CJBRC - April 15th 2009 - Fasting Prayer

Day - 1
PRAY! DON'T LOOSE HEART!

Then He spoke a parable to them, that Men always ought to pray and not lose heart, (Luke=18:1)

The Lord's word states that men has lost their hearts for prayer and hence our Lord doesn't want us to leave our prayers and want us to have or prayers again with an hungry hearts for prayers.

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the end of the earth neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to weak, and to those who have no might. He increases strength, even the youth shall fain and be weary, and the young man shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah=40:28-31)

Bible says,

"Yes, in the way of your judgments, O LORD, we have waited for you; the desire of our soul in for your name and for the remembrance". (Isaiah=26:8)

"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you because he trust in you. (Isaiah=26:3)

"For consider him who endured such hostility from sinners against himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls". (Hebrews=12:3)

so god has suffered such hostility, so lets follow him as he is our master.

"And shall God not avenge his own elect who cry out day and night to him, though he wears along with them?" (Luke=18:7)

Bible also explains about how we should pray??

"Pray without ceasing" (I-Thesselonians=5:17)

Why should we pray?

"To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning. the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that he may be glorified". (Isaiah=61:3)

"Instead of your shame, you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion, they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs". (Isaiah=61:7)

Praise the Lord!!!
