Prayers Heard2

Uniting with someone in agreement with you over the things you are waiting for God to do is essential in prayer business.  We encourage you to consider this principle very seriously today. 

You already notice that this verse in the Bible is of great significance:  Matt 18:19 says again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Will you be willing to unite in prayer with us as we seek the face of God, together?

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength [Isa 40:29]

Each time we hear the word POWER,  our ears prepare to hear what that power does. So we expect to hear ''Power to..."  Power to do this and that.

Have you tried A535?  What about simple Acetaminophen?  [Seriously, this is no prescription exercise!]

The eye is indeed a limited organ.  It is a blessed concept, though.  There is what is referred to as 'visible range'  so there definitely is an ''ínvisible range'.  This is why it is prudent not to depend on what the eye sees or does not see when dealing with spiritual matters.

Let us settle this once and for all;  look, He who knew no sin has died a death designed for sinners- for our sake.  The simple deduction is that there therefore remains nothing that He will not do for you; you are His child.  That is your position; and His word is settled forever in Heaven concerning this. [Psalm 119:89: For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven].
 How about that?

Old fashioned?  Not Really.  That is where the ability to do and to be dwells!

Have these thoughts in your mind as you pray.

2Chron 16: 9

⁹"For ^(H)the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those ^(I)whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this.

Isaiah 49:16
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.

Isaiah 43:4
Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.

Ps 34:6

⁶This poor man cried, and ^(K)the LORD heard him
         And saved him out of all his troubles.

John 3:16

¹⁶"For God so ^(A)loved the world, that He ^(B)gave His ^(C)only begotten Son, that whoever ^(D)believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Bless you

  Bible-schooled people explain to us the meaning of Bethlehem.  "House of bread".

No wonder the Saviour has this as His place de naissance!  What does this food mean to your diet.  I do not have the statistics, but I tend to believe that a good proportion of the Earth's inhabitants do eat or have adapted to eating bread, made of wheat, corn etc.  Well, I want to gather the courage and let you understand, for some of you, you need not be told, because you know more; Jesus is the Bread you will find in Bethlehem.  So when you come to Bethlehem, you can only buy Him and have your dinner of Him.  Sure you heard it being sang in classical: "Panis Angelicus" , Bread of the angels. 

He is the sustainer of the Angels in Heaven and now the Father has given Him to us for our sustenance!! What a profound truth.

Brother, get some of this Bread.  I have got mine here!!

Some Useful Reading for you sister:

John 6:33
For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

John 6:41
At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."

John 6:50
But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.
John 6:51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

Abram and Isaac and parts of Jacob's life interest me a lot.

Abram was too old to be reproductive, his wife was diagnosed unfruitful.  Isaac's wife was unreproductive.  Jacob was a very smart guy; but he loved a lady and worked so hard to pay off the lobola (dowry).  But this lady joined the line of biblical people who were unfruitful.  No doubt she was among the most beautiful of her time.  But beauty does not avert unfruitfulness.

Do you have priestly Privileges?

Numbers 12: 1-5, 9-10 

 ¹Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a ^(A)Cushite woman);

 ^2(B)and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?" And the LORD heard it.

 ³(Now the man Moses was ^(C)very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.)

 ⁴Suddenly the LORD said to Moses and Aaron and to Miriam, "You three come out to the tent of meeting." So the three of them came out.

 ^5(D)Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He called Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward,

⁹So the anger of the LORD burned against them and ^(K)He departed.

 ¹⁰But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the tent, behold, ^(L)Miriam was leprous, as ^(M)white as snow. As Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was leprous.  

In verses 6-8 the Lord spoke angrily to them.  Notice how the Lord went up after speaking!  He left unceremoniusly.  Many questions come to mind.  Two people offend, why is one severely punished and the other untouched? 

Perhaps it is because one was a priest.  Do priests have special "go-arounds", privileges?  I do not know.  Speak to God (pray), who knows, you may have the same exemptions.

1 Peter 2:9
But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

It is not by numbers.  It is by God Himself.  Be careful to remember that our sufficiency is of Him and Him only.  Be careful you do not displease God by thinking that it shall be done because our numbers are now large, because it is not by numbers but by God.

See how David himself displeased God by thinking that with big numbers it shall be made possible.

You have very little?  You have almost next to nothing, LET God be your sufficiency.  Pray the BIG-NESS of God to be seen.

 You may be needing a miracle.  Well, unless the Lord does it, it is not a miracle.  No man does miracles.  His word establishes and safeguards all His miracles.

Do you remember the river of life?  Read Rev 22:1
[ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.]

See the wonderful things that happen concerning this river:

Ezekiel 47:9  :        Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.

Could it be the same river which flows as a consequence of believing faith?  John 7:  38
"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"

You could be a candidate today for a miracle from God, only believe.

 Scriptures and every part of it is recorded to make this Christian life livable  (2 Pet 1:3) and not without coordinates (as in a GPS system) so that as Christians we cannot enter into situations we will refer to as 'uncharted waters'.  Brethren, I am talking with regards to faith, "without which it is impossible to please God" (Heb 11:16).  His instruction and dealing with Abraham is the same as with Isaac - as long as Isaac can refer to Him as "God of my father Abraham" (Gen 26: 18-24).  This is mainly because He is the God who shows no partiality (Deut 10:17), and there is no shadow of turning with Him (Num 23:19). Again scripture says " For I the Lord I do not change ...(Mal 3:6). 

What God has done for Johnny, He will do the same for Betsy! 

2 Tim 3:16 reveals that " All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work".

We are well aware of the scriptures, where there were issues with the payment of taxes, scripture quotes:

Matt 17:27
"Then the sons are exempt," Jesus said to him. "But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours."

I believe that this is not only a lesson about paying taxes, neither is it about being subvervient to the king and his tax collectors and abiding by the statutes of the land.  I will tell you what else there is in the story to note.

This fish was the first hooked out.  The Master knew it had a piece of money in the mouth.  The Master knows where the wealth of this earth is hiding!!  Even when it is found in inconceivable areas such as the sea. 

You do remember the widow whose oil vat could not but just ooze out oil?  She said "Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil."  ( 2 Kings 4:2).  You do remember how by following the instruction of the prophet, she was able to have enough of the same oil for sale to pay off all her debt and she and her sons were able to live on the rest? (2 Kings 4:7).

How would a widow be able to make ends meet except to depend on the word of God spoken through His prophet?  It is He, the Lord, who gives us the ability to produce wealth!

Deut  8:17 -18

When we chat with attested winners, they will freely share with us their inner views about the art of winning. 

It does not always feel like win when you are winning.  This is a physical thing.  It is also true spiritually.  Sometimes, everything just seem so bad - yes even when copious amounts of prayer have gone in.  Again I say, the bible and the characters in the bible all do have something to say to urge us on when we feel like this.  Like what?

When will the enemy ever stop?

He does not seem to relent!  But this word was written in the Bible for just that situation; therefore be ready in prayer for God is Ready.

Isa 59:19 

When the enemy comes in like a flood,
      The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

Full blast!  Emotionally, physically and spiritually you shall be alive.

That brings glory to God.

Ps 118:17-18
 17 I shall not die, but live,
         And declare the works of the LORD.
 18 The LORD has chastened me severely,
         But He has not given me over to death.
