Word of the Day

"Pray without ceasing" (I. Thess. 5: 17).
     
      An important help in the life of prayer is the habit of bringing everything to God, moment by moment, as it comes to us in life. This may be established as a habit on the principle on which all habits are formed, of repeated and constant attention, moment by moment, until that which is at first an act of will, becomes spontaneous and second nature.
     
      If we will watch our lives we shall find that God meets the things that we commit to Him in prayer with special blessing, and often allows the best things that we have not committed to Him to be ineffectual, simply to remind us of our dependence upon Him for everything. It is very gracious and mindful of Him thus gently to compel us to remember Him and to hold us so close to Him that we cannot get away even the length of a single minute from His all-sustaining arm. "In everything ... let our requests be made known unto God."
     
      Let us bring our least petitions,
          Like the incense beaten small,
      All our cares, complaints, conditions
          Jesus loves to bear them all.

Prayer

You know, we really should 'watch' our prayers. Remember, it's God's will, not ours for our lives, and the lives of others. Maybe He has a different plan for us, or the person we're praying about. And, it's not only a better plan, but for a better purpose. Remember, God knows all, He knows what's best for us. You may want something, but God knows that it's not good for you. And, of course we get stubborn, and don't want to 'wait' on the Lord, and so we go out seeking to make ourselves happy, go against God's will, and then wonder how our lives get so messed up. This is one of the reasons. You have to be patient, trust that God loves you and knows what is best for you, and pray for His will, not yours!


"Watch and pray" (Matt. 26: 41).

We need to watch for prayers as well as for the answers to our prayers. It needs as much wisdom to pray rightly as it does faith to receive the answers to our prayers.

We met a friend the other day, who had been in years of darkness because God had failed to answer certain prayers, and the result had been a state bordering on infidelity.

A very few moments were sufficient to convince this friend that these prayers had been entirely unauthorized, and that God had never promised to answer such prayers, and they were for things which this friend should have accomplished himself, in the exercise of ordinary wisdom.

The result was deliverance from a cloud of unbelief which was almost wrecking a Christian life. There are some things about which we do not need to pray, as much as to take the light which God has already given.

Many persons are asking God to give them peculiar signs, tokens and supernatural intimations of His will. Our business is to use the light He has given, and then He will give whatever more we need.

New Online Ministry

As I've posted, we have a new website:
ourlordswill.weebly.com
We are doing an online ministry. We are posting weekly sermons, daily scriptures, prayers, & we're counseling the needy. Counseling for whomever needs it & needs someone to talk with, we're here:
ourlordswill@yahoo.com
This online ministry was something both me & my husband felt led of the Lord to start. It is for anyone, especially the ones who can't or don't go to church for whatever reason. Eventually, we want to be able to reach the community, by helping the poor. That's always been my desire. To help people pay their bills, give food, maybe even lodging, but we wanted to at least start this site first, because we both felt God telling us to. Please share the word, & let everyone know. We are NOT asking for anything from anyone, God will help us help people. But, we know there are alot of people who are on the internet, & they need prayer, or counseling, or just to hear God's word, & we are trying to do that. Pray for us, that this reaches whoever it needs to.

Our new website

We're so excited to have our new website up & running! It's an online ministry designed to share the gospel. We offer weekly sermons, counseling, daily prayer, daily scriptures, etc., etc. Intended for those who don't or can't go to a church, but all are welcome! God Bless!
