" The Effectual Fervent Prayer of a Righteous Man Avails Much "

Originally shared by Abalone Kid

PRAYER REACHES GOD INSTANTLY AND PRAYER IS ANSWERED ACCORDING TO GOD'S PERFECT WILL FOR EACH OF US.
1 John 5:
13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
And what is His Will?
The revealed will of God is that all grace is laid up in Christ, and all spiritual blessings are with him. So it is wise to come in the name of Christ, and make mention of his righteousness, and ask for his sake; to put up all petitions in faith, with fervency, in sincerity, and uprightness; with reverence, humility, and submission to the divine will, and with importunity; and God hears, even so as to answer, and grant our requests in his own time, though not always in ours; in some cases sooner, in others later, according to his infinite wisdom, and in his own way, which is always the best. (taken in part from " *John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible ")
* John Gill: He preached in the same church as C. H. Spurgeon over one hundred years earlier.

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL? BY JULIE COHICK

1st. Corinthians 15:1-7   " MOREOVER, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain (without cause). For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures;  and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:  and that HE was seen by Cephas (Peter), then of the twelve: after that, HE was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep (have died).  After that, HE was seen of James;  then of all the Apostles.

HEBREW WORD FOR TODAY - TUESDAY

Heroine...

Well, got a bit confused at first by this word until I realized it was referring to a female hero.  While I don't "idolize" man just God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, there are some women I admire greatly for standing up for what is right...no matter what the cost.  They are hard to find today but they're out there.  My "heroine" to me is my...

She was my port in the storm, my childhood advocate, but mostly she raised me in Church.  I strayed but through her love of Christ Jesus, she gave me the firm foundation on the Gospel, taught me how to please Him and though I strayed, I never forgot her words.  If NOT for her love, her acceptance of me and raising me in the faith, would the world have spit me out?  She led me to Him and I know I'll see her again.  God bless this wonderful lady who not only told me about You but showed me how to walk the talk.  God blessed me with the perfect grandma for me.  I miss her but one day...one glorious day...we'll meet again and I won't ever lose her ever.  Thank you Jesus.  Thank you for faithful grandmas that love and teach us about You.  Another great gift from you!!!
