Prayer Basics-Wrestling With God

Prayer Basics-Wrestling With God

Wrestle and Get Pinned

If you think of wrestling in human terms, you’ve gotta expect God to pin you to the mat, right?

Surely that isn’t “Wrestling With God,” is it?

Compare two Biblical wrestlers. One did good, the other did not.

In my short video I’ll talk about Jacob wrestling all night and someone else who wrestled at night.

CLICK BELOW and watch the short video on WRESTLING WITH GOD.

The Video’s Points:

Had you ever considered that Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane was an example of “Wrestling with God?”

  1. Two biblical wrestlers.
  2. One was unchanged, the Other was greatly changed.
  3. How did Jesus change?
  4. He submitted to God.

It ain’t rocket science, is it?

In my book below is ANOTHER WRESTLER, Epaphras by name (from Colossians 4:12). He trains his nephew, Thales, one of the prayer heroes.

Prayer Basics-Intimacy With God

Prayer Basics-Intimacy With God

Does Intimacy With God Make Sense?

In Dr. Charles F. Stanley’s Life Principles Bible, his very first life principle is:

  • Intimacy with God, His highest priority for your life, determines the impact of your life.

In my short video I’ll talk about hindrances to intimacy, and give you a vivid picture of why you can trust Him.

CLICK BELOW and watch the short video on INTIMACY WITH GOD.

The Video’s Points:

Sometimes the Pictures YouTube grabs are just embarrassing!

  1. After 50 years of ministry, Dr. Charles F. Stanley makes “Intimacy with God,” preeminent.
  2. People are lukewarm because they do not communicate with Him.
  3. And they do not communicate with Him because they do not trust Him.

Did you like that visual?

Thousands of angels are worshiping God, calling out His name,and what does he do?

He inclines His ear to listen TO YOU!

How amazing is that?

Prayer Basics-Knowing God’s Will

Prayer Basics-Knowing God’s Will

Can You Know God’s Will?

If 1 John 5:14-15 are correct, if the Holy Spirit didn’t make a mistake thru John, then yes, not only can you know God’s will, but that knowledge will allow you to pray:

  1. With a CONFIDENCE unlike any you have ever had, and;
  2. You will know that you ALREADY have the petition you are asking of Him.

In my short video I’ll talk about how you can know God’s will.

CLICK BELOW and watch the short video on KNOWING GOD’S WILL.

The Video’s Points:

  1. Everyone can know God’s will.
  2. Ephesians 5:17 and Romans 12:2 are only A FEW of the many verses that make clear we are to know God’s will.
  3. Seek Him and He will let Himself be found.

There is a key point that I did not make in the video and should have. Let me say it this way:

If you hear from the spirit, and what you heard contradicts the Word of God, you DID NOT hear from the Holy Spirit.

Seek God for His will, He wants you to know it!

After all, the Holy Spirit didn’t make a mistake!

Or did He?

Prayer Basics-Fasting

Prayer Basics-Fasting

Donuts and a Grumpy Deacon

I don’t want to overwhelm you with the theology of fasting. It is sufficient to remind you that scripture says, “When You Fast, NOT If You Fast.”

In my short video I’ll talk about 2 dozen donuts and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Below the video I have a short story about, Bill, a GRUMPY deacon.

If you haven’t alread done so, CLICK BELOW for the short video on FASTING.

The Video’s Points:

  1. Everyone can fast (confirm with your doctor first).
  2. Consider your length of fast.
  3. Watch as you become more sensitized to the Holy Spirit.

Not all of you are comfortable fasting. That’s completely understandable.

A Grumpy Deacon

I’ll never forget, Bill, a pastor/deacon.

We were at a large, multi-day denominational event where I was holding a fast during the lunch hour. I said, “Bill, (not his real name) come to our ‘fasting-luncheon’ today.”

He responded, “Oh, no, no, no. I have to eat!” And then he looked at the words that snuck out of his mouth and spent the next 30 minutes trying to reel them back in.

Too late! He’s a sermon illustration!

If you’re hoping I’ll be real profound and convince you to fast, that ain’t gonna happen.

Try fasting, you’ll like it. You will, I promise.

 

Blessings,

Billy Graham Entered Heaven Today

Billy Graham Entered Heaven Today

The Tragic Johnstown Flood

I’m finishing up a book on The Tragic Johnstown Flood. It occurred in 1889 and there were over 2200 people that died. It is considered the worst tragedy on US soil until 911.

The goal of the book I am completing is To Show God IN THE MIDST of Tragedy.

We often hear two disparate sides to tragedies:

  1. The Graphic Details, and
  2. The God Talk.

This book combines the two in a completely unique way. An angel, Hael (from my first novel, The Pray-ers), is giving the backstory behind many of the folks that had to deal with the Johnstown flood, Hael gives their stories before the flood, during the flood, after the flood, and many, at their actual death.

The Segue

When the Guardian Angel, Hael talks about those that die, he doesn’t end his narrative at their death, he talks about their meetings in heaven.

And yes, that is not a typo, I DID, on purpose, type in, “their meetings,” plural.

Hael talks about people waiting in heaven for the one who has just died, so that they can welcome him or her.

Line of people

Can you imagine the line of people waiting to welcome Billy Graham into heaven today?


Remembering Billy Graham

Years ago, a wonderful song was sung live by a musician who has now fallen out of favor because of his lifestyle choices. Don’t be distracted by that. On my YouTube channel, I have this video pegged in my Favorite Christian Music.

The makers of the video have marvelously uplifted Billy Graham’s life.

Let this great video encourage your life, as you remember Billy Graham.

Blessing,
