“God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine” —Ephesians 3:20 (NCV)

“Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers.” —Ephesians 6:18 (NLT)

“Why Keep Praying When There Is No Answer?” By Rick Warren:

“Why should you remain persistent in your prayers when you don’t get an answer? Here are four reasons.

1. Persistent prayer focuses your attention. When you pray a prayer request over and over, it’s not to remind God. He doesn’t need to be reminded! It’s to remind yourself that God is the source of your answer and all your needs. If every prayer you ever prayed was instantly answered, two things would happen. First, prayer would actually begin to hurt you because sometimes we pray for things that are not God’s will, or we make mistakes because we see with a limited perspective. Second, you’d never really develop a deep relationship with God, because he would become just a vending machine. If every time you prayed you instantly got results, all you’d think about is the blessing. God wants you to think about the Blesser.

2. Persistent prayer clarifies your request. A delayed answer gives you time to clarify exactly what you want and to refine your prayers. When you pray persistently to your heavenly Father and you say something over and over again, it separates deep longings from mere whims. It says, “God, I really care about this.” It’s not that God doesn’t want to answer your prayers. He does. It’s just that he wants you to be certain what you really want.

3. Persistent prayer tests your faith. James 1:3-4 says, “When your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing” (NLT). The only way you can grow to spiritual maturity is to have your faith tested. One of the ways God tests your faith is by delaying some answers to your prayers.

4. Persistent prayer prepares your heart for the answer. When you make a request of God, God almost always wants to answer in a greater way than you’ve prayed. Sometimes God denies your prayer request because you’re thinking and asking too small. He wants to give you something bigger and better. But first, he has to prepare you for it. So God uses delays in answering prayer to help you grow, to help you get ready, and to help prepare you for a bigger and better answer.

Remember, “God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20 NCV).”

The Gospel Daily - Be Alert!

To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. - Ephesians 6:18

After Paul tells us to put on the full armor of God, he tells us to be alert and persevere. The belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, shoes of readiness, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. I believe Paul wrote these things in this order because we need the individual pieces, creating the full armor before we can be alert and persevere. We cannot be alert and persevere if we aren’t aware there is a war. When we go to war, we put on armor and take up weapons. The enemy is always throwing darts at us, and we are always at war. What do you do to put on the armor? What habits in your life prepare you to be alert and persevere? They are things like walking in the light, quiet time with God, solitude, reading the Bible, praying, and our Christian community will help with this.

PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT (WHAT IT MEANS)

When we come to Jude 1: 20, which reads; But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. My emphasis is on the last part of the verse “praying in the Holy Ghost” according to the King James Version (KJV). While some other versions like ESV English Standard Version and reads as ‘Holy Spirit’. Whether it is ‘in the Holy Ghost’ or the ‘Holy Spirit’ what…

Gaining power over the enemy.

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com “Resisting the enemy doesn’t need to be dramatic to be effective; even a child can resist the powers of darkness through the Name that is above every name. God has given us everything we need to be victorious over all the schemes of the enemy. The enemy may boast of his power, but God’s power is so much greater than any power of darkness.” ErIc & Leslie Ludy

Do You Stay in Contact with God?

“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” —Ephesians 6:18 (NLT)

“Four Reasons to Keep Praying for an Answer” By Rick Warren:

“Why should you be persistent in your prayers, like Ephesians 6:18 says, even when you don’t get an answer? There are four reasons.

1. Persistent prayer focuses your attention. When you pray for something repeatedly, it’s not to remind God. He doesn’t need to be reminded! It’s to remind yourself who the source of your answer and all your needs is. If every prayer you ever prayed were instantly answered, two things would be true. First, prayer would become a weapon of destruction in your life. Second, you’d never think about God because he would become a vending machine. If every time you prayed you instantly got results, all you’d think about is the blessing. God wants you to think about the Blesser.

2. Persistent prayer clarifies your request. A delayed answer gives you time to clarify exactly what you want and to refine your prayers. When you pray persistently to your heavenly Father, it separates deep longings from mere whims. It says, “God, I really care about this.” It’s not that God doesn’t want to answer your prayers. He does. It’s just that he wants you to be certain of what you really want.

3. Persistent prayer tests your faith. James 1:3-4 says, “When your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing” (NLT). The only way you can grow to spiritual maturity is to have your faith tested. One of the ways God’s going to test your faith is by delaying some answers to your prayers.

4. Persistent prayer prepares your heart for the answer. When you make a request of God, God almost always wants to answer in a better way than you’ve prayed. Sometimes God denies your prayer requests because you’re thinking and asking too small. He wants to give you something bigger! But first, he has to prepare you for it. So God uses delays in answering prayer to help you grow, get ready, and prepare for a bigger and better answer.

Remember, “God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20 NCV).”

"YES, GOD CAN STILL USE YOU!"

Ephesians 2:10, “For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above – spiritually transformed, renewed, READY TO BE USED] for good words, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].” (AMP) When David first arrived at…
