Praise & Prayer

 

    What brings you praise in your life?  What makes you so happy that you have to stop what you are doing to acknowledge that God has a part in it?  Do you ever see God working in your life?  Do you desire to see God in your life?  I personally want to feel His arms around me giving me comfort in the good and the bad times.

    God's love is intense.  His love is as gentle as a caress and powerful enough to make you feel fire within your soul.  He is predictable in the fact that He always keeps His word, but He is always doing the unexpected.  

    You may not have heard His actual voice, but you have heard Him talking to you.  You may not see Him in His form, but you see Him in every aspect of life.  The Holy Spirit can open your eyes to what God does in your life.  

    The Holy Spirit guides you on the path that God designed for you.  If you are obedient, then you stay away from sin.  We are all unclean from sin.  Jesus is the only way to become clean through faith and obedience.  His sacrifice and your acceptance sweeps away your sin as if it were never there.  Sin is what separates you from God.  Jesus is the only bridge to get back to Him.

    The Holy Spirit molds you after salvation by changing your heart's perspective in life.  Your prayer life is a direct correlation on what kind of relationship you have with God.  It can keep desolation away. It can bring life.  Prayer has the power to stop God's anger through appealing to Him.

    Salvation makes you Holy.  God is how that happens after you admit that you need Him.  That is worth praising God and praying ceaselessly.  Pray that you don't hold back.  Pray to be bold and not silenced.  Pray acknowledgment that you need Him.  You don't have to remain in sin.

Isaiah 64
