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!

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

THIS IS A SPECIAL POSTING. PLEASE READ!

In addition to my daily message today, this is something very special I believe the Lord wants me to post right now! Help Me Overcome My Unbelief! As a Christian, I believe God loves me and wants the best for me. Certainly, in His Word (Psalm 103:3 NIV) the Psalmist wrote; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your (my) sins and heals all your (my) diseases, who redeems your (my) life from the pit…. I know this, really I do! Still, there are times when I don’t see God actually doing what I expect Him to do; to save me from my trouble; to provide me with what I want; and to provide the healing release I expect. Before I became a Christian I really had a problem with faith, much less be able to cling to any promises God made to me; regardless of whether I was a Christian or not! Therefore, I understand how we can have moments of unbelief, or we can just flat out not trust what God has promised us. This is Satan at work, big time !  “Get...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.
