Prayer

Postby Destroyer2000 » Fri Jun 17, 2005 6:31 am

Pray for me, please. I am going on a trip to visit my dads in Florida for a week, and also, pray that I stay stronger in my faith. I am slipping a bit in it.

Remember you have to make an effort yourself to stay strong in your faith. God doesn't force us, we have to open our hearts to hear His words. I all comes down to Free Will. People praying does help but this relationship is meant to be between you and God so its more spiritually personal than anything. Anyway, hope you have a good time in Florida. I'll be praying for you.

God's Blessings!

I think this might help you with the falling away from God...

"We live to the Lord." ~ ROMANS 14:8

If God had willed it, each of us might have entered heaven at the moment of conversion. It was not absolutely necessary for our preparation for immortality that we should linger here. It is possible for a man to be taken to heaven and to be found fit to partake in the inheritance of the saints in light, even though he has only just believed in Jesus. It is true that our sanctification is a long and continued process, and we shall not be perfected until we lay aside our bodies and enter within the veil; but nevertheless, if the Lord had wanted to, He could have changed us from imperfection to perfection and have taken us to heaven at once. Why then are we here? Would God keep His children out of paradise a single moment longer than was necessary? Why is the army of the living God still on the battlefield when one charge might give them the victory? Why are His children still wandering here and there through a maze when a single word from His lips would bring them into the center of their hopes in heaven? The answer is—they are here that they may “live to the Lordâ€
Live your life, love the Lord, and don't forget to laugh...

You're NOT gonna backslit!

Here's two of my favourite scriptures to help you (these ones really boosted my faith when I was afraid of not being faithful enough.):
Luke 17:6

6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
ASV

Matt 21:21-22

21 So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain , 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. 22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
NKJV



And God said to give you these too:

Rom 10:8-9

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith , which we preach:

9 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus (as) Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
ASV


Rom 11:20-21

20 Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith . Be not highminded, but fear:

21 for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
ASV

Rom 14:22-23

22 The faith which thou hast, have thou to thyself before God. Happy is he that judgeth not himself in that which he approveth.

23 But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because (he eateth) not of faith ; and whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
ASV



I don't know for which reason though...
