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

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
