All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Beware the words: "I am/will Pray for you."
I am Praying for you. I will Pray for you. They sound the same but, they are not. Both, are Powerful actions. However, they can be miles apart. As we grow in the Lord, we learn that what we say matters. When we tell another that we are or will Pray for them, we are held to this. To tell someone, “I will Pray for you,” means at some point we will remember them in Prayers. To tell someone, “I am Praying for you,” is not even close to the same thing. To share with another these words, we at that point help shoulder whatever the other person is going through. This burden will weigh us down if we do not give it to God in Prayer. I will Pray for you, we at some point will pick up and help. As we are God’s Children, Holy Spirit will see to this.
As with everything in the Lord, it is NOT about us, or even the other person. It IS about Jesus Who is in us. And if not already, Lord willing will be about Jesus in the other person. Of ourselves we can do nothing! However, 1John 4:4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. If we knew only a few verses in the Bible, this one would be very beneficial. In this verse many things are covered. Faith, Power, Grace, Love, Hope, and on and on. Once we know who we are, then it does not matter about the opposition. We are told clearly where we stand. We are told who we are, how and why we have Victory, and that it is about God and the Spirit of God. The Victory and Power to live comes from and through these Two Powers, we simply receive. That is one reason why when we say, either one of those two statements, things begin to happen. “I am Praying for you,” to share those words, the Spirit of God begins to connect us. The Spirit is working through us to God and causing Victory to take place. ALL the Glory and Praise GOES to the Lord. We are just part of the mechanism.
These words; these promises, and that is what they are, can bring Hope to another. God hears them and so does the enemy. Things begin to happen after we say them. We help shoulder the burden, we all of a sudden give the enemy another target. It is not about us, but Christ Who is in us, the Spirit of God in us. As we intercede our Faith begins to work for another. All for the Glory of God. We will stand one day and give a account. We will face the Father, we will be asked, “did you Pray for them?” We will be shown; reminded, just exactly what we did.
These is another reason in my opinion why, Praying in the Spirit is so important. We are given a tool to be able to Pray for another. We do not need to know the details, God already does. The Spirit of God already knows, that is enough. Please do not get me wrong. We must Pray for others. Why be able to and not? Just when we say them, we must do what we say. This is how we help others. All that I am saying is, know that these words have Power in them. They also care a responsibility. Do not offer hope to someone else, and then blow them off. The Powers of Good and evil heard them said, and they both take action. Just remember 1John 4:4, we Do Have the Victory, we Do Have the Grace and Power. But, to say them without meaning or intention, we lie and then open the door to the enemy. This is Not what we want to do. Just follow through with what needs to be done, and all will be fine.

That is a very good discipline. To Pray right then and there, no matter the surrounding, is very good. This is the best way by far. Amen thank you for your comments. It is so very good to see you again, my Sister. You were part of the thought process that went into this. Again, Thank you

I think prayer is important ,there is no reaso you should wait when someone ask for prayer , I believe you should hold the vision of the one you are praying for,and pray for them at given moment, after all they did not ask for prayer later , they asked for prayer now, which in turn you are showing respect for that person you are praying for,specially as rushed as
people are,they may forget all together,God knows there needs , but maybe are Heavenly Father, would like to hear your
prayer for them at that given moment. That is just my opinion, Beloved ,pray for us - Thessalonians, 5;25 -

Most of the time, when someone shares and ask for prayer or even if they don't ask for it, If I felt an urge inside of me to pray for this certain person, I ask him/her if I could pray for him/her right there were we are that we can together pray as one. And sometimes I do include them in my prayer devotion. Amen
Thanks Chris,
I know and believe people are being encouraged and are being uplifted through your messages. Keep doing it, your labor in Christ is not vain. Amen

One part of this was as a intercessor, as I Pray for those on my list and others. At times I can feel the heaviness of others. As if I am, as I said sharing the burden. When this takes place we must Pray for those. If we do not the feeling can grow and grow. It is important to remember, when the Spirit moves us to Pray, we must Pray. As we tell others like I have, that I Pray for them everyday, at times I sense part of what someone else is battling. AS ALWAYS IT IS NOT ABOUT US, BUT JESUS!! TO HIM ALL THE GLORY GOES!!! Part of what I felt lead to share, is about that very thing. When we are lead we must obey. The Spirit leads us;; Jesus shows us the way, so as we grow in the Lord, we must know what to do when we are in this situation.
Again Bless the 3 of you so. I do Pray for you and yours everyday, As I know you all Pray for me and mine. We are Family, we need one another. This whole group means much to me. All of you help others and me all the time. God is so Good, and Jesus is COMING SOON!!!!!
