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!

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

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.

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...
