His Will

Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
1.) Why is it so important to submit ourselves to God's will?

2.) Why is it that when we follow our own ambitions we hurt ourselves, others, or both?

Did you pray today? If you haven't, now is as good a time as any. Pray and pray continually.

Deception

Leviticus 19:11
Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another.

1.) Most people are not con men. However, how are we deceptive to each other on a smaller scale? 

2.) Do you genuinely treat other people as God would want you to every day?

3.) Is it impossible for us to always treat others as we should or is just difficult for us to remain consistent?

If you breathing then you could be praying. Pray and pray continually. Make it as natural to pray as it is to breathe and I pray God blesses you tonight.

Love

John 17: 26

Jesus said,

"I have made you known to them, and will contnue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

1.) How often do you we fail to love everyday?

Make prayer in your life as natural as breathing. Pray and pray continually.

Counted Faithful

1Timothy 1:12

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.

* I really don't even know what to say or write to be honest. I read this and was just in awe.

1.) Why does he count us faithful?

2.) Are we all put into the ministry?

This looks like another verse that beckons one to his knees in prayer.

Godliness

1 Timothy 4:8

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

1.) Why is physical training only of some value?

2.) What give godliness value for all things?

Pray and pray continually. Make praying as natural as breathing. I pray God blesses you tonight and keep in mind those in Japan that need our prayers.

Sunday

Sunday

• It's Sunday.
• No study today.
• Spend time in prayer.
• Talk to God, submit yourself in prayer.
• spend more than just a few moments.
• Make a list of things to pray about.
• Make a list of people to pray for
• If you started keeping a log of our scripture studies that would be a great place to keep your prayer list.
• You don't have to be a pro.
• The more you do something, the better you will get.
• James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

If you recently started following this blog, please take today to look at the previous post and offer your comments and insights. Have a restful evening and I look forward to posting more scriptures starting tomorrow. May God bless you tonight.

A Heart of God

Psalms 119: 10-11 (NIV)

I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.  I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

What can you do to hide God's word in your heart?

Pray and pray continually. I pray that God blesses you tonight.

Gathered in Jesus' Name

Matthew 18:20 (NIV)

For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

1.) Have you ever considered Jesus being this close to us?

2.) Have you ever thought about Jesus being close to you when talking about him?

Pray and pray continually especially for the people of Japan. May God bless them tonight.

Psalm 19:14

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight oh lord, my rock and my redeemer.

1.) What do think "meditation of my heart" is?

2.) Reflect on what this verse speaks to you.

This verse sound like it could be a prayer. I encourage you to actually use this verse as a part of your prayers to God. Pray and pray continually. Seek God's guidance and may He bless you tonight.

God's Supply

Philippians 4:19

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

1.) If we are living a Christ like life, do we have any reason to believe that God wouldn't supply all our needs?

2.) What needs has God suppled you with already?

Great time for comments! Pray and pray continually. I pray that God blesses you tonight!

Lent

If Lent is not something that you take part of then I encourage you to give a chance. It's a way to express your love and worship of God.

If Lent is something that you are taking a part of then ask yourself the following:

"Am I giving this up to better myself or is it truthfully for Christ?"
"Am I truthfully giving up anything at all?"
"Is this really going to be a struggle for me?"
Bottom line, "Am I truthfully doing this out of love for Christ or out of love for myself?"

God is speaking if your ready to listen. Don't take the easy route. Let this be an experience that truthfully brings you closer to Christ. Otherwise, what's the point?

Leave a comment or two or three. Let's share thoughts, concerns, and grow spiritually from this experience. Pray and pray continually. Remember, don't short your Lent experience.

Spiritual Gifts

Keep a record
Keep a prayer list with it
Keeping praying and pray continually

1 Conrinthians 12:7

Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
(NIV)

At the beginning fo 1 Conrinthians 12, Paul is talking about the recieving of spiritual gifts for the born again. We all recieve different gifts, but they are all gifts of the same spirit. Gifts are given to us to be used for others.

1.) Do you honestly know what your spiritual gift/gifts are?

2.) Does God "zap" us with abilities, do we have to harness them over time, or both?

I know this has got to topic on everyones mind. Leave a comment and share you questions or insights. Let's talk about God instead of Charlie Sheen.
