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!

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!

Put on the armour! The Armour! The Armour! The Armour of God!

' Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! Harness the horses, and mount up you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets , polish the spears, put on the armour!  - Jeremiah 46: 3-4 This verse talk about a battle. Not a battle of the physical (the seen) but a battle of the spiritual (the unseen). We need to stand up in the faith! We must defend ourselves from the enemy! "Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8. What do we need to do to shield us from the enemy? How do we stop "the roaring lion"  from attacking us? Here's the good news! God has given us an armour! The Armour of God (or AOG for short) in Ephesians 6:14-17 talks about this armour what we should wear, do and understand! " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readine...

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...
