Praising when you can't see it

Everything that you see is temporary. Your height, your weight, your job, whatever. However
2 Corinthians 4:18 tells us that what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Most of us go to work everyday and get paid periodically throughout the month. We trust our employer to pay us when they say they will because there are laws to protect the employee. So again we trust that we will get paid on time each month.

It's the same thing with God, he has promised to never leave us or forsake us. He has also promised Psalm 34:10....those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

Just like we have to work to receive a paycheck. Those who trust God are also rewarded by all of the innumerable blessings he gives us.

One of the hardest things to do is say thank you before you receive something, because you don't know what it is going to be like.

However the bible instructs us in Hebrews 11:6 without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

I recently started praising Jesus before things happen and my prayers are now getting answered faster then they were before. I challenge you to try it.

Try it now:

Father in Heaven, I pray that you ______. I know that by faith you will get it done. God you have already blessed me with _____ and ____ so I thank you so much for being a such a giving and merciful God. In Jesus Name I pray.

Now close your eyes and say thank you Jesus 10 times.

The more people who believe with you the more powerful your prayer. Send your prayer request to admin@multipurposefaith.com

Flatter God

Who would think that God wants to be flattered? Why would a being that is Perfect and knows all things need to be flattered, but He wants to be at the center of your life. He wants to be involved in everything you do.

Therefore, it is important to acknowledge His presence. Something as simple as saying "Hey God thanks for getting me through that one" or "Wow I don't know what I'm about to get into but Jesus I need you to help me out right now".

Hebrews 4:12 (NLT)

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow.

Since God's word is alive and powerful, use it to your advantage.

But once you use it Remember to thank God. Think about how you would feel if you always give out something to someone and they never say thank you. God will always help you through His Holy Spirit, but as thank Him continually to show your gratitude for what He has done for you.

Colossians 3:16 (NIV)

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Praise Him before you eat

Psalm 22:26 (NIV)

The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the LORD will praise him— may your hearts live forever!

Deuteronomy 8:10 (NIV)

When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you.

Psalm 28:6 (NIV)

My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.

I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.

The meaning of Righteous

Righteousness:
The Hebrew word for righteousness is tseh'-dek, Gesenius's Strong's Concordance:6664—righteous, integrity, equity, justice, straightness. The root of tseh'-dek is tsaw-dak', Gesenius's Strong:6663—upright, just, straight, innocent, true, sincere. It is best understood as the product of upright, moral action in accordance with some form of divine plan.

The New Testament continues the Hebrew Bible's tradition of the ethical (1 Thessalonians 2:10) and legal (1 Corinthians 4:4) aspects of righteousness, but adds the element that Jesus embodies righteousness, (Acts 3:14). According to the New Testament, Jesus came to the world to address the needs, not of "the righteous", but of "sinners," (Mark 2:17). Righteousness, like the Kingdom of Heaven, is God's gift through grace, (Matthew 5:6, Matthew 6:33).

2 Corinthians 5:21

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Prayer Alert: Our Prayers go out to Virginia Tech College

Yes there is still a God!

No one ever expects to drop their child off by car at college and then later pick their body up at the morgue. However, that is exactly what the parents of 32 students are going through right now.

Our prayers go out to the families. Seek comfort knowing that God is still in control.

2 Corinthians 5:8 (NIV)
We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

Your children have passed on to be with the Lord. Burying a child is the most difficult thing a parent can do and no one else understands your pain but God. Lean on Him for support.

Ways to deal with grief:

1- Cry out Jesus, ask why me and pay attention to how the Holy Spirit will reveal answers to you through other people or situations.
2- Seek a Christ Centered Parent Grief Group.
3-Reach out to your Church Pastor or start going back to church.
4- Meditate on God's scriptures, especially Psalms. God Will deliver you from your grief, if you let him.
5- Focus on another activity. A major part of the healing process is to get back into your old routine and starting new ones.


Father, we pray that you help these families deal with their tremendous grief by leaning on you for support and casting all their cares on you. We thank you that you a mighty and merciful God and through the Holy Spirit you will help them get through this. In Jesus Name, Amen

So I thank you that I will begin living my best life new. It's in Jesus name I pray. Amen
