Summary: Absolutely everything, ranging from small to large, as you make it a part of your believing prayer, gets included as you lay hold of God.”
Only God could Do That!
How many here this morning believe God can answer prayer, no matter what?
Matt. 21:21,22 MSG
21-22. But Jesus was matter-of-fact: “Yes —and if you embrace this kingdom life and don’t doubt God, you’ll not only do minor feats like I did to the fig tree, but also triumph over huge obstacles. This mountain, for instance, you’ll tell, ‘Go jump in the lake,’ and it will jump. Absolutely everything, ranging from small to large, as you make it a part of your believing prayer, gets included as you lay hold of God.”
How many here this morning believe God could and can, answer your prayers, no matter what?
Is there a hesitation in your spirit, when you hear that question asked?, there shouldn’t be!
I mean, do some of us really think that our problems and situations are harder for God to answer and work out,
Than the problems, needs, wants and desires of our neighbors!
Should we not expect, as great or greater miracles to be done in our lives, than the fantastic miracles we read about in the Bible, that Jesus did.
If we take Jesus at His Word, we should!
Well, I don’t know preacher….Jesus did some pretty amazing things….
And I would say to that…....you are more than correct with that summation,
His actions were and are amazing, His words were and are also quite amazing, wouldn’t you agree?
John 1:1-3 NKJ
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. He was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
I share this scripture with you, because I want you to realize, truly what we have been given,
Through and by our relationship with God, that we have with Jesus, our Lord and Savior!
John 14:12 NKJ
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Absolutely everything, ranging from small to large,
as you make it a part of your believing prayer, gets included as you lay hold of God.”
God wants to bless and give to His Children!
Let me say that again, with Greater Clarification….
“God…....wants…....to…....Bless…....and....Give…....to…....His Children!”
Do you believe it this morning?
You should, not only this morning, but every morning for the rest of your life!
Let me tell you, making that proclamation every morning, is the true breakfast of champions!
Forget about the wheaties, start proclaiming Gods goodness over your life on a daily basis!
And I will tell you something else too, He not only wants to Bless you….,
He is willing to go to great length’s, to do whatever it takes to make your request and desires come to fruition!
Absolutely everything, ranging from small to large,
as you make it a part of your believing prayer, gets included as you lay hold of God.”
Absolutely everything? Yes everything!
TBS. all of Gods promises, are Yes and Amen!
God is very aware of how much power His Words possess, when you proclaim them and speak them in and over your life!
He would have never had said them, if He didn’t mean them and intend on keeping them and being true to them! Praise God!!
Isaiah 55:8,9,11 HCSB
8. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not My ways.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.
9. “For as heaven is higher than earth,
so My ways are higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
11. so My word that comes from My mouth
will not return to Me empty,
but it will accomplish what I please
and will prosper in what I send it to do.”
As I was preparing this week, I was thinking about a lot of things,
Prayer request, local events, the time change coming up again, that takes place twice a year.
Altering time…....after thousands of years of trying by man, a simple law by congress,
passed just a few short years ago, made it a reality, well at least on paper anyways,
Spring forward, fall back…....I kind a like it through the summer months…....and I’m also aware that some people don’t really don’t care for it,
I thought about how novels and movies over the years, had depicted time change,
How they stopped time, or made it go back to do what was necessary in the plot of the story or movie.
