Daily Huddle - Sun Nov 10, 2019 Every Mention

Love you all, praying for you.
 
God’s Word always challenges, it always conforms, it always confirms, it always clarifies, it always commends.  Praying that you are continually drawn to PRISM throughout the day. Jesus the Word – will reveal the knowledge of God,  and the knowledge He has for you!  God challenging me recently…  Psalm 109:1  O God whom I praise, do not remain silent, for wicked and deceitful men have opened their mouths against me with lying tongues, with words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.  In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.  Wow, what a statement - in heavy times, trying times.  The first word out of his lips was praise.  He spoke to God and himself.  He can’t mention God without praise.  Every mention of God – was connected with praise.  He is praising before requesting.  He is praising God when God hasn’t said anything for a while, when God is saying nothing – or God is saying but he isn’t hearing.    When he can’t hear Him – when it seems like God is remaining silent – and now he is facing attack from the enemy.   Injustice is come against him, betrayal - even of friends, those he poured into – turn on him.  But he’s praising the God who does not remain silent.  And no matter what it seems like around him, what God is doing or not doing yet… he says, But I am a man of prayer – who praises and petitions, and persists.  What a weighty thing to say.  But I am a man of prayer.  Can I really say that?  Can you really say that?  Why don’t people pray?  1) They are too busy, or 2) They believe it doesn’t work.  They’ve tried it before and God didn’t give them the answer they wanted at the time they wanted it.  “Master, if only you had come, our brother Lazarus would not have died…  Do you believe in prayer or not?  Do you pray for the answer you want?  Or do you pray for the answer He wants?  Do you praise? Or just go to asking, complaining and worrying? - Have you ever prayed the worrying prayer? Is that how you pray?  Do you ask in faith - believing?  Do you ask for His will or your own pleasures and preferences?  Do you ask according to His Word, or according to your will? Are you in PRISM - His Word - enough to ask according to it?  Are you too busy to pray?  What are you doing instead of praying?  Striving?  Relaxing? Entertaining? Sinning? What would make you a man of prayer?  A woman of prayer?  Will you?  Praying that in PiVAT before dinner – you would ask God what time today He wants you to set aside to pray.  Not only ongoing conversation with him, but focused time to praise, petition, and persist – that Holy Spirit led – fervent effectual prayer that avails much.  Praying that every time you mention God – it is connected with praise.  Praying that God may lead you to the PRISM Topic Packet – Prayer.  His Word is always encouragement, inspiration, and instruction.  Praying that you won't miss your Daily Call - you will grow in prayer every day!  Your prayer will change - you will change!  You will grow in the Holy Spirit praying through you!  Praying that God will draw you and pray through you – so He can avail much.  Prayer changes you, then it changes things.  It lifts burdens – it builds your faith – it brings peace – the prayer of faith brings healing – it brings joy – it casts your cares on Him because He cares for you, and the Holy Spirit will reveal what your Father cares about – so you can join him in it.  Praying that your every mention of His Name – will be connected with praise – that you will know what time today - He is leading you to pray -  and every prayer He leads you to pray – you will pray in faith believing - so He avails much!
 
Love you all
