God will repay each one according to his deeds. To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger.
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek. For God does not show favoritism. Romans 2:6-11.
"For the wages of sin is death."Romans 6:23
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. 8The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."Galatians 6:7,8.
Dear friends, after spending our life on this earth, what wages do we expect when we stand before the judgment throne of Jesus Christ? What did we sow? We will reap what we have sown, either eternal life or eternal torment in damnation.
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?
Most believers do not know
what it means to wait on the Lord for an answer if they have prayed
and asked Him for something. The reason why they do not know how to
wait on the Lord and to expect Him to answer their prayer is because
they do not really believe that He is alive, that He hears their
prayers and that He will answer. They do not really believe.
The apostle James wrote in
James chapter 1 verse 5, "But 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, But we 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. For that man ought not to expect that he will
receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable
in all his ways." If we do not go to Jesus in prayer believing
and expecting that our prayer will be answered, we will receive
nothing. We also read in Hebrews chapter 11:6, "And without
faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must
believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."
Many people say that they have prayed and they asked Jesus for the
Holy Spirit and they have not received it. They ask, how long must
they wait after they have prayed. We read what Jesus said to His
disciples in Acts chapter 1:4 "for He commanded them not to
leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which
," He said "you heard from Me; for John baptized with water
but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from
now." Verse 12 "then they returned to Jerusalem from the
mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey
away. When they had entered the city they went into the upper room
where they were staying; that is Peter and John and James and Andrew,
Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus,
Simon the Zealot, Judas the son of James. These all with one mind
were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the woman,
and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.'
They were continually
devoting themselves to prayer, waiting expectantly praying, they did
not go away. They waited, they waited expectantly and then we read in
acts chapter 22 verse 1, "When the day of Pentecost had come,
they were all together in one place, and suddenly there came from
heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole
house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as
of fire distributing themselves and they rested on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with
other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance." They were
expectantly waiting and praying and then they received the gift that
God had promised the infilling with the Holy Spirit. They were not
just having fellowship, sitting around having coffee, having a good
time like they would have today at church, just being with Christian
friends watching television drinking coffee, eating doughnuts, having
a good time, a good old party. No, they came together you pray to
wait on the Lord and then they received what He promised.
If we go to God we must go
in faith, we must believe that He IS, we must have our focus on Him
and we must pray with a serious heart or else we will receive
nothing. When I first realized that Jesus Christ wants to speak to
us, wants to speak to me, He said:"My sheep listen to My voice
and they follow Me," I said Lord, speak to me, I want to hear
Your voice, and I set my mind on hearing from God. I went alone and I
prayed. I said lord I don't want to eat, I don't want to drink, I
don't want to read the Bible, I don't want to hear from anybody else,
I want to you from You and I waited on Him. I prayed and He answered
me, He spoke to me.
If we want to hear from
Jesus we have to believe that He exists; we have to go to Him in
faith expectantly and wait on Him. If we pray and we ask Him for
something we must not give up, we must go with a mind of receiving,
with a mind of believing and we must stay focused on him expectantly
and not give up, because if we do not believe, if we are not willing
to wait on Him until he gives what we asked, if we are not patiently
waiting on Him expectantly; we will receive nothing!
People ask how long do you
have to pray? How long do you have to wait? You have to wait UNTIL
you receive. You have to expectantly wait until He answers your
prayer, until he gives you what you asked for. But if you give up
then you will receive nothing, if you are not serious you will
receive nothing.
Do you really believe and
are you willing to wait for the answer? If you do, then go to Jesus
and He will answer you. If you want guidance and wisdom, pray and
ask, and wait until He answers. If you want the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, go and pray and wait on Him. Don't give up, He will answer
your prayer and your joy will be full. He rewards those who
diligently seek Him.
Modern Christianity
is powerless. It is a powerless against sin. Christians say they
cannot stop sinning. It is powerless against satan; it is powerless
against temptation, it is conformed to the world. The reason why
Christians believers are powerless is because they do not have the
Holy Spirit.
We need the power of the
Holy Spirit dwelling in us to be effective witnesses for Jesus
Christ. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome. Eternal
life is for those who overcome. Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit
to His disciples and to all those who would seek Him and who would
follow Him. The disciples of Jesus Christ were scattered when He was
taken captive to be crucified by the Romans and the instigation of
the Jews. Even Peter, who swore that he would never deny Jesus,
denied him three times. The disciples did not have the power to be
witnesses. They did not have the power to be faithful to Jesus and we
see that after Jesus was resurrected before He ascended to heaven,He
gathered the 12 and He commanded them to go to Jerusalem and wait for
the Holy Spirit that was promised.
We read in Acts chapter 1
verse 4: Gathering them together He commanded them not to leave
Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father had promised, "which"
He said, "you heard from Me, for John baptized with water, but
you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
We
read in verse 8: "but
you will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you
shall be My witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria
and even to the remotest part of the earth." The Holy Spirit was
poured out on the day of Pentecost.
We read in Acts chapter 2
verse 1:"When the day of Pentecost that come they were all
together in one place and suddenly there came from heaven a noises
like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they
were sitting, and there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
distributing themselves and they rested on each one of them. And they
were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with tongues
as the Spirit was giving them utterance."
We read in verse 5: "Now
there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation
under heaven, And when the sound occurred, the crowd came together
and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak
in his own language. They were amazed and astonished, saying:"Why,
are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we
each here them in our own language, to which we were born? Parthians
and Medes and Elamites and the residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and
Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the
districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome both Jews
and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs - we hear them in our own tongues
speak of the mighty deeds of God.
And they all continued an
amazement and perplexity saying to one another, "What does this
mean." But others were mocking and saying, They are full of
sweet wine."
When the Holy Spirit came
on these disciples,men from Galilee, the Holy Spirit gave them
utterance, they spoke of the great deeds of God in languages that
they had never heard before and therefore the people were amazed. How
is this possible?
And Peter explained to
them. Verse 14: "but Peter taking his stand with the 11, raised
his voice and declared to them: "Men of Judea and all you who
live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my
words. For these men not are drunk as you suppose, for it is only the
third hour of the day; but this is what was spoken of through the
prophet Joel: And it shall be in the last days, God says, that I will
pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and
your old men shall dream dreams; even on My bond slaves both men and
women I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit and they saw
prophesy. And I will grant wonders in the sky above and signs on the
earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. The sun will be
turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and
glorious day of the Lord shall come. And it shall be that everyone
who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved."
Peter spoke some more
words to them and we read in verse 37: "Now when they heard this
they were pierced to the heart and they said to Peter and the rest of
the apostles:"Brethren, what shall we do? Peter said to
them:"Repent, and each of you be baptized in the Name of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children
and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to
Himself. And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on
exhorting them saying: "Be saved from this perverse generation!"
So then those who had received his word were baptized; and that day
there were added about 3,000 souls. They were continually devoting
themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the
breaking of bread and two prayer." These men, these disciples of
Jesus Christ, the ones who ran away who denied Him, who were
scattered like sheep without a shepherd when they lost their Master,
their Shepherd He was taken up into heaven, they were all on there
own, but He had promised them a Comforter to be with them. He
promised them the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit that was that was
given on the day of Pentecost filled them with power and with
boldness. The same Peter who ran away when a little girl asked him
whether he was of Jesus, the same man was full of the power of the
Holy Spirit and with boldness he explained to these people what had
happened, that the Holy Spirit of God had been given that that which
the prophet Joel had prophesied about the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit that that had taken place and that the Holy Spirit would be
poured out on all flesh on all those who call in the name of the
Lord, not just on some. And on that same day those who believed, who
repented and who were baptized in water, received that same Holy
Spirit power, they also spoke in tongues. When we read the rest of
the book of Acts and the New Testament we see that wherever the
gospel of Jesus Christ was preached and people accepted Him,repented
and were baptized, they yearned for, they sought after and they
received this glorious Holy Spirit. They were endowed with power from
above. They were witnesses for Jesus. His apostles went on to die for
Him and many of those who accepted Jesus were persecuted, they were
killed for the name of Jesus but they had the power to continue; they
had the power, even under persecution to witness for Jesus, to stand
for Jesus, they had the power. Why? Because they had the Holy Spirit.
Today we have a lot of
professing Christians with Bible knowledge and wisdom of their own
but they don't have the power of the Holy Spirit; they cannot stop
sinning, they cannot stand against the wiles of the devil. They are
conformed to the world, but they don't have power. It is because they
never received the Holy Spirit; they don't have the power of God in
them. If we do not have the power of the Holy Spirit we cannot be
witnesses for Jesus; we cannot stand for Him. We need that power of
the Holy Spirit in us and we need to be filled with the Spirit; we
need to have His Spirit flowing through us, streams of living water
so that we can bring life to this world, be light in darkness.
Most professing Christians
are darkness; they are just like the world. They go after the things
of the world. They are just deceived and they think they have
salvation, but they're not overcomers. We have to overcome evil, we
have to overcome ourselves, we have to deny our self and go after
Jesus Christ. We need the POWER of the Holy Spirit. It is not an
optional extra; it is a requirement. Without the Holy Spirit we
cannot follow Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all
truth and tell us things to come, the Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus
Christ to us, will reveal His will to us. We cannot bear fruit if we
do not remain in Christ. You cannot be in Christ if the Spirit of
Christ is not in you and if you do not follow the guidance of the
Spirit of Christ. Then you're on your own, you're running after your
mind and you cannot please God. And every branch in Christ that does
not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. You need the power of the
Holy Spirit, you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
All those who receive the
baptism in the Holy Spirit have the ability to speak in tongues; they
speak mysteries to God and the Spirit of God flows through them, the
power of God works through them because they are filled with the
Spirit, the Spirit of the Living God resides in them. If you have
not received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the ability the
supernatural ability to speak in tongues at any time, you have not
received the Holy Spirit.
Dear friend, it was
promised to everybody, to all those who believe. Jesus promised the
Holy Spirit will be poured out on all flesh, all those who believe
and who accept Him, nobody excluded, only those who believe and
accept Him The world cannot receive the Holy Spirit.
Those who do not believe
and obey Jesus Christ cannot receive the Holy Spirit and they do not
belong to Him. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ we do not
belong to Him; we are not His children and we are part of His
kingdom.
Have you received the Holy
Spirit? Is the Spirit of Christ dwelling in you and are you being led
by the Spirit of God. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God,
they are the children of God. Do you have His Spirit? Is He dwelling
in you and are you following Him? Are you truly a child of God? Do
you have the power to overcome, the power to resist the devil, the
power to endure with Jesus until the end and not deny Him? You need
that power or else you will not make it into the kingdom of God? Only
those who endure with Jesus Christ until the very end, only they will
be saved.
Unbelievers cannot receive the Holy Spirit and many believers also do not receive the Holy Spirit. The reason is that they do not really believe. They have not accepted Jesus Christ and they do not OBEY Him. Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit to all those who believe in Him and who OBEY Him.
I read from John 14:12 Jesus said:“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17that is the Spirit of truth, WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you."
Jesus Christ Himself is the SPIRIT and those who have accepted Him and who have received the Holy Spirit have the Spirit of Christ in them. Jesus was speaking to His disciples and He was explaining to them that He was there with them and that He would be IN them once He had departed, ascended to heaven and sent the Holy Spirit to be IN them. That happened on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1,2) when the Holy Spirit was given.
I read further from verse 18“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19“After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. 20“In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you."
Those who have received the Holy Spirit know that Jesus Christ and the Father are ONE. They can SEE Him. They are of the same Spirit because He is also IN them. Those who have not received the Holy Spirit neither hear Him nor do they see Him. They cannot receive Him because they do not believe Him and they do not obey Him, they have not accepted Him.
We read from verse 21:“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”
Those who have accepted Jesus Christ OBEY Him and He gives His Holy Spirit IN them. He reveals Himself IN them and TO them, He DISCLOSES Himself to them and that is why they KNOW Him. That is why the world does not know Him, because they reject Him, they have not accepted Him. They do not OBEY Him. Many believers also do not obey Him and that is why they do not KNOW Him. They do not know His VOICE and they do not follow Him.
22Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24“He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me."
Those who love Jesus Christ OBEY His words, the words that He taught, that He spoke, the gospel of Jesus Christ that which was recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those who truly believe in Him and who have accepted Him live according to those words and Jesus Christ reveals Himself to them. Him and the Father come and abide with them. His Spirit comes and lives IN them, the Holy Spirit. God is with them and God is IN them, His Spirit dwells IN them.
We read from verse 25“These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, AND BRING TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE ALL THAT I SAID TO YOU."
Jesus Christ was physically leaving His disciples. He would be crucified, resurrected and leave their presence when He ascended to heaven but He promised His Holy Spirit to be IN and with them, His very own presence, not only to them but to all those who would believe after hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Those who would accept Him and obey Him, He would give His Spirit IN them . He would reveal Himself to them, disclose Himself to them. The would HEAR Him, they would SEE Him and they would be able to FOLLOW Him, they would be His DISCIPLES, His BODY, the Body of Christ who are ONE with Jesus Christ. They would be lead by the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ IN them.
Those who do not have the Spirit of Christ do not belong to Him, even though they have a Bible, even though they belong to a church, even though they believe that they are saved, even though they believe they have eternal life. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ and if you are not lead by the Spirit of Christ then you are not one of His sheep, you do not belong to Him. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:14 "those who are being lead by the Spirit of God they are the children of God" they are the sons of God. Not just those who believe but those who HAVE the Spirit and who are LEAD by the Spirit, they are the Body of Christ, they are of the kingdom of God. The obey Jesus Christ and they follow Him every day. They are in communion, in relationship with Him.
Do you have the Spirit of Christ? Have you received the Holy Spirit? Do you follow and obey Him? Are you of Him? Are you a child of God?
Most professing Christians do not have the Holy Spirit. They never receive the Holy Spirit baptism. The reason is that they do not realize that in order to follow Jesus Christ and be in relationship with Him, we need the Holy Spirit.
The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:14 "those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God," they are the children of God.
Most professing Christians believe that they only need to believe in Jesus Christ. They believe that if they belong to a church and they confess Jesus Christ and they have a Bible and they quote scriptures, then they will be saved. But they are deceived.
If we do not have the Holy Spirit and we do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit then we have no communion with God and Jesus Christ will say yo us:"Go away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness."
If we have not received the Holy Spirit and we do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit we cannot be IN Christ, we cannot be in His WILL. We cannot do the works that He has prepared for us to do. We cannot be part of His kingdom, we cannot serve Him as Lord and King if we have no communication with Him. We need the Holy Spirit to be children of God. Jesus Christ promised His Holy Spirit to be IN and WITH those who OBEY Him, who SEEK Him.
Most professing Christians are not willing to obey the words of Jesus Christ. You have to REPENT, turn away form sin, submit yourself to Jesus Christ, be baptized in water, be pure and holy and live in obedience to His words and then He promised to baptize you in the Holy Spirit so that the presence of God, of Jesus Christ Himself, the Holy Spirit, will be IN and WITH us to teach and guide us.
Most professing believers do not have the Holy Spirit. they do not want the Holy Spirit because they think they do not need the Holy Spirit. They think they are saved but they are deceived.
Have you received the Holy Spirit? If you do not OBEY Jesus Christ, REPENT and be BAPTIZED in water, you WILL NOT receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit because the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the presence of the Holy Spirit in you, is only for those who truly WANT to follow Him and who OBEY Him. If we do not OBEY Him then we cannot serve Him and we will not receive the Holy Spirit.
Many have received the Holy Spirit but they disobey the Holy Spirit. They grieve the Holy Spirit. they do not bear fruit and they are cut off and they are burned, yet many believe that they are saved because they once had an encounter with Jesus Christ. We need to experience Jesus Christ every day. We need to follow Him every step of the way. We need the presence of the Holy Spirit in and with us every moment and we need to follow Him until the very end, or else we will perish.
Have you received the Holy Spirit and do you follow the guidance of the holy Spirit?
We cannot see, hear, nor perceive Jesus
Christ with our physical senses because God is spirit, but Jesus
Christ sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in those who accept Him and who
obey Him. Those who REPENT of their former lifestyle of sin,
sensuality and going after their own desires and OBEY Jesus, go after
Him, are baptized in water, He promised the Holy Spirit to DWELL IN
THEM, for them to be FILLED with the Holy Spirit, to be BAPTIZSED in
the Holy Spirit so that they can have SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION.
The Holy Spirit will GUIDE them into
all truth, will TEACH them all things and that is why some believers
cannot follow Jesus Christ. The world cannot receive the Holy Spirit.
Unbelievers cannot receive the Holy Spirit. Some believers do not
really believe and that is why they cannot receive the Holy Spirit.
Some believers only believe in the Bible, they are only religious but
they do not obey Jesus Christ, they have not accepted Him and
therefor they cannot receive the Holy Spirit, they are not of Him and
they cannot follow Him.
We need the Holy Spirit to be able to
follow Jesus, to hear His voice, because He does not speak with a
physical voice, He speaks in our spirit, He teaches us in our spirit.
If we have the Holy Spirit we can communicate SPIRITUALLY with Jesus
Christ and He reveals Himself to us IN OUR SPIRIT. Those who are not
born again of the Spirit of God CANNOT PERCEIVE Jesus Christ. But we
can only receive the Holy Spirit if we ACCEPT Jesus with our whole
heart, everything that is in us and if we OBEY Him and we MUST BE
BAPTIZED IN WATER.
The Holy Spirit is promised to those
who OBEY Jesus Christ. They are baptized in the Holy Spirit and they
receive SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION but then they MUST LISTEN and GO AFTER
Jesus. They must LISTEN to Him in their spirit. If we do not have the
Holy Spirit then we cannot KNOW the will of God, we cannot follow
Jesus Christ and we cannot DO the will of God. We NEED the Holy
Spirit to guide us into all truth, to show us all things, to tell us
that which is to come. That is what Jesus promised to those who love
Him and who OBEY Him.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God
they are the sons of God. You cannot follow Jesus Christ by being
religious, by reading your Bible, you have to be led by the Holy
Spirit. You need that SPIRITUAL CONNECTION and that SPIRITUAL
PERCEPTION that you can only get from Jesus Christ. Nobody else can
give it to you. Nobody else can fill you with the Holy Spirit, only
Jesus Christ. Seek Him with all your heart. Ask Him to fill you with
the Holy Spirit and then to guide you by His Spirit. Stay with Jesus,
stay tuned in, LISTEN, OBEY and FOLLOW Him and He will guide you. If
you do not have the Holy Spirit you cannot SEE the kingdom of God and
you cannot serve the King, Jesus Christ, and you are not part of Him
nor of His kingdom.
Seek Jesus and He will give you the
Holy Spirit so that you can become ONE with Him if you obey Him.
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.
People want to become all TECHNICAL
about following Jesus Christ. They want to know HOW to hear His
voice, HOW TO be baptized in the Holy Spirit, HOW TO speak in
tongues. You cannot figure out God. You cannot figure out the works
of God. You only have to ASK Him, BELIEVE and you will RECEIVE.
Be SERIOUS with Jesus, SEEK Him with
all your heart. Go on your knees, HUMBLE yourself before Him, PRAY,
ASK, EXPECT, TRUST Him, BELIEVE and you will RECEIVE. He will speak
to you, He will reveal Himself to you, He will guide you, He will
teach you IF you BELIEVE!
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.
