MY FRIENDS “REJOICE ALWAYS, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, AND IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS”
“And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. THE EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER of a righteous man [or woman] avails much.
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.” James 5:15-18 (NKJV) EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER; those three words tell us that a Child of God must have a passion about what we are petitioning God for.
There must be a passion of hope that a family member or friend will be healed when we lay prostrate before the great physician and say Lord not my will but thou will be done. A passion of faith that your son or daughter will find the Lord one day as the tears runs down our cheeks and we say, oh the Great I Am, it was your promises, not the child psychiatrists that I believed when you said. “Train up a child in the way of the Lord and He will not depart,” Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
My God it was your promises, not the banker that I believed, if “I “Bring the whole tithe into [your] storehouse, that there [will] be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”Mal. 3:10 (KJV)
It was you God, not the pastor who I believed when you said “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked 
ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chr.7:14 (KJV) My God it was you, not the marriage counselor that promised me “Love never gives up, never loses faith, it is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” 1 Corinthians 13:7
My friends, is God listening as you tell Him, my FERVENT PRAYERS are just not EFFECTIVE. But, as we each seek our partitions from God their must be a personal relationship and a passion of understanding in each situation and circumstances of our life, weather good or bad. In addition, we must still “REJOICE ALWAYS, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING, [AND] IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS; FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS” James 5:16-16 (NKJV)
As you study the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation, and you cry out to the Rabbi All Scripture breathed out by you God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man [or woman]of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. 2Tim 3:16-17(JKV)
My friends, that text tells us Our God is preparing [us] for something [we] cannot handle right now He’s making [us] ready [and competent] Just because He cares He’s providing [us] with what [we] need To carry out the next matter in [our] life (Daryl Coley)
For “the Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)
As we look at the world today and the love of the world is growing cold” nothing can be about us anymore, we must cry out to God daily, please, give me the passion as a vessel “ïn such a time as this,” as that passion gives each of us the will, and the desire, to spread the good news of the gospel to all as we cry out once again “Lord Jesus, come quickly, please come soon.” while magnifing His name.
In addition, all we do in God’s name, will bring glory and honor to our Saviors, as we pray, I know I was “bought with a price: So every day of my life I will glorify You in my body, and in my spirit, which are Yours” 1 Corinthians 6:20 (NKJV)
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
