GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

Proverbs 3:6 NLT Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. 

 

It is so important for me to listen to God’s instructions. I need to learn the values, morals, and priorities by observing and behaving and reacting in the way God shows me in His teachings. I need to understand what is right, just, and fair. I need to be filled with God’s wisdom and knowledge, and then my heart will be filled with joy. I need to be wise so I am able to follow God’s plan and His plan will come to pass at His appointed time.

 

Prayer

 

Father, it is so important that I listen to Your voice in everything I do, everywhere I go; You are the One who will help me to reach the goals You have planned for my life and keep me on track. You have set a timeline for me to follow. I must follow the direction and the instruction of the Holy Spirit, and He will guide and lead me confidently in His perfect plan in Jesus Name. I trust You in confident faith I will reach the goals Yo have made for my life, and at Your appointed time Your plans will come to pass. I adore, love, glorify, and exalt Your precious name forever and always in the name of Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen

BE OBEDIENT


 

1 Timothy 1:18-19 NLT Timothy my son, here are My instructions for you, based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier. May they help you fight well in the Lord’s battles. Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people here diliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.

 

The elders of the church spoke a prophetic word over me, and I knew this was a direct word from God. I highly valued the gift God had given to me and I was absolutely going to be obedient and follow the instructions God gave to me. I made sure my conscience was clear, treasured my faith in Christ more than anything else,and I would do what I knew to do which would be right. I did not want to ignore my conscience or harden my heart. I ask for wisdom and discernment so I would discern the difference between right and wrong. I asked the Holy Spirit of God to help me. I did not want my faith to be violated or shipwrecked.

 

Prayer 

 

Heavenly Father, I ask You to give me the gift of Wisdom and Revelation in the Knowledge of You. May my eyes of my heart be enlightened, and may I know the hope to which You have called me. There is a future hope for me and it will not be cut off. I thank You through the Holy Spirit of God, You enable and empower me to live a life which honours God. I praise and thank You always and forever more in Jesus’ name. Amen

THE HOLY SPIRIT

 

 

John 14:16-17 NLT You didn’t choose Me, I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit so that the Father will give you whatever you asked for using My name. This is My command: Love each other.

 

I can never thank Jesus enough for choosing me. He has chosen me to represent Him to the world. 

I remember when I first became a Chrisitan, I went to a lady whom I cared for as she needed help. She had been a Christian for a long time. On this particular visit she said to me, “Avril, I am of the old soil, but you are of the new soil, the virgin soil.” At the time I had no idea what she was talking about and It took a while before God gave me the understanding of what those words meant.  After my visit to her a few days later, I heard and she had died and gone to be with the Lord.

 

Prayer

 

Heavenly Father, I pray that I keep my eyes focused upon You. I ask the Holy Spirit of God, to keep me alert and not get overly focused on circumstances and problems, so I can redirect my attention to You. You know where You want me to sow the seeds of God, and the people whom You have chosen to be Your people. I ask the Holy Spirit of God, to guide and lead me to the people He wants to sow the seeds too. I commit and commend this prayer to You, in the precious name Jesus Christ, my Lord. Amen

LISTEN TO JESUS

 

 

Isaiah 46:3-4 NLT I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you born. I will be your God throughout your lifetime – until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

 

It is awesome to know God cared and knew me before and after I was born to the earth. He will be my God throughout my lifetime. He made me, and He will take care of me, He has carried me along and He has saved me. 

He does not remember the things I have done in my past. For He alone is God! He is God, there is no-one like Him. Only He can tell me the future before it even happens. Everything He has planned for my life will come to pass at His appointed time, for He does whatever He wishes.

 

Prayer

 

Father, how awesome You are and there is no-one like You. Thank You for caring and carrying me before I was born to the earth. You have made a plan for my life, and my future belongs to You. No-one can stop the plans You have made for my life no matter how hard they try. I praise and thank You for everything You are doing for me in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen

FOR GET THE FORMER THINGS


 

Isaiah 43:18-19 NLT But forget all that – It is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

 

At times it has been hard for me to forget the former things I was involved with before I knew God. It was only when I cried out to God, and Jesus came into my life things began to change. Once that happened, I could not get enough of God’s Word. I would bathe in the Scriptures, continually asking God to reveal to me what they meant for me. 

When God led me to this verse, I began to see what He was revealing to me. He wanted me to forget the past, and my past was nothing compared to what He was going to do for me in the future with my life with Jesus Christ. He was going to do something knew, and He had already begun doing it. Where I had been walking in the wilderness for the first forty years of my life, now Jesus was living in my heart and life, there was no need for me to walk in the wilderness any longer. God would make it clear to me the pathway He wanted me to take and I would walk on it. 

 

Prayer

 

Jesus, I remember those wonderful days when I first met You. Sometimes, I laughed and sometimes I cried with You, but I have never given up, nor have I forgotten what You have done for me. 

I lost many friends because of my faith in You, my friends and loved ones did not seem to understand the importance of my relationship with You. They walked away from me, but Lord, You never have. 

Lord, I will forget the former things, I will not dwell on my past, for I can see You are doing new things in my life, and You are making them clear to me for the glory, honour, and praise of the Lord Jesus Christ name.  Amen

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD


 

Exodus 33:11 NLT One day Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Take these people up to the Promised Land.’ But You haven’t told me whom You will send with me.’I know you by name, and I look favorably on you.’”

 

The most important friendship I could ever have is the relationship I have with God. He speaks to those who listen to Him and walk in obedience to Him. I am certainly not perfect, gifted, or powerful; rather it is because God has chosen me. God has filled the gaps in my lifewhere I was empty and lost. He shows me my true worth, which I learnt when I met with the Lord Jesus Christ. Having confidence in Him tailors my life, and He prepares me for each situation I find myself in here on earth. I am content and feel the fulness of Christ’s life in me. He renews my strength daily with His supernatural power. He energizes and empowers me with His presence from above.

 

Prayer

 

Gracious God, how grateful and thankful I can have a real relationship with You, through Your precious Son, Jesus Christ. This is the greatest relationship I could ever have. I thank You for the help You give to me in doing this through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen

DIRECTLY TO THE FATHER


 

John 16:23 NLT At the time you won’t need to ask Me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and He will grant your requests because you use My name.

 

Having a relationship with God, through the name of Jesus is the best realtionship I have ever had. I can approach the throne of heaven directly, and as long as I am walking an obedient life, and follow the commandments of God, then God will answer my prayer’s in the name of Jesus Christ. I come to God with a confident heart, and my faith in Him, teaches me I can rely, depend, and lean upon the Holy Spirit of God to guide and lead me in accordance to God’s will.  

 

Prayer

 

Heavenly Father, I come directly to You in the name of Jesus Christ. I ask You to fulfill the plans, dreams, and vision You have predestined for my life in the name of Jesus Christ. 

I will be obedient and follow Your commandments, and through the Holy Spirit of God, I will lean, rely, depend upon Him to ask Him to meet all my needs in accordance to Your riches in glory. My heart is confident In You. I know You have heard my prayer and will answer me at Your appointed time in Jesus’ name. Amen
