We should not limit God. He is the same God who called into existence those things that did not exist.
There is no limit to his power and no measuring his love.
When we ask, we need to sit back and let him take control. He will do great things and different things you never thought about.
He is infinite.
Call unto me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. The Lord is his name.
Adapted from Jeremiah 33 3 and 2 b.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hast formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, a d as a watch in the night. Psalm 90 verses 2 and 4.
This is the God we serve. A God of power and of might. He was before all things the Creator. He formed everything with words of his mouth.
He is God. He can do anything.
We have only to believe and he will do it.
Compassion is at the forefront of being a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ.
When Jesus walked this earth,
He was moved with compassion for so many who came to Him for help that He helped them. He helped them and asked for nothing for Himself.
To be like Christ, we have to behave like Him, then we will be His deciples in thought, word, and deed.
Blessed is he that considers the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Psalm 41 verse 1.
Yet To Be #266
He suffered for me.
He was wounded for my transgressions, he was bruised for my iniquities: the chastisement of my peace was upon him; and with his stripes I am healed.
He suffered so I could be called a child of God therefore, God is my Father.
Go and tell my brethern…I ascend unto my Father and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Because God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved me.
And hath raised me up together, and made me sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Wherefore I am no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
We are children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ…
His suffering, death, burial, resurrection and ascension to Glory has put me in this place of favor with God.
Reference verses: Isaiah 53 verse 5, John 20 verse 17, Galatians 4 verse 7, Ephesians 2 verse 6 and Romans 8 verse 17…some articles in some verses were changed for a personal reading yet, the intent remains the same.
this portion of faith enables us to come with all boldest before His throne of grace.
“Prayer is an act that seeks to activate a rapport. A rapport is a close and harmonious relationship where people or groups concerned understand each other’s feelings or ideas and communicate well.”
How could we approach this holy and righteous God when even his name is holy and sacred?
We are nothing but as grasshoppers( Numbers 13:33) before this magnificent Being. From the richest to the poorest He is no respecter of persons “from the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores (Isaiah 1:6). His purity sees us like this. He sees our sinful nature and yet, He still loves us, wants us with Him, and wants to hear our cries.
His compassions fail not and they are renewed each morning (Lamentations 3:22), so much so we can cry and say great is His faithfulness.
This is the Creator, the Holy One who sent His only Son to bridge that gap between Him and his creatures. Jesus paved the way to God and is our intercessor(1 Timothy 2:5). We do not have to go to anyone else but him and inquire.
Jesus said, “ask anything in my name,” (John 14:14). It is beautiful to know that nothing will he withhold. But we must come to Him in faith, believing He is the rewarder of them who trust in Him. Whatever we ask in prayer believing we shall receive. ( Matthew 21:22)
It is this portion of faith that enables us to come with all boldest before His throne of grace.
A place we have no right to be but for only His love and the work at the cross we have that special unction with the Holy One. The unction is the anointing that sets us apart and whereby we can be called Children of God. (1John2:12)
A matter of praying… part 2 continues in the next post Yet To Be #120
