Questioning God?

I recently read that the Bible contains something like 3,294 questions. As a born question-asker myself, the idea intrigued me. So I decided to go on a lookout for questions in God's Word. Today, on Day One of my experiment, my regular Bible reading took me to Numbers 11, where Moses whines to God about the Israelites' whining. I was fascinated to see that his complaint mainly took the form of questions. Lots of them, in rapid-fire succession. In The Message version, there were seven. In…

Are we ready to listen?

One of my favorite quotes about communication comes from a book by Norm Wright and goes something like this...

"I know you think you heard what I said, but I don't think you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Being a family of eight we have more than our fair share of miscommunication. No matter how hard we try it seems to happen daily. Most of the time it's because we are much more concerned with being heard than being ready to listen. If we're honest we'll… Continue

Praying for Your Circumstances

Over the years the Lord has shown me some things that have helped me when praying for my circumstances and situations. There have been three major changes in the way I now pray. What I am about to share with you, when put into practice, will help you to be successful in your prayer life. These principles can be applied to any circumstance that you are facing. I am going to share with you the first major change in my prayer life.

Several years ago, while sitting in my sister’s…

It's Not About You. Take the Tour. Do One Thing.

"It's not about you." Borrowing from the words of Rick Warren, I couldn't think of a better motivation on why you should check out the Take the Tour page on the Pray! Network and do at least one thing there if you haven't already done so.

National Day of Prayer

Lots of consternation around National Day of Prayer. Franklin Graham disinvited. Judge rules NDP unconstitutional. Local permit request refused ...

Let's not forget, we are admonished to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests" (Ephesians 2:6) whether the government likes it, permits it, promotes it on their Congressional calendar or not.

Dedicated to my sister Barbara on Earth Day 2010

Open our eyes to behold thy gracious hand in all thy works…

Love (and pray) for Enemies?

...everything changes when Christians get power. When Jesus said "Love your enemies,"

he was talking to people who didn't have a whole lot of choice in the

matter. Sure, they could rebel (and they did), but it was always

short-lived and futile in the wake of Roman retribution. American

Christians today stand in a very different situation than did Jesus or

Paul.

Power changes love, somehow seducing it by reminding us what we have to lose. And when love has… Continue

O God, you declare your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity…

All of us have had periods in our lives when it has seemed to us that this ascertain was not true. “What’s going on here?” we angrily ask ourselves or someone close to us. “Why am I being singled out for suffering and…

National Day of Prayer Shot Down in Court

A Wisconsin judge has ruled that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional under the provisions of the First Amendment. Shirley Dobson and the National Day of Prayer Task Force is urging praying Christians to sign a petition to President Obama, asking him to appeal this decision, and to pray for this historic day of prayer for the nation to be preserved as one of our basic freedoms. For more information, go to:… Continue

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Psalm 150:6

When the psalmist wrote this, he was thinking of a liturgical setting: harps, drums, timbrels, singers, everyone in his or her own way offering the best there was to the glory of God. The best every—artist knows what that is. The feeling of having stretched as far as you can stretch. The happy exhaustion of having given it your all. The arts…

Prayer prompts

Several years ago when God began calling me to increase my prayers, I struggled to know how or what to pray. I have found the prayer prompts definitely help. I wanted to go beyond just "bless me and give

me"

Having come from a non-liturgical church background, we scorned the use of prayer books and written prayers. Not spontaneous. It ounded weird use prayer prompts,

But I found that I never had the same feelings about from conversation prompts I found in books or with… Continue

God commands us to pray

God already knows our needs. He knows our hearts. He knows the outcome, but He still commands us to pray. Once or twice I have been awakened with a really strong impression, "Pray for this person.' So strong a message that I pray. I do not know 'why' I prayed sometimes, but the impression was so strong that I did.

Others have the same experience as in the following testimony my daughter shared with me.

The single woman who had her own business assessing properties felt the… Continue

Not Daniel but Jonah

I am impressed with Daniel's praying three times a day, faithfully, regularly, even if it meant punishment. I want to be like that, but mostly the last few months I act more like Jonah. God wants me to pray, to set aside time to pray instead of filling up with food, activities or entertainment, and I find a lot of ways to head for Ninevah.

This morning I decided my life's prayer title should be "Just when I thought I would dare to be a Daniel, but I jumped a ship like Jonah." Instead of… Continue

Anna Luke 1

I believe in Anna as a type of the Holy Spirit in prayer and dialoge for the appearing of Messiah as a babe. She prayed for 60 years and actually saw the baby Jesus in the flesh. To see more of my revelation and art on this amazing woman a.k.a. Holy Spirit, go to my blogspot annaakaholyspirit.blogspot.com Also see

adonai-eloheinu.blogspot.com for more art and insigt/journals in the place of prayer.
