Pray without Ceasing!



"Rejoice always: pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this God Will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

 God's Will for us, to rejoice, pray and obey Him, as Paul describes. This Will needs to be effective in our life and working daily. How do I do it? 
God's Spirit must be in you, first. Then, He will show you what God wants for you and what gift He has given you. 

 "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come." - John 16:13

How do I know that this 'Spirit of truth' is God's? 
"The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
    the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and of might,
    the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—" - Isaiah 11:2 
God's Spirit counsels with truth. So, He is the Spirit of truth. 


How will Jesus come to earth? 
There are many people who claim to be Jesus, or the anti-christ. If you are ever in doubt, take a look in the Bible. Look up Revelations. Revelations 19 talks about the coming of Christ. View here-->>
When we rejoice always, we cannot do that without the Spirit of God. Our human abilities will fail us, no matter how much we understand IN THE HEAD. The Word of God should be kept in our hearts, always, whenever we hear it, so that we can act on it. Our heart is what speaks (Matthew 12:34), for example, someone may see they're a Christian because of the stuff they know in their heads, but inside demons lurk and live in him. Next topic: Prayer 

 Prayer 
God's Spirit tells us what to pray and how to. The Lord's prayer is good, but God's kingdom has already come! This isn't for us as Christians, because Jesus was talking to sinners and hadn't yet redeemed us! Now He has, we must learn to pray. The Bible says: "...people ought always to pray,
and not to cease it;" (Luke 18:1). So when we pray, our prayers should be commanding mostly. We should be casting out demons from their gatherings, and sending them to hell! We should be restoring what was ours that Devil may have stolen, killed or destroyed! We should be commanding spirits of setback or limitation out of our lives, our family's lives, our church members' lives! We should at least be praying once a day, bedtimes especially. What you watch on TV, at the cinema etc. really matters! Watch movies that edify your spirit as a believer! Occasionally, you can go to the movies but don't make it an idol or a habit! Our god should be God! Our prayers we should pray whenever we can! You never know when Satan might want to attack! You should pray: 

  • In the car, when going anywhere 
  • At home, before you got to bed. 
  • For your food, in case something happened to it (poisoning etc.) 
  • For your family, ministry, the world (so that more people become Christians, maybe?)
  • For you to be who God wants you to be in life. 
  • And many more
Pray without ceasing!

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...
