From my last post you know that I have been on a
journey with God through prayer, and I must say it has been an AMAZING journey.
Even in my learning more about prayer and believe me I haven't even begun
to scratch the surface, I have found myself caving in to old (bad) habits that
had me bound.
I have come to realize that the enemy (Satan)
does not ease up, he does not give you a moment of slack, neither does he take
a few hours of rest. He constantly has
tried to make me falter in my learning about prayer. You see, prayer is so key in our Spiritual
walk with God, we must communicate with Him all the time, about
everything. This may sound like you will
be walking around praying all the time, well that’s not what I’m trying to say
here. Just as I’m talking to you now and
how you talk with family and friends, is the say way you must talk with
God.
There is a learning process that we all come into when we
talk with God. You see the enemy wants
to keep our minds so occupied with worries, frustrations, losses, failures,
short comings, all the negatives that we won’t find the strength to go to God
in prayer. On the contrary, this is the
perfect time to go to HIM, we must fight through the negatives and ask the Holy
Spirit to bring the Word to our minds.
As I have been reading about prayer and reading what the
Bible says, I’m putting the Word in me so when I call upon the Holy Spirit He
brings the Word back to my memory. You will
find that there are levels in which God will take you as you grow in His
Word. Everything that has happen in my
life just from reading, studying His Word and learning about prayer is also
available to each of you. God is no respecter
of persons, what He has done in me He will do in you.
If you are hungry, if you are tired from the battles that you
have been fighting with no ground won, then it’s time to turn your life over to
one who knows all about you. It’s time
to put your trust in one who loves you regardless of the sins you have
committed, and are engaged in now. God
loves you, and He does not want any to perish:
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.” [2Pe 3:9 KJV]
Please, don’t believe the lie that God won’t or can’t forgive
you of sins for He tells us; “I write unto you, little children, because your
sins are forgiven you for his name's sake” [1 Jn. 2:12]. For “All
we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way, and
the Lord hath laid on him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all” [Isa. 53:6]. “For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;” [Rom. 3:23].
All we must do is believe in Jesus and the work of the cross
that He endured for each of us. He took
our sins away from us, His blood has washed us clean, His life He gave, freely
so that we who believe will have eternal life.
Jesus is the door and no man may come to the Father but through Him.
Seek God for your journey, so that His Word will come alive
in your life and change your life. Each and
every journey is not the same, but the results are the same for each of us “In
my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you” [Jhn 14:2 KJV].
Even in heaven He is still working for those who have chosen
and believed on Him.
Be bless
