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...

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.

Revelation 3:14-16 We know from the scripture passage above that God frowns at lukewarmness. I pray you will not be lukewarm, and if you are, I pray you will not remain lukewarm. Lukewarmness according to  our text passage is referring to our spiritual temperature. God doesn't want us spiritually warm. It's either you are hot and on fire for God or you are cold spiritually. To be cold spiritually is to be spiritually dead. The dead have no temperature, they are stone cold. Despite this, there is still hope for the dead. God can work with the dead. The scripture is full of examples of the dead being raised to life physically. It also applies spiritually.
