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 ARE YOU PRAYING?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
HOW ARE YOU PRAYING?
DID YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE ENJOY ALL THE ATTENTION THEY GET WHEN THEY ARE SICK? THEY MUST BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS TELLING US HOW SICK THEY ARE INSTEAD OF TELLING US THAT THEY ARE HEALED IN THE NAME OF JESUS. SOME PEOPLE THINK IT IS A LIE TO SAY THEY ARE HEALED WHEN THEIR BODIES OR DOCTORS ARE TELLING THEM SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT BY THE STRIPES OF JESUS, WE WERE HEALED, NOT GOING TO BE, BUT WERE HEALED. (1ST PETER 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.) WHO ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE? I KNOW WHO I BELIEVE.
WHEN JESUS WAS TEACHING US HOW TO PRAY BY GIVING US WHAT WE CALL "THE LORD'S PRAYER", HE SAID TO PRAY "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." HE WANTS US TO HAVE HERE ON EARTH WHAT HE HAS IN HEAVEN. DO YOU THINK THERE IS ANY SICKNESS THERE? REVELATION 21:4 GIVES US A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN WHERE IT SAYS "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." THAT IS A PLACE I AM LONGING TO BE.
I BELIEVE I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS ARE IN RECEIVING THEIR HEALING. WE SEE IN MATTHEW 7:7-8 THAT JESUS SAYS TO "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." HOW MANY TIME HAVE YOU ASKED GOD FOR SOMETHING AND DIDN'T GET IT? GOD ANSWERS ALL PRAYERS IF YOU ASK ACCORDING TO HIS WILL. FOR INSTANCE, HE IS NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A NEW WIFE OR HUSBAND IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE. MOST OF THE TIME WE DON'T PRAY ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL. HE IS A SPIRIT AND LIVES IN A SPIRITUAL WORLD AND ANSWERS YOU IN THAT WORLD. ALL THOSE THINGS ARE WAITING FOR YOU THERE BUT WE HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO GET THEM. THAT BRIDGE IS FAITH. IF WE DON'T GET SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY WHEN WE PRAY WE SAY WELL, I GUESS IT IS NOT GOD'S WILL. HE NEVER SAYS NO TO US UNLESS WE ASK WRONG. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR. THOSE ARE THE THINGS YOU HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR. IT ALSO SAYS IT IS THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. IF WE SEE THEM, WHY WOULD BE HOPE FOR THEM?
HAVE YOU BELIEVED YOU HAVE RECEIVED WHATEVER YOU HAVE PRAYED FOR WHEN YOU HAVE PRAYED? EVIDENTLY NOT BECAUSE A LOT OF YOU ARE STILL PRAYING TO RECEIVE IT. LOOK WHAT JESUS TOLD US TO DO IN MARK 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." WE HAVE TO HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN US WHAT WE HAVE ASKED FOR AND WE NEED TO START THANKING HIM WITH PATIENCE. WHEN SOMEONE ASK HOW YOU ARE DOING, TELL THEM YOU ARE HEALED IN THE NAME OF JESUS AND SEE HOW QUICKLY YOU RECEIVE THAT HEALING MANIFESTED IN YOUR BODY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO GET CARRIED AWAY WITH THIS MESSAGE BUT I JUST FELT THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE NEEDED IT. I KNOW I NEED A REMINDER ONCE IN A WHILE. WHOEVER YOU MIGHT BE, JUST THANK GOD THAT YOU ARE HEALED AND LET EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE. WE CAN USE THIS SAME MESSAGE FOR OUR FINANCES. WE WOULD HAVE A FEW CHANGES IN SCRIPTURE BUT THE TRUTH IS THE SAME. HE ALWAYS ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS WHETHER FOR HEALING, PROSPERITY OR WHATEVER. HE DOES NOT BREAK HIS WORD.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
