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!

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
