The effective prayer

John 14: 12-14, Matthew 11: 25-30; 21: 21-22

Richard F. Ames  in his writing titled "Keys to Effective Prayer" put forward the facts found by  Barna Research poll: "More than four out of five [U.S.] adults (82%) pray during a typical week." That may sound impressive, but how many pray every day? Remember that in the "outline prayer," Jesus taught us to pray daily (Matthew 6:11).

     Does prayer actually change things? According to Barna Research, "Americans believe in the power and impact of prayer. Four out of five (82%) believe that ‘prayer can change what happens in a person’s life.’ (1994)." Do you personally believe that? (quoted from http://www.tomorrowsworld.org/cgi-bin/tw/tw-mag.cgi?category=Magazine25&item=1104179053).


What is the effectif prayer? The effectif prayer is not prayer that the Lord answered instantly. There’s no “magic formula” that will cause a prayer to be answered in the exact way you want, The Bible teaches how to keep our prayers become efective.

The Effective Prayer life is determined by: 

I. Recognition To the Lord (Matt. 11: 27)
How can we know God?- In the prayer Jesus clearly implied that we can know the truth of God personally through Jesus. 
 - He has traveled a path that is not human because of His love to mankind. 
 - Jesus in his humanity prostrate ourselves to the will of God the Father, so also should we in our every prayer. 

II. Our response to the call Of The Lord to Pray (Matt. 11: 28)."Come unto Me, all who pooped and heavy load, I will give relief to you." 
- God is calling each person who experienced fatigue in his spiritual life. 
- God promises that when we respond to his call, He will give relief to us. 
- Even as He will answer our prayers

III. How Intimate our relationship with God (Mathew 11: 28-30)
Jesus said at Mathew 11: 28-30 "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Thayer Thayer Defining "Come" as  
1) come hither, come here, come
2) interjection, come!, come now!
The point is, how we are respon for his calling. Jesus wants you and I responded it. He also wants you and I have an intimate relationship with him. He promised that if we responded to the call, He will give relief to us.

IV. Is How big is our Faith in God (John 14: 12)."Whoever believes in Me (John 14: 12), ... And whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer with full faith (Matt. 21: 21-22)"

• Believe it comes from the Greek word "Pistis" which means: to respect the human relationship to God belief.
• Believe it because it knows God's faithfulness to fulfill His promises to mankind

Theology of Prayer

Prayer, that's one word that is not alien to human beings who acknowledge the existence of a divine person.

Grab Wisdom

World Cup, an arena football team that really attracted worldwide attention. From June 11 until July 11, 2010, we can see 32 teams from 32 countries and five continents will compete in the sport complain ability of football. With bears the name of the State and nation, theystrive to achieve their main objectives, namely to get the World Cup. Cup made of gold and copper, with 36 cm high and weighs approximately 5 kg is a very valuable award price.
There are positive and negative sides of the conduct of this World Cup. On the positive side for us, we can be entertained with the game, and perhaps for families who enjoy the game, can watch together so they can familiarizing familial relationships. While for the southern African country, of which the field of tourism or any other benefit in the material because of the many people who come to the State. On the negative side, it may encourage gambling and other bad things caused by the fever that ball.
All things, if pondered will definitely get a new wisdom. Especially accompanied by fear of the Lord. Similarly, this 2010 World Cup. If they are struggling to obtain that prize trophy, what should we strive for in life? Is our ultimate goal? If we want to be rich, too many rich people who committed suicide.If  we want fame, many famous people who stress to their lives. If we want great power, too many powerful people who loathed. So what are we fighting for?
King Solomon gave the following advice: "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!" (Proverbs 16:16). In another part, namely in Proverbs 4: 7, Solomon said "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." And finally Solomon stressed the importance of seeking wisdom of the most high. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." (Proverbs 9:10)
If the event World Cup games has the largest audience beyond the Olympics, our lives are also a lot petandingan people see around us. It is taught by Paul in his epistle to the Philippians. Paul is a man who was transformed in an extraordinary manner by the Lord Jesus Christ. Encounter with God that changed his life, put a deep impression in his heart, and that changing one level, where it considers that its main purpose. He said: "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." (Philippians 3:8)
Paul did not make such a dark past a stumbling block to faith in Christ, but he has forgotten that behind him and turn to what is in front, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."(Philippians 3:14)
If there is a football game in the striker, defender, goalkeeper and the referee, as well as spectators, in the Christian life, we also asked the courage to go to war to proclaim Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to maintain our lifelong faith, keep our hearts from all evil, still looking God as a regulator of our lives, and the people around us whether we are the ones who watched the game win or lose this faith.
Hebrews 12:1-2: "1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2.  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Giant at Canaan Land

 Version 1:This is my first time seeing this even hearing about it. A long time friend of mine sent it today. The best I can tell is that it is the area of the Greek Hellenistic
influence around the time when Alexander The Great died in 323 BC. When David slew Goliath of Gath, he was reported to be a Philistine. The Bible isn’t detailed except to say Goliath had 4 kinsmen and maybe these are some of his kinsmen or countrymen as mentioned, rather than just a big Philistines.

giants from the days of the bible...
Version 2:I thought this was really cool, how scientist keep finding proof of biblical stories!

Remember the old testament story of how the Israelites were afraid because of the GIANTS in the land of Canaan .

Numbers 13:33 There we saw the GIANTS (the descendants of Anak came from the GIANTS); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."

Reward

Proverb 10:16 The wages of the righteous bring them life,cbut the income of the wicked brings them punishment.d
 Once upon a time there was a small child around the age of 5 years old are invited to go a walk with his father. Once entered a toy shop, the little boy saw a game of cards and he most wanted. This kid wants to collecting and he asked the father. 
Her father saw her things, and he was confused because there are playing cards it is a gift or bonus from a toy robot that was very expensive. Of course, toy gift cards can not be taken despite the fact that free. His father had to buy a toy robot that was not desired by the father or child to obtain the desired child. Yes, probably like that picture of ourselves to God. We want to get a lot of blessings from God. 
Starting from getting the value of good education, wealth, spouse, or whatever you want, we asked him to God. And that's all a salary or bonus as an unwanted gift card boy. So, what we have to pay a robot with expensive so we get the gift card? The first thing we can do is seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Because it is written, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, then all these things will be added unto you." (Matthew 6: 33) Is it true that by doing this we can get a blessing from God? The answer is yes, because God's promises will not fail. By know God better and better yet, we can get a much more beautiful blessing. May not get the blessings that we want like long ago. But with the passage of time to try to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, then we demand that formerly could turn into a demand for other, more important for our lives. The second thing is to keep doing this "Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek, and ye shall receive, knock, the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7) Yes, we mean active diligently to face Him and do what is desired by our Lord, Jesus Christ. Because we must remember that we have a life debt to the Lord Jesus who has saved us from the wages of sin is death. Although there are people who say, "I am not owed his life to Jesus, I did not ask Him crucified to atone for my sins, why should I bother to obey the Alktab!" However, it has happened, useless to complain and grumble. But in fact we must do His commandments. Because apart from that form of revenge His love to us, we then received wages in the world (Peace and Joy) and big wages in Heaven (wages exceeding the beautiful in the world). "So do not you let go of your trust, because of large wage that awaits him." -Hebrews 10:35 - God Bless ~ Nathanael Marvin June 28 at 6:11 pm

Who Am I?

(Psalm 139:1-18)

"Because you did not receive a spirit of slavery that makes you become scared again, but you have received the Spirit that makes you a child of God. By that Spirit we cry:" Abba, Father!" (Romans 8:15)

A mother, with feelings and how could destroy his own heart through the words of insult and invective that he was saying because only the children make mistakes unintentionally. Often this little girl, just because he dropped the pot or glass lid, faced with the anger her mother, who then insults him by saying that he existed, ah illegitimate, the ank despicable, stupid ank, and naughty children who only became bebab for parents. These words are often said to his mother and eventually the little girl grew into a teenager who is full of guilt, burden, and low self-esteem.However, in the struggle to find his true identity, he found Jesus who would accept him as is. He knew that he was an illegitimate child, but she knew that GOD was menenenun him since the womb. He knows that he is a despicable child, but for the Lord he is masterpiece. He knows he bahhwa adalh a silly and sometimes do things wrong, but he also knows that he created in the image and likeness of God Himself and that God had to delete and forget all the mistakes. God died for him, God menggedong him and loved him.The girl was now possess a beautiful self-image since he accepted Jesus as his personal savior. For himself, he is a new creation, has been reborn. Her mother remains as before, insulting him and harassing him, but he knows that it's all past and have no relationship with him now. Now he is a child of God, daughter of the kingdom, and the fact it has changed the world. Like her, you are also very valuable in the eyes of God! Did you know that?

GIGO

Good idea In Good idea Out. The mind is something big impact on our lives.Where to use your mind, we can remove the idea / ideas, models, etc. imagination. With our thoughts can create our dreams, and with the power of the mind that makes us more determined to obtain our dreams.
But many problems occurred. The world is now being offered something that instant and just want to make us feel happy, can enjoy life as the world can offer, rather than spending time wasted for the Lord, that we forget, what is desired by the creator of living human beings?
To think of it, can we take the example of an electronic device. For example, cell phone, if we buy the phone of course we'll get a complete set of phones along with their application and a guide book to use the mobile phone. The creators want us to use the appropriate phone manual so that we can take care of phones that we buy it and use applications and functions as possible.
Thus our lives, our Creator made us with the whole existence (although physical disabilities, along with deficiencies that we have when we are born) and one book that can guide our lives have now, namely the Bible. If we want to know how to wear and use this with a good human being, then we must study the manual. If we read the Bible carefully, it is very rich knowledge about ourselves to this story.
And remember, if we read the Bible, we put our minds with positive things, because the Bible is very good. And after the positive things that go in our minds, then we can do more positive things. And vice versa if the negative things that enter our minds.
If you want to grow maybe we can fill this paragraph, we think,"Finally, brethren,

1. things are true:?,
2. all noble:?,
3. all fair:?,
4. all that's holy:?,
5. all the sweet:?,
6. all that bad to hear:?,
7. whatever is admirable and praiseworthy:?,

think about such things. "Philippians 4:8

1. "And what have you learned:?
2. and what you have received:?,
3. and what ye hear:?
4. and what ye have seen me (Paul):?, do it. And the God of peace will be with you. "

Philippians 4:9
