Powerful Prayers

Do you hear his voice? Sometimes it\\\'s like we don\\\'t know who hears us. Does God even know who is listening to him? That would be nice.

I sin and sin and sin most times without realising it! Is it possible for god to speak to me and actually hear him?
-
I can imagine that\'s the situation right now. God want to hear your voice though! God does not take letters, memos or emails. God is a face to face relational Lord. God is a gentleman and will not make you submit to him, but you must do it of your own free will. God requires face to face connection so he can look into your sould and you must be willing to give yourself completely, vulnerable and exposed without blemish, wrinkle or malice. When you do he will relish it and show you how much he loves you by writing his commandments on your heart. God will always listen to those he loves if they are true of heart and are truly repentant and want to turn to him and not serve as a tool of satan. God has always been there for his beloved and always consideres forgiveness and mercy, just as his people do also. You only need to be willing to speak to him.

If so tell me how and I will be content...how do I go through a spiritual rebirth by the way?
-
God will meet all of your needs and you will be content. That has been his true desire since your creation. Gods wants to enter into your life and create a whole new type of relationship for all who are willing to serve him. God is not one dimensional and understands the needs of all and will accept you as you are if you only ask him and are willing to be fully transparent. You only need to make the first move to approach him, first seek first his face and when you have seen his face you only need to reach out and take what is yours. the hardness, of heart, when when YOU release it, you will receive the contentment and pleasure you deserve by submitting to your Lord. Your salvation is right in front of you, staring you in your face. Its Gods goodness that you need and he wants to share it with you so badly.

How is that possible? In my mind there is nothing but a large headache of guilt!

Guilt is a natural response when we do wrong and offend God and it will remain in us until we truly repent by getting on our knees to pray and beg his forgiveness. When he accepts the offering your guilt will seem to just melt away and you will be filled with his Glory and taste the warmth of his love.

And my last question is that.. is possible for me to enter the kingdom of god without dying to just speak to him???
-
God will not kill you unless your sin remains unconfessed and continues. Yes of course you can enter into his kingdom as long as it is of pure heart. You must carefully tread so into his kingdom and with a gente whisper call his name. You must be of humble heart, submissive attitude as he is God and you are his servant and not his master to demand of him! God his full of love and blessings, has loved your since your creation and wants to explode into your life as your praise him with with you with the words of your lips and work of your hands and love of your heart.

I hope this is what you are asking because it\'s now all I have to offer as my purity of offering has been tainted by the geile of man.

My brother, God loves you very, very much! Don't believe the devil, he is a liar and the father of lies! God says He has a Good Plan for you, and He NEVER lies.

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

(Jeremiah 29:11)

Demons are trying to steal, kill and destroy, but JESUS came so that you might have ABUNDANT life!

9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:9-10)

No matter what demons are saying to you, DO NOT believe them!

If you are born again, you are a CHILD OF GOD, and deliverance from demons is for you! If you aren't born again, read this page http://www.christian-faith.com/forjesus/the-good-news#intro and pray the prayer at the end. You will be adopted by God Himself, and God's children can be delivered from ALL demons.

9That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”e 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13)

When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”

9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”

“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.

11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed. (Mark 5:2-20)

Trust God who justifies the ungodly (Romans 4:5) He can justify you, Jesus died for your sin, He was raised for your justification, and He does NOT condemn you!

He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. (Romans 4:25)

21But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,i through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. (Romans 3:21-26)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

Sister, Simply choose to learn from your mistakes and move forward. You use the word "partner" for example. I will, for the purposes of this conversation, assume you were not married, or you would use the stronger term, husband, to tell us the depth of what is going on.

If you have been partnering with a man, you have brought confusion into your house. Confess your adultery before God. You sinned against Him by choosing to place your emotions and drives above His Word. Will you choose to continue that path? If you answer yes, go no further, for you will get no further. If you choose to answer "no", then repent and turn from your sin.

Confess your sin to Him as Sin, not a "mistake" or a "bad choice" or a "stupid move", but as sin. This is you aligning yourself with God and seeing it from His perspective, not yours. Speaking it from HIS point of view, not your own. This is what confession is.  "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness."

Once you have been cleansed, it is important that you walk in righteousness. Not the "every man did that which was right in his own eyes" kind, that is evil, but God's righteousness that is clearly spoken in Black and White, or Red and White, in God's Word. Nothing mystical here :-) !

You need the clarity of God's Word to break through the fog and fury of the confusion that is surrounding you now. Fear is chasing you and you need to stop and tell it where to go. You will probably need to forgive some significant people for some significant sins and hurts. You will probably need to repent to your dear daughter for the unstable environment you placed her in... I mean tearfully and whole heartedly repent to her, and ask (for her sake, not yours) that she forgive you and those who have hurt her because of you.

Scripture says, "fear has torment". 1 John 4:18 Scripture also says, "If you do not likewise forgive others, so shall your Father do unto you, (turn you over to tormentors)" Mat 18:23-?

I passed a sign yesterday that said, "We ignore God, and then blame Him for the consequences." It is a human condition, not just your own. I am writing directly, because you need a clear signal to hone into, to come out of the confusion. This is a starting point. Let me know if you are able to accept it, or if you are madder than a wet hen at me!

As you go forward, recommitted to serving the Lord in your life choices, there will be less place for the enemy to take up in your life. Your peace WILL return and the fear of tomorrow will go. You can repent to the Lord for violating His command to "take no anxious thought for tomorrow." Then, whenever you think about the bills, or housing, just force yourself to narrow your future down to, "what do my daughter and I need to get through the day til bed time?" and leave it at that. Do not be anxious for anything.

Was your daughter molested, or violated emotionally by this man? This would produce severe anxiety. Help her to forgive, the Lord will strengthen her.

"Father, I pray for my sister. Give restore to her the joy of your salvation. Lead her to repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, that she might escape herself and her daughter, from the snare of the devil. Deliver them from fear of tomorrow, fear of the night. Set her feet upon a rock and let her build upon that Rock according to the Words of Jesus, whos says, "if any man will hear my words and do them, the same is that one who built upon the rock" and the rain came and the wind blew, but the house stood firm. Let Your Peace that passes understanding, invade this home and overthrow the fear and pain and confusion and accusation of hell that would drive this sister to reunite with that which has divided her from you. In Jesus' name, amen."

Tim

PS - if the man IS your husband, most of this still applies, just apply it accordingly, but don't throw it out alltogether...

I understand your pain, Valerie,because i've been through it.i won't lie and make you believe otherwise, Its very hard to get over someone you really love and are used to,but with the holy spirit,everything is possible! So i pray for you today because although im trying to make you feel better,im also suffering deeply.

"Lord,please hear our prayer tonight,send your Holy Spirit on us and give ur the strength to see that no matter what happens,we are strong in you and we will get through anything.We are only human and our faith wavers more than it should,but You know we love You and we know that You will never let us suffer in vain. Show us,please,dearest Father,how to accept the daily happenings and to bear the pain, knowing that happiness follows close behind. We're asking because you said "ask and you shall receive".We ask this, in Your Son's name, Jesus Christ.
Amen"

"Dear Father, I pray that You deliver Nicholas from the cult that has been pursuing him, that has been causing him grief and terror. I pray as he continues to seek Your presence and Your Word, that you draw him unto You and give Him the strength to overcome all principalities. I pray that He continue to feel your presence, your peace, and joy, and comfort as he abides in You. I pray these things in Jesus' name, Amen".

Nicholas, I hope that you continue to pursue God in prayer and continue to abide in His Word. Know that first and foremost you will always have Jesus Christ who will never forsake you, who will be your protector and avenger. Know that you have brothers and sisters in Christ here that will pray for you and offer any advice that you may need. Like Tim, I also don't have personal experience in the area of cults but I will definitely be here to pray for you and talk with you (and I think I speak for many others here as well) if you ever need me. I know it helps tremendously to be able to share with fellow brothers and sisters when the rest of the world is against us.

If you like, I can help you get an idea of what is going on, but it will take a willingness to email me some details. Email me and I can help you sort through the cause and how to get free. "For God has not give us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind." Also, "Perfect love casts out fear."

God has made a way for you to be free. Let me know if I can help.

Maurice-

Advice- to excel at your work, remember your first calling, "To witness to Jesus".

Pray with me this prayer:

"Father, enable me to be the most excellent witness to the Name of Jesus- fortify my strength and furnish me with wisdom so that I may be that light on the Hill and prove salt to those about me!"

In the Name of Jesus- may you be empowered by the Holy Spirit to be His representative!

Faith,

I will pray for your marriage at the end of this post. First let me encourage you that I too had a vile temper when I first got married. As I submitted myself to the Lord in every area of my life slowly God taught me to become a more self controlled wife. It took time but through prayer, God's Word each day and a wonderful husband who also was committed to Christ we have a strong marriage.

Here is some scripture that helped me grow out of my angry ways.

EPH 4:20 You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21 Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

EPH 4:25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 "In your anger do not sin" : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.

EPH 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

EPH 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Dear Lord,

Praying for my sister Faith and her desire to become a godly wife. May you help her to submit to you so that you may help her change whatever is the root cause of this behaviour. Lord I also pray for her fiance that you would be leading him into godliness and give him wisdom to become the spiritual head of this marriage. I pray for your blessing upon the wedding day that it would not only be a day of celebration of both families but that it would also glorify You. Praying all this in Jesus Name Amen.
