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.

"HOW PERSONAL ARE YOUR PRAYERS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
HOW PERSONAL ARE YOUR PRAYERS?
DO YOU FIND IT HARD TO PRAY OUT LOUD IN CHURCH OR AT YOUR BIBLE STUDY CLASS? I DO. MANY, MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS GOING TO A SMALL BAPTIST CHURCH IN RURAL TENNESSEE, THE PREACHER WOULD, FROM TIME TO TIME, CALL ON MEN IN THE CONGREGATION TO PRAY. I WOULD MEMORIZE A PRAYER JUST IN CASE HE CALLED ON ME. FINALLY, I JUST ASK THE PREACHER NOT TO CALL ON ME ANYMORE. I AM NOT TOO SURE JUST HOW WRONG THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN BUT I ASK FORGIVENESS FOR IT ANYWAY.
PRAYER, TO ME, IS PERSONAL BETWEEN GOD AND ME. MOST OF THE TIME I JUST TALK TO HIM, NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING, BUT JUST THANKING HIM. THEN THERE ARE TIMES I ASK HIM HIS ADVICE ON THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN MY LIFE. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH HE WILL LET YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE JUST OPEN TO WHAT HE IS SAYING IN YOUR HEART. SOMETIMES A BIBLE VERSE WILL COME TO MIND AND I WILL STUDY IT. HE WANTS THE BEST FOR US AND IF WE WILL JUST HAVE THAT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, OUR LIVES WILL BE SO MUCH BETTER.
I WILL PRAY WITH YOU, OR FOR YOU, FOR YOUR HEALING, PROSPERITY OR ANY OTHER THING YOU NEED PRAYER FOR. I TRY TO MAKE IT PERSONAL WITH THOSE I AM PRAYING WITH BECAUSE IF THEY DO NOT BELIEVE, THE PRAYER WILL NOT WORK. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN WE PRAY WE MUST BELIEVE WE HAVE RECEIVED IT AND THEN WE SHALL HAVE IT. IF THE PERSON IS NOT BELIEVING HE HAS RECEIVED THE ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYER THEN WE ARE WASTING OUR BREATH.
ANOTHER THING IS THAT IF THEY DON'T SEE THE RESULTS WITHIN MINUTES, THEY SAY "WELL, IT DIDN'T WORK". HOWEVER, IF A DOCTOR GIVES THEM A BUNCH OF PILLS AND SAYS TO TAKE THEM FOR TWO WEEKS AND IF THEY ARE NO BETTER THEN COME BACK, THEY WILL DO THAT BUT THEY WON'T GIVE GOD TWO MINUTES. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. TRUST IN GOD THAT HE WILL KEEP HIS PROMISES. IT COMES DOWN TO DO YOU HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE THE BIBLE?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
