Jesus Prayed

LUKE 5:16 NKJ 16 So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

But why?

Jesus prayed and He is our example. If prayer was necessary for Jesus – how much more so for us.

JOHN 13:15 NKJ 15 “For I have given you an example… .

LUKE 6:12 NKJ 12 … He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

MARK 1:35 NKJ 35 … a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

Jesus obviously impressed His disciples with His prayer life, and the importance of prayer. They asked Him to teach them to pray – the only thing recorded that they ever asked Jesus to teach them.

LUKE 11:1 NKJ 1 And it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

SAY THIS: Jesus knows more than I do, so I will follow His example and spend time in prayer with my Father God.

Should Christians Use Their Imagination?

2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NKJ 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Many Christians are afraid of using their imagination, equating it with evil. But God surely had a reason to make mankind with an imagination. Once, as I was thinking about this, the question came to me, “Why did God create man with an imagination?” I do believe He is the Creator, don’t you? And God did make man with an imagination. When I asked God if there was any scriptural support for using our imagination, it occurred to me to look in Hebrews 11. As I began reading the chapter I was shocked at what I found, even though I had read it many times before! Right in verse 1, faith is defined as “…evidence of things not seen.” I thought, “If it is something you can’t see, then it has to deal with the realm of the imagination.” People would say we were believing something that is ju...

Motives

PROVERBS 16:2 NLT 2 People may be pure in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their motives. Motives are important to God. God is interested in WHY we do things, not just in WHAT we do. Why do you do what you do? Is it to help others? To please God? Or do you live focused totally on yourself? These questions are important to ask ourselves. As First Corinthians 11:31 says, “if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.” However, we must use caution when trying to judge other people. We don’t know their motives. PROVERBS 21:2 LB 2 We can justify our every deed, but God looks at our motives. We often justify ourselves, but judge others harshly. We may judge ourselves based on our good intentions, but we are only capable of judging others by their actions. So, we must be very cautious about judging others in a condemning way. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:5 NIV 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in dark...
