Calling God

Calling on the name of the Lord

Seeking God f ce Drawing near to God Crying out to the Lord

o whom do we p
To God, to the Father, to the Lord in Jesus Christs Name. ep in Je u Ch i n me bec u e He i he only way to the Father [John 14 v 6]; Christ also

walked on this earth and intercedes on our behalf because He can relate to our challenges and weaknesses as human beings [Hebrews 4 v 16]. We have fallen short of the Glory of God and His statutes. Christ also makes us worthy of all that is of God (to partake in His divine nature and be heirs to the throne- 2 Peter 1 v 4) because God cannot see sins of His children covered by the blood of Christ.

 Faith, hope, trust and confidence (Mark 11:24, James 1:6) Persistence ( Luke 18:1-7,11:5-10, 1 Thessalonians 5:17) Humility and repentance (Acts 3:19, 2 Chronicles 6:37, 7:14, 33: 12-13) Heart free from Sin ( Psalm 66:18-19, Isaiah 1:15-16, John 9:31) With a forgiving spirit ( Matthew 6:14-15, Mark 11:25) In Simplicity and Sincerity ( Matthew 6:5-8, Mark 12: 38-40) Without an element of doubt. (Matthew 21:21, James 1:5-7) Doubt emanates from our failure to rank God properly. Faith believes that He can do it; but doubt asks: Can He do it for me? Remember the Story of the Roman Officer whose highly valued servant was week [Luke 7 v 1-9]. Whatever problems we face in life, Heaven cant stop and attend to them. Let us get into a habit of believing that God can and will take care of everything happening in our lives...And that all he needs to do is to say the Word from where He is and all will be okay!

Faith Read the word of God; Believe in the smaller victories God has given you in the past and use them as guarantee that he will do it again; listen to Testimonies. Faith believes in that which we cannot see, and the result of faith is seeing that which we believe. Faith believes that it is so, because He says so, so that it can be so. Hebrews 6 v 18; Romans 8 v 26; and James 1 v 6. Hope, faith, Confidence Read the Word of God; Practice letting go (the habit of praying and letting God do the worrying). Start seeing God as a friend. There is no circumstance in your life where God will not stand with you. He understands your weaknesses, what hurts you most. He loves you! In this controversy with the

devil, you are something like a chess piece? Every move God makes is not to play along and continue in the game, but to earn Him points! Jeremiah 29 v 11; Matthew 7 v 11 and Romans 8 v 31&32.

Humility and Repentance If you humble yourself, God will lift you up in due time. Mo of u don give God what is right but what is left! And I mean what is left in every situation. M ke p e o God ou numbe one olu ion in eve p oblem ou f ce. Give Him he c edi h

due and stop the habit of trying to solve all your problems yourself and include Him only when you have failed. Isaiah 40 v 28: God gives strength to the weary to make them run and not faint. The only place God wants in your life is the one He rightfully deserves, that is, FIRST in everything. Free from Sin hi doe n me n h ou should wash yourself of your sin before coming to Him in prayer! Confess

ou in , fo if ou cove hem, ou will no p o pe ! Don wo k g in God... If ou eg d iniquity in your heart, the Lord will not listen. - Psalm 66 v 18-19 A Forgiving Spirit Hate corrodes the container in which it is contained and onto which it is poured! Matthew 6 v 14-15 Simplicity and Sincerity God knows what we want to ask from Him before we say it...Let us not be foolish, for God cannot be mocked! We are called to be honest in front of His throne for He is our friend... He was in all ways tempted like us. Start seeing God as a friend. He calls you to reason with Him because His things are reasonable. - Isaiah 1v18 Be specific, non-wavering, for He knows you more than anyone. Keep your prayers simple because many a times we complicate prayer by using unnecessary jargon and devote a large portion of our minds to fluency and impressing Him until it becomes difficult to release faith! James 1 v 6-8 Gods will Read the Word of God and find out His will in your life! The honest truth is, most of our prayers are amiss, void of knowledge and moreover, the WILL of God. Psalm 119 v 105

not indebted to man nor obliged to do as man expects...and moreover, reply our prayers the way we EXPECT!

Sometimes Immediately (Numbers 14:20, 1 Kings 17:20-21, Luke 23: 43) Sometimes more than we asked for ( 1 Kings 18: 24,36-38, Ephesians 3:20) Sometimes after a delay ( Luke 18:1-7) Sometimes different from the request ( 1 Kings 19:1-9, 2 Corinthians 12:7-9) Sometimes No ( 2 Samuel 12:15-20) Sometimes God requires our action and wants to use us in answering out prayers (Neh 4:9)
