Praying Positively


Do you believe God can do wonderful, miraculous things? I do! When we believe He can save us, heal us and prosperous us we open ourselves up to receive all He wants us to have. Jesus stopped healing people in His hometown because of their unbelief (Matthew 13:58). James tells us one of the reasons we fail to receive God’s blessings and miracles is because we don’t ask Him in faith for them (James 4:2).

Too often the church believes God seldom wants to bless us. It may even teach that healing was only done during Jesus’ ministry so He could prove who He was. This is false teaching. Jesus is the same today as He always was, is and ever will be. He continues to heal and to use others to assist Him in His healing ministry. Why would we instead of following His example, as He instructed us to do, counsel people to cope with their diseases and pain? There is a better way, and that way is Jesus Christ who is still healing today.

Positive prayer always includes faith. Faith is; confident trust in God who has proven trustworthy, who can be trusted with all our needs because He is love. Faith is also; Being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we don’t see (Hebrews 11:1). Our prayers must be spoken to God with a positive expectancy framed with all faith believing we have received what we are praying for. Adopt a more positive prayer language and I believe you will see amazing results. God listens!

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
