Prayer song 3 (playlist)

Will we pray again?

I clearly remember the last time America prayed,
or may be it would better stated, I remember the
day the world prayed. Quite a giant step for human
kind. Your bet is good as mind, of the time, 9/ 11.

It was then, now will we pray again? Am I not too
ambiguous, or over zealous in the business of prayer?
Am not sure, but I will quote John Wesley on this one.
" Prayer is where the action is." Action! cut, you heard
those word before, it is sum of Hollywood most telling
words. "Action!" and before you know it, you get " Cut."

We need " Action" E.M.Bounds, " God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil"" What the Church need today is not more
machinery or better, not new organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost   can use-men mighty in prayer" E.M.Bounds.

If we do not pray, we will become a prey. If we do not pray, the heaven will stay its rain. If we do not pray, there is no doors to unlock. If we do not pray, no aid for the fighting, and we will die a victim. If we do not pray, no victory to report and celebrate. If we do not pray, no helper to assisted with bearing the our cross. If we do not pray, God will not hear what is it that we have to say. If we not pray, heavens will not gather to say lets go for the humans are calling. If we do not pray, the fire will not fall. Will we pray again, like yore of your, till reformation fire burns, vanquishing evils tides, and set the world on fire with his holy flames?. Lord hear us we pray.

On that is my take take today, you have yourself a fantastic day now. Do remember our motto is: " Think critically and pray strategically."

A pressing place.

DESTINY--VISION--PURPOSE

Commitment, and submission to the
Sovereign Lordship Of His Father. He does it best   
what a mark of true    excellence. He was able to face his suffering, trials,  ultimately his death.  Because in his pressing place, he seeks heavens aid. In the end, he overcame
 triumphantly. Victory celebrated, so awesome


 May I ask, where exactly are you, at your pressing   place, isn't, been 21 days now, and nothing happen? Micheal the ark-angle have not yet arrived, felicity, fears, the body is thinning out on you. Needless to say, this is most difficult, it is your pressing place. I will assure you, as I often assured myself,am in the place of possibilities and I will not let up. My appetite as no bounds, my destiny, purposes and vision must be fulfill, hence my commitment. The faithfulness of his word I bound myself by at this time in my pressing place. Matthew 7: 7 read as follow, " Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." ( K.J.V.). Frankly put, am hungry, very, very hungry, and in this pressing place, I'll not be dined. Am closing , and for those of you who visit today, I'm in prayer with you right now as you stand in your pressing place, that God will do for you. God bless.


Be reminded that our  motto is " Think critically and pray strategically "     

That is my take for today, and you all have a fantastic day.

The diffcuitly with prayer pt.3

 Closing off pt: 2 was with James 5:16 " The effective fervent prayer of a
righteousness man availeth much " I say that to say this, prayer is a labor of love. It is our pressing place. That pressing place is about our destiny, our vision, our  purposes and commitments, our subject obedience y
 to the authority of Christ in our lives. All of the above
 is within the realm of a covenant dual-ship. We are
 not alone, we are not our own.

Our best example of that is the live of our Savior himself. Bear with me here.. You see from the point where we are coming from, to the point where we are now, and ultimately
where we are going. Remember destiny, vision, purposes,
and commitment? all this give rise to our identity in Christ Jesus as his children in the earth..

Now get you a bible and lets look ( read ), Matthew 26: 36-47. Do not concern yourself with the assumption that O! ya, this is Jesus. The devil will play with this on your mind like Ray Charles on the piano.
.Its like so what are you trying to proved now, just let him know what is to be proven as already proven so go his way. O.K, Matthew here is a vivid pro-trade of Christ at this pressing place. The most agonizing of all his live on earth, and destiny beckon in. He won the fight by his submissiveness, the process by which our victory is attain in Christ Jesus. Shall we say amen to that

Well! I got to go at this point, you I would think, so see next time with some practical goodies on this difficult journey of prayer. Thank for this time sharing together, so long friends. God bless. Our motto is,
" Think critically and pray strategically "

The difficulty with prayer pt.2

Time is of great essence, but you might want to have a look again on our
first episode pt:1 to refresh yourself. will you?. The skeptic is always challenging us about the values and the effectiveness of our prayers. Its been said, Queen Mary  remarked that she" fear the prayers of John Knox, than the whole army of Scotland ", powerful, is it not? On the way we are having great challenges and difficultly as well, both corporately and personal

Now if he is having difficultly believing in God, then prayer might be off the radar .Since the first order of business is faith, which to me takes more faith not to believe than not to. Just as how a person is faithful in the faithfulness of his unbelief which brings nothing relating to God, his whole living
 being is a natural habiatad , which his existence is base  from his perspective.

The natural man understood not the things of the spirit.A spiritual man must understand that his domain is different.God is a Spirit, so his first order of business is to connect by faith in the spirit with spirit. Here is the thing, God make it possible for to come before him in prayer, and all aspect the Holy Spirit will aid us.The scripture sated, " Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." ( Romans 8:26 ).


Great care must be taken to allow the Holy Spirit into our prayer lives. He is the convincing truth of God, the ennoblement in our prayers.He took our cries in whatever state or form in God's presence.. Richard Sibbes remarked is this ' God can pick sense out of our confused prayer" Be reassured that whatsoever the difficultly in our prayer live, we must like the disciples who asked, " Lord teach us to pray."  Luke 11:1.James said " The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous men availeth much" James 5:16.

I will break here for now, stay refresh and focus on the Lord in your prayers even when facing extreme adds. See you in pt: 3, remember our motto: " Think crtically and pray sttategically." I am praying for and with you, God bless.
