How Often Should One Pray

Reflect Jesus Christ

When you are in the Throne Room and have not asked this one thing, you need to stop here and ask God to show you your sins as He sees them. When He shows you, it should break your heart. All pride should be broken too. This is hard to do. I would prefer just to skip this part. To be broken is necessary for you to become poor in spirit. In Matthew 6:3 it says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” One needs to feel totally unworthy before God. It is here that we become what is in verse 5. “Blessed are the gentle (meek). This means your attitude is under control. You can do this and be confident to go before God. Just know that God is a good God and His Spirit has lead you this far. This is your confidence. Study this chapter. This chapter are principles of God to us.

How many times a day should we pray. I would suggest 3 times a day as Daniel. (Daniel 6:3)

Early morning prayer is wonderful, that is if you don’t fall asleep. A Jewish belief is that God visits (wanders) the earth from midnight to 6:00am. Now I don’t know the time zone. (LOL) I would assume on Israel’s time. Also some say if you wake up at 3:00am that it is God wanting to speak to you. Now I don’t know if these things are true but I do wake up sometimes at three. I do feel that a morning prayer is good so you can pray about the day and get instructions and leading for the day. Also some say that your first thoughts when you wake are things that God has counselled you while you were sleeping. (Job 33:16) I know some of these things are not found in scripture but you might put these things in your hip pocket and draw them out to ponder on if things happen to you.. Remember though, this is my life time with God. Your life and relationship with God will be unique to you. Jesus did not heal the blind the same way. every time. Why, because then people would worship the method instead of Jesus

A noon prayer is important, At noon you know more about your day and we know more about our path for that day. At this time you will probably need further instructions,

Now for the evening prayer. Important is an understatement. It is the evening prayer time where you come in from the field. You need to be inspected by your Shepherd. He needs to use His rod and His staff. His rod and staff use to scare me because I thought it might be some kind of punishment. No, it is far from it. At the end of the day, a shepherd would hold his rod low at the entrance to a fold. Every sheep had to pass under his rod. By this means the shepherd could examine each to see if it had any wounds needing attention. You need to pass under the rod and allow God to examine you. You need to allow Him to look at your wounds made by the world and wounds made by your sins. It is under this rod that your healing takes place. Read Psalm 23:4 which says “Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.” They bring comfort to the one that approaches God in a worth manner. In the evening, when you have come into the sheep fold you can have a restful sleep for you know that the Shepard Himself has inspected your wounds and healed them. Jesus stands at the gate guarding you as you sleep.

Also God will use His staff to pull you back onto His path. Cherished friends, He loves us so much. Who else would give their all for sinful people.

Remember that God did not create you for a time. He created you for eternity. Your life here on earth provides the opportunity to get acquainted with Him. It is the opportunity for Him to develop your character in His likeness.

Let your heart seek Him continually. This is a state of the heart that is constant. God uses your present time to mold and shape your future usefulness here on earth and in eternity.. Remembering you were created for eternity will help you in your prayer and worship time with the Lord. It will help you to walk in the spirit. Ask yourself throughout the day, “Do I feel the presence of God?” If you don’t, then go to God and wait. Pray and worship Him. Then ask yourself, “Did I feel His holiness and acceptance of my worship” He will tell you.

In closing let me say this…God does not need our worship and prayers. God is self-sufficient. Prayer is for our benefit. Because of His love, He allows us to behold His attributes. He shares them with us. Nothing surpasses being bathed and held in God’s glory.

To Be Held By The Spirit Of God

Beloved, the Holy Spirit is the key in a Christian life. God the Father, loved us so abundantly that He left us with a gift that transcends our imagination. But my Dear Ones, most of God’s children reduces the power of the Holy Spirit because we violate His sovereign will. Sin is anything that we do or don’t do out of the will of God. A lot of God’s children do not know the Holy Spirit. Now He will help a Christian when we quench Him but we reduce His power. Sometimes just by not asking Him to do something like asking Him for wisdom. It is He that fills us and brings peace to our most inward parts of our being. He is the One that takes our prayers to Jesus and He talks to the Father on our behalf. It is the Holy Spirit that enables us to stay and explain God’s Word, to pray without ceasing and to worship. It is the Holy Spirit that leads us in His ways. One of the most things I love about the Holy Spirit is that he leads us to The Throne Room of God.

God calls us to get alone with Him, to seek His presence, to develop a mind like His and receive His Word. This call is a Divine urge to commune with Him.

A good person to study is Moses. Moses longed for the presences of God in his life. This longing was intense in nature. I believe this determined the intensity of God’s touch on Moses life. Moses accepted the divine urge God gave Him. Many do not let this intensity grow within them. They miss being touched by God.

One thing about Moses and God’s relationship is that God caused Moses to wait before He spoke. I guess God wanted to see if Moses was serious. although God knew and it was for our benefit. This is where we fall short, myself included. If you have prayed and not met with God, then you have only made it half way…maybe. Do you leave your prayer time before you feel the presence of God? Passage after passage in the Bible tells us to wait on God. We need to have this set firmly within us to wait on the Lord and that we will not settle on anything less than a heart to heart communion with Him. It is with this attitude that God will take you to places within Him that are not met by many. One of God’s greatest desire is to take His children deeper into His heart. We are to be so interlocked with the Holy Spirit that we carry God’s presences within us so it will flow out to others.

Next I will write “To Enter The Throne Room Of God.”

Finding God Part 2

At some point God decided to create man and then a woman. God knew them before He made them. God knows the past, He knows everything in the present and all things in the future. Some say that God made man because He was lonely. That is not true. God is God and does not need anyone or anything. If He did need something, then He would no longer be God. God made man so we could enjoy Him and be bathed in His love, glory and holiness.

God knew beforehand that we would not obey Him and reject Him. Since God knows all things in the future, He knew us and loved us before He even created the Earth. God knew we would do things that He could not look upon because He is so perfect. We call that to be Holy. God is so perfect in all things which includes His perfect and vast love for each of us. God knew He would have to suffer for you and me. Now I do not understand the mind of God in that He would want to suffer for us. It’s the perfect love and God’s infinite wisdom that may come into play here, so God would have a people unto Himself.

I believe it is because of this that God expresses Himself in three ways. They are all God of the same God substance but are different in subsistence. The first of the Godhead is God the Father. The second of the Godhead is Emmanuel which means God is with us. We call Him Jesus Christ. God did this so He could reveal Himself to man and suffer and die for the bad things we have done. After Jesus died, He arose from His grave and was alive. Jesus proved He was God.

Jesus was born of a woman just like we were born. The Father of Jesus was not a human. The Father was the third person of the Godhead which is the Holy Spirit. So Jesus is fully God in a human form. This is a forever union. When Jesus went back to heaven, He sat down at the right hand of God the Father.

I would now like to talk about the third Person of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit today is to tell people or convict people that Jesus Christ died for them. God came to earth and was born of a virgin, died for the bad things we have done, that Jesus will return and set up His kingdom here on earth. The Holy Spirit will let this truth be known and each person will accept this truth or reject it and does not want to be a part of it. If the truth is accepted, then the Holy Spirit will come and dwell within a person. This happens instantaneous when a person accepts Jesus death for them.

Do you remember that I said God will give proof that He is the One True God. Do you remember that God would give you a supernatural engagement ring. If you believe these thing about Jesus Christ, God will give that supernatural engagement ring in that the Holy Spirit will come to dwell within you. This Spirit will lead you, teach you and bring the presences of God into your life. As to how much of God we feel will depend on how much we give to Christ. We are to give Ourselves completely. The world should not be able to tell where our personality ends and Jesus’s personality begins. That is our goal as a Christian.

One day Jesus will return to Earth and will reign over all. Let the Holy Spirit rule over your heart.

A Holy Silence One Special Night

The Lord Jesus blessed me with an Arabian mare whose name is Randi. This blessing was multiplied with God’s love to me. She was to have a baby. About a month before she was to foal, I began a nightly habit of going to the pasture to check on her before going to bed. After a week or so, Randi became tired of the ritual and would not allow me to touch her. So I began to check on her condition from a distance using a large flat sided flashlight. One night I deeply felt the Spirit of God. There was a Holy Silence with a full moon and a calmness there that only God can give. So I turned off the flashlight and layed it down on the ground before me. I wanted to enjoy this time to its fullest. I began to talk to the Lord. The moment became overwhelming and I cried out to God, “I wished I could kneel down before you to worship.” I have some medical problems, so kneeling was impossible. Then I sense something to my left. It was Randi. I put my arm around her neck and she helped me to lower myself to the ground to a kneeling position. Without any thought, my knees rested on the flat side of the flashlight. God had found a resting place for my knees without pebbles to give pain. Randi stayed and steadied me while I worshipped the Lord. When I finished praying, Randi raised her head so that I could stand once again. Then she walked away to another part of the pasture. Randi would not allow me to touch her again. A few weeks later, Randi foaled a palomino filly. The Lord blessed me again with the desire of my heart. I wanted a palomino filly. This Morab filly I named, Manuela, which means God is with us. For on that special night of prayer, God’s presence was undeniable with us.

A few hours after Manuela’s birth with Angelica

Who am I

Welcome to a part of my world. I love God, family, friends and God’s creation. Thank you for allowing me to share these things with each and every one of you.

I am a child of God, here on temporary assignment, disguised as a domestic engineer (which is a housewife, mother, grandmother, preparing and helping to prepare, the next generation in our family.)

I do have a number of medical problems in which Jesus gives me strength.

Oddly, part of that strength comes from a phrase found in the Bible in Ephesians 3:10. The phrase is “in order that the authorities in the heavenly places.” Who are the authorities in heaven? I believe they are angels. Angels who are with Jesus. Angels who are living with the One of perfect holiness, perfection, and love. Now angels would understand Jesus’s holiness and love but do they understand His grace and mercy? I am sure they do not understand how we can love Jesus and have never seen Him. You see, they do not have the Holy Spirit within them. It is the Holy Spirit that teaches Truth, guides and fills a person to help them become Christlike.

Please pray for me, for I hope to guide and share knowledge. I hope to receive knowledge from others in the comments. Either way, I will be under attack from those in dark places. May our hearts link together in His Love.
