Wait-Watch-Pray

Opposition will come because the Evil One hates God and wants to destroy His Children.  God in His infinite wisdom provides a way for His children to achieve success. Read/study the Word and absorb it into your mind and soul.  The Word - a collection of 66 books which tell the story of Tod's relationship with His creation.  66 books by a variety of writers that direct the path and choices of God's children. Pray constantly believing in the power of God who listens for the voices of His children.  Depend on God's leadership and affirm His presence and promises of eternal life with Him.  "Lo, I am with you always." Stand firm in your faith that is built on the Rock of salvation - the Lord Jesus allowing Him to bring His ideas and actions into full bloom.

Prayer allows the opportunity for a child of God to open his heart to the Most High Creator who demonstrates His mighty love for His children in His answers - Yes, No, Wait. The definite YES may be followed by a warning - "You will regret this answer, but I will support you through the time of testing that is to come." Though the definite NO hurts at the time, the reason for the NO soon become apparent and spotlights God's merciful love and unfailing grace. The most difficult answer to endure is WAIT.  Wait while God prepares the answer in his perfect timing. Wait like a flower seed buried under winter ground waiting for spring to become a beautiful plant in God's garden. Wait during drought or flood. Wait in the season of slow growth. No matter the reason for the WAIT, the child of God who truly want to please his Heavenly Father continues to read the Word (God's 66 love letters to His children), to watch (listen) for signs of God's direction, and...

2 Chronicles 7: 13-19 Psalm 139: 23-24 Waiting, an act of Worship grows the relationship with the Mighty Triune God. Psalm 139: 23-24 asks for a clear picture of a person so that the child of God can repent and ask for God's guidance on the road to Him through revival and restoration to God's family. 2 Chronicles 7: 13-19 explains clearly what the children of God must do and why. Verse 13 explains the events in the physical and spiritual world - drought, destruction, disease Verse 14 outlines the four step of the believer in responding to God      a) humble yourself - get rid of false pride      b) pray - read the word,cry out to God earnestly for His reign      c) repent - regret the wrong done      d) turn from sin and wicked behavior Verse 15-16 then God will hear and bless his children Verse 17 - But we must serve God with Gladness, like David Verse 18 - God's promise to all of his Children - Jew/Christ fol...

When prayer becomes difficult focus on the awesomeness of God who created the universe from the smallest atomic particle to the largest galaxy.  Each piece of creation depends on the balance of every other piece no matter how seemingly unimportant.  Each prayer of a child of God lends its power to the next thought, idea, reaction to produce praise, honor, and glory to God  By remembering to give God the glory and thanks for His guidance, focused prayer becomes possible and will produce unexpected surprises, like the first blooms after a dreary winter.  By training the mind to focus on each step, the prayer warrior moves from a fumbling recruit to a well trained soldier.  Then prayers become the anchor of the soul in the middle of trouble.  By allowing the soul time to listen during difficult times, prayer becomes the source of hope and peace. The line "It is well with my soul"  reminds the child of God to listen.  Listening is half of the conv...

Prayer is the life line each person has and can hang onto in times of trouble and joy.  Prayer produces knowledge of how weak humans truly are, but prayer also demonstrates the mighty power of God who is the one true light in a fallen evil world.  Prayer shines light on sin and cauterizes the wounds of fear and doubt.  It also produces a bright illumination which points to the path that God has chosen for a person's life.  When a person prays, the heart becomes soft like plowed ground after warming spring rains allowing the Master Farmer to plant seeds of mercy, grace, and hope.  Continued prayer sprouts the seeds and grows them into strong deep rooted plants which produce abundant crops to be shared with people everywhere. Prayer demonstrates total dependence and trust in the Triune God, but prayer requires time and effort.  As the old song says:        "Take time to be holy.  Speak oft with thy Lord, forgetting in nothing His...

Perfect prayers do not exist! Prayer is the natural extension of living with the Holy Spirit in the body, soul, and mind of each individual.  Therefore the question becomes the WHAT of the request.  Again the simple becomes the best. But, what do I pray for?  I want to help, and my words seems to reach no higher than the top of my head.  God said that the Spirit would help with prayers because the Spirit knows all just like the Holy Father knows all. Sometimes a person knows the specifics of a given situation and knows exactly what to say and how to request the out pouring of God's power.  All too often, however, the needs are hidden,  and the motives of the persons in question blur the desire for the perfect will of God to be fulfilled.  Each petition to the Most High God should include requests for wisdom, knowledge, peace, comfort, and joy.  The best request is, "Thy will be done" because this statement reminds each person that God is in co...

"I was glad when they said unto me, 'Let us go to the House of the Lord.'" Today is the day to worship the Most High God by giving Him WORTH. Sing Praises to His name. Take time to be Holy Speak oft with the Lord. On this day of rest, bring Honor to the Lord by celebrating Him and staying focused on His promises.

Each day pray for the following - 1) Family -parents, children, extended family      asking God to protect them from evil and guide their thoughts and actions 2) Friends - people well know or acquaintances         asking God to surround them with hope and peace 3) Leaders - national, state, local      asking God to fill them with wisdom, knowledge, and integrity 4) Those in poor health - whether a chronic illness, an accident or a sudden problem      asking God to fill them with healing power ad guide the medical staff's thoughts      and actions 5) Personal needs, hopes, dreams, praises Always remember to thank and praise God in all areas of prayer. God, the model Father, wants the best for His children, but He waits to hear from each person.  God never forces Himself upon His creation because He give His children the choice to express their needs. Tell God:  sharing your hop...

By following the guidance of 2 Chronicles 7:14, prayer becomes the foundation for an awesome relationship with the Most High God who loved His creation enough to become totally human.  He became the holy sacrifice for our sins.  Prayer is the way people can talk honestly to the Holy Creator of the Universe.  Prayer patterns abound.  Sometimes the simplest is the best. Prayer praises God and recognizes His mighty power, requests His perfect will be done, begs for support and succor, asks for forgiveness and protection, and raises praise to God for His mercy and grace. More than anything pray constantly keeping the line of communication open.  Be like a teenager using a cellphone to communicate with friends - your Heavenly Father - God is listening and wants to hear from His children. Like the old ATT commercial "Reach out and touch someone"  Let that someone be the Most High Heavenly Father.

Like most people in the United States, you are probably totally disgusted with the political theatrics in Washington DC and the your own state.  Seemingly there is no solution for these angry hate filled words and ideas from the leaders of the United States. The solution lies in the hands of prayer warriors whose voice  can spark a cleansing fire.  Now more than ever people of faith - regardless of culture, creed, color - must raise an out cry for justice and defeat the evil of liars and cheats who want to destroy the relationship people of faith have with the Most High God.  Each person mist pray constantly for a cleansing.  This cleansing comes about in the four steps found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Step 1: REPENT of all sin Step 2: PRAY to the All Powerful Most High God Step 3: OBEY what God says Step 4: STOP following after evil THEN comes the awesome promise: God will hear from heaven, forgive the sinners, and heal the broken wounded land
