I was in Manila once, and my son was about a year old and he had a tempeture. I prayed for about 5 hours for God to heal him. We left the next day for Hong Kong and a friend was to meet us at the airport. I asked her to pray for my son and he was instantly healed. The Holy Spirit of God was working though her. It took me ten years maybe even longer to learn all this stuff. So it is not going to be so easy to explain it in a few posts. But when we pray, we get results.
I knew almost nothing about God. When I was around 25 I started to read my Bible and I started to learn about Him. So, I have been learning about God for over 25 years now. I trust God and I believe that His Word is true. When the Bible says to delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart, I believe that. God honors His word. We have "acceptance" with Him, when we follow and honor His word.
Jesus told us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and He will provide us with what we need. So I try to do just that. I seek to be righteous before God, so I can claim the promises of God.
The Bible tells us that God will cause all things to work out for the best, for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Now for me, that means to seek to follow God's plan and purpose for me and my life. Then He will cause everything to work out for the best for me.
I know I have acceptance with God because my life continues to get better. Because things really do work out for the best for me. For those who do not walk with God, then their life goes from bad to worse. For those who walk with God, then our life just keeps getting better and better. Sometimes you do not think it would ever get any better but it does. Sometimes I do not think I could love my wife more than I do. But I know that the longer I am with her, I will continue to love her more and more. Just like I know that my life will continue to get better and better.
God continues to do a work in us, to wash and cleanse us. So we are Holy, Consecrated, Dededicated and so He is able to use us to do a good work. The more pure our heart is, the more He can do a work in us and through us.
Oh. Ok. |
