A look into a life being changed by Christ

The Lonley Road

The lonely road winds through every soul… 

 

Sometimes by choice is why they walk alone… 

 

Thoughts of sorrow… 

 

Feelings of fear… 

 

Follow the hearts of those who travel here… 

 

On the lonely road. 

 

God only knows a sad saint's heart…. 

 

It's never too late to believe and let God make a new start… 

 

On the lonely road… 

 

Walk with God on this road less traveled… 

 

On the lonely road… 

 

If hope is the only thing a sad soul can poses… 

 

Then wait on God, he will give you rest… 

 

You're never alone… 

 

On the lonely road… 

 

Many souls travel here… 

 

All are different, but shed the same tears… 

 

On the lonely road. 

 

God feels sorrow… 

 

For us who travel here…

 

His grace embraces those who draw near… 

 

On the lonely road… 

 

Our wisdom is a gift from God… 

 

That we pass on to our brethren who try too hard… 

 

On the lonely road… 

 

Listen well… 

 

And perhaps

 

You won't have to walk…

 

On the lonely road.

A definition of Prayer...you know how?...my friends pray until you have prayed. ( a revised-improved) repost

Your comments are welcome; however, they will not post immediately. I have to screen them first before they are posted. Please leave your comments if you wish.

This subject of PRAYER has been on my mind lately.   I feel a burden make this my blog this to you this evening.

In my walk with the Lord I have learned some eye opening things AND STILL LEARNING about prayer.  I would like to share them in this blog.

(A quick history lesson before I proceed)

When Christ the son of God 100% FLESH 100% GOD was sent from heaven to the Earth to become human flesh he endured ridicule, rejection, disbelief, ect. The list goes on for miles. He died, nailed to the cross, killed by man.  During his fleshly life the greatest hero OF ALL TIME constantly prayed to the father "God" and gave him praise. Upon his flesh death Christ took our sin upon him.  He took God's wrath of sin upon mankind with him to the grave.  From that point our sins are gone past, present, and future.  Greatest of all Christ defeated death three days later.

ALL WE NEED TO DO IS: BELIVE IN CHRIST, CONFESS OUR SINS TO CHRIST, AND REBUKE OUR SIN. 

 

Prayer is the communication done through Christ who is the advocate for us to the father "God".  Our Prayer is a constant communion with the Lord done in a myriad of ways. In other words, have the Lord on your mind at all times. 

Some examples:

· Give thanks for the little things within the daily routine.

· Talk to the Lord while driving, walking, ect, “without closed eyes”. ha!

· Give thanks for those cool little miracles.

· When worries cross your mind, lift a brief prayer to God.

· At tense moments ask him to strengthen you.

God wants us to rely on him and to cast our troubles upon him.

Quoting Pastor Paul Stanley: Christ has told us "take my yoke upon you, my burden is easy".  Giving your trouble to Christ doesn't mean to run to him and download your entire load.  Christ can't live our flesh life for us, but he can make the burden easier.  He can share the yoke and help you tow your burden.  Thats why he says my yoke is easy! 

We are the children of God, as a child needs his or her father, we need God! I've walked far from God in my life. Please believe me, there is nothing like being spiritually alive and speaking directly with Christ.

We should try to change up our routine prayers; an example would be the way we give pre meal thanks, ect. Doing this ensures that we are focused on the subject at hand, and it helps us to avoid it becoming a monotonous religious method.

 

If by chance this falls upon the eyes of a non-believer; or a not so sure person, confess that you believe he died for your sins and ask Jesus to remove the stench of sin from your life.  As you grow in the word and communication with the Lord you will see first hand that this is truth.

God is our friend.

Like we talk to our friends, God wants us to speak TO HIM as a friend, “with Godly respect of course”.

James

2:23

(New International Version)

23And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.

Our prayer identifies us as belonging to the Christ.

The evil one is crushed when we communicate with Christ.  We are the children of a king; our prayer identifies us as such!

We pray to intercede in other Christians lives. AGREEING IN PRAYER IS VITAL. 

Matthew, chapter: 18, verse 18 to 20.

18"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.  19"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.

Eyes closed?

I had the misconception that you had to have your eyes closed in order to speak to God, I've learned better since then. We should always try talk to God as much as possible; busy, or not. 

Eyes should be closed during quiet time, during deep meditation, and when you are in focus and reverence to the Lord to remove distractions.

This subject is ever expanding as a Christians walk through their lives. I think we all need to constantly hone or prayer activities as our life situations change.
