“Come and Join Me in God’s Word “ - Move Forward in Faith

Let us stop going over the same old ground again and again, always teaching those first lessons about Christ. Let us go on instead to other things and become mature in our understanding, as strong Christians ought to be. Surely we don’t need to speak further about the foolishness of trying to be saved by being good, or about the necessity of faith in God. (Hebrews 6:1 TLB)

To move forward with God and become more mature in faith we need a deep understanding of who Jesus Christ is. The Bible helps us to see we need to rely, depend, and lean upon the Holy Spirit of God. He reveals God’s character, nature, and personality to us. When we are hurting or wanting to run away or even feel like hitting someone, the best thing we can do is call out to Jesus immediately and begin to talk things through with Him. He is available at all times. He sits and waits for all of His children to come to Him. Nothing is too hard or difficult that He cannot solve. His love is always the same; it never alters or changes. He accepts and loves His children for who they are not what someone else wants them to be. He does not want any of us to live on feelings and emotions. He wants us to live effectively for Him to glorify and honour Him, and this is the choice we make.

Come and Join Me - The Holy Spirit Teaches Us

The Holy Spirit teaches how to have confidence in Christ Jesus. He also states that nothing will harm or hurt believers without the Lord’s permission. He teaches those who believe in Jesus to trust Him, have confidence in Him, and to rely upon Him. Reading and meditating on Scripture builds up faith.
At all times we need to focus upon God and not upon our situations. However, we do need to ask for God’s wisdom, instructions, and guidance to help us to know how to walk in His ways. We most certainly need to search for the principles of God, which are written for us in the Bible.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, I ask You to fill me with confidence in Jesus Christ. Help me to see through the eyes of Christ that nothing will harm or hurt me as stated in Your Word. I trust in the Word of God what is written cannot be changed. I stand upon God’s Word and promises and take His promises deep into my heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit. I pray my faith will be increased daily, as I continue to meditate upon God’s promises, I will constantly focus on God and not on my situations. I ask the Holy Spirit of God for wisdom, instructions, and guidance, to help me to keep in the centre of God’s will. I surrender completely in submission and obedience, and I relinquish my life, body, spirit, soul, and heart to Him forever and always I pray.. Amen 

Trust in God

Prayer

Father God, in the past You have told me to tell many a troubled soul to put their trust in You. I have encouraged those who are weak or falling, or lie crushed upon the ground or are tempted to despair. At times where trouble strikes, I have felt faint and broken.

This is the time I must remember to trust and have confidence in You. I believe in God through Jesus Christ and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God; to take care for those who are good. 

Satisfy me in the morning with Your unfailing love, that I may sing for joy and be glad all my days.

Surely You have granted me eternal blessings and made me glad with the joy of Your presence.

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. I praise and thank You with all of my heart You are a great and wonderful God who is worthy to be praised, adored and loved forever in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Being Disciplined by the Holy Spirit of God

God shows being undisciplined and being unruly will get us into trouble (we lose His peace). The Lord will not allow us to be undisciplined, and He will not allow us to go against His written Word. He only wants what is best for His children; after all, He has planned each one of our lives. Being fully surrendered to Christ and being obedient to His will gives us freedom, peace, joy, and happiness within our spirit, heart, and soul. It is all about making the right choices and whether you want to obey Him or not. Only you can make that decision.

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, please help me to walk in submission and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Do not allow me to be undisciplined or be unruly, but help me to walk a godly and holy life with Jesus Christ. I ask You to set me free from everything that hinders Your plans for me.   Only You are worthy to be praised, adorned, and loved, and I will not worship anyone other than You. I ask this prayer in Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen

Salvation Comes from Jesus Christ

For salvation that comes from trusting Christ—which is what we preach—is already within easy reach of each of us; in fact, it is as near as our own hearts and mouths. 9 For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing

in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation.[*] Romans 10:8-10 TLB

Perseverance in prayer for the family and friends is essential. We all want our loved ones to be redeemed and saved through the power of God’s mercy and grace. None of us want our loved ones to be lost. God shows through prayer no matter how long it takes and as long as we are prepared not to give up, He will not give up on us either. We must be fervent in our praying never giving up until we see our prayers fulfilled.

Forgetting the Past and Moving Forward....

Reading:

Philippians 3: 13-14 “I desire to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.“

Prayer

Father, I surrender this past year and give it up to You. I give You all my failures, regrets, disappointments; I have no more use for them. Make me a new person, forgetting what lies behind and pressing forward to that which lies ahead. I give You all my hopes and dreams for the future. Purify them by Your Spirit, so that my will shall truly reflect Your will for me. As I stand on the threshold of a new year, encourage me by my successes of the past, challenge me by the power of Your Word, and guide me by the presence of Your Holy Spirit. I will not be afraid or dismayed, for You Lord are with me wherever I go. With confidence in God, I can look ahead and walk boldly into a new year. Thank You so very much I look to this year with great expectations in Christ Jesus with praise and adoration. Amen.

There came a time in my life when God asked my family and I to move house so that He could help me to put past failures, regrets, and insecurities behind me. I cut the ties that I needed to. At the same time, He taught me how to pray with the Holy Spirit, thus showing me both the importance of prayer and how it could be used to break strongholds that I had allowed into my life. I moved forward knowing that what lay ahead would be far greater than anything I had left behind. We must ask God to give us wisdom, insight, and discernment to help us understand the things He wants us to know. Once you have made a prayer of commitment to God asking Him to forgive the sins which offended Him, you have made your peace with God. He then purifies the heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit from sin by washing and purifying our souls in the blood of Jesus Christ. Then, we begin to have a new life centred on Christ, and our lives begin to change because of what He has done for us.

A House Of Prayer: New Blog Post: 'Security In God'

Job 8:14-15 ESV His confidence is severed, and his trust is a spider’s web. He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.

Prayer

O my beloved God, You are my Saviour and Redeemer. You are my salvation, and I will trust in You and I will not be afraid. You are my Lord Jehovah who is my strength, my song, and my salvation in front of me and behind me. O God, help me to trust You from this hour, this minute, and to trust You with my body, mind, spirit, and soul. I trust and acknowledge You to choose and select my path. Show me how to seek You with all my heart. Remove any doubts from me, as doubts do not come from God. I refuse them. God, I ask You to anoint me with a greater faith in Jesus Christ. Please give me more of Your anointing than I had before, as I want more of Your presence within me. Holy Spirit, when Satan comes with his lies, please show me how to deal with them in the truth of God’s Word and promises. Amen.

We all need the basic security and will do almost anything we can to feel secure. Eventually our money, possessions, knowledge, and relationships will fail or be gone. Only God can give us lasting security, so we must trust Him for our security. If we attain a secure foundation with God then the feelings of insecurity will not undermine us.
