Wait-Watch-Pray

In education the 3 Rs represent reading, "riting", "rithmatic".  In God's pattern of life the 3 Rs become Rain on the garden of the soul Rein in the actions and thoughts that do not reflect the Most High Holy God Reign over the behavior of each individual. Return to God Repent of sin Revive a personal loving relationship with the Holy Father 3Rs so easy to say so hard to apply to the daily life of the believer. Pray to the Lord asking for His guidance, control, mercy in your daily life and learn to apply these qualities to all the people in your life.

DAILY SPEND TIME IN PRAYER - WITH GOD. Keep your focus on God as you talk to Him.

Praise the Lord for His blessings of mercy and grace, for His protection, for His love. Thank the Lord for taking care of us every day of our lives, for guiding our thoughts and actions, for giving us wisdom to make wise choices, for concern for others. Confess your failure to follow His will daily making the effort to please the Heavenly Father by obeying His laws. Intercede for others, for issues with health, employment, family communication, friends, the community, the local and universal church, the pastor, the nation. Pray that God's perfect will be done. Pray for yourself asking for God's blessing on your life and His guidance through times of trouble and of joy. Through all prayers REJOICE IN THE LORD AND PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME.

Mission on El Camino Real in California, USA Rather than whining WHY, ask WHAT now God? What does God have to tell you?  Look for His guidance. What does God want you to do?  Wait for the door/window/curtain to open. What does God show you?  Study all elements of your life and see the painting God has created. What/Who should you pray for? It is my responsibility to pray constantly and to focus on PRAISE, THANKSGIVING, CONFESSION, INTERCESSION, PETITION. (Yes, it is OK to pray for yourself. Be like Jabez in 1Chronicles 4:9-10) INTERCEDE for prayer requests, asking that God's Will be done (the prayer that never fails) the schools - teachers, students, administrators, support staff those who have lost jobs businesses as they reopen other nations as they struggle to return to interactive life ISRAEL the United States - leaders (even those you do not like), the election, the safety of the people the community the local church missionaries (you support,...

Righteousness means to be in RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.  Righteousness is not living a perfect life in human terms, but living to please the Almighty Heavenly Father as a human child strives to please its parents.  The only way to be made right with God is through the acknowledgement of sin and honest repentance of that sinful life by agreeing with God that His perfect sacrifice of His Son Jesus means redemption and cleansing.  In the right relationship with God, the saved/rescued/adopted child of God bears fruit of the spirit.  According to Paul in Romans 5:1-9, the children are made right by the gift of Faith in God's promises which leads to peace, abounding grace, hope, joy during troublesome times and celebrations, and patience.  These fruits produce character that produces hope.  The entire relationship with God is predicated on His perfect gift of merciful grace and love for all sinners.  All that must be done is acknowledge sin and ask God...

Continue to wait PATIENTLY following the direction of God. Jeremiah 25-27

Christians constantly want to know what the will of God is for their lives and usually look for some huge event or hand writing on the wall.  However the will of God is truly simple and easy to know.  All a person has to do is read Romans 12:9-21.  Although God's Will is easy to find, it is difficult to apply to the daily walk with God.  Each day the committed Child of God must ask for help in applying God's word to his life and ask forgiveness for the failure to achieve God's standards; but this does not mean that the person should quit trying to please God, the Father by trying to apply His Will to each day. The Will of God is as follows show real love hate/abhor/avoid evil by doing good work hard at your job to bring praise to God for all things rejoice in the Hope of God be patient pray continually with focus on God's wisdom and will share what you have with those of the Brotherhood pray for good on everyone  empathize with people (in joy or sor...

Talk to the Lord openly and with hope. Talk to the Lord focusing on His Glory and Majesty, giving Him all honor, glory, and praise. Talk to the Lord thanking Him for His loving grace and mercy, remembering "There but for the grace of God go I." Talk to the Lord expressing you faith and love in Him. Talk to the Lord depending on His wisdom and knowledge. Talk to the Lord daily, without ceasing, in the Light of His Glory and Grace. Talk to the Lord.

Now is the time for all good Christians who truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who saves the world from sin and eternal separation from the Most High Holy God to WAIT, WATCH, PRAY!!!!

 Prayer is the daily communication with the Most High God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Prayer is the opportunity for ordinary humans to talk with the Holy Creator of the Universe on a one-to-one basis. Prayer has five basic areas that allow the prayers to focus on specific needs or opportunities. PRAISE - the glorification of God giving an explanation of who God is and giving total honor to Him. THANKSGIVING - the time to give gratitude to God for all of his blessings - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.  From the very air that is breathed to the peace of spirit and joy of the soul. CONFESSION - expressing agreement that my very sinful nature needs His cleansing and that only Jesus provides the pure holy sacrifice for the cleansing. INTERSESSION - requesting support and protection for others.  Asking God to open the hearts and souls of the people near to you to the awesome power and merciful love of Jesus. PETITION - a time of personal request...

The favorite question of mankind - WHY? All too often the answer is BECAUSE. Because I said so Because that is the way it is Because you need a lesson Because you did something stupid Because you are special Because I love you or Just because. At those times turn to God and ask for His guidance and support.  Trust Him to show you the way which may be hard or demanding.  Jesus said, "Narrow is the Gate into the courts of God. Find the narrow path and stay on it.  WHY? Because SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHO EVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.  JESUS DID NOT COME TO CONDEMN THE WORLD BUT TO SAVE IT. Follow Jesus and offer Him your whole self as a living sacrifice of love,hope, peace, and joy.

Wait on the Lord with peace                              with hope                              with joy anticipate and rejoice in the return of Jesus. The Lord said, "Be still and know that I am God." God, the First Light who enlightens our hearts and souls.d Depend on Jesus and seek to do His will. Romans 12:9-21 2 Chronicles 7:13-16 Confess your sin Turn away from evil Return to the ways of God Depend on the Mighty God for all things. Trust in the promises of God Rejoice in His Holy Name.

What does God mean when He demands that I repent of my sins? Repent means to regret, to say sorry, to ask for forgiveness.  God means more. He wants His child to see the reality of the sin nature and to abhore it.  He wants the utter realization of personal sin and that each person CANNOT reach the pure holy God without the blood sacrifice of Jesus, the perfect unblemished sacrifice.  I must not only regret my sin, but I must know that the only path into the holy presence of God is by the narrow gate provided by Jesus, Savior, Master, Beloved. Repent means to turn completely from sin and live a life dedicated to Jesus allowing Him complete control.  Such easy words to type, yet extremely difficult to live.  Each day I must WILLINGLY sacrifice my choices and wants to those of the Father and ask for His direction.  Like the woman at the well, I seek to find the reality of life through the Anointed One, Jesus the Christ, Messiah, Savior. Please Lord ...

   Let your light so shine before men that they may see the Father and turn to Him.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. We wait for the Will of God to be accomplished.  During this time, Christians must seek the face of God and strive to open their hearts to Him.  Healing takes time, and God will move to rescue His children at the perfect time.  So we wait, watch, pray diligently and constantly.  W ander down the paths of the prophets A pproach the throne of God I nto His courts bring praise, worship, honor, and glory T urn around and seek the merciful grace of God who is waiting for you to repent with a whole heart.

Proverbs 3:5-6 TRUST in the Lord with all you heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. Wait quietly for God to show you what you are to do. Watch in anticipation for the return of Jesus. Pray constantly for repentance, return, revival of God's people.

THIS IS MY FATHER'S WORLD written by Maltbie Davenport Babcock and published in 1901.  Franklin Shepherd set it to music.  The song first appeared in Presbyterian Sunday school hymnals in 1915. This is my Father's World, And to my listening ears All nature sings and round me rings The music of the spheres. This is my Father's World: I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas - His hands the wonders wrought. This is my Father's World: The birds their carols raise, The morning light, the lily white, Declare their Maker's praise. This is my Father's World: He shines in all that's fair, In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me every where. This is my Father's World: O let me ne'er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father's World: Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King: let the heavens ring! God reigns: let the Earth be glad. Sing ...
