I WANT TO SEE RESULTS!

                                          


     With so many catastrophies and personal hardships lately...I have found myself constantly calling on my Lord. I am so thankful that He is attentive to every heart-cry I have made.
     Like any child of God I want to see results!
     Recently, I just heard a pastor preach a simple message on prayer...as I was walking around the house working I heard him say this; "People who expect results from their prayers focuss on the promise and not on the problem."
     OUCH! God has listened to me whine time and time again. Frankly, I haven't seen too many 'results' from that either. Please don't get me wrong, the Lord is compassionate and knows we need to be broken before Him and pour out our hearts.
     I am speaking of intercessory prayer; praying for healings, provisions, salvations, deliverances and so on. I have read so many books on prayer and heard hundreds of messages-hey I have even preached some myself.
        Yet, here I am right now telling myself; "It's time to re-evaluate how I pray!"
     Praying the promise for a situation and individual, I believe will not only change them but me too.
I need a physical healing-complete....so my prayer needs to be focussed on my HEALER, His Blood, His Word being that what He says He will do.
      I know so many, don't you..who needs a healing, or provision, marriages restored, protection and how about salvation!
      Join with me in praying a prayer that will indeed get results. Praying the promises of God!

    2 Peter 1:4  "He has given us his very great and precious promises."

PROMISE SCRIPTURES:
Genesis 28:12-15 [15b] "I will not leave you UNTIL I HAVE DONE what I have PROMISED you."
Hebrews 6:12  "...imitate those who through faith & PATIENCE inherit what has been promised."
Joshua 23:14  "...not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed."
Psalms 145:13  "...The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made."
Romans 4:19-21  "...[20] Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, [21] being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised." ONE OF MY FAVORITES!
2 Corinthians 1:20  "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God."

    I like this quote: "People who expect results from their prayers focus on the promise and not on the problem." My mom does that in her prayers, and I am trying to learn from her example. Recently, my husband misplaced something that was VERY important for work. We asked for prayer from others, including my parents. After the item was found later that evening, my mom read what she had wrote in her prayer journal about this need, and at the end of the prayer was just a simple "Thankyou!" It was matter of fact in her mind that the Lord would indeed answer her prayer, and He did. Amen.

FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES

7 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS FOR CHURCHES Out of desperation creativity is birthed. I hope to add on to this post through the years. Churches love to give to dad's on Father's Day; sometimes this can be redundant and or expensive. A few short years ago we stepped out of the Evangelistic & Pioneer work to take a small church that is just great and out of the box. So, of course budget is minimal and I am 'it' when it comes to holiday decor and gifting ideas & doing them. The 4 gifts that my family and I put together are as follows:                       POPCORN/CANDY/MOVIE  We placed microwave popcorn, candy bar and a special Father's Day poem inside a popcorn bag.  FRAMED ART FROM LOCAL ARTIST/MINISTER  (Rev. Paul Gray)  MADE THIS INTO A FRAME & ADDED A PEN.                                             MINI GIFTS WRAPPED IN A HANKIE Pocket knife, Voice of the Martyrs Pendant  & candy! Al

BRINGING PEACE TO YOUR HUSBAND

   Two posts (blogs) ago I said I would continue to look at attaining true peace in our lives. [Sweet Tranquility] Then I promised you that I would continue to expound on having this peace spread through out our home beginning with ‘we’ ladies being the vessel of peace for our husbands.  As I have prayed over this, studied it in God’s Word and in other resources for quite awhile…my ending prognosis is that this study could continue for decades! Peace ; we pray for peace, it's our New Years Resolutions ...it is a salutation in most countries. Yet, everywhere we turn we only observe fruits of turmoil (opposite of peace).  In three thousand  three hundred and fifty years between 1500 B.C. and 1850 A.D. there were only 286 years spent without a war taking place on the globe somewhere. That's thirteen years of war for every year of peace. At that same period of time eight thousand peace treaties were broken.  Today;  2 million couples have used a lethal weapon on their spouses

Living the Dream

I have probably one of the most 'spiritual' face book home pages around. My friends post scriptural banners, quotes, prayer requests & praises . I usually get a great up-lift reading my face book. Recently, it seemed many were writing about 'Dreams'. One really jumped out; basically they were challenging the thought (I believe fact) dreams are every day; what we are experiencing today, which is our family, friends, experiences,work, ministry and prayer times. I have always been a dreamer since I was a little girl. When I was little I loved the Walton's-needless to  say my dream then (get this now): was to be a writer, movie star, have 7 kids and live in a big house in the country. Uh huh...yup; unrealistic; but I sure loved the Walton's. Then, when I turned 12 yrs. old at church camp the Lord called me into the Mission Field. When I turned 14 yrs. old, the Lord gave me a heart for India; and was blessed with the opportunity of going there as well.
