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.

Introduction

Two erroneous teachings about salvation:

  • Giving false assumption about salvation
  • Justify salvation by one’s merits

 

Verse to Read: <1 Thessalonians 1:2-3>

Evidences of inner attributes:

  1. Faith ⟹ Works
  2. Love ⟹ Labor
  3. Hope ⟹ Endurance

 

Verses to Read: <1 Thessalonians 1:4-10>

Your assurance that you are loved and chosen in Christ stems from:

  • The gospel came to you with power
  • You became imitators of us and of the Lord
  • You became a model to all the believers
  • You turn to God from idols and wait for His coming Son

 

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
<Romans 8:30>

 

Reflection

1. Have you been taught the right doctrine of election before in the past? If yes, how were you taught about it?

2. Do you have the evidence of one that is being loved and chosen in Christ?
