There is power in prayer


Have you ever heard that adage which says prayer works and prayer is the best weapon? Well, I heard it too. I believe in it and hold on to it because whenever I pray, the LORD answers it. I always pray every morning after waking up and in the evening before I go to bed ever since I was a kid. We were trained by our parents to pray. I pray whenever I need to and whenever I am in trouble. I also pray every time I leave the house and go on long or short trips. I pray for protection and guidance always.

The other day, while my husband and I were on our way back home from sending my stepdaughter to work, I was so hungry and I prayed to JESUS that He will let me eat something. And I told HIM that I hope I could eat some pork fried rice. Then unexpectedly, my husband asked the phone from me. So, I gave it to him. Then I heard that he ordered one large pork fried rice from the Chinese restaurant in our town. What a surprising moment. I didn't expect that the LORD would answer my prayer in an instant. I didn't tell my husband that I wanted some pork fried rice but the LORD commanded my husband to order it for me. I was so happy and I thanked the LORD for it. What a very good LORD we have who never fails to love and provide us everything that we need.

Then, after I got the pork fried rice, we headed home. The street where our home is located is not cemented and was covered with snow because it snowed the whole day. While we are on our way, our car with old tires had trouble going up the hill. Then I prayed again that the car can go up the hill and we will reach our house safe. My husband kept on maneuvering the car but it won’t go up. This happened for like ten minutes. We started to worry. So, I prayed again and again and I believed that the LORD JESUS will deliver us from that difficult situation. I applied what I learned from the Bible in Mark 11:24 which say, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” So as I prayed, I believe that we will make it home safe. And after like five minutes of prayer, the LORD JESUS answered my prayer. We made it! The car was able to go up the snowy hill and we arrived home safely. Oh, how good it is to have a loving and awesome GOD like JESUS. I will never forget that experience.

With prayer and faith in JESUS, we are always victorious. Prayer indeed is a very powerful tool in overcoming obstacles and difficulties. Know this: the LORD JESUS delivers and helps us because He is a good and loving GOD. We will just have to call Him because He is always available whenever we need help. So, we should pray without ceasing (1Thessalonians 5:17) and keep on believing and trusting Him with all our heart (Proverbs 3:5). And, every time we pray we should believe in our heart that JESUS will answer our prayers and petitions (Mark 11:24). God bless. I hope this piece will inspire all of us to believe in JESUS and his great love for us. Believe and trust that there is power in prayer and JESUS answers prayers. I love you with the love of the LORD. God bless!

What GOD likes and dislikes

While I was listening to the song "You are Holy (Prince of Peace)" by Michael W. Smith last month, I came across with the lyrics that says "You're the great I am". Upon hearing it, I forgot that the LORD is the Great "I AM" (Exodus 3:14) and I started doubting. But the LORD reminded me that it's Him and that I should not doubt Him because He dislikes a doubtful servant. So, to help you increase your knowledge of Him and know how to love Him, let me tell you the things that He likes and dislikes. Listed below are the things He likes and dislikes. 8 Things GOD likes 1. He likes us. It is said in John 3:16 that GOD loves the world. It means He loves or like us because we are His creations. He gave us His own breath for us to live. 2. He likes a cheerful giver. It is written in second 2 Corinthians 9:7 that GOD loves a cheerful giver. Therefore we should freely give and share whatever we have to our brothers and sisters that are ...

How to be happy the godly way?

Many of us try to seek happiness in our jobs, friends, family, lovers, hobbies, sex, money and material possessions. But all these don't guarantee a real and lasting happiness. Now, how do we define happiness? For me, happiness is loving JESUS and knowing that HE loves me so much that HE died on the cross just for me to be saved. It is also having the knowledge that HE walks with me every day and comforts me. It is having peace of mind and joy as I am being contented and satisfied with my present situation as well. Moreover, it is having a loving and faithful relationship with CHRIST. And, most of all it is being obedient to CHRIST. When you live an obedient life, JESUS will reveal Himself to you and accompany you. His constant presence will give you insurmountable joy. Here are four secrets to happiness that I learned through personal experience and practice: 1. Believe and Accept JESUS CHRIST as your Personal Lord and Savior. Invite JESUS to live in your heart.

What is our purpose for living?

For me, seeking our purpose in life is the greatest human longing.  Without purpose, you have no direction and you feel like there is no reason for you to continue living. I have felt that before and have searched here and there for my purpose. Fortunately, after many years of finding my purpose, I found it in the Bible. The Bible is a rich resource where we can find our real purpose and meaning in life. So, the best way to find out our purpose for living is to search the Bible and understand GOD’s purpose for creating us.  We fulfill our purpose by aligning it to JESUS’ purpose and doing what He requires us to do. The LORD JESUS created us to bring Him glory as reflected in Isaiah 43:7 which says, “ They are my own people, and I created them to bring me glory.”  Glory means heavenly happiness this also means that we should please JESUS. The first step to glorifying or pleasing JESUS is to have faith in Him. Having faith means believing in JESUS and being u...
