    My monthly furlough payment is late; and in addition I'm expecting a pension payment. Please pray that both will be paid soon.
  • Prayer to release Finances - In Reply on 2 Chronicles 7:14 - 3 years ago
    Dear God, I am asking for favor financially, which I quickly need. My problems with money are never-ending. If it's not one thing, then it is another problem. Please, assist me and then assist all of us who are struggling financially with too much debt and an abundance of bills to pay. All of us are struggling just to get by, but still, are not making enough. We look to You for our Help.

    I pray Lord you will send forth an angel to hasten the checks that are due to me, so I may prove my willingness to glorify You with a reputation for paying bills on time.

    I place my faith in You and no other. Help me to be at peace in the mean time. Your Word says, I will keep in perfect peace whose mind has stayed on Me.

    Thank you, God, for your blessing on us. Amen.

    Pray this till your breakthrough arrives. Pray in Ephesians 6, against invisible enemies that seek to hinder our faith in Gods promises. Your friend, Mishael

    I am always struggling with fear and doubt. I want to serve God with all my heart but I keep praying for the Holy Spirit's anointing on me. I fear having blasphemed somehow, the Holy Spirit. How do I know I have the Holy Spirit in me?

    Hi Kenneth,

    I Believe God gives the Holyspirit spirit when we are truly converted which is an act of his doing upon our trust and believe in the work of Christ on the cross.

    That same Spirit convicts us of sin,

    As we feed on the word "with faith" that same Spirit moves us different than the way we were before. It's not simply a change of mind, "IT'S A CHANGED HEART".

    This is called fruit in your life that wasn't there before.

    John 15:8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye ""BEAR"" much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

    NOTICE: YOU BEAR THE FRUIT YOU DON'T PRODUCE IT.

    We do that by being connected to the true vine. JESUS.

    John 15:1-4. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

    Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

    Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

    Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

    These verses emphasize "Virtue" by being connected!! A New Heart, The now inner Man.

    Here's what's produced by the Vine:

    Galatians 5:22-24. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

    Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

    "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."

    ( The last sentence here is perhaps the death of the old Heart. "Not Old Nature".

    by us being in Christ at his death. The new Heart and Power supplied by The Holyspirit is given by us behind baptized into his resurrection!

    ROMANS 6:1-5.

    Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

    Our evidence is that our Hope is built on a rock and that rock is Jesus Christ. if you're saved you Have the Holyspirit.

    This is your test.

    1 Corinthians 12:3 | View whole chapter

    Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Holy Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

    If we love Jesus, trust Him for the gift of salvation: our inner spirit that is born again cannot switch over and say what Jesus did on the Cross wasn't enough to save us.

    Satan is a hunter of souls. Just like in the Book of Job, if he spots a weak place in our lives, that's where he's going to attack. Job's kids partied a lot, so to be on the safe side (fear), Job made sacrifices for them. Satan saw this. He sent storms that wiped out his family. His wife accused Job. One of Satans Names is Accuser of the brethern.

    Chaos and confusion; doubts and fears are the Fruits of Satans presence. Don't forget that. We must live out Ephesians chapter 6. We have to fight back.

    No matter what else Job did, he trusted God in his heart (where the Spirit of God resides). At the end of this battle, God replaces Everything Job lost , and More.

    Go back and stay in John chapter 3, until you can stand on what Jesus is saying. 1 John chapter 1:9. Decide to cut Satan out of your thought life. That's where the real battle is fought. Reject accusations. Do what you know is good and right in Gods eyes. Not yours.

    We cannot grow up in Jesus if we do not read the Bible, and apply it to our lives. Remember Jobs doubts and fears. Sometimes it takes a 100 failures till we lock into Jesus and do what we see to do, in His Word. He is the Word.

    LISTEN to what comes out of your mouth.

    Here is some courage Kenneth!

    "If one is troubled or burdened about whether he has blasphemed the Holy Ghost, this burden indicates that he has not. One who has indeed blasphemed the Holy Spirit would not feel the conviction and drawing of the Holy Ghost.

    Such an one would experience absolutely no desire to be saved".

    The New Birth and Conversion needs to be our hope in Jesus Christ where we can understand the Holy Spirit that Jesus guides us with from within. Love to you from myself and brethren that wrote the above.
