!!!
Pray pray. WHY?????
Phil. 4: 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I believe this peace comes because we have purposely been obedient to what God very specifically asked us to do, even though it wasn’t what we wanted to do in our natural self. God loves obedience.
Pray with me—Lord I desire to sow seed to my spirit that will produce the fruit of the spirit. I want to walk right before you and talk right before you. I want my life to be holy and pure and true in your eyesight. I want you to look at me Lord and be pleased at what you see. I will keep my eyes on you Lord and I will do unto others as I would have them do unto me. I will show forth your love I will strive to keep my body under subjection to your word and to your will. I praise your holy name. Lord I thank you. I thank you Lord for all and everything that you are doing in my life and I thank and praise you for a heart that loves you and seeks to do your will. Thank you Lord for creating in me a clean heart and renewing a right, righteous spirit within me, I bless your holy wonderful name today. In Jesus
name I pray. Amen
Col. 3: 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
