So, we get different ideas about changing our life, but these ideas do not come to pass automatically. An idea must grow into a desire. Then as a desire grows stronger, a person makes a decision, and that’s when it gets more serious! But many people stop at this point. The thing is that you must go from a decision to some actions. A decision must turn into actions if you want to see any real changes in your life.
Prayer is relationships of love between a man and The God as we determined it earlier.
It´s nothing else but the love of God, that prompts people to pray and spend time with Him.
A desire to know Him and His will in our life is a kind of food to keep our life in prayer alive.
The only way to know His will is to come to see Him and ask Him about it. This desire keeps our life in prayer alive. We have to have such desire to be able to pray continuously.
«Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street» (Lamentations, 2:19).
This is not a routine call to ordinary prayer, but a call to cry out to God to send a revival and deliver our children and the next generation from inevitable disasters and tragedies. Every serious revival has started with people’s heartfelt cry directed to God.
We continue our discussion about how not to give up at the time of troubles and temptation. Yesterday we spoke about the necessity to know that when we are walking through the problems in our life God keeps all our situations under control having already prepared a solution for us. Today I would like to continue this topic and show you that temptations or trials are a kind of test or exam. It can either put a shame on you and take the Spirit of glory away from you or you will rejoice and get excited of the honour to pass this test.
«No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.» (1 Cor 10:13).
In order for us not to give up when dealing with hardships and challenges we must know that problems are a common thing and a part of life.
1) Входите через дверь и оставайтесь в Божьем присутствии.
Мы должны приходить перед Отцом посредством Крови Иисуса Христа.
«Итак, братия, имея дерзновение входить во святилище посредством Крови Иисуса Христа, путем новым и живым, который Он вновь открыл нам через завесу, то есть плоть Свою, и имея великого Священника над домом Божиим, да приступаем с искренним сердцем, с полною верою, кроплением очистив сердца от порочной совести, и омыв тело водою чистою». (Евреям 10:19-22).
Мы можем благодарить Бога за то, что нам открыты Его дела и Его чудеса. Мы уже сейчас можем видеть и демонстрировать дела Божьи в своей жизни.
Мы должны стать как дети, чтобы лично переживать Бога. Когда мы начинаем спорить с Богом, думая, что мы знаем и понимаем больше, чем Бог, тогда мы становимся мудрыми в своих глазах и теряем доступ к разуму и тайнам Бога.
Talking about transformation we mean changes of our point view, changes in our hearts, in our characters and our circumstances. Any changes should take place within us first. I have to allow God to change myself and my character. Jesus said:
«There is nothing from outside of the man, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the man are those that defile the man.» (Mark 7:15).
How do you react when you see obvious success and prosperity of those whom you call your brothers and sisters? Are you able to be happy along with them? If you are able to be happy seeing the success of others, then you will also experience success, – it is one of God’s spiritual laws.
