How to pray the Word?

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. ( Matthew 24:35 NKJV) Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. ( Mark 13:31 NKJV) Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. ( Luke 21:33 NKJV) Out of the 4 gospels, 3 of them stated the same verse. It must have been something so impressionable and significant that Jesus said during His ministry that it imprinted into the disciples' hearts in a deep way. The Word of God is true. It never fails. That's why we take verses and hold it in our hearts, so that we can be reminded of His promises. Today, let's try something different. Instead of just holding on to the word/verse, let's declare them over our lives. I was having some problems with my daughter of 10 years old. And I was just praying to God, asking Him to come and intervene. And Holy Spirit led me to Proverbs 31, The Passion Translation.  As I read the verses about "The Radi...

What if God calls you at age 75?

GENESIS 12:4 AMP So Abram departed [in faithful obedience] as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his nephew] left with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. Abraham was already seventy-five years old when the Lord called him to leave his father's house, away from his relatives and out of his own country into the land of Canaan. At the age of 75, will you be willing to leave your country to a new land and start all over again? It is the age of rest and retirement and you just want to have a stable life to relax and enjoy. Even if God calls you to do so and gave you such a wonderful promise of great blessings, you will either doubt if you hear correctly from God and then reject it or you will still reject and tell Him that you wouldn't wish to go. But this is not so for Abraham. He had a whole clan of people he needed to bring along with him - his wife, his nephew, their possessions and all their servants. Yet, he immediately departed in faithful obedien...

Why Forgiveness is So Important?

Matthew 6:12 TPT Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us. MATTHEW 6:14‭-‬15 AMP 14 For if you forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  15 But if you do not forgive others [nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God], then your Father will not forgive your trespasses. There is a very important part in the Lord's prayers Jesus has taught us that he reiterated after he finished saying it. It is regarding his call to us to release forgiveness to others. The amplified Bible explains clearly in Matt 6:15 on why it is important to forgive others. It says that when you do not forgive others, you are nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God. How very true this is! When we hold on to unforgiveness, it is because we ar...

Our God of Hope

Romans 15:13 NKJV Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 TPT Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope! To be heading somewhere in our life, we need to hope in something. If we have no hope in anything, we will lose even the will to live. It is good to have hope in life. But in order to have a hope that will give us certainty and assurance we have to go back to the source of all hope, which is God Himself. Our God is also called the God of hope. When we hope in God and trust in Him, He will fill us with joy and perfect peace. Men may disappoint us and situations may fail us. But when you hope in God, God will never disappoint us. In fact, God wi...
