Finding Our Answers Through Prayer

Since last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday, the importance of prayer in our lives has been continuously on my mind and heart all day.

 Life has a way of turning up something that we do not know how to deal with, inevitably. Its not a coincidence and it is not always about our mistakes, though we make plenty. God wants a relationship with you. One where you actually talk to Him and where you really listen to Him.  We can cry out to Him about anything that hurts us, we can talk to Him about the day to day events in life that puzzle us.  When we choose to come to Him, we show that we trust Him. 

Our praise is our weapon and makes us strong in our faith.  Our prayer time strengthens us and our relationship, because all relationships are successful when time is put into them, and will fail when we do not.  Because God has given us the privilege of choice, what ever we give our time to, is what will grow.  Faith or Fear, strength or weakness, favor or obstacles, all of these things will rely on what we are giving our time to. 

Pentecost Sunday is a great representation that faithfulness in prayer and obedience in His instructions, God will do great things.  He wants us to have great testimonies of His goodness!  He wants to show through you that all things are possible to those who believe.  It is not for a select few, but His favor and provision is for all who pray and believe.  And the only way to know who we are in Christ Jesus, is to spend time with the Father, let Him speak to you in that Secret Place of His presence and by reading and studying His Word.

It's not complicated, its simply about your relationship with your Heavenly Father and your spiritual growth through the truth of God's word. 

Take time to be with Him.  He's waiting on you, and the benefits are to numerous to number!

Psalms 103:1 - Bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

I challenge you to put this to the test.  Spend time with Him, talk to him about your situations, and let Him speak to your spirit in His presence and in His word.  You will be amazed at the results!

Blessings Friend, Have a great day!

I Prayed And He Heard Me

                          

Have you ever walked through a time when it seemed like everything was walling

 up around you?  A job, finances, or relationships.  It could be anything that concerns you. 

Anything at all.  One of the purposes of our prayer life and relationship with the Father is that open line of communication with Him, because He is our source and strength. There are several scriptures that says, "I cried out to God and He heard me."  Let's look at a few. 

Psalm 34:17 NKJV  The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears and delivers them out

from all their troubles.

This is a promise that we can read over and over that says "He WILL". 

This is something that we should stand on.  Let's look at another.

 Psalm 3:4 NKJV  - I cried out to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me out of His

Holy Hill.

In this psalm, David made a statement in his song.  He cried out, and God faithfully heard him.  Past tense. This is a testimony of what God did in this situation, For David.  God provided for David's need, when he ask of the Lord.

Psalm 18:6 is an example of scriptures that are testimonies of what God did when one cried out to Him. Let's take a look. 

Psalm 18:6 NKJV  -  In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried out to my God; 

He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came upon Him, even to His ears. 

Now what is so amazing about this passage is if you continue to read this chapter, you will see God's response to this prayer.  The Earth responded to God's voice once this prayer reached His ears.  God can speak one word into your life and everything can completely change because God Himself Speaks !! 

Now, there is only one element, that separates what has happened in the Bible from where you stand.  The one common denominator that we must have while praying is this...... BELIEVE.

In Matthew 21:22 and Mark 6:22-24 , Jesus Himself teaches us that the condition to answering the prayers of His children is believe. 

So I encourage you today to not only pray and believe that Jesus will answer your prayers, but BELIEVE BIG !! He can change every situation that we have in our lives.  Have Great Faith that the God of Heaven and Earth can answer any prayer you pray when we seek Him and Believe in Him!!!

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank you for Your Presence in the lives of Your children.  I thank you for meeting each person that reads this and is seeking You; that they find You with Great Faith.  I thank you for moving in their situations in such a way that it will be undeniablly shown that they give You only the Glory for their answered prayers.  I thank You for strength, endurance, peace, restoration and salvation that can only come from and be found in You!  Bless Your People Oh Lord, that they might know You in a deeper way.  That their relationship with You will grow from Glory to Glory in Jesus Name, Amen

You now have scriptures that gives you Promises, Statements of facts, and Examples of what God does when we cry out to Him!  All we have to do is believe.

Blessings Everyone.  God's got you !!
