Three Keys To Answered Prayer
And I say to you ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you (Luke 11:9). Prayer is an essential part of our relationship with God. Yet, too often we neglect this vital bridge of communication with heaven. In many cases, we don't pray because we don't know exactly how to pray -- or how often. Jesus' disciples clearly saw the effect that prayer had in His life. He spent large amounts of time in prayer, often by Himself. The
Doing What God is Blessing
David could have gone to the Lord and said, "I'm planning to go after the Amalekites. I pray you will bless MY plan." But that's not what David did, and I believe this is a key to his success. He inquired of the Lord and ASKED, "Should I chase after this band of raiders?" Then he waited for the Lord to answer his question. Many times we ask God to "bless what we're doing," and that is a good and important prayer. But the best thing is to seek God's plan in your prayers so tha
Relationship with God - Task From God
You and I were created to have a relationship and to worship God. But we were also created to fulfill a certain role or task in the Kingdom of God. We see this in the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus taught his disciples: “Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored.” Relationship. But he went on to teach them: “May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done here on earth, just as it is in heaven.” Task. (Matthew 6:9-10, NLT) We see the balance between relationship

Joy ... In His Presence
It was a major time of transition in my life, and things didn’t appear to be working out. I was working for a ministry, but was having a hard time making ends meet. I was getting by month-to-month, but just barely. I was having a hard time maintaining my joy. I grew up in a Christian family and learned at an early age that joy was not dependent on circumstances. “Joy,” I was taught in Christian school, “came from having your priorities straight: Jesus, Others, then You (J.O.Y

Doing What God Is Blessing
The Bible tells us that when he was confronted with an enemy or an obstacle, again and again King David would "inquire of the Lord." In 1 Samuel 30, we see that while David and his mighty men were off on a raid, the Amalekites came into their camp and carried off all the women and children. The Bible says that David faced danger from his own men who were distraught by this tragedy. David was now in great danger because all his men were very bitter about losing their sons and
Psalms, Hymns and Negro Spiritual Songs: Harry T. Burleigh and the Birth of American Music
Praise is one of the most powerful weapons available to the believer – yet it is often misunderstood or completely ignored as a path to victory in spiritual battle. The Apostle Paul writes: …be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. (Eph. 5:18b-19, NLT) It was the spiritual song – or Negro Spiritual – that gave hope to American slaves as they cried out to God, asking him to send
Pay-ers, Pray-ers, and Play-ers
There was a time in Christianity when there was a clear divide between the professional clergy and the laity -- the priests and the people. The prevailing paradigm was that the people gave their money in the offering on Sunday, and then the talented and God-ordained ministers did the work of preaching the Gospel. Of course, this idea was utterly unbiblical. The New Testament makes it clear that we are all ministers before God: But you are a chosen generation, a royal priestho
