Prayer & Fasting

Many times we are faced with situations (or better said, demonic forces) that seems impossible for us to conquer, we question God, ourselves, even others but never seems to get the answer we are looking for. Believe it or not every answer we need is found in the word of God. Sometimes we find ourselves fighting a losing battle all because we choose not to apply His word to that circumstance. Listen, if you are suffering with a headache you should have enough power to command it to leave, on the other hand if you are suffering with a life threatening Condition, Struggles, Tests or Trials beyond your control, then St. Matthew 17:21, and St. Mark 9:29 gives us the remedy on how to defeat it. ( 2 key words) Fasting and Prayer. We must know when, where & how to channel our Prayers & Fasting. When Christ left the earth he transferred all power to us (his Children) and assured us that greater works we would do than He did but remember he Prayed and Fasted. He didn't just use his gifts all the time to command or demand things to happen. Likewise we need to stay before Him in Prayer and stop trying to be Super Christians using our gifts and talents in every situation, because that will not get you out all the time. This world needs more Prayer & Fasting from us than Preaching, Prophesying and laying on of hands, don't get me wrong these gifts are good in their respected places But Prayer & Fasting is whats going to get us through these rough times.

Practical teaching for a better You.

Let me start out by saying, the Church has made living for Christ a complicated situation. Matt. 11:30 tells us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. It really can be a joy serving Christ, remember Ecclesiastes  says there is a time for everything. (That includes having fun.) God does not require or expect us to always be somewhere praying or reading our bible, there are somethings that man have created for our enjoyment that God has no problem with us partaking in. I know there are a few things that God requires for us to do that will enhance our walk with him, so don't think I am trying to down play that, but I think we are depriving ourselves of living life to the fullest. Proverbs 11:1, 20:23 tells us that a false balance is an abomination, or not good. What this simply means is that you can live save and have fun. LET US STOP TRYING TO BE HOLIER THAN THOU and live life more happier and stable, because if you are unstable you will be unhappy. James 1:8 speaks against a double minded person, you will be unstable in all your ways (decisions, life, relationships, ect...) I want to make the best of this life He has giving Me, how about You?
