About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

THE POWER OF PRAYER AND A PRAYER PARTNER
THE POWER OF PRAYER AND A PRAYER PARTNER
DON'T EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER. AND, WHEN YOU ASK SOMEONE TO PRAY FOR YOU, BE CAREFUL THAT IT IS NOT SOMEONE THAT IS PRAYING IN UNBELIEF. THAT MIGHT SOUND STRANGE BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY WILL PRAY FOR YOU THAT ARE NOT EVEN BORN AGAIN. THEY THINK IT SOUNDS GOOD, OR LOOKS GOOD ON FACEBOOK, BUT WHICH GOD ARE THEY PRAYING TO. YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. (MATTHEW 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO GET A PRAYER PARTNER. MATTHEW 18:19 TELLS US THAT IF TWO OF US AGREE ON ANYTHING AND ASK GOD FOR IT, IT WILL BE DONE. (Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.) THIS CAN BE A FRIEND ON THE PHONE IF THAT IS WHAT IT TAKES. IT IS GOOD IF THE TWO OF YOU CAN GET TOGETHER IN PERSON BUT I KNOW THAT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. JESUS, IN MATTHEW 18:20, GOES ON TO SAY THAT WHEN YOU TWO ARE GATHERED IN HIS NAME, HE WILL BE IN THE MIDST OF YOU. (For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.) YOU CAN GATHER, ON THE PHONE, IN HIS NAME, AND HE WILL BE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU BOTH.
ANOTHER REASON FOR WATCHING WHO YOU ASK TO PRAY FOR YOU IS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SAY THEY WILL AND NEVER DO. AGAIN, THEY THINK IT SOUND GOOD AND MAKES THEM LOOK GOOD. AND, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PRAY. IF THEY ARE PRAYING FOR HEALING THEY WILL SAY TO GOD "IF IT BE YOUR WILL". IT IS ALWAYS GOD'S WILL TO HEAL. HE HAS GIVEN THAT TO US THROUGH JESUS. IT WOULD BE LIKE ME GIVING YOU MY CAR AND YOU TURN RIGHT AROUND AND ASK ME IF YOU CAN HAVE MY CAR. I'LL BET GOD REALLY SCRATCHES HIS HEAD AT SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO.
JESUS GIVES US SPECIFIC WAYS TO PRAY. IN "THE LORD'S PRAYER", HE GIVES US AN IDEA OF WHAT TO PRAY FOR. MATTHEW 6:7 SHOWS US HOW NOT TO PRAY. ( But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.) MARK 11:24 TEACHES US HOW TO PRAY (Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.) I BELIEVE THIS LAST ONE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU KEEP PRAYING FOR THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, YOU HAVE NOT BELIEVED YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT. IF WE ALL WATCH HOW WE PRAY, OUR PRAYER TIME WILL BE MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
