Whatever You Do, Never Stop Praying!!
Good Morning,
On this day, October 4, this email comes to minister to you. Happy Monday! How are you doing this morning? Its a wonderful day to be a child of God. When was the last time you prostrated yourself in the presence of God? I mean fully stretched out in humble submission and worship. When was the last time you stayed in your secret place until you heard from the Lord? Many times we enter into prayer with one agenda ... dominating the conversation. We vent and release all of our cares, but we usually do not leave with what the Lord intended to give us. We are quick to speak but slow to listen (James 1:19). When was the last time you interceded for someone else's situation? A time when you went before the Lord because your brother or sister was in need of God's intervention. A time when you stood in the gap for the life and soul of your neighbor. How often do you pra! y in a day (1 Thessalonians 5:17)? Are your prayers influenced by tragedy or covenant relationship?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed with life's problems and the assignment on your life. Giving up is easy. Many times you are hanging on by a wing and a prayer. Your spirit is willing but your flesh is weak. Have you been there? Are you there now? My friend, Whatever You Do, Never Stop Praying! Do not allow your current dilemma to force you away from conversation with God. The enemy would love to see that take place. The Bible declares in Matthew 6:6 - But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. You are designed to commune with the Lord. Many of our problems derive out of our lack of prayer. We start out praying often, but! when things are going well we slowly decrease in our prayers. Do you not know God desires to converse with you always, not just when you are in trouble? Whatever You Do, Never Stop Praying!
My brother, my sister, has your prayer life slowly diminished? Have you replaced your prayers to God with telephone calls to friends and family? The Bible declares in Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Beloved, challenges will come. The enemy will try all he can to tempt you and draw you away from the Lord's will. Whatever You Do, Never Stop Praying! Do not cease in seeking after the Lord. There are many traps, which the enemy set against you, that God has exposed because you remained in fellowship with Him. There are many wolves in sheep's clothing God allowed you to discern because you remained in communion with Him. The Bible charges us to always pray. When rising in the morning. While getting dressed. When driving to and from work. When cleaning our homes or paying our bills. Whatever You Do, Never Stop Praying! Prayer for Today: Father, today I uphold my convenant with you. I will remain in constant conversation with you. When I speak you always listen, now it is time for me to listen when you speak, in Jesus' name ... Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: James 5:16
May God Bless you at Your point of need!
To God Be The Glory!!!
