prayer and sin

Not only does sin hinder prayer; prayer hinders sin. The two are always opposed. The more careless ewe are about sin, the less we will pray. The more we pray, the less careless we will be about sin. Both sin and prayer are powerful forces. Which one is moving you???

--Dr. Alvin Vander Griend--

Understanding

I recently heard a teaching on UNDERSTANDING. Understand means to grasp something BUT ALSO to grasp the value of it. So many times when we read something in the word we think we "understand" it but we don't place a value on it therefore it doesn't impact our lives. It doesn't become revelation knowledge. It's not real to us and if it isn't real and if it doesn't change our lives then we can be talked out of it. This really hit me because so many times i quote the Word of God because it's the word but I don't place a value on it. Like when I confess that "My God will meet all MY needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus" I meant it at first but then it became a tradition to say it. Meaning I wasn't placing a value on those words and I was repeating them because maybe it worked at one time for me or it worked for someone else at one time but I wasn't being lead by the Lord to quote that in my life everyday so it lost it's value to be. It was real in my life.

So many times we hear different things like Sister Pam quoted Isaiah 53:5 "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed" and she quoted it for a week straight and she got healed of back problems and knee problems. If it worked for her I'm going to try it. But were you lead by the Lord to do that? Maybe the Lord is directing you to do something else like go to a healing service coming up. But you're to busy following a "tradition" instead of listening for the direction of the Lord. This is something that I have done quite a few times but I'm learning now that we have to seek the Lord and get a NOW direction for out lives. Not what has worked for someone else but what the Lord wants for your life at this time.

I hope this makes sense I have sooo many thoughts running through my head. If you have any thoughts or questions please comment. =]

Worry

Worry doesn't empty tomorrow of its trouble, it only empties today of its joy

Somebody is waiting on the other side of your obedience.

Practice what you Preach =]

There are soooo many messages that I've heard about this. Practice what you preach. Be a doer. And for sooo long my attitude was yea yea I know... but recently the Lord has been holding me to the things I speak more then ever.

My church has been starting new bible studies and few have been showing up. I realized that so many people clock in and clock out on Sundays and Wednesdays. And when they come on sundays and wednesdays they are looking for the "fix" with the Lord. "Lord give me strength, give me peace, give me patient...etc"

I think when you are a baby christian this is ok because you don't know any better, but as someone who has grown up in church and known the Lord since I was little, that doesn't fly for me anymore. When I go to church it is to add on to my time spent with the Lord. It's to add to my knowledge of the word, not to keep me filled up the next bible study. We can't live from bible study to bible study. We have to build our relationship with the Lord everyday, we have to live it everyday. We can't be on fire for the Lord on Sunday and living like an atheist by Monday. This is something that I haven't completely conquered. There are times when I'm running on empty, but I'm trying to change my life and stop letting my laziness rule my life.

I think that it is a daily thing we have to do. CHOOSE to serve whether you feel like it or not. CHOOSE to get in the Word. CHOOSE to pray for others. CHOOSE to live what you preach.
