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

LET US TRUST THE PROCESS OF PRUNING

Did you ever read this verse in John 15:2 and think, "that's extreme, can't we just hold onto these extra branches that grew once and bore amazing, fruit?" I have definitely !   Then life happens! In that life, we make a decision to dig deeper in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Yet, as we do, we face obstacles (or that's what we called them) that challenged us to trust Jesus to do what He wills in our lives.  I believe this place is a milestone in the timeline of our lives. Will we continue to walk ever so close to the Lord, realizing as we do, He will prune us? Will we desire to be producers of His fruit and life flow through us? Many of us realize that this means more obstacles, cuts, bleeding, times of dormancy and simple hurt.  This is when the milestone comes; will we accept this pruning and be fruitful or just become branches that become brittle, and ragged?  A lot of questions to ponder, but I feel God wants to use each and everyone of His children in o

Thank You For Asking

(c)Daneille Gray Snowden 2022 Today, I was deeply touched in my heart when a dear friend asked how my husband was. I did not mention it first, out of the blue; she asked about something dear to my heart. This wasn't the first time as she has  asked about different matters in my life several times. May I tell you how that made me feel? It made me feel cared for, loved and set back how someone cares intensely about me and my life. How often do you personally experience such care and interest from others? And, as I ask myself this too; how often do we reach out and ask others how they are? When people as a whole reach out in such a way, we see the creation power of God as hearts are connected to one another and a strong foundation is beginning to be built for a lasting relationship.  I love it when I hear conversations in church  or in my home when I  listen to their questions of wanting to learn of others situations, experiences, needs and even joys. The questioner is totally focused
