Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation.

Prayer Warrior Watches

Be on the alert.
As we wait for Him to answer, to accept our praise, our thanksgiving, we are to watch for Him, to look to Him.
Not waiting with anxiety but remaining positive.
There should be anticipation in our eyes and our words as we talk with him.
He is our friend, our guide, our master.
Not to be commanded by us.
Not to be persuaded by well-designed words.
He is touched by the feelings of our infirmities and knows all things.
Thus, he cannot deny himself the compassion he has for his children.
Knowing this, we need to wait in simple faith and take heed.
Lest a little slumber, a little sleep our confidence begins to dwindle in quietness.
Our eyes can skip off from him.
Temptation can loom large before our sight with the lazy smile of seduction.
Without a doubt, we can slip, lose our stance and stumble headlong into the trap of the enemy.
Best to remain vigilant with our eyes fixed on Him, always alert and on the lookout knowing with all confidence and certainty, he answers all our prayers.

Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.

Prayer Warrior’s Prep

  1. Be passionate. Be all in.  James 5 verse 16 “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
  2. Not doubting but believing. James 1:6 -8 “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering (doubting). For he that wavers (doubts) is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A doubleminded man is unstable in all his ways.
  3. Eyes on our leader. Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.”
  4. Go aside alone Matthew 6:6 “When you pray enter into your closet and when you shut the door pray to your Father which is in secret.”
  5. Keep it simple. Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray use not vain repetitions.”
  6. Have confidence.  Hebrews 4:16 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
  7. Knowing He hears. 1 John 5:15 “If we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
  8. The Battle is His 1 Samuel 17:47 “And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord’s.”
  9. Know the battle cry.  1 Samuel 17:45 “I come in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of armies of Israel, whom you have defied…prepare to die.”

with power there is wisdom

We learn something new…

On the train

It is good to learn something new everyday.

With knowledge comes understanding;

Understanding is the key to power;

Power that builds self and confidence;

And that opens a door to a high tower.

A prospect bright with endless possibilities and favour.

Bursting with the awareness of knowledge.

With knowledge there is power.

And with power there is wisdom.

Whoso loves instruction loves knowledge; but he that hates reproof is brutish.

Proverbs 12 verse 1

In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.

When You have a Connection With God

In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. Isaiah 30 verse 15

Jehovah is elucidating where you can find hope and rest. If you want to armor yourself against today’s battles, try resting in Him. He is the One who supplies hope, peach, rest, and encouragement to your soul. You take your quiet time, a time by yourself with no distractions, and talk with Him. That means you pay and read his word, the Bible to hear him. Get your strength from Him as we learn and lean on Him

Hope does not exist without faith. Faith is the fuel that drives hope onward.

“For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; (Faith) and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (Hope)

Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Faith and Hope United) Mark 11 verse 23 and 24

The evidence of things not seen.

# 5 of 31 Hope and Faith

“Even in the inevitable moments when all seems hopeless, men know that without hope they cannot really live and in agonizing desperation they cry for the bread of hope.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

Waiting with baited anticipation, we believe and we trust in something good. 

The surety of hope is the firm foundation on which faith stands.

Without faith we cannot believe and without believing there is no hope. 

“Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11 verse 1

faithful companion of Confidence

The Need For Hope

colorful, Landscape Wallpapers HD / Desktop and Mobile ...

The need for hope lights a fire within our soul;

A burning desire that transports us from one moment to the next with the confidence of knowing our goal, our prize, our reward is closer still.

While hoping, we can never expire like that of Lot’s wife caught between the wish and longing.

No, for with hope we are always compelled to press onward, never looking back, always moving forward to a better place from whence we came.

In hope, our steps are made sure and safe;

Our hearts are made fat with strength and purpose so to withstand the fickleness of the mind.

Because Hope, the faithful companion of Confidence, can never fail;

Is never lonely;

Can never be contrite.

And never gives into despair.

“but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation works patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; and hope makes not ashamed.” Romans 5 verses 3 and 4
