Colossians 1:7; 9-14
Requesting Direction for
Someones Life
To know the will of God is a treasure; it prevents a person from wasting their time, money, talents and gifts.
Spiritual Understanding – Understanding things the way they are, not as how they appear. Gods understanding.
He said we do not cease to pray, not pray every so often, but all the time.
Request to Walk Worthy of
Jesus Christ’s Name
Walk obedient to what Christ wants for their life.
Walk in a manner so your conversation, conduct and character are consistent with The LORD Jesus Christ!
When someone meets you, they meet Him! Maybe not in the physical form, but His character, by what you are on the inside, not just what you appear to be.
When we disobey God, the Spirit of God convicts us; the same when we obey, the Spirit of God gives a sense of approving or approval.
A godly life is life a patterned after the life of Jesus Christ; it means that our goal is not to be perfect or sinless, but our goal is to follow Jesus Christ.
What would He have me to do today?
When Jesus and I met and we got saved, He left us here so we could make a difference and so our lives would count.
Your life is an extention of the life of Jesus Christ. Your eyes, ears, walk and talk represent Him.
ü An exhibition of His
character.
ü A demonstration of His
power.
Request that Your Life
Will Make an Impact
There is a difference between being fruitful and being busy.
“I am too busy to goto Church or serve The LORD.”
Being busy is not acceptable in the eyes of God.
We are to pray to be fruitful and that our lives would make a difference, an impact!
Pray for their life to make a difference:
Notice it says good work, many people impact peoples lives, but its very destructive.
What is good work?
Ø Lord how do You want me to
invest my time?
Ø How do you want me to use
my talents and gifts?
Request a Desire to Know
God
To grow in The LORD
Study His Word;
ü Looking to understand the
ways of God;
ü What does He think?
ü How does He operate?
ü What is His promise?
ü What happens when you obey
Him?
ü What happens when you
don’t?
ü Why does He do this?
ü Why doesn’t He do this?
ü Learning the ways of God
Apply what you learn;
·
If you come to Church and you don’t have any
intention of changing your life, you wont bring a notebook or a pencil and pad.
·
The Holy Spirit will teach you the truth, if you
want to know it.
·
Observe the consequences
·
Nobody wants to talk about the consequences
Request to Experience the
Power of God
We can live a life in His energy, power and strength.
We can do what seems to be impossible with God.
God can handle anything that comes our way.
We can never ask God for too much strength or power.
The issue is am I willing to pray for it? Am I willing to believe it?
Our consistency in praying for someone reveals the value of the person to our lives.
Pray for His strength and patience; so you wont give up and quit.
When we have learned about God we can joyously give thanks to Him, regardless of the circumstances.
Request to Have the Right
Attitude by Joyously Giving Thanks.
What builds character? Not happy times!
What builds strength? Tough times!
What builds characteristics in our life? What
brings qualities in our life?
Its people who are hurt who understand how to
help the hurt.
Its people who have been down that have a
compassion to help those who are down.
Scripture talks about kindness making a man or woman attractive;
Various Versions of The
Bible;
[Proverbs 19:22]
-
“That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness”
~ American Standard Version
-
“The charm of a man is his kindness” ~ Darby Bible Translation
-
“Loyalty makes a person attractive.” ~ New Living Translation
-
“That which makes a man to be desired
is his kindness” ~ World English Bible
Most people think attractiveness is in hair, nails, suit, car, dress or looks.
Gods perspective is kindness.
Any woman should want a man who is real on the inside who is gentle, kind, caring, loving, trustworthy; a man she can rely on to be faithful. It’s the same with a guy wanting a woman.
“The more godly a woman is; the more beautiful and the longer the beauty will last” ~ Charles Stanley
_____________________________________________________________
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as
your personal Lord and Savior?
If not, here’s what you are missing.
You are missing satisfaction in life. You are missing the blessings of
God in and through your life. You are missing the blessing of being able to
know God intimately and know Him for the pardoning of your sins. You are missing the blessing of being able to
serve God and impact your community and the world around you. You are missing the beauty of God revealing
Himself to you and helping you in your daily life. You are missing out on such
great things. God wants the best for you
and His best starts with you admitting you have sinned against Him and that you
need a Savior for your sins, that Savior is Jesus Christ. Like me, will you rebel against God’s plan
and will for your life? Will you submit to Gods will so He can save you and
redirect your life? God can get you off
any drugs, any habit or addiction, nothing can stop God and God will stop at
nothing to stop it from stopping you from reaching your full potential for
Christ. God loves you so much, why wait
and why reject His message. If you want
to be saved for-real, just pray this prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I have sinned, I am a sinner, I have sinned and will sin, but I
have sinned only against You. Lord, I am in need of Your forgiveness. I believe
You died for my sins and You rose from the dead. I believe You are God and that
You have the capability to forgive me of my sins and cleanse me from my
unrighteousness. Lord, please save me and draw me to You by Your grace. Fill me
with Your Spirit. Baptize me in Your power and help me to live a lifestyle that
is pleasing in Your sight. Give me victory over temptation, Lord, strengthen me
to be all who You want me to be please in Jesus Name! AMEN!”
"God loved the world this way:
He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will
have eternal life." ~ John 3:16 (God’s Word Translation)
"That
if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart
that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a
person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting
in salvation. For
the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be [disappointed.” For
there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord
of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the
name of the Lord will be saved.” ~ Romans 10:9-13 (NASB)
These links may help you in your walk with Jesus Christ. I urge you to take a look at some and
remember to draw closer to God through studying His Word and praying daily for
yourself and most importantly, others.
God Bless!
