30 Sep Trusting And Acknowledging God First
Pastor Vincent - 24 October 2013
Pray To Receive Transcending Power
Do you like to pray? Are you always bringing your problems and heart's most concerned to God, wanting to receive answers from Him? Do you often find that the spirit remains unchanged even after praying, and you find it pointless to continue praying? Actually, we often pray with the wrong focus and according to how we feel. Man is created by God and only when we meditate on the Words that gives life that we will experience transformation in the spirit. Prayer has to start from the truth, and only when you look into the words can you receive answers in life. And a person who enjoys prayer (communion with God) is truly one who does not pray out of habits but rather, she wakes up each day realizing that she needs to pray for she needs God. This is humility - her spirit is teachable, she hears the loving voice of God and she learns to trust God and follow His guidance. Word and prayer go hand in hand, know the word and in your prayers, confirm the word until it becomes your second nature - when the word is in your sub-consciousness, you are in a state of continued prayer. Man is created by God and only when we meditate on the Words that gives life that we will experience transformation in the spirit. Prayer has to start from the truth, and only when you look into the words can you receive answers in life. And a person who enjoys prayer (communion with God) is truly one who does not pray out of habits but rather, she wakes up each day realizing that she needs to pray for she needs God. This is humility - her spirit is teachable, she hears the loving voice of God and she learns to trust God and follow His guidance. May the Lord give us breakthrough in our prayer life.

Trusting And Acknowledging God First
1. Believers will be involved in WARFARE.
1) Within and without.
2) Sometimes not for ourselves, but our loved ones.
3) Impossible to win >>> fight by FAITH.
- Not a “waiting faith”.
- Abram gave God the full credit and trust, as if he could not achieve anything on his own; BUT he also did everything he could, as if all depended upon his faithfulness (to obey God).
4) Nothing is random; even problem is fulfilment of promise.
2. A critical test: WEALTH.
1) Abram passed because he received “financial healing”.
2) No financial healing, no financial blessing.
- “Greedy Lack”.
- “Relative Lack”.
- “Wasteful Lack”.
3) Tithing
- Declaration of faith.
- Dedication of self.
- Means to fulfill gospel work.
3. “Melchizedek”: KING-PRIEST.
- Prefigures CHRIST.
- Christ: The Superior Priest.
- Won’t die, forever can intercede for us.
- Once and for all, instead of repeated sacrifices.
- Guarantor of a better covenant.
- Comes to meet us too, with bread and wine: Nourish. Comfort. Bless.
Reflection:
- Do you see yourself as actively or involuntarily engaged in spiritual warfare? Are you having a “waiting faith”, or how have you been doing your part in fighting this battle?
- How much financial healing do you think you have received? Any struggles or testimonies in this area (finances and tithing)?
- In dealing with warfare and sin, how have you seen the help of the King-Priest Jesus in your life?
