Talk To God About Everything

 HEBREWS 4:13-16 NLT

 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable. 14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

 You should talk to God just as you would to a very well- respected friend. Don't worry about using any special form of words. Just talk openly, honestly, and sincerely from your heart. (This is what "prayer" is supposed to be.) God knows what you are thinking anyway. You can't fool God or hide anything from Him. God knows you better than you know yourself. And the wonderful thing is that God still loves you! Nothing that concerns you is unimportant to God. Remember, He even keeps count of how many hairs you have! God is not too busy to hear about every detail of your life. I have no idea how God can listen to all of us, but He can. He is not bound by time like we are. However He does it, we don't have to be concerned but can just trust Him.

 JEREMIAH 33:3 NKJ
33 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' What a privilege to have the input and counsel of God who knows everything. Don't fail to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity. We are called into fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ! That means we should share everything with Him.

 1 CORINTHIANS 1:9 NKJ 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. God invites us to fellowship with Him. That would include just discussing things. Just visiting. Just "hanging out" together. This is what God desires. So don't disappoint Him! Don't talk at God, talk directly to God. Prayer should not be a spiritual exercise you have to get through. It's a conversation with Someone who loves you, and is very smart. "But what can I say to God?" "Thank You!" would be a good start. What would you say to any friend who was with you? You wouldn't have any trouble figuring out what to talk about with them would you? "But," you say, "God doesn't talk back." Yes, that is a difference you have to get used to. True, God does not usually speak back to us in the normal human fashion. The main way He "speaks" to us is through inward impressions or ideas, all of which will line up with His written Word, the Bible. We have to learn His way of communicating.

 SAY THIS: God wants me to talk with Him about everything, so I will.

Building Trust When Faith Wavers

  Mark 9:21-24 21 And He asked his father, How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, From childhood. 22 It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!" 23 And Jesus said to him, `If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes." 24 Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, I do believe; help my unbelief." Since faith is the core of our Christian experience, the consequences of wavering faith are far-reaching. Vacillating trust can lead us to make wrong decisions. Sometimes, after praying for direction, we might receive an answer that leads us to think, I can’t do that. So, instead of asking God to strengthen our faith, we make excuses. We may choose to postpone our obedience—even indefinitely—in order...

Blessed Are Your Baskets, Kneading Bowls And Nets!

Deuteronomy 28:5   Blessed Are Your Baskets, Kneading Bowls And Nets! 5“Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. In Bible times, reapers carried baskets on their backs to collect the harvest from the fields. They had to ensure that their baskets were strong and sturdy, so that what they collected would not fall out. The women of that day used kneading bowls to knead dough for making bread. If they used poor-quality bowls which broke easily, they would not be able to make bread. So baskets and kneading bowls in those days represented the means by which one got his tangible blessings. Beloved, your Father in heaven does not want you to worry about the means by which you get your blessings. Because of the sacrifice of Christ, He says to you, “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.” This means that if you are a cab driver, your cab will not break down on your rounds because God says to you, “Blessed shall be your cab.” If you are a businessman,...

welcome to my blog

Oh the waterfall of cleansing Grace! Welcome to my Grace blog.  I hope to both share and start a dialogue about Jesus Christ and how his life, relationships and teaching have a practical working value in our everyday lives. To go beyond our belief of Jesus... and into our belief in Jesus. I hope we can learn more about how the finished work of Christ on the cross empowers his work in us in our daily lives. I hope we can grow in His Grace and Wisdom! The name came from a Joseph Prince story in his book  "Destined to Reign"...here's the story: Prince tells the story of a young boy who found a rock out in the woods. Though it looked rough at first, he rinsed it in the small waterfall of a nearby stream. Turns out, the rock was marbly, smooth, and full of color. Not wanting to lose the rock, and afraid someone would take it from him if he took it home, he buried it back in the dirt in a tucked away place before he went home for the night. There, he left it. The ne...
