Effective Prayer

by Dr. Chas Brothers Many are the people I see that do not know how to effectively pray. Many prayers, rather than coming from a contrite or broken heart, come from the precepts of men rather than from God with the help of the Holy Spirit. When I was a young child of about 6 [...]

One Door Closes..Another Opens

Revelations 3:8 When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go, only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He’ll catch you when you fall, or He’ll teach you how to fly! ‘The power of one sentence! God is going to shift things around for you today and [...]

26

” While serving at a small field hospital, every two weeks I traveled through the countryside to a nearby city for supplies. This was a journey of two days and required camping overnight at the halfway point. On one of these journeys, I arrived in the city where I planned to collect money from a bank, purchase medicine and supplies, and then begin my two-day journey back to the field hospital. Upon arrival in the city, I observed two men fighting, one of whom had been seriously injured.

Prayer For Strength

Dear Father Who Strengthens Me Today, I need the promise of Your strength. I have looked ahead at my near future and what I see will take tremendous strength and a commitment I am not sure I possess.

2 Corinthians (New Testament)
2:1 - But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
2:2 - For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
2:3 - And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
2:4 - For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
2:5 - But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
2:6 - Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
2:7 - So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
2:8 - Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
2:9 - For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
2:10 - To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
2:11 - Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
2:12 - Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
2:13 - I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
2:14 - Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
2:15 - For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
2:16 - To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
2:17 - For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Matthew (New Testament)
6:1 - Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
6:2 - Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:3 - But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
6:4 - That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
6:5 - And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:6 - But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
6:7 - But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
6:8 - Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
6:9 - After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
6:10 - Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
6:11 - Give us this day our daily bread.
6:12 - And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
6:13 - And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6:14 - For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
6:15 - But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
6:16 - Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:17 - But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
6:18 - That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
6:19 - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
6:20 - But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
6:21 - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
6:22 - The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
6:23 - But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
6:25 - Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
6:26 - Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
6:27 - Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
6:28 - And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
6:29 - And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
6:30 - Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
6:31 - Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
6:32 - (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
6:34 - Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
