REAL Faith HEB 11:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

REAL Faith HEB 11:1  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV), it says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

"God delights to increase the faith of His children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God’s hand as a means. I say—and say it deliberately—trials, obstacles, difficulties, and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith…We should take them out of His hands as evidences of His love and care for us in developing more and more that faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us.”—George Mueller

This quote by George Mueller is a great reminder that we should not be afraid of trials and difficulties in our lives. Instead of wanting no trials before victory or no exercise for patience, we should be willing to take them from God’s hand as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats are the very food of faith. We should take them out of His hands as evidences of His love and care for us in developing more and more that faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us.

In Hebrews 11:1 (KJV), it says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This verse reminds us that faith is not just a feeling or an idea, It is something that we can hold on to even when we cannot see what is ahead. Faith is the evidence that God is working in our lives even when we cannot see it.

In conclusion, let us remember that God delights to increase our faith. We should be willing to take trials and difficulties from His hand as a means to strengthen our faith. Faith is not just a feeling or an idea but it is a something that we can hold on to even when we cannot see what is ahead. Let us trust in God’s love and care for us as He develops more and more that faith which He is seeking to strengthen in us.

REAL REST Matt 11:28-29 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

REAL REST Matt 11:28-29  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

 
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matt 11:28‭-‬30 KJV

1. Meditate on God’s desire to bring you rest. Allow Scripture to renew your mind and transform the way you make decisions and live.

“Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest

2. Where have you forgone rest for busyness and work? In what ways have you allowed society to influence you more than God’s word?

3. Confess to God any ways in which you have forsaken rest and receive his forgiveness. Ask God to fill you with a fresh vision for his purposes behind rest. Ask him to guide you into a lifestyle of taking a Sabbath. Rest in him right now, and allow him to replenish and rejuvenate you with his presence.

28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 AMP

Faith Not Need HEB 11:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Faith Not Need HEB 11:1  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

Faith is an essential part of prayer. The Bible tells us that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). It is through faith that we can approach God in prayer and receive His blessings.

In Matthew 21:22, Jesus says, “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” This verse emphasizes the importance of faith in prayer. When we pray with faith, we can be confident that God will answer our prayers according to His will.

God responds to our faith in prayer, not just our needs. In James 5:16, it says “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This verse tells us that it is not just the words we say in prayer that matter but also the attitude of our hearts. When we pray with faith and sincerity, God hears us and responds.

Focus #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Focus  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus Philippians 3:12-14

In an excellent devotion by Dr. Paul Chappel I cam across this illustration of Focus.

"During the Peninsular Campaign, the Duke of Wellington was leading the combined British and Spanish armies fighting against Napoleon. The French emperor had conquered much of Europe, and Wellington was struggling to push him out of Spain. After finding himself repeatedly hounded for a detailed and in-depth accounting of how the army was spending funds, Wellington dashed off a letter laying out and apologizing for a shortage of one shilling and nine pence in a petty cash fund. Then he wrote: "This brings me to my present purpose, which is to request elucidation of my instructions from His Majesty's Government, so that I may better understand why I am dragging an army over these barren plains. I construe that perforce it must be one of two alternative duties, as given below. I shall pursue either one with the best of my ability but I cannot do both: 1. To train an army of uniformed British clerks in Spain for the benefit of the accountant and copy boys in London or, perchance, 2. To see to it that the forces of Napoleon are driven out of Spain."

Wellington rightly understood the power of focus and the danger of losing focus. History is repleate with examples of individuals who have maximized their contributions to humanity by having a powerful focus. For example, Einstein was focused on physics, Elon Musk is focused on technology and Shakespeare focused on writing. Warren Buffett, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison.

This power of focus can help us succeed in what we need to accomplish, but can I suggest an overarching focus?  Let's focus on hearing "Well done thou good and faithful servant" from the lips of our Father in Heaven.  If we can live as faithful Children of God, pleasing Him with how we live our lives we will have been truly successful

The Battlefield Ps 42:5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

The Battlefield Ps 42:5  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

In Psalm 42:5. It says “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.”

I have a bad habit I want to break called negative self talk, another name for it is A.N.T (Automatic Negative Thinking).  I find that I say stuff to myself I wouldn't say to my worst enemy.  That is not good, Satan is "the accuser of the breathern," and he wants to keep me on his destruction crew, wrecking my own life and effectiveness. I am ready to win this battle.

Psalm 42:5 is a verse that encourages the reader to hope in God and trust in His help. It is a reminder that God is always there for us and that we can rely on Him even when we feel down or discouraged.

This verse can be seen as an example of positive self-talk. By repeating the phrase “hope thou in God,” the psalmist is reminding himself to focus on the positive and trust in God’s help.

There are many verses in the bible that teach the importance of what we say to ourselves on a daily basis, here are just a few....

*Romans 12:2 - “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
*Proverbs 23:7 - “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
*Philippians 4:8 - “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Let's saturate our souls with Scripture like this that can not only elevate our mood but also transform our minds.  When we win the battle in our minds we win the battle in life.

Beauty For Ashes Isa. 61:3 #nightlight #RTTBROS

BEAUTY FOR ASHES Isa. 61:3  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

Isaiah 61:3 KJV says “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” This verse is a promise of God’s restoration and transformation. It is a promise that God can transform our captivity into conquering, from sighing to singing and from groaning to glory.

God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful. He can take our ashes and turn them into something new. He can take our mourning and turn it into joy. He can take our heaviness and turn it into praise. He can take our captivity and turn it into conquering.

God is in the business of transformation. He wants to transform us from the inside out. He wants to make us new creations in Christ Jesus. He wants to give us beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and praise for heaviness.

So if you are feeling broken today, remember that God can transform your brokenness into something beautiful. If you are mourning today, remember that God can turn your mourning into joy. If you are feeling heavy today, remember that God can turn your heaviness into praise. And if you are feeling captive today, remember that God can turn your captivity into conquering.

Let us pray: Dear Lord, thank You for Your promise of restoration and transformation. Help us to trust You with our brokenness, mourning, heaviness, and captivity. Help us to believe that You can transform our lives from the inside out. Help us to be trees of righteousness, planted by You for Your glory. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Hiding Place Psalms 32:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Hiding Place Psalms 32:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS  

 Psalm 32:7 KJV - 7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

We hear a lot about "safe space or safe place" I think I have one of those but it isn't a place instead it is a person, God. Before you dismiss the idea out of hand consider the above verse and the following thoughts.

In this verse, we see that God is our hiding place.

(Our safe space.) He is the one who protects us during the troubles that we face in life. This concept doesn't mean trouble won't come, but it does mean trouble won't destroy us. Think of a tornado shelter in the South, a family will shelter in one and the storm will rage without but they are not destroyed. They may have lost some things but they are not destroyed. When we are feeling overwhelmed and afraid, we can turn to Him for comfort and safety. He is always there for us, ready to wrap us in His loving arms and keep us safe.

 Remembering that God can work all things together for our good. We don't have to worry because God is always watching over us. He knows what we need before we even ask Him, and He is always ready to provide for us.

Finally, the verse says that God will compass us about with songs of deliverance. This means that He will surround us with His love and grace. When we are feeling down and discouraged, He will lift us up and give us hope. He will fill our hearts with joy and peace, and we will be able to sing His praises.

In conclusion, Psalm 32:7 is a beautiful reminder of God's love and protection for us. It tells us that we can always turn to Him for help and comfort, and that He will never leave us or forsake us. So let's take comfort in these words today and trust in God's unfailing love for us.

Choices Ahead Gal 6:7 #RTTBROS #nightlight

Choice Ahead! Gal. 6:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." - Galatians 6:7

A sign over a freeway said "Who hates speeding tickets, raise your right foot." It means you have agency, you have the ability to make choices.  while you are free to make any choice you like you are not free from the consequences of that choice. 

This verse reminds us that we are responsible for our actions and the consequences that follow. We have the freedom to make choices, but we must also be prepared to face the consequences of those choices.

It's important to remember that some storms in life are self-generated by foolish or wicked choices. When we make poor decisions, we can create problems for ourselves that can be difficult to overcome. However, it's never too late to turn things around and make better choices.

As Christians, we are called to live a life of righteousness and obedience to God's will. This means making choices that honor God and reflect His love and grace. When we do this, we can trust that God will guide us through any storm and help us overcome any obstacle.

In conclusion, let us remember that our choices have consequences. We must be mindful of the decisions we make and strive to live a life that honors God. When we do this, we can trust that God will guide us through any storm and help us overcome any obstacle.

Crisis Prayer Rom 8:26-28#Nightlight #RTTBROS

Crisis Prayer Rom 8:26-28#Nightlight #RTTBROS  

 Romans 8:26-29 KJV - 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

 "What to pray when you don't know what to say":

When we are in times of crisis in our lives and we are so broken and shattered that all we can say is "Oh God"...Oh God", it is important to remember that the Holy Spirit makes that prayer into a powerful petition to a God who cares. Romans 8:26-29 KJV says "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

When we don't know what to pray, we can ask for guidance and the power of grace to hear divine instructions. Pour out your heart to God, even if you don't understand what to pray, and trust that the Holy Spirit will intercede for you. Psalm 143:1 is a verse that can be prayed when you don't know what to pray ¹.

One of the best ways to pray when you don’t know what to say is to trust in God and lean on His Word. Immerse yourself in it. While fear may continue to show up for you, when you acknowledge and truly believe that God is in control, anything is possible.

“When you don’t know what to say, just say Jesus. There is power in the name, the name of Jesus. If the words won’t come cause you’re too afraid to pray, just say Jesus.” – Just Say Jesus from 7eventh Time Down 

 Just as the words to the song say, there is power in the name of Jesus!

What Do I Do James 4:17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

What Do I Do James 4:17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS  

 The Bible has a verse that says "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." James 4:17 This verse emphasizes the importance of doing the right thing when we know what it is. 

In times of crisis, it is easy to fall into fight or flight mode. However, there is often a third response that happens - "Freeze." We fall into the paralysis of analysis. We don't know what to do so we do nothing. Instead, the strategy is to do the next right thing to keep moving forward. 

When we are faced with difficult situations, it can be hard to know what the right thing is. But if we take a step back and look at the situation objectively, we can often see what needs to be done. It may not be easy, but doing the right thing is always worth it in the end.

Doing the right thing can also mean different things to different people. It can mean being honest when it's hard or standing up for what you believe in. Whatever it means to you, remember that doing the right thing is always the best choice.

REMEBER THE BENEFITS Psalms 103:2-5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

REMEBER THE BENEFITS Psalms 103:2-5  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalm 103:2-5 KJV)

The Psalmist David reminds us of the many benefits we receive from God. He forgives our sins, heals our diseases, redeems us from destruction, crowns us with love and mercy, and satisfies our desires with good things. We should never forget these benefits and always be grateful for them.

God's forgiveness is a gift that we do not deserve. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). But God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life (John 3:16). When we confess our sins to God, He is faithful and just to forgive us (1 John 1:9).

God's healing power is also a gift that we can receive through faith. Jesus healed many people during His ministry on earth, and He still heals today. We can pray for healing for ourselves or others and trust that God will answer our prayers according to His will (James 5:14-15).

God's redemption is another gift that we can receive through faith in Jesus Christ. He has redeemed us from the curse of sin and death and given us eternal life (Galatians 3:13-14). We are no longer slaves to sin but are free to live for God (Romans 6:22).

God's love and mercy are also gifts that we can receive through faith in Jesus Christ. He loves us with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) and has shown us mercy by not giving us what we deserve (Psalm 103:10). We can trust in His love and mercy every day of our lives.

Son Shine Psalms 113;3 #Nightlight #RTTBRO

Son Shine Psalms 113;3  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

Psalm 113:3 (KJV) says “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.” This verse reminds us that we should always be praising God for all that He has done for us.

Psalm 145:9-10 (KJV) says “The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee.” This verse reminds us that God’s love is always with us and that we should always be praising Him.

Sunflowers are known for their ability to turn their heads towards the sun as it moves across the sky. This is called heliotropism. It is a beautiful reminder of how we should always be facing the Son of God in our lives.

The sun is a beautiful reminder of God’s love for us. It provides warmth and light to the earth, which in turn provides a warm inviting place for bees to come and pollinate bringing new life. Similarly, as Christians, we should be inviting to others and help bring new life into the world by sharing the love of Christ.

Fly His Banner Ps. 20:5 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Fly His Banner Ps. 20:5  #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

 
Psalm 20:5 KJV  says "We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfil all thy petitions."

There are many stories of soldiers grabbing banners and turning the tide of battle. One such story is from the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. On July 2, 1863, Union General Winfield Scott Hancock ordered his men to take a Confederate position on Cemetery Ridge. As they advanced, a Union soldier named Sergeant William H. Carney grabbed the American flag and ran forward, despite being shot several times. He planted the flag on the Confederate position and held it there until reinforcements arrived.

Setting up banners in the name of God means to honor God and celebrate His faithfulness. In the past, banners were used as military equipment to assemble, direct, distinguish, and encourage troops. They might have been used for other purposes as well.

In the context of Psalm 20:5 KJV, setting up banners means to wage war in God's name and make His glory our end in every expedition. We should ask counsel at His mouth and take Him along with us. We should follow His conduct, implore His aid, depend upon it, and refer the issue to Him.

Spiritual warfare is a biblical concept involving the struggle against evil forces. The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare in many places, but most directly in Ephesians 6:12, where Paul speaks of putting on the full armor of God: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

Here are three truths about spiritual warfare:

1. Spiritual warfare is real. The Bible tells us that we are in a spiritual battle against evil forces. We must be prepared for this battle by putting on the full armor of God.

2. Spiritual warfare is not just about us. It is also about God's glory. We should make His glory our end in every expedition and follow His conduct, implore His aid, depend upon it, and refer the issue to Him.

3. Spiritual warfare is not just about fighting against evil forces but also about living a life that honors God. We should live a life that is pleasing to God and that reflects His love and grace to others.

Tired People 2 Chr 15:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Tired People 2 Chr 15:7 #Nightlight #RTTBROS 

2 Chronicles 15:7 KJV says "Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded."

All important work that has ever been done was done by tired people. This is because important work requires effort and dedication. It is not always easy to stay motivated when we are tired or when we don't see immediate results. However, it is important to remember that we do the work first and then the motivation or reward comes, not the other way around. If we sit and wait for motivation or reward to come first, we will be in a stuck state and never get anything done.

For example, if you want to lose weight, you have to put in the work of eating healthy and exercising regularly before you see any results. If you wait for motivation or reward to come first, you will never lose weight. Similarly, if you want a clean house, you have to put in the work of cleaning it before you can enjoy a clean home. If you wait for motivation or reward to come first, your house will never be clean.

2 Chronicles 15:7 KJV says "Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded." This verse reminds us that we should not give up on our work and that we should remain strong in our faith. It is also a reminder that our work will be rewarded. We should not be discouraged by the challenges we face in life but rather we should remain steadfast in our faith and trust that God will reward us for our hard work.

No Racing Ps 46:10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

No Racing Ps 46:10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

"Be still and know that I am God." This is what the Lord says in Psalms 46:10 KJV. It's a reminder that we need to quiet our racing minds and focus on Him. When we do this, we can see things more clearly and find peace.

Isaiah 26:3 KJV says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." This means that when we keep our minds focused on God, He will give us perfect peace.

Think of a snow globe. When you shake it up, you can't see the beautiful scene inside. But when you stop shaking it and let the snow settle, you can see everything clearly. The same is true for our minds. When we quiet our racing thoughts and focus on God, we can see things more clearly.

We live in a world that is constantly moving and changing. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose sight of what's important. That's why it's so important to take time each day to be still and focus on God.

When we take time to be still and focus on God, we are reminded of His love for us. We are reminded that He is in control and that we don't have to be. We are reminded that He has a plan for our lives and that everything will work out for our good.

So today, take some time to be still and focus on God. Let Him fill you with His peace and love. Let Him remind you of His goodness and faithfulness. And let Him guide you as you navigate this crazy world we live in.

Break Out Of The Bucket Rom 1:16+17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Break Out Of The Bucket Rom 1:16+17 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." - Romans 1:16 (KJV)

The power of Christ is not just a concept or an idea. It is a living force that can transform our lives and give us hope in the darkest of times. When we put our faith in Christ, we are tapping into a power that is greater than anything we could ever imagine.

In his book "Six Hours One Friday," Max Lucado delves into the meaning of Jesus' last hours on the cross. He writes about how Jesus' death was not just a tragic event, but a powerful demonstration of God's love for us. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and death and gave us the power to live new lives in him.

There is a story about a man who was walking along a beach one day when he saw another man fishing in the surf with a bait bucket beside him. As he drew closer, he saw that the bait bucket had no lid and had live crabs inside.

"Why don't you cover your bait bucket so the crabs won't escape?" he asked.

"You don't understand," the man replied, "If there is one crab in the bucket it would surely crawl out very quickly. However, when there are many crabs in the bucket, if one tries to crawl up the side, the others grab hold of it and pull it back down so that it will share the same fate as the rest of them."

This story illustrates how we can be like those crabs in our own lives. We can be held back by our fears and doubts, by our past mistakes and failures. But when we put our faith in Christ, we are set free from those things that hold us back. We are given new life and new hope.

So let us not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Let us embrace it with all our hearts and allow it to transform our lives from the inside out.

Plateau Of Latent Potential Rom 12:2 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Plateau Of Latent Potential Rom 12:2  #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Romans 12:2  says: "Romans 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

What does it mean to be transformed by the renewing of your mind? It means to change the way you think, feel, and act according to God's word and will. It means to let go of the worldly values, habits, and attitudes that keep you from living a godly life. It means to allow God to work in you and through you by his Spirit and grace.

But how does this transformation happen? Is it instant or gradual? Is it easy or hard? Is it visible or invisible?

The truth is, transformation is often a slow process. It takes time, effort, and perseverance. It involves trials, tests, and challenges. It requires faith, hope, and love.

Think of an ice cube. When you put it in a warm room, it starts to melt. But you don't see any change until it reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Until then, it looks solid and frozen. But inside, there is a lot of activity going on. The molecules are moving faster and faster, breaking the bonds that hold them together. The ice cube is changing from a solid to a liquid state.

The same is true for us. When we expose ourselves to God's word, his presence, his people, and his purposes, we start to melt. But we don't see any change until we reach a certain point. Until then, we may look the same as before. But inside, there is a lot of activity going on. Our thoughts are changing, our feelings are changing, our actions are changing. We are changing from being conformed to this world to being transformed by God.

This is what James Clear calls the Plateau of Latent Potential. He says: "Breakthrough moments are often the result of many previous actions, which build up the potential required to unleash a major change."

So don't be discouraged if you don't see immediate results in your transformation. Don't give up if you face obstacles or setbacks in your journey. Don't compare yourself with others who may seem more advanced or successful than you.

Remember that God is working in you and for you. He has a good plan for your life. He will complete what he started in you.

As Max Lucado says: "God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus."

So keep melting. Keep renewing your mind. Keep following God's will.

And one day, you will see the change.

Prayer Master Class 3 Ps 33:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #NormanKissinger #NK

Prayer Master Class 3 Ps 33:1 #Nightlight #RTTBROS #NormanKissinger #NK 

Tune in tonight and find out how a veteran pastor 

Brings more lessons on prayers that touch the heart of God and transform our hearts and lives.

"Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright." - Psalm 33:1 (KJV)

As we begin our prayer time, let us start with a Psalm and allow it to guide us into the presence of God. Psalm 33 reminds us to rejoice in the Lord and to praise Him for His goodness. Let us take the time we need in prayer to sense the presence of God and to truly connect with Him.

In our prayers, let us seek the heart of God. Let us ask Him how He feels about the situations and people we are praying for. When we seek God's heart, we align ourselves with His will and His plans for our lives.

It's important to come to God with a heart to know Him and to serve Him. Our attitude and heart in prayer are infinitely more important than our posture in prayer. Let us humble ourselves before God and ask Him to transform us through our prayers.

Prayer is not just about changing the situation or the people we are praying for, but it's also about allowing God to do a transformative work in us. Let us surrender ourselves to God and allow Him to work in our hearts and minds.

In conclusion, let us remember to start our prayers with a Psalm, seek the heart of God, come to Him with a heart to know and serve Him, and allow Him to transform us through our prayers. As we pray, let us trust in God's goodness and His plans for our lives.

Master Class In prayer Norman Kissinger #NormanKissinger #NK #NightLight #RTTBROS

As Christians, we know the importance of prayer. It is our direct line of communication with God, and it is through prayer that we can seek His guidance, wisdom, and strength. However, sometimes we may struggle with our prayer life, and we may not know how to pray effectively. That's why it's important to learn from those who have gone before us and have experienced a fruitful prayer life.

One of the things that veteran pastor Norman will cover in tonight's devotion is pacing your prayer. It's important to take the time to sense God's presence during our prayer time. We should not rush through our prayers, but instead, take the time to be still and listen to what God is saying to us. Keeping an up-to-date prayer list can also help us to pace our prayer time and not rush through it.

Another important aspect of effective prayer is bookending our prayers with Psalms. The Psalms are a beautiful collection of prayers and songs that can help us to express our hearts to God. By starting and ending our prayers with a Psalm, we can focus our hearts and minds on God and His goodness.

When we come to God in prayer, we should seek His heart for ourselves and others. We should not just come to God with a shopping list of requests, but instead, we should seek to know His will and His plan for our lives. As we seek God's heart, He will reveal His plans and purposes to us.

Finally, prayer is essential for revival. As we pray for ourselves, we should also pray for a mighty move of God across our national 

We can trust in the Lord to guide us in our prayer life. As we seek Him with all our hearts, He will show us how to pray effectively and how to draw closer to Him. And as we grow in our prayer life, we can experience the power and presence of God in our lives.

Let us also remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:6, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." We should not only pray in public but also in private, seeking God's presence and guidance in our personal prayer time.

In conclusion, let us make prayer a priority in our lives. Let us seek God's heart, pace our prayer time, bookend our prayers with Psalms, and pray for revival. And let us continue to learn from those who have gone before us and have experienced a fruitful prayer life.

LOMBARDI Time Pro. 9:10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

LOMBARDI Time Pro. 9:10 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

Vince Lombardi was a legendary coach who instilled discipline and respect in his players. He demanded that they arrive early, and if they were not 15 minutes early, they were considered late. Lombardi's strictness and training produced some of the best football players in history. In Proverbs 9:10, the Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." Lombardi's coaching style reminds us of the importance of discipline and respect, but the fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom. The fear of the Lord is not a fear of punishment or retribution, but a reverence and awe for God. It is recognizing His power, His authority, and His holiness. When we fear the Lord, we acknowledge that He is the Creator of the universe, and we are His creation. Just as Lombardi demanded respect and obedience from his players, God also deserves our respect and obedience. He has given us His Word, the Bible, as a guide for our lives. When we follow His commands, we show our reverence for Him and our trust in His wisdom. As we seek to grow in wisdom, let us remember the importance of the fear of the Lord. Let us approach Him with reverence and awe, acknowledging His power and authority. And let us follow His commands, trusting in His wisdom and guidance for our lives.
