PRAY FOR……BOLDNESS

Thursday, July 28th, 2016

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 KJV)

The one True God of Heaven is merciful, loving, compassionate and accessible. He always was, is and will be to those who are called by His Name unto His special purposes.  Access to God is free and open 24/7, with the usual qualifier – you must be born-again. The very fact that the majority of western Christian are unaware of the access and authority we have as believers, testifies to weak church leadership. This does not change the facts on the ground.

John 1:12 informs directly that But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name”. In other words, when we believe, we receive. In addition, we not only receive but He gives us the right, the power, the dynamic authority to approach Him. On top of all of this, the Holy Spirit Who abides in those who believe and receive, shows us how to pray and interprets our weak words before sending them to  Heaven.  Therefore, we above all, have the authority to pray for boldness in our prayers and daily lives and in all we do. Hebrews 4:16 encourages the following:
–  We must be aware of our position, as Children of God. So now it is simple -come on in. This involves us being proactive in prayer. Reject passivity as most believers do, and just do something – walk forward. Brief and to the point…..

FAITH IS…..

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011
Faith means many things, to many people.
We can have full faith and confidence in United States currency!
We can have faith in the United States military to protect and serve!
We can have faith in our fellow man to do the right thing!
We can have faith our governments are really looking out for the people!
We can have faith our children will grow up have a better life than we do!
All of these things are good to believe in or about, but he who puts his trust and complete faith in mortal man and his institutions is headed for disappointment!Can we really say all these things with the confidence – that “it will be so”?  The word confidence means something. Confidence is derived from two Latin words (like most English words). Con means “with” andfidence is from the Latin “fide” or Faith. Therefore “confidence” means we are operating with Faith!
When we think of Faith, we, who are called by His Name, think of the Lord Jesus Christ! Hebrews 11: 1-2 (AMP) says ” NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. For by [faith–trust and holy fervor born of faith] the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report”.
