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...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
