Prayer and Humility

Philippians 2:3
Proverbs 11:2

Humility is an asset when it comes to prayer.
Humility is a noble and valuable quality of God's kingdom. James 4:10
Humility makes God look in our direction.
It makes God direct and teach us. Psalm 25:8,9

Humility makes God release answers to us.
Humility makes God honor us. Proverbs 15:33
Getting the answers we need from the Lord is part of what our praying is all about, so why not apply some humility when we pray to God? 2 Chronicles 7:14

 We have every reason to be humble before God when we pray because:-

1) We need what humility brings. Mark 9:35
2) It's a virtue sons and daughters of God should have. 1 Peter 3:8
3) God sees us, knows us, knows our flaws, and can forgive us. Hebrews 4:13
4) It is a requirement to receiving from God. Micah 6:8

We cannot afford to be arrogant, impatient , rude or try and force God to do things for us. Humility is what God requires even in the place of prayer.
2 Chronicles 7:14
We just have to be humble and appreciate God as the only source to turn to. 1 Peter 5:6

If we walk into the palace of the royals of this world we won't be arrogant, demanding, forceful, or rude. We would stand before them with some respect and humility.
In humility and respect we will make our plea before them knowing they have some authority, and the influence to help us.
How much more when we are before the creator of heaven and earth?
Humility brings favor before God. Proverbs 22:4

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
