Believe

There is a story in the Bible about a man named Lazarus who was dead for four days before his friend Jesus came and raised him from the dead. What a remarkable event. Mary and Martha with the help with others were already mourning Lazarus their brother. He had been dead for 4 days when Jesus arrived on the scene.

Jesus is never late!

It does not matter how drastic or dramatic the situation is. He, Jesus, is never late. “It’s never over until He says it is over” says someone. He is in control of all situations. Nothing passes His eyes. Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without Him knowing. “He is forever making intercessions for us the Bible says.

Remove the stone!

To get the needed deliverance from His negative situation, Lazarus’s loved ones were commanded to remove the stone that blocked the tomb. Let us remove what may be representing a stone in our lives. Is there any fear, doubt, prayerlessness, anger, unforgiveness, these can hinder God’s move in our lives.

Now believe and receive!

In John 11:40 Jesus said to Martha that “if she believed she would see the glory of God.” Simple as stated, we must believe. All things are possible for those who believe. Do you believe that after you have done all you can to see God’s goodness that you will. Yes! The Bible says that “God is a very present help in the time of trouble.”

Yes, Yes I believe!

Teach Me to Number My Days

The psalmist asked God to teach him to number his days so that he can apply his heart to wisdom.  Clearly, he had something of great significance to make such a request.  That is, he had a teachable spirit. He was willing to learn (the way of truth and wisdom) that would enable him to have a better understanding of knowledge to better walk and live a life of truth. What Moses Knew : 1.  He understood that his days are limited. 2.  He knew that he needed God's wisdom to live. 3.  He had a teachable spirit. 4.  He wanted to live in a culture of correction. 5.  He knew that success in life depended on the knowledge he gained that gave him the understanding he needed to apply his heart to wisdom. Our Prayer today should be Lord teach me this day to so that I may apply my heart to wisdom.

From Minimum to Maximum

The secret to a blessed life in Christ is in the power of prayer. Any time we operate from a focus of prayer and the word, God comes through for us. If we are tired and weary he will be there for us. No amount of human effort can replace the ability of Gods Holy Spirit to strengthen, guide and take care of the negative circumstances in our lives. The desire to operate on minimum strength is tempting, but we will soon learn that we can live up to our full potential only in Christ. Any trust in our human wisdom, strength or understanding will leave us falling short. It is the life that lives in total surrender to Christ that sees maximum results. Our focus must be on prayer and knowing God. We must not only be familiar with His works but become familiar with His ways. Christ realized the necessity of knowing God for himself and seeking God for His anointing. At one time he asked God to glorify Him with the glory he had with Him from the beginning. Though He was God, He took on the l...

Prayer Changes Things

Prayer changes things and we are assured that as we pray God will help us and guide us.  In the book of James He said that Elijah was a man like us. That means that Elijah was subjected to all human frailties like us.  One minute he is on the mountain the next minute he was hiding from a woman.  How many times we have allowed fear and circumstances to get us down even to the point of paralyzing us.  Elijah prayed and God responded to his prayer by stopping and sending rain. Even so God will respond to us as we pray. We don't have to be afraid.  Prayer is talking to God with love. It is not how long you pray, how loud you pray but how earnest you pray. It is all a 'heart thing'. God sees our hearts. Jesus said "go into the closet and pray" and He will answer you openly. Pray for and about everything. I know that God loves and cares for all of His children and He is just waiting for us to call on Him. He says that "we should call on Him and  He will answ...
