Good
Morning!
Okay!
I am going to send you those scriptures that I promised to send.
Remember, they relate to what I talked about last week. So, you may want to
refer back to the "encouragements" for Aug. 11 & 12. If
any of you are upset with me for being "tardy" about sending them,
then now that I am sending them, I hope you will take time to look
them up and read them!
When
you "ask" the Lord for something, you need to have a scripture
to "stand on", because He says that in order to get our requests
granted, we must "ask" according to His "will". So,
if you can find a promise in the Bible that relates to your request, then you
can know that you are asking according to His "will"! This is
what gives us "confidence" that our prayers will be answered (1John
5:14 & 15).
Here
are the "scriptures" that relate to the three things I mentioned in
the August 11 encouragement (refer back to that one) ~~~~~~~
If
you have a "need" in your life....stand on Philippians 4:19
If
you need to "find" something....stand on Luke 12:2 (and read the
reference scriptures that are there).
If
you need a way out of something, or a way into something...stand on
Revelation 3:7 (this talks about God "opening" and
"shutting" doors). There are other scriptures about this, so check
your concordance.
I
could keep giving you "scriptures" to stand on from now 'till Jesus
comes back again, but I know that a lot of you already know these
"scriptures" and if you don't then I believe that once you start "seeking" (by
reading God's Word), then The Holy Spirit will "reveal" other
scriptures to you. The Bible is the most "exciting" book
that I have ever read!
Let
me add one more "scripture"~~~~~If you are praying for a
"lost" relative....then stand on Acts 16:31 which says,
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, AND your
household"! This is a "covenant" promise from
Almighty God! Just think about it.....your "household" is your
"family". So, this includes everyone that is related to
you.....your spouse, your children, your brothers and sisters, your
aunts and uncles and cousins, your nephews and nieces, your in-laws and
outlaws!
Praise
God! Somebody ought to be shouting "Halleluiah" and
"Thank you Jesus"!
