PRAY FOR CHANGE

The world is in a terrible situation.

Wickedness and evil has taken over in all walks of life. The
situation is desperate. Many are dying of fear and desperation. Many
are committing suicide. Corruption is everywhere, even in the holy
place. Christian churches are most of them corrupt to the core. There
is no more integrity in governments and the legal system. Evil is
protected and justified. The family unit is destroyed. People are
treacherous and unfaithful. You cannot trust anybody. Women kill
their own babies in the womb. Children are not brought up with love
and discipline in the fear of the Lord. They have no example of truth
and righteousness, even from their parents.

We have all strayed like sheep and now
we are reaping the fruit of our separation from God, but there is
hope. God has not abandoned us. He will never forsake the work of His
hands. He made us and He cares for us. He wants us to help us, if we
would just return to Him with our whole heart. Our only hope is in
Jesus, to call on Him. The only hope is to become part of His
kingdom, the only kingdom that will last. All others will be
destroyed.

Jesus is MIGHTY to save. Everyone who
calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved. He answers ALL who call
on Him in truth. ”It is in repentance and rest you will be saved.
In quietness and trust, is your strength” Isaiah 30:15.

Return to God. TURN to Jesus. CALL on
Him. Trust Him and He will save you. Keep on praying. He answers the
prayers of those who trust in Him.

It starts with the individual. It
starts with YOU and ME. Do not look to other people. Turn to Jesus.
Go on your knees before Him. Humble yourself before Him. Call on Him.
Repent of your sin. Confess your sin to Him, all of it one by one.
Ask Him to forgive you and to take away the guilt of your sin, so
that you can be healed, soul, spirit and body. The wages of sin is
death. We are reaping the wages of our sin. If we continue along the
stray path our destiny is inevitable, destruction and damnation. If
you call on Jesus from your heart, you will immediately feel
depression and anxiety leaving you, hope and joy will fill your
heart. Jesus will change you of you TURN to Him and CALL on Him. He
will deliver you from your fear, anxiety and all your bondages. He
will CHANGE your life if you STAY with Him and keep PRAYING, keep
TRUSTING.

Stop doing evil. Stop sinning. Forgive
those who have hurt you and sinned against you. Ask forgiveness from
those who you have hurt and forgive those who have hurt you. Stop
going after your own lusts and after the pleasures of sin. Put your
focus on Jesus and remove, avoid, eliminate, turn from those things
that got you in the situation that you are in.

Be baptized in the Name of Jesus for
the washing off of your sin, as Jesus commanded. There is DELIVERANCE
in baptism, not in the water but in the act of obedience to Jesus.
You will be DELIVERED of your bondage and from demons, addictions and
compulsions.

KEEP PRAYING and TRUSTING Jesus. Ask
Him to fill you with His Spirit so that instead of being full of
demons, you will now have the Holy Spirit in you, instead of demons
speaking into your mind, you will have the Spirit of Jesus leading
and guiding you to freedom and victory.

We can do nothing without Jesus, but if
we turn to Him, obey Him, TRUST Him and PRAY, then His Spirit flows
through us to change us and the world around us.

We cannot change ourselves. We cannot
change other people. We cannot change the world , but Jesus can and
He will, if we turn to Him and PRAY.

PRAY for His will to be done because He
knows best. Pray for Him to intervene. Pray for yourself, your
children, your loved ones, your country, your government, your
president, your enemies, the whole world. Always pray. Keep praying
for CHANGE.

You will see the hand of God moving in
a MIGHTY way. Just KEEP PRAYING.

May Jesus bless
you.

PRAY TO JESUS

There is only one person who will

decide whether we will enter heaven or be thrown into hell, and that
is Jesus.  There is only one way to have eternal life, that is
to follow and obey Jesus.  Jesus is the WAY,  the TRUTH and
the LIFE.
If you want to have eternal life,  you have to know
Jesus,  He needs to know you and you need to have His approval.
Jesus warned: 21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My
Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that
day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your
name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART
FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew 7:21-23.
Many
people profess to believe in Jesus but they do not know Him, nor
follow and obey Him. Their faith is in vain.
You need to know
Jesus.  Pray to Jesus.  Repent,  turn from your sins
and from following after your own sinful selfish desires, obey Him,
repent and be baptized. Live in obedience to His gospel,  His
words as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. He will
disclose Himself to you. He will  baptize you in the Holy
Spirit. He will come and dwell in you and He will teach and guide you
and give you eternal life if you stay with Him and obey Him until the
end.
Pray to Jesus,  every day, always. Pray to Jesus and He
will answer you.
Pray  to Jesus.  He is the living God.
Pray to Jesus,  He is the only One who can help you. Pray to
Jesus.
May Jesus bless you.

Pray it right

The only way to be victorious in your

walk with Jesus is to PRAY, not to give in or compromise. We can do
all things through Jesus who strengthens us, but in all things we
must seek His guidance and help.

Those who wish to live godly in
obedience to Jesus will face many trials, tribulations and obstacles
but we have to overcome and endure with Jesus until the end. Jesus
promised that He will never leave, nor forsake us, He is our Helper,
but we have to stay with Him in order to be victorious. Without Jesus
we can do nothing.

It does not matter how impossible the
situation is, pray, ask Jesus, trust Him, and He will make a way for
you.

Jesus will never reject you if you call
on Him. Whatever your situation is, call out to Jesus. He will hear
and answer you, but then you have to honor Him, give Him the glory.
Keep praying. Never give up.

May Jesus bless you

Believe to Receive

Jesus Christ is Lord, He is alive and if we stay in obedience to Him we can pray with confidence and expect to receive what we have asked for. Jesus said: 13“Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14“If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:13,14.

We read in Matthew 21:22 Jesus said:“And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

Many believers pray and they do not receive. Many ask Jesus for guidance and wisdom, but they doubt, whether it is not the devil that gives them an answer. The reason why they do not receive and answer is because they do not believe.

The apostle James wrote:"5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." James 1:5-8.

Do you receive when you pray? Do you really believe, when you pray?



 May Jesus bless you.

Always Pray For God's Will To Be Done

God's way is the best way. We must
always pray for God's will to be done in all circumstances. If we
pray for God's will to be done, we will never be disappointed.

Jesus taught us to pray:"Thy
kingdom come, Thy will be done." if we do not know what to pray
we can ask Jesus for wisdom and He will give us the words to pray. He
will give us words and thoughts according to His wisdom and according
to His plan. We must just tune in to Him and His Spirit and He will
guide us, He will guide us into His will.

If we seek and do His will, and pray
according to His will we will always be pleasing to Him.

May Jesus bless you.

What To Say When You Pray

We often do not know what to say when we pray., but Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to guide us in all things. We must just ask Him to guide us in the words to say, what we need to pray.

Ask Jesus to put in your mind that which is according to the will of God, His will, His purpose, and He will put into your mind the words that are pleasing to Him, that which you require, that which you really need, so that you can pray according to the will of God and that your prayers may be answered.

Without Jesus we can do nothing, but we need to submit ourselves to Him, humble ourselves before Him and ask, and He will help us. He will help us in all things, if we just ask Him.

If we need wisdom, if we need words to pray, if we need direction, all we need to do is ask Jesus and He will freely give it to us.

May Jesus bless you.

Just Pray

There are some problems in life that are too difficult for us to handle. There are circumstances
that we cannot change, but with Jesus nothing is impossible. It is
when we encounter these insurmountable obstacles that we need to
pray, and trust Jesus. Jesus said that we must not be like the
hypocrites who say long prayers in public to be seen by men, but we
must go into our room, close the door and pray in secret, and our
Father who hears in secret will repay us in public.

It is when we pray and
trust Jesus and He answers our prayers that He becomes real to us,
that we get to know Him for real. All we need to do is go on our
knees and pray, speak to Jesus. Speak to Jesus about your problem,
about the family member that does not know Him, about the
circumstance that you cannot change, and Jesus Christ will answer
your prayer.

Trust Him, wait and see
how Jesus Christ rewards you in public. Just pray and trust Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

Pray for each other

The world is a sick, sad, sorry place. Many lives are destroyed. Many families are broken up. Many marriages are broken up. There is only one person who can help us, who can fix us. There is only one person who can fix the world and that is Jesus Christ.
We cannot fix things by arguing each other, by blaming others, but there is one person who can fix all of us and who can fix up this world and that is Jesus Christ. But we need to pray. If we pray, He will answer our prayers, but before we pray we must repent of our sins, of our part in that which went wrong. We must ask Jesus to forgive us and we must turn away from our wicked ways, pray for each other so that we can be healed, that God can heal our marriages, our families, our countries and our world, but we need to pray.
We need to humble ourselves before Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords; He will answer our prayers if we turn away from our wicked ways, our selfishness and we seek Him, submit ourselves to Him and call on Him from a pure heart. Jesus will hear our prayers and He will answer and He will fix our relationships, He will fix up that which is wrong if we just humble ourselves and pray.
Do not fight each other but pray for each other and let the love of Jesus reign in our hearts, and then His peace will also reign in our hearts, in  our families and in our world.
Pray for each other. we have to PRAY for each other.
May Jesus bless you.

Pray with Sincerity

God does not hear all prayers. If we are not sincere when we pray, then our prayer is not acceptable to God. We read the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 6: 5. He said: “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 6“But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
      7“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. 8“So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
      9“Pray, then, in this way:
            ‘Our Father who is in heaven,
            Hallowed be Thy name.
      10‘Thy kingdom come.
            They will be done,
            On earth as it is in heaven.
      11‘Give us this day our daily bread.
      12‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
      13‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
14“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15“But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions."
We must be serious when we pray. Very often people repeat the same prayer, the same words every night. They just say a quick rhyme. Even if we would repeat the Lord's Prayer, that I have just read, and we do not mean it, we are not sincere in our hearts, then that prayer is meaningless. But if we are serious and we pray from our heart, then our prayer will be answered.
We have to come humbly before God and pray to Him from our heart, with sincerity. Pray to Jesus, say to Him what is in your heart, but BE SINCERE because we cannot fool God and we must not try and fool around with God. God is not mocked and we cannot deceive God. We must come in sincerity before Him and He will answer our prayers.
May Jesus bless you.

Why satan does not want you to pray in tongues

Satan wants to stop people
from praying but especially he wants to prevent them from receiving
the baptism in the Holy Spirit and being able to pray in tongues,
because if you pray Satan is powerless against you. He also knows
that if you can pray in tongues, you can now pray all day long, while
you are going about your normal life, because when you pray in the
Spirit then your mind is unfruitful but your spirit prays.

As we read in first
Corinthians chapter 14 verse 14, "for if I pray in a tongue my
spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful." When you pray satan
wants to distract you and he plays on your mind. He puts all kinds of
things, thoughts and distractions, in your mind but when you pray in
tongues then you pray with the spirit and your mind is unfruitful, so
he

cannot distract you.

Further he does not know
what you are praying because you are praying mysteries to God. Paul
wrote in 1st Corinthians chapter 14 verse 24, " the one who
speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one
understands but in his spirit he speaks mysteries." So, what
mysteries are we praying when we do pray in tongues? The Apostle Paul
writes in Romans chapter 8 verse 26, "the Spirit helps us in our
weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray but the Spirit
Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words, and He
who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit because the
Spirit intercedes for the Saints according to the will of God."
When we pray in tongues the Holy Spirit prays through us and

with us according to the
will of God. Although we do not understand what we are praying the
Holy Spirit intercedes through us according to the will of God and we
are edified in our spirit, we are built up in our communion, our
relationship with God. We read in 1st Corinthians chapter 14 verse 4,
"the one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself but the one who
prophesies edifies the church. Now I wish that you all spoke in
tongues but even more that you would prophesy; and greater is the one
who prophesies than the one who speaks in tongues unless he
interprets so that the church may receive edifying." However,
you first have to pray in tongues and be edified, be built up in your
spirit before you can receive revelation from the Holy Spirit to be
able to prophesy. The Apostle Paul further rights in 1st Corinthians
chapter 14:18, "I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you
all; however in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind
so that I might instruct others, rather than 10,000 words in a
tongue." We have to be praying in tongues all day, always, so
that we are edified and built up so that streams of living water will
flow through us and the Holy Spirit will be manifested in and through
us. The Holy Spirit manifests in and through the Spirit filled
believer, through prophecy, through revelation, through a word of
knowledge, through healing, and miraculous working of the Spirit of
God. The power of the Holy Spirit is manifested in and through those
who are filled with the Holy Spirit and who stay filled with the Holy
Spirit. You only stay filled with the Holy Spirit if you pray in the
spirit, so that the Spirit of God flows through you, streams of
living water that bring life to you, edify you and through you
identify the body of Christ. We cannot bear fruit if we are not led
by the Spirit of God; we cannot be led by the Spirit of God if the
Spirit of God does not dwell in us and flow through us.

The only way that the Holy
Spirit will flow through us is if we remain in constant prayer in the
spirit and keep our relationship our contact with Jesus Christ alive;
if we stop praying in the spirit stop communicating with God in the
spirit then we become stagnant and unfruitful spiritually passive and
spiritually dysfunctional. satan knows that when you continuously
praying in tongues he is powerless against you because you are filled
with the Holy Spirit power. That is why he discourages people and
gets others people to discourage them to be baptized in the Holy
Spirit and to pray in the spirit. Those who do not have the Spirit of
Christ flowing through them are powerless against satan and that is
why they cannot overcome, We need to be praying in the spirit to
overcome the wiles of the devil and do the will of God. Are you going
to allow satan to disarm you, to steal from you that which God has
promised to you; the Holy Spirit power from on-high?

Are you going to remain
powerless or will you seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit that
Jesus Christ promised to those who obey Him and who wish to follow
Him? Are you going to allow Satan to stop you from praying in tongues
so that the Spirit of God can flow through you? The choice is yours
because the promise is for all those who believe in Jesus Christ and
who want to be fruitful in His kingdom. Choose today whether you will
be an overcomer or whether you will be defeated by satan.

May Jesus bless you.

Read your Bible pray every day will not save you

Many people believe that reading their Bible and praying every day will save them. Reading your Bible and praying cannot save you. You have to OBEY Jesus Christ and follow Him. You can read your Bible, you can study it every day, you can pray all day but if you do not OBEY the words of Jesus Christ and if you do not follow Him, you will PERISH.

It is our relationship with Jesus Christ through our obedience to Him that will save us. Jesus did not command us to study and memorize the scriptures, He said that if we want eternal life we have to deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him every day, until the very end. If we are not led by the Holy Spirit and we do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit we cannot bear fruit for the kingdom of God. If we have no relationship with Jesus Christ He will say to us:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness."

How is our relationship with Jesus? Do we FOLLOW Him every day? Is Jesus Christ REAL to us?

May Jesus bless you.

Pray More

Our relationship with Jesus Christ is not about Bible reading, church meetings, teachings, videos, fellowship with other Christians. It is about PRAYER, about spending time with Jesus in PRAYER. If we do not spend praying, listening, waiting on Him , then we have no relationship with Him

Go and PRAY. WAIT on Jesus. SEEK HIM with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you.

There is nowhere else that you will find Him but in your prayer closet on your knees.

May Jesus bless you.

Just Ask and you WILL RECEIVE

God is good to all people, especially to His children. He always answers their prayers. But many believers say that God does not answer their prayers and there is a reason for that.

The apostle James wrote (James 4:2) "You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God. Therefor who wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."

Many believers are friends with the world and they are enemies of God because they are conformed to the world and they wonder why their prayers are not answered. It is because they pray with wrong motives. Many of then do not even pray, they just moan and whine and complain.

If we ask we will receive but if we do not receive we must ask the Lord WHY we did not receive what we asked for and He will tell us, He will make us KNOW because He cares for us and He loves us. Ask and you will receive, but pray according to the will of God

If we pray with wrong motives then God will also not answer our prayers. We must purify our heart and seek the kingdom of God and all our prayers will be answered. Jesus Christ guides all His sheep, they follow Him , He goes ahead of them, He opens doors for them. He supplies in all their needs. If our prayers are not answered we must ask the Lord and He will give us wisdom. If we remove the obstacle the thing that hinders then our prayers will be answered because God loves us and He cares for us and He answers all the prayers of those who earnestly seek Him.

May Jesus bless you.

PRAY and BELIEVE to RECEIVE

Whenever we pray about a problem or a situation and we ask Jesus to solve it for us we have to TRUST Him and BELIEVE that He will take care of it or else He WILL NOT. He rewards those who TRUST Him and who BELIEVE that He will help them.

Many people pray about a situation but while they are praying they are already making plans and scheming to solve the problem themselves or they already have a solution and they just ask God to make their plan work out. God does not make our plans work out. We have to TRUST Him when we pray and if we do not know what to do we have to ask Him for WISDOM, ask Him for His plan and He will give us His plan IF He wants us to do anything about the situation. But if we go to Jesus we have to TRUST Him and leave the problem in His hands or else He will not do anything about it.

If we do not truly believe that Jesus will answer our prayer and if we do not trust Him then we PRAY IN VAIN because those who go to God must believe that He IS and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Ask Jesus about EVERYTHING in life, PRAY about everything and TRUST Him and He will guide you. He will take care of you and of your situation. He will guide you into HIS PLAN. His plans ALWAYS work out, but you have to TRUST Him and you have to BELIEVE.

May Jesus bless you.  

PRAY IT RIGHT

Carnal Christians and unbelievers try to fix their problems through worldly means, natural ways. They do like the rest of the world. If they have relationship problems with other people they want to talk it right, preachers want to preach it right. Religious people apply a Bible verse and they want to manipulate people by using scripture, or they attend some magical seminar to sort out their relationships. They might go to the psychologist and talk about it or they go on medication. When the carnal Christian is sick then he goes to the doctor or he swallows a pill.

But the child of God PRAYS, he PRAYS about all his problems and he submits himself and his problem to Jesus Christ who KNOWS all things and who can fix all things. That is the difference between a true child of God and a carnal Christian who is the same as an unbeliever because he does not really believe that God can do anything about his problem. He has either got to get help from outside, from some professional or he will try to fix it himself because he does not KNOW Jesus Christ nor does he TRUST Jesus Christ.

A child of God, a true follower of Jesus Christ firstly submits himself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and asks the Lord to examine HIM, to make sure that HE is in the faith, that HE is in the will of God, say:”Lord examine me, test me and try me, see if there is in ME an evil way. Please lead ME on the right way.” And then I can with confidence take all my problems to Jesus and submit them to HIM, put all my problems under HIS LORDSHIP under HIS GOVERNMENT and TRUST HIM that He will fix it. If I do not trust Him and I try to fix it myself HE WILL NOT FIX IT because He does not share His glory with anybody.

A true child of God submits everything, all His problems, his whole life to Jesus Christ and then he himself stays focused on Jesus and makes sure that he stays in the will of God. Jesus said:”Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.”

Don't try and fix it, pray it right but FIRST submit yourself to Jesus and then he will firstly fix YOU and He will fix your problem.

May Jesus bless you.

Show that you are serious

Many people say that they love Jesus but at the same time they also confess that they cannot stop sinning. It is the same as being married and having many other lovers. The same people also say that Jesus does not talk to them, they don't hear His voice.

If you do not show by your deeds that you are serious about your relationship with Jesus Christ HE WILL NOT ANSWER YOU. Your faith is in vain. If we draw closer to Him, He draws closer to us. Show by your DEEDS that you are serious about following Jesus. REPENT, STOP SINNING, BE HOLY, OBEY JESUS, BE BAPTIZED IN WATER for the washing off of your sin, GO AFTER Jesus, seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you.

May Jesus bless you.

Some will be terribly disappointed

Many believers will be terribly disappointed the day that they die when Jesus says to them:”Go away I never knew you.” These will be people who believed they were saved, some baptized in water, baptized in the Holy Spirit, preachers, faithful church-goers, tithers, ardent Bible students, who knew the Bible well, people who supported missions and built churches, who cast out demons and healed the sick in the name of Jesus, and He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”
It will be because these people never started following Jesus Christ. They never served Him as LORD, they never LISTENED to His voice, they never became His SHEEP who followed Him where He sent them and DID what He told them to do. These people will be terribly disappointed. Will YOU be disappointed the day that you die? You can make sure NOW.
Now is the time to ASK Jesus where you stand with Him. Now is the time to make sure that you are not disappointed the day that you die. Now is the time to PRAY, to CRY OUT to Jesus and to make sure EVERY DAY for the rest of your life that Jesus Christ is pleased with you. Don't wait until it is too late because you might just be terribly disappointed!

May Jesus bless you.

Praying IN THE SPIRIT

Prayer brings us into UNITY with God. It is not sufficient for us just to pray with our mind but we need to pray in the Spirit, WITH the Holy Spirit of God. When we pray we need to TUNE IN to the Holy Spirit and let the Spirit of God FILL our mind with the mind of Christ so that we will know what to rightfully pray.
The apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:26 that we do not know rightfully what to pray but but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. When we come into unison with the Spirit of God then the MIND OF CHRIST is instilled/implanted into us. He puts into our mind those things that are important for the Spirit of God and we can pray ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. We can intercede according to the WILL OF THE SPIRIT and we come into unity with God.
Prayer is not just a matter of reciting your grocery list to God:”Forgive me this and forgive me that, and give me this and give me that.” NO, it is COMING INTO CLOSE RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ through His Spirit. We have to SPEND TIME WITH THE LORD and let His Spirit permeate us and FILL us with the MIND OF CHRIST then we will be able to pray according to the will of God and we will also KNOW the MIND of Christ.

May Jesus bless you.
