Strategic Role of Prayer

I found this on my phone and to be honest, I don’t know where it’s from. I could of written it, it could of been a lecture at a church, school, or seminar. I do know that it’s message is powerful and is something that can benefit someone out there. God Bless. PJSLB

The Strategic Role of Prayer

Luke 6:12-13

“One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:”

Where does our strategic direction come from?

Where do we receive counsel for the most important decisions that we make?

Jesus spent the night praying to God. Prayer was two-way communication for Jesus, where the Father provided a relationship in which Jesus could process his decisions and receive counsel.

Are we fully utilizing the potential of prayer to sort through our issues and receive God’s counsel and perspective?

The most important decisions leaders make concern the people with whom they will chose to surround themselves. Prayer is one of the most under-utilized resources God has given us for discernment, decision making and strategic planning.

Lord Jesus, I desire a deeper level of dependency on you through prayer. There are more strategic decisions that need your insight, direction and counsel. Thank you for the Holy Spirit and your invitation to pray.

Why is it hard to forgive?

I replay hurt and negative events always. I try to replay moments when i felt let down to remember exactly how i felt to make sure i don’t get hurt again. I want to forgive but for some reason, i find myself wanting to keep the emotions of anger in. Why do we do that?PJSLB

Jesus is Risen and I am forgiven

Matthew 28:6

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

Happy Easter to everyone out there. I pray that the day is filled with family and loved ones.

To all my family and friends in the offline world and the 3,000 plus readers online, I want to thank the lord that you are all in my life. I try to live my life in the way that Jesus said…IN HIM AND WITH LOVE. I love God and I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of the living God who was born of this earth, died and on the third day rose again from the dead in fulfillment of the scriptures. I believe that only thru Jesus, I am saved.

Unfortunately, I am human and fall short many times I believe that I am here on earth to share Gods love. If at anytime we have crossed paths and you didn’t feel Gods love, I am sorry. I am not a perfect Christian and that’s alright. God does not expect me to be perfect for only Jesus walked this earth as perfect. But on a day we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, I want to say that Jesus loves you and thru the cross and resurrection we are all forgiven. If you don’t know Christ like this, i pray that God would reveal to you his perfect love. HAPPY EASTER 2018. PJSLB

Remember Jesus is in the boat with you

Mark 4:38-40

38 Jesus was inside the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The followers went and woke him. They said, “Teacher, don’t you care about us? We are going to drown!”

39 Jesus stood up and gave a command to the wind and the water. He said, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind stopped, and the lake became calm.

40 He said to his followers, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

It’s been one of those days that i need to focus on Jesus being with me in trying times and not on people who are not around. PJSLB
