The great invitation by God to all through the finished work of Jesus is, “Come.” Isaiah 55:1 “Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” Matt. 11:28 “Come to Me, all who are weary…
How can you maintain balance and creativity in your prayers? Maybe the Prayer Hand can help. Remember just as the thumb touches and can be used with all four fingers, so praise should permeate every aspect of your prayer life. God inhabits the praises of His people. Ps. 22:3 Also note that while confession is…
Not long ago I had to begin my prayer time with “Father, I’m anxious and worried about several/many things. HELP. Help me to see You and know that You are with me and You care about these things too.” Then I just happened to be at Luke 8 in my Bible reading plan…. Did you…
Just a reminder as you pray and believe God for answers – as a true believer, Jesus Christ (actually the Triune God) lives in you and Satan has NO power over you. Consider (ponder, muse, chew over, savor, unhurriedly focus on) these verses: I John 4:4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome…
Think about the works of Jesus while He walked this earth. Do you think you could do the same things? Are you? Then what does He mean when He says, John 14:12-14 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works…
Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart. What do you desire in your heart? Paul Trip, in his book Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands, says “You and I are always desiring. Desires precede, determine, and characterize everything you do.” (p.78) “If my heart is ruled…
It is a BIG mistake to think God is not listening or doesn’t care when we pray and don’t ‘see’ results. And yet isn’t that what I’m doing when I get discouraged with the lack of results and lose motivation to pray? I was talking (complaining?) to God about that and then opened up the…
When the going is difficult with no end in sight and we feel all alone, it’s easy to think God either doesn’t understand or doesn’t care. Nothing could be further from the TRUTH. The children of Israel certainly felt this way. Listen to what God said to them. Isaiah 40:27-31 Why do you say, O…
Did you know that God is EAGER to bless you? Meditate (think… unhurried, prolonged, focused and with a will to understand and obey) on Isaiah 30:18. “Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How…
James 5:14-16 Is anyone among you sick? 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 offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he…
