I’ve read the prayer requests and replies and have prayed, yet I have sensed that we need to be reminded that we are not victims of life’s circumstances. And, this prayer forum is not for the purpose of propagating self-pity or for focusing our attention on the problems, people, and tragedies of life. Its purpose is to elicit agreement in coming before the throne of God, in the name of Jesus, by His Holy Spirit and to pray in faith with no doubt that God hears and answers our prayers.
We have the power to overcome the flesh, the world and the devil. When we bring our prayers before the Almighty God of the Universe, will we not then rise up in faith to receive His answer? Jesus never brought anyone chicken soup, commiserated with them, or left them in their helpless and hopeless condition. He simply said, over and over again, “Arise and walk; Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house; Little girl, I say to you, arise; Arise, go your way, your faith has made you well.” He never left anyone in a mess, but they each had to exercise faith and then take the next step to overcome.
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
I don’t want us to dump down in the flesh in this forum; we need to raise a standard, rise up in the Spirit of the Lord, and make a difference.
2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
