To be almost saved is to be totally lost.

And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest (storm) in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them,…

…Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?

Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marveled (astonished), saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him...Matthew 8:23-27!

 

You ever faced drear circumstances…ever been in a life-or-death situation…and be frozen…fearful…like the disciples were…yes or no?

 

These grown men were fearful and two of them were used to sea being fishermen. Can you imagine the waves being taller than the boat…this is what they were facing…Jesus being asleep. They woke Him up thinking they may have to swim or the boat would sink or break…perhaps. Jesus after seeing just tells the storm to behave. Do you have faith like Jesus…I sometimes think I would love to be able to do so…Jesus did so to teach His disciples God will protect you in the storm.

 

Are you in a storm…in a storm you think God has no control over…God can change your circumstances…prayer moves the hand that moves the universe. You are more precious than any other creature because you are one of His sheep. God will make a way for you through the storm or He can calm the sea and the winds of the storm.

 

Are you on sinking sand or is your faith built upon the rock solidness of Jesus Christ? He is the Good Shepherd and if you have been baptized then you are one of His sheep…one of His dear Children. If you have not been baptized but believe Jesus died and rose from the grave…then you are still on the sand of the shore facing a storm. There is another time Jesus upbraided (harsh) the disciples for the lack of faith…After Jesus was risen from the dead…Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned...Mark 16:14-16.

 

Prayer

Father please take control and remove the storms in my life and calm the sea of anguish and turmoil so that I can know the truth and be set free from my past...please be my way of salvation so I can be free to practice the truth in freedom…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Warning…exposure to the Son may prevent burning.


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.
