Pray continually. (1 Thessalonians 5:17). We cannot spend all our time on our knees, but it is possible to have a prayerful attitude at all times. As we draw closer & closer to God; as we obey God & His Word in total; as the fruit of the Spirit, Christlike character, etc, manifests in our lives; as we live a life of holiness, our lives can become a prayer. A prayerful attitude is built upon acknowledging our dependence on God, realizing His presence  within us, & determining to obey Him fully. Then we will find it natural to pray frequent, spontaneous, short prayers, etc. A prayerful attitude is not a substitute for regular times of prayer but should be an outgrowth of those times. What kind of prayers are heard by God? God hears the prayers of the righteous. He takes delight in the prayers of the upright. As for sinners, He hears their cry for mercy. Let us pray in faith. Faith connects us to God & pleases God. What makes our prayers powerful? Righteousness, & holiness. Let us live holy lives & our prayers will be powerful & effective. Our righteous lives will give our words greater impact. How do we pray: We pray according to His will, ie, pray the Word, live the Word & speak the Word at all times. Note that God considers the PERSON who is praying as much as He does of the WORDS being said. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, I pray for all Christians today. Help us to pray powerfully & effectively. Help us to live a life of holiness so that our righteous lives will give our words greater impact.  Help us to have a Bible reading, meditation, & obedience culture. This enables us to know your will & pray according to it. Help us to confess our faith, to speak the Word at all times so that satan will not be able to steal what we have prayed from us. Help us to make the Word of God VIRAL. Thank you Jesus for hearing & answering my prayer. Assign your angels to guard us & to minister to our needs. In Jesus mighty name we pray, believe & give you thanks, Amen. God bless you all.

 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds & write them on their hearts. I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult.  We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...

 The Lord will punish with His sword, His fierce, great & powerful sword. Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent: He will slay the monster of the sea. (Isaiah 27: 1). This chapter is about deliverance of Israel. God has a day in which He is going to judge all of us in regards to sin & righteousness. Some may say: we have been hearing about judgement since we were young, we do not think that this is true. Let me answer you this way: it is written: The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but everyone to come to REPENTANCE. The day of the Lord will come like a thief. I urge you all: Once connected to God through Christ, stay connected, so that you will be ready all the time. How do we prepare on a personal level? Read or study His Word daily, digest it, internalize it, obey its principles & pass it on to others so that they too may be saved & delivered as we are. ...
