What good do we ask in prayer…

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened...Matthew 7:7-8.

 

When you pray for others good by loving your neighbor as yourself you will then have all you need to do so…When we pray are we seeking what God desires or what we think He desires… When you pray do you pray selfishly or for your neighbor as if he was Jesus and in need…?

 

When we seek God and His will, we are supplied with our own needs…

Wherefore, if God so cloths the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more cloth you, O you of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof...Matthew 6:30-34.

 

If you change your now then you change your future. You cannot enter into the Kingdom of God unless you purpose in heart to do so. You must decide to put Jesus as the Top Priority as the Supreme will in your life. Have you read the New Testament to learn of His teachings. He is the Truth you and I need to live our life by and the simplest and popular saying is still true with Jesus…Love your neighbor as yourself and remember love works no ill will towards its neighbor.

 

You cannot do your family’s will and please God, we must put Jesus first and foremost in our decisions…

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple...Luke 14:26-27.

 

You cannot love any soul more than Jesus. If you love your family more than Jesus then you are in the wrong. How do you love Jesus more than your family when all you see on earth physically is your family…? By placing Jesus teaching as your Way of life…as the Truth you practice…so your Life looks like Jesus. Can God say your life looks like a what would Jesus do? Can God say you practice His teachings?

 

Prayer

Father forgive us for being selfish and concerned for our selves and not Your will for us…please help us to reflect on how we can seek first your Kingdom and enter in so our soul will be saved…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

P.U.S.H…Pray…Until…Something…Happens…when praying just report for duty…do not give God instructions.

 

When praying…you don’t need to repeat yourself…God already knows what you need…

It is written…

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions (empty repeating), as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what things ye have need of, before ye ask him...Matthew 6:7-8

 

We do not need to remind God of anything…

And this is the confidence that we have in Him (Jesus), that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him...1 John 5:14-15.

 

We can always approach His throne and are told too…

For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly (with confidence) unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need...Hebrews 4:15-16… Pray without ceasing...1 Thessalonians 5:17. Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus...Philippians 4:6-7.

 

If you pray in the morning when you wake up…at noon…at the evening…then have you stopped praying or have you prayed all day long…? We can be confident God hears our desires and our petitions when we pray. In fact, He is so Great He already knows our needs. His peace is given through prayer.

 

It is written… Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that askes receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him...Matthew 7:7-11?

 

Prayer

Father please meet our needs and thank you for all You have done and are doing…please forgive my sins and any ungratefulness…You are my enough…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

A way to increase our faith…

A way to increase our faith…

 

…And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion (soldier over 100 men), beseeching (entreating) Him, And saying, Lord, my servant lies at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

…And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it. When Jesus heard it, He marveled (was astonished), and said to them that followed, Verily (truly) I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel…

…And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go your way; and as you hast believed, so be it done unto you. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour...Matthew 8:5-13.

 

When we pray like Jesus told us are we not doing the same thing as this Roman Soldier…we are on our knees…showing respect to our Creator (entreating)…approaching in His presence…distance is removed. We are asking for a good thing according to Jesus will…and Jesus can heal from a distance…just as He did for this Roman Soldier. It is just words for Jesus…but it is healing and blessing for us.

 

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace (undeserved favors), that we may obtain mercy (punishment forgiven) and find grace to help in time of need...Hebrews 4:14-16.

 

And this is the confidence that we have in Him (Jesus), that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He hear us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him...1 John 5:14-15.

When you pray do ask what Jesus would do for others…it is answered if it is according to His will.

 

Prayer

Father…please heal us physically, mentally, spiritually…so our soul will be fit for Your Kingdom…that we may be in health and prosper as our soul prospers…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
