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.

You Have The Victory!

 Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.  If God’s Word says that we are more than conquerors through Christ, then we are. We are not going to become, we already are. We may be experiencing some failures or setbacks in life right now, but only good will come out of our situations because God says that “in all these things we are more than conquerors”. We have the victory! You see, God has placed us in Christ, whom He has exalted to the highest place in the universe. We are not trying to get to victory ground. We are already on victory ground. We don’t confess God’s Word to get victory. We confess His Word because we already have the victory. We don’t fight for victory. We fight from victory.  The devil will try to steal our victory. He will come against us with lies and fears, and cause us to be conscious of our failures, weaknesses and symptoms in areas such as our health. But we are not trying to be healed...

The God to Whom We Pray

Nehemiah 1:1-11 Nehemiah demonstrates power in prayer. As a servant to King Artaxerxes of Persia, he had no right to request leave to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls, much less to requisition materials and protection. Yet knowing the nature of the God he served, Nehemiah did not hesitate to act boldly and ask the king for what was needed.  His prayer began, “I beseech You, O lord God of heaven” (Neh. 1:5). Lord, when it appears in all capital letters, denotes the word Jehovah (a form of Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God). It means “God who is eternal in His being”—conveying that everything everywhere is in His presence. So, when God makes a promise, He knows how He will keep it. That is why Nehemiah called Him “the awesome God who preserves the covenant.” He knew God was committed to bringing repentant Israelites back to their homeland to dwell in His presence (Neh. 1:9). Another Hebrew name used to refer to God, Elohim, is translated “He who is absolutely sovereign.” If He...

Hold Fast What Is Good

1 THESSALONIANS 5:21  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.  Sometimes things that should be obvious to us are not. Like, if what you are doing is not working out, it would be wise to consider a change. Too many people are not receiving the blessings God's Word promises, things the Bible says God desires us to have. But instead of considering changing things in their life, too often people fall into the temptation of blaming God and thinking He is holding out on them.  But that is never true! There is never any fault or problem with God. PSALM 84:11 KJV 11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.  If you are acting on the Word and planting good seeds, don't let the devil discourage you and cause you to give up too soon. But if the course of your life is going the wrong direction, and it is not getting better over time, then it would be wise to consi...
