PUSH pray until something happens…

PUSH pray until something happens…

And he spoke a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and regarded not man: and there was a widow in that city; and she came oft unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; yet because this widow troubles me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual coming.


And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith. And shall not God avenge His elect, that cry to Him day and night, and yet He is longsuffering over them? I say unto you, that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?...Luke 18:1-8.



How many times do you pray about a personal concern…ever heard the phrase PUSH pray until something happens? Our Lord Jesus Christ only prayed three times for another way for all sinners to have a way of salvation. Paul when being buffeted by satan prayed three times till and answer came from Jesus. We are told to pray without ceasing and to give thanks for everything we go through. Do we pester God by praying the same thing when we could be praying for others or do we pray until we get an answer? Jesus told this parable so we would pray and not faint when we have a need. In the widow’s case it was injustice. What is your soul’s deepest needs…more important where does God need to grant us repentance so we can be free from evil and live in the truth without temptation or hardship?


Prayer

Father please meet our soul, spirit, and body’s deepest needs and heal us from our sin granting us repentance to overcome…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Make your promises few but keep them faithfully…

Make your promises few but keep them faithfully…

Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, You shalt not forswear yourself, but shalt perform unto the Lord your oaths: but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt you swear by your head, for you canst not make one hair white or black. But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one...Matthew 5:33-37.


Ever made a promise you could not keep? I have. I try to keep all my promises without fail…but sometimes circumstances out do you and you become a liar. May God forgive me and you for any promises we have made that we cannot keep or which cannot be kept. Jesus said do not swear at all…that is a promise he is talking about or if God is involved then it is a vow. If You swear by God then you just have made a vow. Vows must be kept. Promises are between man and man. Vows are between God and man. For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbles not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also...James 3:2.


Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear...Ephesians 4:29. in all things showing yourself an ensample of good works; in your doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us...Titus 2:7-8. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one...Colossians 4:6.


Prayer

Father forgive us for our broken promises to You and to others and meet our soul’s deepest needs…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

I am the chief of sinners…God save me!

I am the chief of sinners…God save me!

Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief...1 Timothy 1:15. We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin...Romans 6:4-6. And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also foreordained to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren: and whom He foreordained, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us...Romans 8:28-31?


We are sinners who deserve punishment but thank God we have been washed in the blood and cleansed from every stain! I have been baptized and remaining faithful, are you? We are all the biggest sinners in our own eyes. We should be grateful for the favors that bless our lives and continually cleanse us from our sinful desires. I believe gratitude is something everyone needs being grateful for the life willingly sacrificed for us. For Jesus dying and being raised from the dead. For hearing the message and believing unto salvation by being baptized for the forgiveness of sin. Grateful for the message Jesus has died and was raised so we could always choose the right thing to do. Is that not the greatest news ever…Jesus died so we could always know the truth and choose the righteousness? That as long as we remain faithful, we will be resurrected into eternal life and not eternal punishment or death?


Prayer

Father please grant us a grateful heart and mind and meet our soul’s deepest needs and give us the remedy for our sin and thank you for the grace to be forgiven…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
