Let's Pray - What The Father Wants Us To

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

1 Timothy 2:1-3 NKJ

(1) “Therefore I exhort first of all that
supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks be made for all men,
(2)  for kings and all who are in authority,
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable
life [promise] in all godliness and reverence.

(3) For this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God our Savior,”

     We are in the latter days, and WE ARE the warriors of God.  I personally believe that this year is very important to pray and uplift our; nations, cities, churches, ministers, families, and the local needs of our brothers and sisters, not to mention the unsaved of the world.

     One of the biggest ways to help someone, is to pray for their needs.  If it’s not known to you, ask God to bless them in whatever their need is or better yet pray in the Spirit for them.

     Certain nations we are asked [told] to pray for, like Israel:

Isaiah 57:18-19 NKJ

(18)  “I have seen his ways, and will heal him;
I will also lead him,
And restore comforts to him
And to his mourners.”

(19) “I create the fruit of the lips:
[SPEAK] Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,”
Says the LORD,
“And I will heal him.”

     We are told by the Lord to speak with the fruit of our lips, that He created in us, Peace, Peace [I speak Shalom, Shalom, no matter how you say it; it’s a double blessing of peace for His chosen.  There is no distance in the Spirit, which allows us to pray for any nation or person who is close to us or far away.

Matthew 5:44 NKJ

““But I say to you, love your enemies,
bless those who curse you,
do good to those who hate you,
and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

Matthew 19:26 NKJ
“But Jesus looked at them and said to them,

“With men this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible.”

     That is not how the world works, just our God.  The Father does not work through cursing your enemy, because as He said above you’ll only change them by blessing them, doing good and loving them.  Keep in mind, NOTHING is impossible with God. 

John 17:20 NKJ

““I do not pray for these alone,
but also for those who will
believe in Me through their word;”

     Here we have Jesus praying for you and the unsaved.  I believe Rapture is still waiting on the prodigals to come home.  And for those who say they are Christians, yet really have no relationship with Him.  I believe the quote is “You’ll know a Christian by their fruit.” (Luke 8:14)  How’s your fruit?  To develop it, you need to walk in Him, which means you must be in His Word for others to see it.

Colossians 1:9 RSV

“And so, from the day we heard of it,
we have not ceased to pray for you,
asking that you may be filled with
the knowledge of his will in
all spiritual wisdom and understanding,”

     Pray for those who need more knowledge, spiritual wisdom and understanding in who’s they are, to complete what God has called them to accomplish in this life.  So they, like you, will hear “well done my good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21, 23)

James 5:14 NASB

“Is anyone among you sick?
Then he must call for the elders of the church
 and they are to pray over him,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

    

     Praying for the sick should be normal for us.  It’s not for you to heal them, but to ask God.  We should be in the habit so whenever anyone says they are sick; we ask to pray for/with them immediately.  If necessary, take them to the elders of your church for anointing and prayers.

     Pray for the unbelievers, and see a changed outcome.  I received healing from 3^rd generation of allergies to yeast.  I did not have any bread for 19 years.  We would take waffles to Burger King you know, “Have it your way”.  [Years  ago, they did not put yeast in them.] Then my 54 year old unsaved mother was healed and asked Christ into her heart.  The same went for my 72 year old unsaved grandmother, with the same results.  God is good and your testimonies go a long way, when you share them, so others can overcome the enemy too.

     Bottom line, no one has to be saved to receive from God - healing.  John 4:48 clearly says; “So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.” The Father knows we’re strengthened when we see what He will do, when the doctors could not.  There’s no doubt after you see the signs or wonders, that what was impossible in the World, is not impossible for our Daddy in Heaven.  They will believe and accept Jesus.

     OK, I’ve only covered some of the scriptures in the New Testament.  The first church did a lot of praying and Jesus gave many, the authority in His Name to do the signs and wonders, that is available to us also.  They’ll be astonished, and you will be too, when you start praying and doing what we’re suppose to.  Watch the outcome of blessing instead of cursing, praying for someone’s need.  See the change in them and you, when the manifestation of your answered prayer is seen.  

     It’s not our job to change someone, just turn them over to the Holy Spirit.  Our job is to lead them to the water – It’s up to them to drink or not.  Who knows, you may just have given them a seed – and someone else will water it for growth.  Still, God gets ALL the Glory – AMEN.

Blessings to all of you, His Holy Spirit IS OUR GUIDE!

In Time Of Trouble, HE Will…

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Our Father God has promised His Children that He will send deliverers to us in times of trouble, and that He will protect them from the hand of His enemy.

     Have trust in the Mercy of God for you and recognize that you are secure in Christ.  Yes this is the Old Testament, but not a law, just God’s promises that are the same yesterday, today and forever [Hebrews 13:8]. 

Nehemiah 9:26-27; Psalms 9:9 NASB

(26) “But they became disobedient and
rebelled against You,
And cast Your law behind their backs
And killed Your prophets
who had admonished them
So that they might return to You,
And they committed great blasphemies.”

(27) “Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their oppressors who oppressed them,
But when they cried to You
in the time of their distress,
You heard from heaven, and
according to Your great compassion
You gave them deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors.”

 Psalms 32:7; 37:39; 91:15 NASB

(32:7) “You are my hiding place;
You preserve me from trouble;
You surround me with songs
of deliverance. Selah.”

(37:39) “But the salvation of the
righteous is from the LORD;
He is their strength in time of trouble.”

(91:15)  ““He will call upon Me,
and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.”

Hebrews 1:14 NASB

“Are they not all ministering spirits,
sent out to render service
 for the sake of those
who will inherit salvation?

     No matter the trouble, call on Him, Trust Him, Believe He hears you.  Repent if necessary, like any Father He likes it when His kids admit their wrongs and change them.  Then know you ARE forgiven by the Blood of the Lamb.

Psalms 115:9-11 NASB

(9) “You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.”

(10)  “The LORD has been mindful of us;
He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.”

(11)  “He will bless those who fear the LORD,
The small together with the great.”

Blessings to all of you, His Word of truth – you can take that to any bank.
