Just Trust God’s Goodness And Pray In The Spirit

Good morning everyone! How's your day?

Sharing another powerful truth from Ps Joseph Prince.

Be blessed and enjoy!:)

"Just Trust God’s Goodness And Pray In The Spirit"


1 Corinthians 14:14
14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

God has given us a powerful prayer gift — praying in tongues, which is not limited by distance, time or head knowledge. When you pray in tongues, you could be praying for your future or even a loved one overseas. You won’t know what you are praying unless God tells you. This is because your “understanding is unfruitful” — your mind is not involved.

“But Pastor Prince, I must know what I am praying!”

Sometimes, it is better not to know what you are praying. In 1993, I had a long season of praying in the Spirit. If I had known then everything that I was praying in tongues, I would have freaked out! For example, I would have been afraid if I had known that the Holy Spirit was saying, “Father God, in the year 2002, anoint Joseph Prince to preach six messages every week to more than 10,000 people.” That has come to pass. But back in 1993, one service was enough to tire me out!

So I thank God that I don’t know what I am praying when I pray in tongues. I simply trust His goodness and pray in tongues for everything that He has planned for me to come to pass in His perfect timing.

Beloved, don’t stop praying in tongues just because you don’t know what you are praying. You could be praying for the safety of a loved one in a life and death situation. Especially when you feel an urge to pray because you sense danger, pray! Pray until you sense a release as the burden is lifted. The Holy Spirit will know exactly what is going on, who is in danger and how to pray for deliverance. (Romans 8:27)

You may say, “Well, I can just pray in English.” You can, but your prayer will be very limited because you don’t know everything. It is better to pray in tongues because the Spirit knows all things.

My friend, you don’t belong to the natural, limited realm. You belong to God who is unlimited! So pray in tongues, and see great things happening for you and through you.

Condemning Christians?

I've read a recent stat from my Christian friend in facebook and she says...

"So many people say they are a Christian, then what comes out of their mouth is swearing
like the f word and when they got a concern in life they relax with a couple glasses of wine.
Where is Jesus in this?"


My view?
Being a Christian is not a badge telling people that "Hey, we are Christians!
We lead a perfect life, and yeaaah we are perfect!"

Being a Christian is not something that you do, or how fast you can change your bad habits or behaviour.
It's not about you enjoying a perfect life just because you think so.
It's not about you going to church on Sundays nor
about you reading the Bible everyday.
It's not about how good you are to other people or your charity.
It's not about you feeling so bad about other Christians or people.

Being a Christian is always a WORK in progress until Jesus comes.
Because if Christians are perfect, we can just brag about it and wouldn't need Jesus anymore.

Christianity is not being you putting up a good name for Jesus because of what you've done.

No. It's NOT about you or me or them...

It's about Jesus...

Jesus is my REST

If only people or even Christians would know how much they're really worth.
They'd stop looking for love in the wrong places nor associate it with temporary things.

They'd stop killing, cursing or hating each other.
Neither fear, frustrations or depression wouldn't have the power to control their mind and emotions and Life.

That is... If only.

I was once like a lost child.
A lost sheep.
I used to pretend that I was ok but on
the inside, I was struggling emotionally and mentally.

On my family's side, I really didn't feel like my parents loved me that much because I always longed for their attention.
With my friends, I always wanted to be the star.
With my career , I always wanted to be on top.
You know how the world works in your thoughts and in your mind- the rat race kind of thing...
Unconsciously I felt I was really turning into a rat. Pathetic huh?

Well, that was just me.

But

Alas,
Jesus has saved me!

Now I can shut up.
( no, not really shut up but can stop complaining about life)

This is just what i needed.

Being in Jesus is just what I needed to reign in this mad, fallen world.

Where
an Unconditional love from Jesus
who inspite of my failures and misbehaving is always there ready to say
" Come to me. My yoke is easy.
Just Rest on me"

This truth I know is hard to decipher.

Because no one have really seen God or Jesus.

Me? I take it as Faith.

And this time, I'm using my Faith for good and for the right thing and person.

It really matters.

The world once decieved me by telling me,
" Believe in yourself. Have faith in yourself"
And honestly,
I was such a fool for believing.

Well , I am a lousy keeper and the truth is
without Jesus, I can do NOTHING!

I tried too much believing in myself that it almost took me my own life out of desperation.

Yes. I failed alot of times for trying to keep on believing in myself. Tsk!

Here's what I'm going to tell you.

Believing and trusting in Jesus is easier.
There's alot of peace, rest in it
and definitely, you'd be too blessed to be stress!

God says , " Have faith in me and be at REST. "

Is it the Only One thing that we ever needed?

To have Peace and be at REST?

Amazing Grace by Elvis Presley

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,


That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Jesus Take The Wheel by Carrie Underwood

Jesus Take The Wheel with lyrics
Songwriters: James, Brett; Lindsey, Hillary; Sampson, Gordie;

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning
On a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock

And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life

I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, ooh

Christ Is The Treasure In You

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! ENJOY YOUR DAILY DOSE OF LIFE!!!



Christ Is The Treasure In You


2 Corinthians 4:7
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

The verse tells us that we have “this treasure” in earthen vessels. Who is the treasure? Christ! Who are the earthen vessels here? You and I! Thank God the treasure is in the earthen vessels.

My friend, Christ the treasure is in you. So don’t get frustrated when you see your “earthiness”. You will always be “earthen” as long as you are in your mortal body, but remember that Christ the treasure is in you.

Should you lose your cool with your spouse or children, remember that Christ in you is your patience. When I feel impatient, I don’t pray, “Lord Jesus, give me patience... now!” No, I look to Jesus and I say, “Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my patience.”

In my younger days and even when I first got married, I had a bad temper. I tried all sorts of anger management techniques, but I never got very far until I told God, “God, I am so frustrated trying to overcome my anger. I give up! I cannot. You can. I rest and depend on You.” Not too long after that, my wife commented, “You know, you have improved in the area of your temper.”

I thought about what she had said and realized that I was not even conscious of the change in me. When family members can see the patience of Christ manifesting through a naturally impatient person, God gets the glory.

Perhaps you are frustrated with your smoking and drinking habits. Or maybe you are discouraged by your feelings of jealousy, distrust, bitterness, depression and defeat. Don’t condemn yourself for being earthen. Don’t try to “cast out” your earthiness. Just realize that you have Christ the treasure in you.

The more you see that treasure in you, the more Christ’s brilliance shines forth in you. And in the midst of your earthiness, God gets the glory as you yourself are transformed from glory to glory! (2 Corinthians 3:18)

How do you deal with life's trials?

Few years back....
when I was struggling on my own with life's trials
I asked God.

Is that all there is to it?

Does life means alot of frustrations, depressions, problems, weakness or heartaches?

Strange.

How can God create such a world.

Alot of questions went on. I strongly felt there was something wrong.

Until one day, getting tired , I found Jesus.

And Jesus have told me all the answers.

That life..

... in this world has tribulations.

That's why He is there. Always ready to redeem us from it all.

And when the time comes that we acknowledge His presence,

Everything will fall into place.

Yeah.

He alone can take us to a place of REST.




Your trials , just like mine are temporary.

You have a choice.

Deal with it on your own.

Or act smart with it by

letting Jesus take over.

Which one is in your heart?
