Prayer And Joy.

Joy is an important aspect of God's kingdom. Romans 14:17
Joy is different from happiness.
Joy is an evidence of our faith.
Joy is the way God wants you to live.
Joy in the midst of resistance, joy despite challenges, joy irrespective of unpleasant situations is evidence of faith. James 1:2,3
And without faith it is impossible to please God.

Let God see your joy. Psalm 47:1
Your joy is a spiritual signal to God that you're still in the battle.
Your joy in the place of prayer and after prayer is a signal to God that you believe He hears you and has answered you. Proverbs 10:28
Being joyful in God's presence is evidence your relationship with God is cordial. Ecclesiastes 9:7

Being joyful has great benefits!
Joyful people are healthier, stronger and go further than those who don't know how to be joyful. Nehemiah 8:10
Joy will help you draw from the Lord, the things Jesus paid the price for you to have. Isaiah 12:3
Your joy shows your faith.
You need faith to receive from the Lord.
You need joy to make your faith effective and you need your faith to make your prayer work.
When you pray, if you believe the Lord has heard you, you should be joyful.

Our heavenly Father is more inclined to bless the individual who is grateful and joyful than the individual who is always moody and complaining. Philippians 2:14
Your joy is a signal to God  that your faith is alive!

The children of Israel lost their joy as they journeyed through the wilderness, this led to complaining, murmuring, and eventually offending God. Exodus 16:3
When we loose our joy, our emotions are affected and we eventually sin.
Joy brings God's favor, complaining brings disfavor.

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

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

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.
