Don't give up on PRAYER!

 

Hindrance to Prayer

"And he shall bring it to pass" (Ps. 37:5).

I once thought that after I prayed that it was my duty to do everything that I could do to bring the answer to pass. He taught me a better way, and showed that my self-effort always hindered His working, and that when I prayed and definitely believed Him for anything, He wanted me to wait in the spirit of praise, and only do what He bade me. It seems so unsafe to just sit still, and do nothing but trust the Lord; and the temptation to take the battle into our own hands is often tremendous.

We all know how impossible it is to rescue a drowning man who tries to help his rescuer, and it is equally impossible for the Lord to fight our battles for us when we insist upon trying to fight them ourselves. It is not that He will not, but He cannot. Our interference hinders His working.  --C.H.P.

Spiritual forces cannot work while earthly forces are active.

It takes God time to answer prayer. We often fail to give God a chance in this respect. It takes time for God to paint a rose. It takes time for God to grow an oak. It takes time for God to make bread from wheat fields. He takes the earth. He pulverizes. He softens. He enriches. He wets with showers and dews. He warms with life. He gives the blade, the stock, the amber grain, and then at last the bread for the hungry.

All this takes time. Therefore we sow, and till, and wait, and trust, until all God's purpose has been wrought out. We give God a chance in this matter of time. We need to learn this same lesson in our prayer life. It takes God time to answer prayer.  --J. H. M.

Look to God and you will see

Don't give in to old unbelief

Look to God and don't give up on prayer!

SHE SHALL BRING FORTH A SON

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

What a beautiful thought! God with us. God in the flesh, coming down to mortal men. Dwelling amongst us. Coming down as a baby, born in the most humble place...a manger. Coming down. Living with us, crying with us, laughing with us, sharing in our temptations, sharing in our joys, but without SIN! God with us. Jesus, coming to be the sacrifice for all man kind. Jesus, the son of God, God in the flesh. King of Kings and Lord or Lords, choosing to dwell with sinful man, to live and die for us! We are the ones with the sin. We are the ones who are not worthy, yet God saw fit to come in the form of Jesus His only begotten Son and to willingly die so that we might live! What an awesome and loving God we serve! And all of this, a free gift to us. All we have to do is confess our sins, be sorry for them, forsake them and ask God to forgive us, and tell him we accept the free gift of salvation through his son Jesus Christ. We are guilty, but Jesus already paid the price! This Christmas receive the best gift ever! The free gift of salvation through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

John 3: 16, 17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water
Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters
Did you know that your baby boy would walk where angels trod
When you've kissed your little baby you've kissed the face of GOD!
Mary did you know?
