“My soul, wait you only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.” "8. Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.”
When you pray can you pray with David “my expectation is from Him”? What do you expect God to do in answer to your prayers? Give some thought to this question as you read this article. When you ask God to forgive you for your sins, do you really believe that He hears you and will actually forgive you? God’s forgiveness is a precious promise to us from the Bible and we need to receive it as gospel. Do you believe that He will forgive you for the worst sin that you have committed? If you come to Him in repentance for sin, God will hear and He will forgive you. If He forgave David, He will forgive you. 1 John 1:9 is still true: “If we confess our sins, He (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” You can take that as gospel truth. Jesus died on the cross to make it possible. When you ask for Christ’s presence in your life, do you really believe that He is with you in every aspect of your life? Hebrews 13:5 gives us this promise: “Let your conversation/conduct we without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for He has said, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” When you pray, you know that Jesus is with you, listening to, and answering, your prayer. Christ’s presence in our lives gives us full assurance, and helps us to watch how we live in His presence. When you ask Jesus to make you His witness to the world by the way you live, do you really believe it? He has empowered us to be His witnesses, and we can believe that He will use our lives to be His witness. People will hear our words, if they see them lived out in our lives. Do you believe that when you ask Him, the Lord will make your life a witness at the places where you work, play, shop, and etc.? Believe that the Lord will use your life as surely as He used the apostles in the New Testament. Pray, today, for your life to reflect Jesus to the world. What prayer request do you have on your heart today? Are you praying for a friend? Are you praying for a brother or sister? Are you praying for an illness that you are experiencing? There is no end to prayer requests. When you pray, expect God to answer you according to His will, and to bless your life with His answer! Bro. Joe
