PRAYERCHAIR

for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God's promises] 2 Corinthians 5:7. AMP. When we place our faith in Jesus, we don't have to accept the bad news we see in-front of us, the negative medical report, the difficult situation etc. but we can look to the one who makes all things possible. As you spend time in prayer God will bring the breakthrough. He desires to be glorified in your life as you keep close to Him

Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written. John 21:25. Jesus performed so many miracles when He was on the earth that only a few have been recorded to stir our faith for what is possible when we put our faith in Him. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is the path to eternal life. He is still changing lives, meeting people's needs, blessing them, and setting them

Remember what I told you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. John15:20-21. People will use the name of Jesus as a swear word and judge you because of Him. Yet if they stopped to think who Jesus really is, they would discover that He's the answer to eternal truth and the p

You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. John15:14-15. Jesus knows your name. He knows every aspect about you and desires that you experience the fullness of a relationship with Him as He has with the Father. He has shared with us, through His Word, everything we need to know to have the best life possible, and as we wal

"I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! John 15:9-11. Jesus desires that your life will be filled with His love, peace and joy. He is the embodiment of love, peace and joy, and as we choose to walk in His ways, we'll find an inner pea

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. John 15:7-8. When you decide to walk with Jesus, He'll start to stir your heart for what stirs His. It's His desire that you should bear much fruit, as a witness to His faithfulness in your life. He'll prompt you to step out as He knows that you are capable of so much more than you gi

For the Scriptures say, "You must be holy because I am holy." 1 Peter 1:16. Being Holy does not mean being a "goody goody" but rather following in the ways of Jesus. When we make the decision to follow Jesus and to do things His way and not our way, we'll experience a supernatural shift where Jesus comes to live in our life. He'll make a way in all things to resolve past issues that need resolution, to bring restoration and forgiveness, and to fill the longings of our heart.

Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning. I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:11-12. God chose to reveal himself to us through his Word, the Holy Bible. This is where the infinite reveals himself to us who are finite beings. This is something that could not come from ourselves, but from God, w

My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galations 2:20. We were never meant to live life alone without God. We can't change things on our own, but with Christ living in us, all things become possible. If you take a troubled person from one environment and put them in to another, the problems that are on the inside will soo

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32. It is not enough just to know the truth about Jesus and His teachings, but we must obey and walk in that truth. It's only in the doing and walking in God's truth that we'll truly find freedom. When we walk in His ways, burdens will be lifted, chains will be broken, and God's hand will be

Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home." He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith. Mark 6:4-6a. A lack of faith can hold you back from God's best for your life. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Some people may think God can heal my soul but not my body, or think that God can only deal with spiritual

Then he added, "Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them." Mark 4:24-25. God's Word is like treasure to your soul, it gives life to your spirit and hope to all who find it. God's Word is a roadmap for our daily

As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?" Luke 8:23-25a. Is Jesus in your boat? He wants to calm the storms in your life.

Jesus replied, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers" Then he looked at those around him and said, "Look, these are my mother and brothers. Anyone who does God's will is my brother and sister and mother." Mark 3:33-35. When we follow Jesus and walk in His ways, we become a part of His family. It's not enough to know about Him, but we need to walk in His ways to truly understand all that He has for us. The roads of life can be dark and twisted but when we walk in God's ways a

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Psalm 37:7a. The Lord's ways are not our ways and nor is His timing our timing. There are times when we try to force God's hand and we become disappointed when He doesn't do things our way, or in our timing. But He sees all things that we can't. He looks not only to change outcomes, but to also change us through the process. As we wait patiently on Him, we recognise that He is the great way maker, who ca

A man with leprosy came and knelt in front of Jesus, begging to be healed. "If you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean," he said. Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. "I am willing," he said. "Be healed!" Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed. Mark 1:40-42. Jesus is willing. He is willing to meet you at your point of need, if you ask Him. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Don't think you're not worthy, or that

Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life. If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer. Proverbs 9:11-12. Wisdom is one of God's greatest gifts to us. If we need more wisdom, God said He would give it to us in James 1:5, but we must follow His guidance without wavering, as He can see what we can't. Whilst we can't control what happens to us, we can control our response. Wisdom is patient and listens, i

The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. Psalm 34:17-19. Don't let the troubles of life overwhelm you, God will make a way as you keep close to Him. Don't try to deal with everything at once, but focus on one thing at a time and God will guide your ste

Taste and see that the Lord is good Psalm 34:8a. God is to be experienced. He is not a distant figure of history, but a living personal God who is closer than the air you breathe. When you truly invite Jesus into your heart as your personal Lord and saviour, He fills you with His love that is real. He fills you with His peace beyond words and changes the way you see things. Jesus doesn't want religious observance, but He desires a personal relationship with you, where He will

I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. Come, let us tell of the Lord's greatness; let us exalt his name together. I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Psalm 34:1-4. In our darkest moments the Lord is there. He'll make a way where we can't see a way. As we pray, we can move blockages in the spirit realm that will manifest in the natural. As
