John 15:16
King James Version
16 Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you,
and ordained you,
that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask
of the Father in my name,
he may give it you.
What could be the best prayer, or prayers, in these chaotic times?
Would our prayers be answered?
What makes prayers get answered?
Here's where the HOLY SPIRIT led me today.
On the THREE best prayers for these times.
First, the prayer JESUS taught us:
Matthew 6:9-13
King James Version
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Second, a call so we may know what to do:
Psalm 143:8
King James Version
8 Cause me to hear
thy lovingkindness in the morning;
for in thee do I trust:
cause me to know the way
wherein I should walk;
for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Third, the prayer GOD delights in:
Psalm 143:10
King James Version
10 Teach me to do thy will;
for thou art my God:
thy spirit is good; lead me
into the land of uprightness.
NOTE the THREE important calls from our hearts.
This is how we must live, work, and pray, in these times:
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:"
"cause me to know the way wherein I should walk;"
"Teach me to do thy will;"
That's what perfect obedience is.
JESUS was the BEST example of that.
Philippians 2:8
King James Version
8 And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
He taught us all we need to be.
Remember, He is the Way:
John 14:6
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
And His Way is the narrow way.
Matthew 7:13-14
King James Version
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
It's how we become disciples of CHRIST.
John 13:35
King James Version
35 By this shall all men know
that ye are my disciples,
if ye have love one to another.
Matthew 16:24
King James Version
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me.
Why does these matter?
Matthew 16:25-26
King James Version
25 For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it:
and whosoever will lose his life for my sake
shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited,
if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
or what shall a man give
in exchange for his soul?
And with the LORD, is SURE victory.
Matthew 16:27
King James Version
27 For the Son of man shall come
in the glory of his Father with his angels;
and then he shall reward every man
according to his works.
Pray to know GOD's will.
Have PURE adoration of heart.
Exodus 3:4-5
King James Version
4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see,
God called unto him out of the midst of the bush,
and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither:
put off thy shoes from off thy feet,
for the place whereon thou standest
is holy ground.
It's the most important foundation of all.
Man's will, and desires, are strong.
But GOD's WORD, and WILL, remain.
Psalm 33:11
King James Version
11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
