*1.* “You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.” *2* “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” *3* “And without faith it is impossible…
The first approach to winning with prayers is for you to thank God even before you ask; the answer is there! Tap into this pattern of prayers: “Father, thank You that before I even ask You for my needs and desires, You’ve already lined them up and have them headed my way. Thank You for the people, the favour, and the promotion You’ve ordained to come across my path. I believe that even now, answers to my prayers are on…
Faith says we have it even before we ask! Yes, even before we pray, we know that God answers. With this in mind, you know you can always communicate with God with a great sense of receiving. Here it is: “I will answer them before they even call to me.” (Isaiah 65:24, NLT). In Genesis 37, the brothers of Joseph hated him so much that they threw him into a bottomless pit and were going to leave him there to…
*1.* “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” *2* “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” *3* “Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.” *4* “And your ears shall hear a…
A believer who walks wholeheartedly with God enjoys the all-day working of influential spiritual ears. I like to start the day by saying, “God, help my spiritual ears to be sensitive to Your voice today. Help me to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to me.” The more sensitive we are to the Spirit’s whispers–what we’re feeling, the promptings–the further we go. You are one story away from stepping into more excellent favour, more significant influence, greater resources, and…
How many times have you experienced the waking of unrest and uneasiness? Indeed, sometimes you feel restlessness and nervousness, like an inner alarm telling you not to do something, to stay away from a person, a situation, or a business deal. Everything may seem okay, but don’t go against the whisper. God sees things that we can’t see. He knows where the dead ends are. He knows the people who will pull us down and waste our time. If that…
*1.* “…you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you.” *2* “The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” *3* “Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.” *4* “For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.”
Always run to God! When trials and temptations become your experience daily, when battles and wars fill your way, run to God. Whatever may fill your form, as inevitably they will – do not run away. Run to your God and Father. Here it is: “Then I would still have comfort; Though in anguish I would exult, He will not spare; For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.” (Job 6:10, NKJV). That’s it!!!
Our God is merciful. Here it is: “The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.”(Exodus 34:6 NLT). Our God is not an implacable, rigid, judgmental Father who can never be pleased and delights to catch us in a fault. How grossly wrong this thinking is! He is merciful, loving, and gracious toward His children. That’s it!!!
*1.* “And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.” *2* “And whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.” *3* “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives…
