THINGS I’VE LEARNED ON THIS JOURNEY…….

I once heard a pastor speak about characteristics of a prayer that God answers. Here is what he shared:

1 – It’s not done for the attention of others (Matthew 6:1).

2 – Pray as if you are always in a private conversation with Him (Matthew 6:5-6).

3 – Avoid endless repetition with the attitude of trying to tire God out and make Him give in (Matthew 6:7).

4 – Pray with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6).

5 – Pray in the Spirit, being alert to the needs of fellow Christians (Ephesians 6:18).

Good instructions for all of us, I believer.

The church should be a place where never is heard a discouraging word. You and I have a part in reaching that goal!

It is the Holy Spirit which guides you to build up, edify, uplift, encourage, etc. It is someone else who causes you to do just the opposite!

THINGS I’VE LEARNED ON THIS JOURNEY………

We have become so hung up on our own striving for “excellence,” in this day in which we are living, to the point of dismissing the power of the Holy Spirit.

Things we see as problems in life can be looked at as opportunities for us to see God at work.
