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.

All we leave this life with is the lessons we learned…or spurned until burned.

All we leave this life with is the lessons we learned…or spurned until burned.

 

God will reveal the truth so you can be more like Him…learn your lessons well…The Creator disciplines us…to be more like Him…

Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes; Fear Jehovah, and depart from evil: It will be health to your navel, And marrow to your bones. Honor Jehovah with your substance, And with the first-fruits of all your increase: So shall your barns be filled with plenty, And your vats shall overflow with new wine. My son, despise not the chastening (correction) of Jehovah; Neither be weary of His reproof: For whom Jehovah loves he reproves; Even as a father the son in whom he delights...Proverbs 3:5-12.

 

God disciplines us…and scourges (whips us)…to be more like Him.

and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you art reproved of Him; For whom the Lord loves he chastens (corrects), And scourges (whips) every son whom He receives. It is for chastening that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chastens not? But if you are without chastening (instruction and correction), whereof all have been made partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live...Hebrews 12:5-9?

God is the Great I am of all that Is…He is the I am of all that is. If you are experiencing trouble then you better learn your lesson quickly. Look at everyday as a lesson from God to make or improve you to be more like Him in morals…character…and faith or done it before I have the power (authority) to do it again. He is always the example for us to be like and we will never be able to correct God but instead stand in need of constant instruction and discipline and correction. We need to have a what would Jesus do for all that we do and say…when is the last time you asked the Lord what would you do if you were me?

 

Jesus promises us…

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If you abide in my word, then are you truly my disciples; and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…for the truth's sake which abides in us, and it shall be with us forever...John 8:31-32...2 John 1:2.


Christians are not left ignorant of the truth but many will not practice the truth or want the Lord to do it for them not with them and many do practice the truth revealed. So when things are not going well…trust in the Lord and be better nor bitter. It is easy to complain and murmur but instead trust and ask what would Jesus do?

 

Prayer

Father please help us learn our lessons well so we are fit for Heaven our home…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

I repented and won through Jesus Christ the victory over my sins…

I repented and won through Jesus Christ the victory over this world…

 

Jesus the Advocate…the Lawyer for your soul...

For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith...1 John 5:4.

My little children, these things write I unto you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation (forever atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in Him...1 John 2:1-4.

 

The Judgement

So…picture a court scene…the accuser begins the accusations…satan…He has broken several of the Commandments…to the Judge…our Creator the Father. He begins by stating everything you have done accurately to the court and Judge. He has stolen…He has lied…He has blasphemed Your Honorable name…He has coveted…etc… the longer the accuser talks the more your head hangs down in shame... because you are guilty. When he is done accusing you…you know you deserve just punishment and hell will be your forever home…but then your Advocate…your Lawyer… Jesus Christ stands up to defend His…He speaks up to the court…and the Judge and begins to say…these accusations should not be punished Father because I have already atoned for these crimes against this court…Father please see Ben (or your name) as Me before you make your judgment. We have already made amends and there is no punishment needed…for even I have laid down my life as a just punishment for this man’s sins and therefore there is no punishment deserved…then the Father bangs the gavel and says not guilty of punishment…you are free.

 

Encouragement to make Jesus your advocate…

Have you won the victory? Have you made Jesus the Advocate (lawyer) with our Father…yes or no? I have the day I was baptized and died to myself and was washed and born of God and began living a life for God. Have you been baptized and clothed with Jesus Christ…yes or no?


For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ...Galatians 3:27.


After you are baptized…God sees Jesus’ work on the cross and His Righteousness not you…so that you are seen as Jesus and sinless although we are learning not to sin…and to become Holy like God, yet because we are but children in diapers does God tolerate and hate our sins until we learn or are taught not to do them again until Jesus comes back to judge the world.


Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus...Romans 3:24-26.

 

Prayer

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs and forgive our worst of sins…and strengthen us never to do it again…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
