No One Is Greater Than His Prayer Life.I'd like to start with a funny story. A little boy was kneeling beside his bed with his mother and grandmother and softly saying his prayers, "Dear God, please bless Mummy and Daddy, and all the family. Thank you for our home. But most of all, thank you for sending Your Son to guide us on the path of righteousness. Amen." His mother asked him, "Did you ask God to help you clean your room?" He looked up and replied, "Nope, I don't want to push my luck!"Today, we delve into a profound topic: "No One Is Greater Than His Prayer Life." Our anchoring scripture is James 5:16: "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."Prayer Aligns Us with God's Will: The first point to consider is that prayer aligns us with God's will. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, "not as I will, but as you will" (Matthew 26:39). Prayer is not about bending God's will to ours, but aligning our will to His.Prayer Connects Us with God: Second, prayer is our direct line of communication with God. As 1 Thessalonians 5:17 encourages, we should "pray without ceasing." Continual dialogue with God strengthens our relationship with Him.Prayer Invites God's Intervention: The third point to remember is that prayer invites God's intervention. The story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18:36-39 shows us how powerful prayer can be. Elijah prayed, and God answered with fire from heaven.Prayer Equips Us for Battle: Fourth, prayer equips us for spiritual battles. Ephesians 6:18 exhorts us to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." Prayer is part of our spiritual armor.Prayer Changes Us: Lastly, prayer changes us. As we spend time in God's presence, we are transformed into His image (2 Corinthians 3:18).E.M. Bounds, a prominent writer on prayer, said, "Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet." He meant that prayer is a personal, intimate act between us and God, learned not merely through instruction but through practice.Let's pray, "Dear Lord, teach us to pray. Help us to align our will to Yours, to maintain our connection with You, to invite Your intervention in our lives, to equip ourselves for spiritual battles, and to allow the transformative power of prayer to change us. In Jesus' name, Amen."In conclusion, remember that our greatness is not defined by worldly standards, but by our prayer life. May we strive to be great in prayer, for no one is indeed greater than his prayer life.This week, I challenge you to enhance your prayer life. Seek God's face not only in times of need but in all seasons of life. As you do so, you will experience the truth of our theme today: no one is greater than his prayer life.God bless you, and may your week be filled with the fragrance of ceaseless prayers!

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. He is the one of whom I said, ‘A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'” In today's Gospel reading, John the Baptist sees Jesus after he had baptized him. At the moment he baptized him, John recognized Jesus' divinity in what God had revealed to him: “On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.” John gives testimony to Jesus' divinity by saying of him: “A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.” John's recognition that Jesus existed before him must have come at the moment the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus during his baptism. John continues to point to Jesus today as one of many voices of the communion of saints who direct our gaze to Jesus, the Son of God. For John to say that Jesus existed before him is to be aware of God's eternal existence that permeates every moment of this life until the next, where we give glory to God in unending praise. God, help me understand what John the Baptist recognized in your Son. The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, the child born of the Virgin Mary, the suffering servant who died and rose to new life, the Lamb of God present in the Eucharist—He is the one who brings us to eternal life through baptism of the Holy Spirit. Lord, help me see today that you are eternally present in its succession of moments. Give me the grace to receive your presence and the knowledge to make within myself a temple of the Holy Spirit. As Servant of God, Archbishop Martínez said: “As divine love is eternal and its action constant, it is our part to have our heart always open to love, ready to receive the unspeakable gift.” Keep my heart open, Lord! Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Author(s): Murray, Andrew Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In Waiting On God!, Andrew Murray introduces Christians to the concept that we need more of God. We need to “train our people in their worship and to wait on God.” Murray di- vides this instruction into 31 chapters, which are ideal for daily devotions for any given month. With each of his medi- ations, Murray provides accompanying scriptural passages. Like much of Murray's work, Waiting On God!is a book of depth, producing new and important insights every time one reads it.Waiting On God! and the sequel, Working For God are outstanding devotionals from Andrew Murray that will uplift and challenge the believer who wishes to draw closer to God in both devotion and service. Although these daily lessons are relatively short, they are packed with spiritual insight. This public electronic version is based on images of the original publication, undated except for the date (3rd March 1894) by the author at the end of the Preface.
SOUL QUEST: LOVED BY GOD - Second Service by KINGS Connected
Many Christians embrace the Old Covenant command found in Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18 to... “Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength,” and to... “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Loving God first is a heart priority for believers and understandably so. Yet, what if Jesus came with a different command? What if He offered us a BETTER way to live and a greater freedom than we've ever known before? Have you ever considered that maybe Jesus wants us to love God SECOND. I can see the question-marks popping up and the gears turning inside your mind. Jesus said, “We love Him because HE FIRST loved us.” (1 John 4:19). After this episode, I hope you get a deeper and more fulfilling revelation of God's love for you.
Our heavenly father delights in giving us good gifts, we are beneficiaries of his goodness and graciousness. So we walk about expecting goodness and mercy to follow us - we don’t live in fear of evil, but rather we live in expectation of goodness of God to show in our experiences. Yes, there is an active devil roaming around, but there is also a mighty God, favorably disposed towards me. Whoosh!! Good will prevail over evil, the blessing is superior to the curse, so is the power of the blessing over me stronger in determining my outcomes than the plans of the devil. I operate under an open heaven.
Forgetting those things that are behind, press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus our Lord. The god of more than one chance, many chances.

Today’s Scripture reading comes from Ezekiel 24:18, quoting from the NASB: “So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And in the morning I did as I was commanded.” How hard is it to be stripped of one’s most valued possession and be denied grieving rights? God’s relationship with his prophets often defied comprehension. Using them as object lessons in some instances, He asked them to consider obedience of greater importance than even their personal lives. Ezekiel’s commitment and obedience to God are highlighted in a most provocative way. The prophet was to know in advance that his wife would die that day and was to refrain from mourning her. What a struggle it would be to perform one’s duties following a spouse’s demise without betraying the emotion of loss for the one who was “his great delight.” What did God want from Ezekiel? Could God’s response to the declaration of Samaria and Jerusalem’s adultery and idolatry not be portrayed in a less intrusive manner? Much can be learned from Ezekiel’s response. He did not question or bargain with God. Why? Ezekiel was convinced of God’s preeminence in much the same way as Abraham who declared of God, “He can raise him from the dead,” when he lifted the knife to take Isaac’s life. To Ezekiel, God’s preeminence—his first place in judging, offering up for destruction, or extending mercy—did not diminish at the door of personal sacrifice. He was the Lord’s prophet, accustomed to knowing God’s mind and will for the people before the events took place. He had pledged faithful service and determined to get to the end of his service with his integrity in tact. After all, the message he delivered would be compromised by a lesser commitment. The people prized the temple and its activity over the Lord Himself, and God was preparing to strip it away from them. Their lack of regard for His holiness flew in the face of His jealous claim on the whole heart of the people. In what ways do we demonstrate this same carelessness? What gives you greater delight—loyalty to a program, an institution, a promotion, or obedience to God? God has not asked for the sacrifice of the family or called for slackness on the job as demonstration of commitment to Him. God took Ezekiel’s wife as a sign of the reverence and obedience He required of His people. God wants the acknowledged, preeminent position in each of our lives. // Points to Ponder Over the next week, here are 3 points to ponder during your personal time of reflection or with a small group or mentor. First, is there “a delight” in your life that surpasses your reverence for God? Second, has the work of your hands become your sanctuary, full of pride and desire? Third, are you able to let go of the temporal for the eternal good God wants to perform through you? // About the Narrator An Army ROTC grad from Tennessee Tech University, serving both on active duty and in the reserves, Lucy is a retired U.S. Army Reserve LTC and works for the Army's 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell, KY.

Majority of Americans Do Not Believe Jesus is God (Second Coming Watch Update #934) by Daniel Whyte III
Today’s Scripture reading comes from Micah 6:8, quoting from the NASB: “He has told you, O man, what is good;And what does the LORD require of youBut to do justice, to love kindness,And to walk humbly with your God?” How does God speak justice, mercy and humility to you? The issue of Micah 6:8 was that God’s people wanted to know how to placate God. They seemingly wanted to offer Him what did not require a change of heart or compassion on their part. God rejected their offer of materialism and issued His precise requirements of man: to do justice, to love mercy and to be humble. Service done in God’s name is best received when done with a compassionate heart and sincere concern. The people of Micah’s day erred through ingratitude to God, religious pretense, dishonesty, idolatry and the like. The same could be said for the sin of choice today. In view of God’s requirement for justice, mercy, and humility, what does it mean to practice these on a daily basis at home and on the job? Within the confines of a close knit, selfless community, it is not a stretch for leaders and subordinates to express selfless love for those they serve alongside. Let’s face it, when a leader goes out of his or her way to ensure compliance with safety directives and take extra steps to discourage illegal or potentially harmful behavior, that leader is not only practicing justice but is also demonstrating love and sincere concern. The practice of upholding standards discourages one from straying, thus avoiding unwanted consequences. Humility helps the servant leader find balance between justice and mercy. The reminder of God’s requirements to do justice, love kindness and to walk humbly with Him suggests that the people were doing the opposite. Consider the opposing actions to his instructions: lack of justice would result in unfair treatment, unreasonableness, and unconcern for others. The opposite of mercy would reflect a lack of compassion, unforgiveness, and unkindness. Absent humility, one becomes prideful, self-serving, and arrogantly assertive. What is God speaking to your heart regarding the application of justice, loving kindness, and humility? God’s preferred sacrifice is a “broken spirit and a contrite heart.” He rejects self-justification but embraces compassion. // Points to Ponder Over the next week, here are 3 points to ponder during your personal time of reflection or with a small group or mentor. First, what sacrifice of service are you offering God? Second, when was the last time your heart was pricked to demonstrate selfless concern for one who did not deserve it? Third, is God pleased with your heart of service? // About the Narrator COL Laurence Mixon, USA, a 1986 graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point, retired in June 2016 after a 30-year career with the Army and transitioned to an Army Senior Executive assignment at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.

What does it mean for Jesus to be Lord? Firstly, it is not optional. We need to take Jesus not just as Saviour, but also as Lord. How else can we repent and believe if we are not committed to turn from sin and obey God? Second, we need to have no other gods or idols. Third, only Christ sets us free from slavery to sin. Liberation is found in complete dedication to Jesus as Lord. Sin promises much, but only delivers pain and suffering in the long run. But Christ delivers peace and joy.
