God Answer Prayers

There is hope! God in His mercy came to Adam and Eve and clearly revealed the great sin they had committed, but He promised a Redeemer who would deliver them.

Many years later, Jesus Christ was born. He taught the way of truth. He came so that we could have spiritual life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). To receive this new life, we must become converted. Jesus said, “Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3).

Like Adam and Eve, our sins bring guilt and shame. Jesus calls us to repent of our sins, which means we are sorry for them and are willing to forsake them. If we turn to Jesus, asking Him to forgive our sins and believing He is able to save us, He cleanses our hearts. He gives us daily grace as we yield to His Spirit and walk in obedience to His Word. We are filled with the Holy Spirit, which gives us power to overcome sin. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12).

The Christian believer trusts God to provide and care for him. He listens to the voice of the Holy Spirit, who comforts him when he does right and reproves him when he does wrong. He learns more and more to trust God for strength to overcome temptations. Each victory strengthens his faith. He finds that victory is always within reach when he relies on God’s enabling grace each day.

A Christian believer becomes aware that sin separates him from God. Therefore, he no longer associates with evil companions and he avoids ungodly activities. God does not force him to do this. He chooses to live separately from the evils of the world.

The child of God is at peace because the guilt of sin has been taken away. Confident in God’s love and forgiveness, he brings his cares and burdens to God in prayer. This makes it possible to live without anxiety and fear. He walks daily with Jesus, thus finding true happiness and fulfillment. As long as he does not sin wilfully, he remains at peace with God.

A true believer in Christ seeks fellowship with those who share his faith and trust in God. Together, they find joy in talking about their Christian lives. They share their blessings and struggles to strengthen each other. Burdens become lighter, and there is new strength for victory.

Will you surrender your life to Jesus? God’s grace is available to all who will repent and believe. Commit your past, present, and future to Him. Nothing less than complete, heartfelt repentance and faith in Christ will bring the peace, joy, and enabling grace of God into your life. Give Him your heart today and he will surely answer your prayer in Jesus Name.. Amen.. Because he loves me, says the lord, ” I will rescue him: i will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and i will answer him…. (psalm 91:14) (NIV).

Does God Answer Prayer

Millions address countless prayers to numberless of deities. Why does it seem that so many prayers are not answered?
East or West, people offer prayers for many and varied personal reasons. Obviously, they want their prayers to be heard and answered. However, is it realistic to expect that all prayers will be favorably heard? What about your own prayers? Are they answered? In fact, does God answer prayers at all?

Prayer is a humble plea directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus. Prayer is expressing ourselves to a loving father in heaven. In prayer our spirit communicates with God either through words spoken or even in our thoughts. God wants us to speak with Him. We may come to Him with our thankfulness, requests, and disappointments.

Upon praying for the first time, some people say they feel strange, as if they are speaking to nothing. This is what Satan wants us to believe, that we will not pray again. The truth is that the Bible assures us that, wherever we are and whatever hour it may be, God hears our sincere request. “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us” (1 John 5:14).

Prayer is talking to God. Speak directly to Him in a frank and sincere manner, telling Him all that you feel and need. If you do not understand why you feel as you do, tell God about it. The Bible says, “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26). When you are frustrated and discouraged or happy and thankful, express yourself to God. It is important to be honest in prayer. God wants to hear how we really feel down deep inside.

Listen to what God may have to tell you. He speaks to us by giving impressions and thoughts. These may come while we are praying. Even the words that we pray can be the result of impressions given by God. God wants to communicate His will to us. He may do this during prayer or afterward. He speaks through His Spirit, through the Bible, and through His servants.

When we pray, we need to shut out the distractions of the world around us and concentrate on our communion with God. While we can pray in any place and in any position, we need a quiet place if possible. As we close our eyes and kneel in reverence to God we are better able to meditate. Our attention needs to be focused on God (Matthew 6:6).

Eternity

The word eternity is used in Isaiah 57:15 where it states that God inhabits eternity. He is eternal with no beginning and no end. This can be said only of God, for man has beginning but his soul has no end. The dictionary agrees with the Bible that eternity is a duration without end; the state into which the soul passes at death and in which it remains forever and ever.

The opening statement of the Bible, “In the beginning God created the heaven and earth” (Genesis 1:1), has reference to the creation of the heaven and the earth and all things therein (Colossians 1:16-17). God has decreed that all things shall cease to exist: “the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10).

Man is a creature of time-he takes time, uses time, and depends on time. His life is controlled by time. Time, however, as important as it is, has no relation to eternity. Eternity is unique and incomparable. It has no measurable length, breadth, depth nor height. It offers no opportunity to change the eternal destiny that was chosen in life. It is everlastingly the same.

In all of creation, only man, clothed with a changed and immortal body, will make the transition from time into eternity. Man is the only creature who has the “breath of life” (Genesis 2:7), which lasts forever as God does.

Eternal Destinies

here are only two eternal destinies—the blessed abode of the saved and the flaming abyss of the lost. The Bible speaks of Paradise and of the pit of hell, of glorious light and of total darkness.

There are Only Two Destinies
On the Judgment Day, only two groups of people will step forth, “they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation” (John 5:29).

When the lost shall hear the great Judge declare their sentence of guilt, “I never knew you; depart from me,” (Matthew 7:23) where will those doomed souls go? When the righteous eyes of the King pierce the guilty one and no excuse rings true, what will happen? When the Book of Life is opened and the name is missing, what then?

Geology of Christ 2

He inspired his prophets to foretell of the coming of their Redeemer. To make it more impressive and that man might be looking for Him; He gave them rituals to observe in their worship pointing to Christ. Through centuries many prophets have spoken of Him as they were led of the Holy Ghost. The patriarch Jacob foretold in the blessing of Judah: “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah… until Shiloh come” (Genesis 49:10). Moses the great man of God said: “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken” (Deuteronomy 18:15). The prophet Isaiah spoke words which Jesus much later applied to Himself: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives” (Isaiah 61:1). More than seven hundred years before the birth of our Savior, the prophet Micah pinpointed the city of his nativity by saying: “But thou, Bethlehem… out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel” (Micah 5:2). His coming was in a time when gross darkness prevailed, “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people” (Isaiah 60:2).

The fullness of time had come and the angel of the Lord announced the great event. First Mary was told, “That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35), and “Thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Later it was announced to the shepherds who watched their flocks by night, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). A multitude of the heavenly host in a night chorus praised God saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14). After the angels were gone into heaven, the shepherds went to behold this wonder of wonders and found it as the angels had made known unto them. Wise men from the east, guided by a star, sought Him and found Him as foretold (Matthew 2:11). Many people marvel at the birth of Jesus and search the Scriptures for details to be assured that Jesus is the only “name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Jesus confirms this great gift in John 3:16 by saying: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God gave his Son to be crucified that through this atonement, shedding of his blood, we might have the forgiveness of sins. Now if Jesus had not come into the world, there would have been no atonement. Our salvation depends upon his birth, his death, his resurrection, and our acceptance of Christ as Savior. It is of utmost importance that one believes on the “only begotten of the Father” and accepts Him as his personal Savior. He came to give the more abundant life.

Let all men seek Him, find Him, adore Him, and live such lives as are acceptable to Him. Is it possible that Christ’s birth is commemorated at Christmas, and Christ Himself should be left out? When this happens, many people attempt to fill the resultant emptiness with glitter and decorations, with things and activities. A sincere Christian, seeing the commercialism of the Christmas season, will feel that the true Christmas spirit has been lost. Christmas should be a time of rereading and celebrating the timeless holy story. The Christian celebration should not focus on festivities and selfish activities. Let us joyously call to remembrance “what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God” (1 John 3:1). “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15). With the eye of faith and in the spirit of true humble worship, may we, as the wise men, follow the star that leads to the Christ child and give Him our devotion!
