The Power Of Simplicity

Galatians 5:1 - "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."

Entanglements arise due to complexity.
Confusion also comes about due to complexity.

God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
1 Corinthians 14:33
Jesus Christ came to make a relationship with God simple and less complicated.
John 14:23
Beware of a gospel, an individual, or a ministry that presents having a relationship with God as a long and tedious process.
Colossians 2:8

Some ministers of the gospel complicate the message of Christ in an effort to look and sound spiritual.
Revelation 22:18,19
The gospel should be presented simply but it doesn't make us simple minded.
Psalm 19:7
Our prayers, deliverance, getting blessed, and our growing in spiritual things should not be a hard, difficult, and complicated process.
We are simply asked to believe, have faith and love God.

When we study the ministry of Jesus Christ from the scriptures, we see there was a simplicity about Him and how he brought deliverance to the people.
There was nothing tiring about His approach.
There was nothing spooky about His message.
He cast out demons with ease.
Matthew 8:16

Becoming a member of God's family has become very simple!
Accessing God has become very simple and much easier.
Ephesians 2:18
Through Jesus, we can have access into the very presence of the Father.
There is nothing hard, complicated, complex and ritualistic in a spooky or scary way about it.
Ephesians 3:12

Prayer that pleases God is not necessarily hard, long, and difficult prayer.
There is nothing wrong with praying for a long time, or praying from a long list of prayer points but making prayer long and tedious is not a yardstick for God approving it.
Matthew 6:5

Having a good relationship with God is not as hard as some messengers have presented it.
The human mind has a way of appreciating that which is complicated and difficult.
We value complex rituals, thinking that is more potent.
2 Corinthians 11:3

Namaan was disappointed by the simple solution God's prophet (Elisha) gave for the cure of Namaan's leprosy.
The instruction may have been simple, but there's great power in the simplicity.
God's power always follows His instruction.
God's instructions are usually simple.

Jesus may have made it simple for us to access the Father but in the simplicity of prayer in Jesus's name there is power!
Philippians 2:10
In the simplicity of the gospel there is greater power than the previous rituals of the old testament.
We don't need to shed the blood of goats, bulls, and sheep anymore with the long process that comes with that for the forgiving of our sins.

By a word, a touch, a prayer in Jesus name deliverance can take place without the long process and steps many deliverance ministries teach.
Luke 11:20

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...

Healing For Your Soul Wounds!

Malachi 4:2 Your soul is a vital part of your life. Your soul is part of who you are. Your soul needs to function well for things to go well with you. Your prosperity is linked to your soul. 3 John 2 Your soul is the decision making center of your life. God cares about the state of your soul. God created your soul and wants your soul to function well. It is the will of God that your soul is preserved until the coming back of Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Your soul is made up of your will, your mind and your emotions. You need your will, your mind and your emotions to function properly and to be regarded as a well balanced human being. Your soul is valuable and the enemy wants it. Your soul is part of the reason you are saved and a part of God's kingdom. 2 Corinthians 4:3,4 We are spirits who have a soul and live in a body. When your soul is wounded As our natural bodies can be affected, so can our souls. As we can have physical wounds and sores caused b...
