JUST PRAY?

If we only knew how much power we have available to us by prayer we'd probably hurt ourselves with it. Maybe that's why very few of us ever learn how to use it. The bible says, "In faith believing...." that means when we pray we must believe that we receive even though what we want God to do for us has not yet manifested its self. This is not that easy. I believe it takes practice and you can't do it all by yourself. When two or more come into agreement on anything they ask for Jesus said God will do it...Matthew 18:19-20  Now the question is, do you really believe that? Again this is a problem with most of us for obvious reasons, the biggest reason is our personal beliefs. If we are believing wrong our faith will be weak or even non-existent. So, what we need to do is adjust how and what we choose to believe. It takes practice and it's not that easy but with the favor of God on our side and accurate information we can change our way of thinking and believing to the point that one day we will wake up in the morning to a whole new life and God will have answered our prayers in every way. We just need to follow His instruction manual, not question it, and watch it work in amazing ways. Expectation, expectation, expectation that cannot be stressed enough. Keen expectation, that takes practice too.
If what we ask God for lines up with the things He promises then we will have it, He will see to it. So, when we pray let's pray for love, joy, peace, freedom, wholeness, abundance, all the blessings of Abraham in the Old Testament. God knows exactly what it will take for us to have these things and He will see that we have it. If we believe these things with our hearts and minds and meditate, concentrate and contemplate, with faith believing then then just be still and know that He is God and He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him then we will see things happen.
 I am living proof of this power because God has blessed me with many answered prayers although I am still a work in progress and I have my own giants yet to slay let me encourage you to learn about this great Creator God and experience the power that can only come from Him and His amazing grace for us. Read the Word of God every day, listen to the Word, watch teachers and preachers who teach the Word, say the Word out loud, think about the Word, in this way we honor God. When we honor Him He will honor and favor us over those who don't and will make good things happen for us with the power of His Holy Spirit, who is awesome by the way..........I'm rambling again.

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For when two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
Matthew 18:19-20

WHAT IS CHRISTMAS, REALLY?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you, he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly hosts appeared with the angel praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."   Luke 2:8-14 (N.I.V.)

It is a well known 'fact' that Shepherd's did not stay out in the fields during the winter months at night and they were not the ones who brought all the gifts. The "Magi" or wise men who traveled from the east were the ones who presented Jesus,Joseph and Mary with the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And these men did not come on the night Jesus was born but months after, not sure how many months but it took them that long to travel on foot to Bethlehem after they saw the star and followed it. And there were probably way more that just three of them, wise men, most likely a large caravan, carrying all the expensive gifts for our Lord.  After that, Mary and Joseph were warned by the angel to leave Bethlehem and travel to Egypt to escape the "slaughter of the innocence" when King Herod had all the baby boys killed that were 2 years old or younger.
It is also interesting to me that even after that there is no mention of a birthday celebration for Jesus or for any Jew according to the bible. However there was mention of birthday celebrations for pagans in the bible. Even in the four Gospel accounts there is no mention of any birthday celebration for Jesus or His disciples. Jews, did not celebrate birthdays.
The birthday celebration we recognize as the birth of our Lord is in fact the pagan celebration of the return of the sun, the winter solstice, when the days start to get longer. When the Roman emperor Constantine declared Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire 350 years after the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus he indoctrinated these customs into Christianity to unite all the people, Believers in Christ and all the non-believers, Pagans. Thus, we have false doctrine infused into Christianity and upheld by the church leaders of that day. Down through the ages, these pagan practices, including Easter and Halloween have been celebrated by the masses up to this very day.
Personally, I believe it's wrong to celebrate things that are not sanctified by God, and clearly Christmas is not a Christian teaching according to Jesus or He would have instructed His  followers to celebrate it... But, I too have compromised my faith to "fit in" so to speak, with the rest of world that do these practices, "commands of men as doctrine."
Not to point fingers at any one in particular but the Catholic religion is chiefly responsible for most of these false teachings we as Christians adhere to in the present time. For more accurate information on this subject Google Michael Rood, a very learned scholar who has a TV program on Christian TV called the "Rood Awakening"  a very good program that explains the Jewish customs and practices of Jesus' day and how Christianity was hijacked by the enemy early on just as Jesus said it would be  in the 24th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew.

Open our eyes to the truth that we may be set free from false doctrine and teachings and wrong beliefs...Thank You for being my God and Savior and for forgiving all my sin.
