Prayer And Understanding

James 4:3

You can't fully please God without fully understanding what He expects from you.
You can't be the best you can be without an understanding of who you are and what God has given you.
You won't pray right without understanding how to pray.
There is a way to pray.
Jesus didn't condemn or rebuke His disciples when they asked Him to teach them to pray. Prayer is taught. There is an understanding of prayer we need to have.
We need to understand the principles that govern prayer. Luke 11:2

Understanding will make a difference in the quality of people's life.
This is something the Apostle Paul understood.
Understanding is a quality the apostle Paul prayed that Ephesians will have Ephesians 1:18
It is a quality we should all ask for. Proverbs 4:7
Understanding is rated closely to wisdom in importance.

Jesus is the giver of good understanding.
God can and is willing to answer our prayer for good understanding. Daniel 9:22
You need an understanding of the enemy so as not to fall for his traps.
2 Corinthians 2:11
You need an understanding of the opposite sex to relate well with them and have happy marriages.
1 Peter 3:7
Understanding is a necessary quality to have for every area of our life.
A lack of good understanding breaks you down, the same way having a good understanding builds you up. Hebrews 5:11-14
You can function in any environment and sector of life if you have the understanding needed to function there.
A good understanding of God's Word builds us up and helps deliver our inheritance to us. Acts 20:32

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
