Prayer: the game changer

1 John 5:14

Prayer guarantees that you won't fight life's battles alone, that God helps you in life.
Prayer is a game changer.
In the game of life prayer is essential.
I refer to life as a game in this message because the Apostle Paul refers to life as a race. A race is a game.
One of the best ways you can spend your time is to pray.

Talking to God about everything, and every experience you have can be life changing.
There is nothing to small or to big to talk to God about.
God wants to hear about your health.
God wants to hear about your finances, your emotions,your failures and your successes.
God is interested in your car, He wants to hear about it.
God respects your opinion.
He wants you to tell Him how you feel.
God wants you to discuss with Him about your day.
God wants to hear from you about that boss who mistreated you.
He wants you to tell Him when you feel like a loser or a victor in life.
God wants to rejoice with you when you succeed, when you achieve things, when good things happen in your life. Zephaniah 3:17

God wants a relationship with you.

There is a part of God that is your friend.
He is not only your Father, He is not only your Lord and God but He is also like a friend. John 15:15
Prayer changed the game for Hezekiah, for Hannah, for Elijah, for the Apostles, for Paul and Silas, for Jabeez and it will do the same for you!
As you talk to God about everything in your life regularly, the game of life will change to your advantage.
Romans 8:28

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
