4 steps to take back control of your life

(1) Become aware of the words you speak and start speaking the Word of God throughout the day.

[Proverbs 17:20 (AMP)] :"...he who has a willful and contrary tongue will fall into calamity".

A contrary tongue speaks words that disagree with what God says about a matter.
You WILL bring something terrible into your life, if you speak words opposed to the Word of God.


(2) Walk away from anyone who starts to quarrel.
You must not get into strife with anyone because:


[Proverbs 17: 19 (AMP)]:"He who loves strife and is quarrelsome LOVES sin".

A true child of God HATES sin and consequently will seek to avoid quarreling at all costs for as it is written in [Prov 10: 19]:"Where words are many, sin is not absent".


(3) Make it a priority to tell the truth because:"lying lips are extremely disgusting and hateful to the Lord [Prov 12: 22 AMP]".

Also, to be and remain in right relationship with our Heavenly Father, we must train ourselves to "hate lying and deceit" [prov 13:5] like He does.
For "ALL LIARS" will be thrown into the lake of fire at the end of days (Rev 21:8).



(4) Study the Bible, filling yourself with the word of God for at least a few minutes daily.

The Word of God gives life to you.

[2 Timothy 2: 15 (AMP)] tells us to"study (the Bible)...correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth".

We are to "guard & keep [with the greatest care] the precious..Truth."

How to share Jesus Christ effectively


First, pray for yourself the following prayer
from [Colossians 4: 3,4 (AMP):

Heavenly Father, I ask you in the name of Jesus
to open a door to me for the Word ( the Gospel),
to proclaim the mystery concerning Christ...
that I may proclaim it fully and make it clear
[speaking BOLDLY and unfolding the mystery],
as is my duty.

Second, if you believed that you received what you just requested
then according to Mark 11: 24 say the following:

I thank you Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus,
that a door is open to me for the Word (the Gospel),
and that I proclaim the mystery concerning Christ fully
and make it clear and speak it BOLDLY as is my duty.

Third, expect and look for opportunities to SHARE what you believe.
A receptive person will ask questions and listen calmly.

BUT DO NOT get into arguments!

The Word teaches us in [2 Timothy 2: 23],

"REFUSE (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) TRIFLING
(ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) CONTROVERSIES
over ignorant questionings,
for you know that they foster STRIFE"


Fourthly, begin to study the Word in earnest,
meditating (repeatedly speaking softly)
on passages of scripture important to you.



Prayer for Hope, Joy and Peace

One certain way to get blessed is to be a blessing to others
and that is as easy as breathing out the following prayer:

Petition: Heavenly Father, I ask You, the God of Hope, in the name of Jesus Christ, to fill...(NAME)... with all joy and peace as he/she trusts in You, so that...(NAME)...may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Acknowledgement of receipt:Heavenly Father, I believed that I received, in the name of Jesus Christ, what I just prayed for when I prayed for it.

Thanksgiving:I thank you Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ,that...(NAME)... trusts in you and that you are filling him/her with all joy and peace as he/she trusts in you, and that...(NAME)...overflows with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Unanswered Prayer: What causes it?


Why aren't your prayers answered?

Answered PRAYER: Getting what you pray for is completely dependant upon you!

Turn in your Bible to the [ Gospel of Mark chapter 11, verse 24 ] where you will read Jesus saying the following:

"Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."

In that passage Jesus clearly states that we can have whatever we desire if we have the faith in God to believe that we receive from Him what we desire - WHEN - we pray for it.

The sequence:
GET THE FAITH TO BELIEVE GOD'S PROMISES 1st

and then, pray your prayer.

A major reason why people do not receive what they pray for is that
they hold to - the evil MENTAL STRONGHOLD - that says:

--------------- "I'm just leaving it up to God." ------

Whatever the Lord wills for me will come my way".


=*=*=*=*=*=*=* [ WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! ] =*=*=*=*=*=*=*

While it is essential to seek God's will for our lives
and then to desire only what He desires for us,
it is even more essential that
when He clearly tells us what His will is for us,
that we do it!

In [ Mark 11:24 ], God said that He is leaving whether or not our prayers are answered,
completely UP TO US.

The MENTAL STRONGHOLD - contradicts - the word of God
and we know that anything that contradicts the word of God
cannot possibly be right.

God's made our having what we desire completely dependant upon us
and what we are willing to believe Him for.

GOD'S WORD IS HIS WILL.

And since, Jesus spoke while here on earth only what God, His Father told Him to speak,then it was clearly God's will that we have "whatsoever" - WE - desire.

So, to receive answers to our prayers we must FIRST desire something.

Most people succeed at that part.
What do you desire?
Keep that in mind.

Notice, that it is GOD'S WILL that you have WHATSOEVER you desire.

It is His DESIRE that you have whatsoever you desire.

So, why then would you disobey God and leave it up to Him to determine what it is YOU desire, when He has already left it up to you?

God said that you are to have what YOU desire.

Apparently then, He is not worried that you will desire the wrong thing
because He has put no limits on what you can desire.

What God does do, though,
is make your reception of what you desire- CONTINGENT upon - you
believing that you receive whatsoever you desire - WHEN - you pray to Him for it.

Again, remember what it is YOU desire.

Do you believe that you will receive what you desire right now if you were to pray to God and ask Him for it?

If so, do it now!
But if not, WHY NOT?

It is because you choose TO NOT BELIEVE
that God wants you to have "whatsoever you desire",
even though Jesus plainly tells you that.

What must you do to CEASE DOUBTING what the Bible says!

RESOLVE to believe that the Bible is indeed the word and will of God and then read the passage over and over again until the doubting ceases.

IT WILL CEASE WHEN ENOUGH FAITH COMES TO YOUR SPIRIT.

QUESTION from a reader:
what if in our imperfection we desire something that is not good for usand is contrary to his will for us?
ANSWER: God said that His "people perish for lack of knowledge".

God will give to you whatever you desire, so make sure that what you desire from Him is provided for you in His word.

For example, it was not God's will that Israel should ever have a King other than Him!
But Israel demanded a King so God gave them one.

Another example: "It is not God's will that any man should perish"
but that all should repent of their sins and follow God's will for their lives.
That has not happened.

Another example, Jesus told us in the Lord's prayer to pray that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Apparently, God's will is not being done on earth.

Finding God's WILL

A prayer for TRUTH in action

Open my eyes, that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.

Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready my God, Thy will to see,
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit divine!

Open my ears, that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.

Open my mouth, and let me bear,
Gladly the warm truth everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.


Prayer By: Clara H. Scott
