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.

Changing The Subject Isa 55:8 #NightLight #RTTBROS. #NK #NormanKissinger

 Changing The Subject Isa 55:8 #NightLight #RTTBROS. #NK #NormanKissinger 

 Title: Changing the Subject

Verse: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." - Isaiah 55:8 (KJV)
Devotion:
When we come to God in prayer, we often have a specific request in mind. We may be praying for a loved one's healing, a job opportunity, or a change in our circumstances. We pray persistently and with great intensity, hoping that God will hear our prayers and answer them according to our desires.

But sometimes, instead of answering our prayers in the way we expect, God changes the subject. He shows us how we need to change in order for His will to be accomplished. He may reveal to us areas of our lives that need to be surrendered to Him, or He may challenge us to trust Him more fully.

It can be frustrating when God doesn't answer our prayers in the way we want Him to. We may feel like our prayers are falling on deaf ears or that God doesn't care about our situation. But the truth is that God always hears our prayers, and He always has our best interests at heart.

God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. We may not always understand why God allows certain things to happen or why He doesn't answer our prayers in the way we want Him to. But we can be sure that He is always working for our good and His glory.

When God changes the subject, it's an opportunity for us to grow closer to Him and to become more like Him. It's an opportunity for us to trust Him more fully and to surrender our will to His. It's an opportunity for us to see things from His perspective and to align our desires with His.

So the next time you find yourself praying persistently and with great intensity about a situation or person, be open to the possibility that God may change the subject. Don't be discouraged or disheartened. Instead, trust that God knows what He's doing and that He has a plan for your life.

Remember the words of Isaiah 55:8, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." Trust in God's wisdom and guidance, and allow Him to change you from the inside out.

War No More James 4:1-3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS

War No More James 4:1-3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS


Make War No More
"From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?" - James 4:1

Throughout history, there have been many stupid wars that have been fought. Wars like "The War of the Whiskers," "The War of the Oaken Bucket," and "The War of Jenkins' Ear." These wars were fought over trivial things and resulted in the loss of many lives.

James asks the question, "From whence come wars and fightings among you?" The answer is simple: they come from our own lusts and desires. We want what we want, and we are willing to fight for it. But when we surrender to God unconditionally, we no longer feel compelled to be at war with each other.

When we surrender to God, we realize that our desires are not as important as we thought they were. We begin to see things from His perspective, and we understand that there are more important things in life than getting our own way.

We also begin to see others as God sees them. We realize that they are not our enemies, but our brothers and sisters. We begin to love them as God loves them, and we no longer feel the need to fight with them.

Draw near to God, surrender your pride to him and find a peace that passes understanding will now guard you heart and mind.

Surrender Phil 4:5 A.B Simpson


#MorningGlory. RTTBROS

Surrender
A.B Simpson

The very test of consecration is our willingness not only to surrender the things that are wrong, but to surrender our rights, to be willing to be subject. When God begins to subdue a soul, He often requires us to yield the things that are of little importance in themselves and thus breaks our necks and subdues our spirits. No Christian worker can ever be used of God until the proud self-will is broken and the heart is ready to yield to God's every touch, no matter through whom it may come. Many people want God to lead them in their way, but they will endure no authority or restraint. They will give their money, but they want to dictate how it shall be spent. They will work as long as you let them please themselves, but let any pressure come and you immediately run up against not the grace of resignation but a letter of resignation. They may withdraw from some important trust, and arouse a whole community of criticizing friends, who are equally disposed to have their own opinions and their own way. Such attitudes are destructive of all real power. Let your moderation be known unto all men -Philippians 4:5

Total Surrender Mark 8:35. Oswald Chambers

#MorningGlory RTTBROS

Oswald Chambers
My Utmost For His Highest
Total Surrender

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Mark 8:35 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mrk.8.35.KJV

Total Surrender
Our Lord replies to this statement of Peter by saying that this surrender is “for My sake and the gospel’s” (10:29). It was not for the purpose of what the disciples themselves would get out of it. Beware of surrender that is motivated by personal benefits that may result. For example, “I’m going to give myself to God because I want to be delivered from sin, because I want to be made holy.” Being delivered from sin and being made holy are the result of being right with God, but surrender resulting from this kind of thinking is certainly not the true nature of Christianity. Our motive for surrender should not be for any personal gain at all. We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself. It is like saying, “No, Lord, I don’t want you; I want myself. But I do want You to clean me and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I want to be on display in Your showcase so I can say, ‘This is what God has done for me.’” Gaining heaven, being delivered from sin, and being made useful to God are things that should never even be a consideration in real surrender. Genuine total surrender is a personal sovereign preference for Jesus Christ Himself.

Where does Jesus Christ figure in when we have a concern about our natural relationships? Most of us will desert Him with this excuse—“Yes, Lord, I heard you call me, but my family needs me and I have my own interests. I just can’t go any further” (see Luke 9:57–62). “Then,” Jesus says, “you ‘cannot be My disciple’” (see Luke 14:26–33).

True surrender will always go beyond natural devotion. If we will only give up, God will surrender Himself to embrace all those around us and will meet their needs, which were created by our surrender. Beware of stopping anywhere short of total surrender to God. Most of us have only a vision of what this really means, but have never truly experienced it.

O Lord, cause my intellect to glow with Your Holy Spirit’s teaching.

Real Rest Isa. 9:6

#MorningGlory RTTBROS

When you feel distressed and depressed and drained look with in for the cause of the problem as A.B. Simpson points out there is a spiritual aspect to exaustion that will never be healed till we surrender all, even our work for God back to God.  Read this powerful devotion below and ask God is there are any areas in your life that need surrender.

"Real Rest" 
Rest. A.B Simpson 

You cannot make the heart restful by stopping its beating. Certain drugs will do that, but that is not really rest. Let the breath of life come-God's life and strength-and there will be sweet rest. Home ties and family affection will not bring it. Deliverance from trouble will not bring it. Many a tried heart has said: "if this great trouble were only gone, I would have rest." But as soon as one crisis goes another comes. The poor wounded deer on the mountainside thinks if it could only bathe in the cold mountain stream it would have rest. But the arrow is in its flesh, and there is no rest for it until the wound is healed. It is as sore in the mountain lake as on the plain. We shall never have God's rest and peace in our hearts until we have surrendered everything, even our work, to Christ and believe He has taken it all. Then we have only to be still and trust. It is necessary to walk in holy obedience and let God have the government on His shoulder. Paul said, "This one thing I do." There is one narrow path for us all-Christ's will and work for us. The government shall be upon his shoulder -Isaiah 9:6
