prayer no matter what

PRAYER

Prayer it seems to some is a great problem, the devil always attacks those who pray or want to pray, the devil always try to stop you by sowing seeds of discouragement and seeds of evil impressions,or false witness against you , just what ever it takes to stop you from praying ,satan will try it ,and get the victory if you let him accuse you , or discourage you, Hannah was such a one,we read about her in the book of 1 samuel, chapter one,she was married to a man named Elkanah,although it wasnt right he had married two wives,and peninnah his other wife was fruitful, she had kids, but hannah didnt bare none, and peninnah use to speak evil against hannah and brag because hannah was barren,because Elkannah loved hannah more it seemed,and peninnah was after first place in his heart, well we see hannah was sad and in tears and even didnt want to eat from the greif in her heart,but she knew where the comfort was, so she went to the temple, and bowed and prayed to the Lord,she prayed silent but didnt move her lips , and did cry tears begging God for a man child,and she told God if He would grant Her a man child she would devote Him to the Lords work,well we see she prayed.and what happend , Eli the preist, the man of God accused her of being drunk,even though she was praying with her heart, man took it as something bad,she did'nt let it stop her from praying, she explained herself to Eli , and why she was red eyed , and why she was moveing her lips but not talking out loud, she knew man didnt need to hear her prayer, God knew her heart, and she was'nt there to be lifted up to man on her great sounding prayer.she had a open door to prayer to God , no matter what man thought of her, and we find out God honored her, and she had samuel,see the devil tried to disturb her from praying, even with the preist.discouragement will slip in unawares, we must remember , only God is to be pleased with our prayer , and mans decernments dont matter .may we watch for the attacks of the devil in discouragement , and set our face like a flint ,and pray regaurdless how we feel , or who approved,((amen)) by warren

IF GOD BE FOR US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US

PSALMS 121:3 "He will not suffer thy foot to be moved;He that keepeth thee will not slumber."

no matter the storm,no matter the problem,we have a ancor in christ that will never turn us lose, a rock that we can stand on in assurance.knowing that it can not be moved and the storms of life will not deminish it from under our foot,satan trys to make the storms seem hopeless, and the trials seem forever, but there is a end to every storm ,and for those who keep there faith in christ we shall never be moved from His love,or His strong hand.nothing will ever seperate us from His loveing seal on our life,when we have accepted Him as our Lord.enemys will try to take you down but God will fight for His church,and will defeat the enemy in His time,and all will profess His GLORY.God will never fail those who come to Him tru His son Jesus,the story will be told and the sure rock will stand ,of the power and keeping of His children,no dear saint of God,no need to fear or worry when we are His,let the econmy fall,and the nations cease,let the evil rage and stomp its ugly feet,let the winds blow ,and the floods come, but to His children i say ,hold up your head and stand high on His assurance,and His word to us.because He never fails.trust in Him ,and never fear. "trust in the Lord with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding....in all thy ways acknowledge Him,and He shall direct thy paths proverbs 3:5-6

joy cometh in the morning

joy cometh in the morning

"Blessed are ye,when men shall hate you,and when they seperate you from there company,and shall reproach you,and cast out your name as evil,for the Son Of Man's sake,...'.'Rejoice ye in that day,and leap for joy:for,behold,your reward is great in heaven:for in the like matter did their fathers unto the prophets." luke 6:22-23

sometimes we find ourselves alone, and feeling like we have no one to turn to ,or to share our life with,and everyone who you thought was your friend,has faded away into the past,and because of your way of liveing for the Lord, they dont want to be around you , because your presence causes them to feel guilty of there sins , so they cast you away as if your a sore.of some in jelousy try to attack your stand just to ease there own guilt,but God see's past all the apperances of man,He is not fooled , although many people are, and beleive the evil reports told against you, and how it troubles your heart to be accused,but the Bible says at this time to praise God for He sees what is real ,and there are no false tales brought to Him that He dont see trough,so glory in the fact that He see's all and sorts all to His glory, and evil will bring Gods works togeather , just as the good will, God will complete His work with the use of both,and we know He see's the heart and no one can lie to Him.so we stand in the promise of His word, and know that even if its hard to deal with now, God will bring every evil and every good thing into light one day (eccesiastes 12:14,)and the record will be set straight, so with this promise we can set our eyes to Him and glory in the account that we were blessed to share in His suffering for the glory of His name,let us lift our heads in victory and march foward for Jesus ,with full assurance that He will never fail at the words written in His book.praise God for His security.

psalms 30:5..........:weeping may endure for a night,but joy cometh in the morning.

never alone with Jesus

Psalm 27:10
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.

angela sat looking out her window on a rainy day,thinking back of days when kids run tru the house fussing with each other, and she was busy cooking and cleaning and prepareing dinner,busy trying to keep peace with the three kids,her life had really been busy in them days,keeping a job and home going, takeing care of church things,keeping hubby happy, and the kitty happy, it always filled the day ,and kept her busy,now it was all different,her hubby had passed, and the kids were all grown,and here she was in a far away land all alone,or so it seemed sometimes.although the peace and quite was nice sometimes , at other times it seemed so lonely,

Our world can be a lonely place when everyone is too busy to give time to one another. People get lost in the shuffle. Sometimes it happens to us. We need the Lord in our lives so we never have to worry about being alone. The Spirit of God dwells within each one of us, and for that reason, God is never far from us. When the pace of life threatens to bury you, remember the Lord and reach out to Him. He will not leave you lonely.

Prayer:

Lord, I am reaching out to You. When I feel most alone, be close by me. Help me to always be aware of Your prese nce. Amen.
