Prayer & Forgiveness

God does not get rushed. He is never pressured. He can however be talked into good things - it's called prayer. We have to be a believer and have faith to receive whatever we ask for in prayer. The power of prayer is an awesome tool.

Saying things like "There's no hope," tells God He doesn't have the power to fix your situation. Nothing is beyond His repair.

I personally believe that some of us don’t hear voices, but we get instincts and signs that guide us to the answer of some of our prayers.

Wishing for things will never be a substitute for praying for things.

See Matthew 21:22

When we pray, believe that we will receive.

Keep saying to yourself: “I believe and I receive” Joy and pleasure come with believing, so make sure you keep praying for the right things. (Not just the bad things in life, but the good)

We need to learn to be still in his presence so that we can hear what he is saying to our heart. Find a quite place to meditate if possible and open your heart and soul to God.   

(See Psalm 46:10)

God does not cover up our sins, he removes them completely when we pray for forgiveness, so we don’t need to spend a lot of our time in guilt mode asking God for forgiveness.

Were not built for guilt so we need to learn how to receive his mercy. We need also to earn his mercy, deserve his mercy and receive the help that God sends us. How do we do that? Pray and act accordingly.

God wants to give us grace which is unreserved favour and a free gift. Remember that grace is the power of the Holy Spirit.

God gave us his son, (see John 3:16) so surely he will give us other things as well?

However, you cannot give away something to someone else when you do not have it? (Look at love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Help)

(See Hebrews 4:16)

You cannot give mercy if you have not learned how to receive his mercy. God’s love will melt a hard heart so make sure that you pass on his love and pray for others.

Oswald Chambers once said, “We hear it said that a man will suffer in his life is he does not pray; I question it. What will suffer is the life of the Son of God within him, which is nourished not by food but by prayer...Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished”

Remember, God is there for the good times as well as the bad times.

Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is love, enjoy it. Life is costly, care for it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is life, so fight for it.
