Ask and you will received

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Proverb 4:20-22

A marginal note in a good reference Bible will show that the last phrase of the above text can read "and medicine to all flesh." this means that God has prescribed" His Word for our healing and for our health!
But medicine, even in the natural, won't do any good unless you take it according to directions. You could go to a doctor, get a prescription, have it filled, take it home, set it on your beside table and still grow steadily worse! You could call the doctor and complain, "I don't understand it,. I paid good money for this prescription, but I'm getting worse." The doctor light ask, "Are you taking your medicines according to the directions? "Well, no, not I've got it right here in the bottle at my bedside." The medicine won't work just because it's in the bottle. You've got to get it in you!
And God's medicine (your Bible)"won't work just because you have it on your bedside table. But it will work if you'll get it down in the inside of you into your heart, or spirit. And not just by reading it and and forgetting it; but by mediating upon it until it becomes a part of your inward man.

Our Salvation

Our citizenship is in heaven.
Philippians 3:20

Bless the days of our lives, O Lord, that each day may indeed bring us closer to heaven. Forgive us our sins, and guide us on our way. Help us to appreciate the fact of our heavenly citizenship and to rejoice in your salvation.

During his lifetime Abraham lived in tents and led his herds across Canaan. He had no permanent home, nor did he own any land except for the family burial plot He was stranger, a foreigner, in the land which lived. Nevertheless God promise him that one day his descendants would call the whole land of Canaan their possession and their home
Citizen of heaven are also strangers and outsiders in this world. Here we have no lasting home. Indeed, we are warned not to make too much of things of this world nor to set our hearts upon them. For we have been promised an inheritance far richer and better than anything in this world. As believers in Christ and citizens of heaven, we will have a new heaven and new earth for our home. We walk now on the street of gold. through gates of pearls in the Paradise of God.
We look forward to our homecoming. Each day here brings us one day closer to it. Still we have to be on our guard. For each day also threatens to overwhelm us with its cares and temptations. But we are not alone. Our Lord Jesus is present with us in his word and sacraments. He assures  reassures us that we are the children of of God, and that our name  have been written in the Book of life. Each day we can turn to his word for strength and encouragement. Each day through heavenward and show us how we are to lives as citizen of heaven here on earth. Without the word of God we would soon become discouraged and lose our way. But with its message in our hearts, we are encouraged to look forward and sing his song our salvation

You have Jesus

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God
Romans 10:17(KJV)

Prayer is a wonderful gift from God
Prayer is talking to God we will hold fast what is good this world will overtake us away
Every day you're faced with tough decision and hard choices if you're living for me. It will sometimes feel like you're walking down a narrow road, trying not to slip off and fall into ditch. When we give voice to God's Word on a daily basis, the angels and Holy Spirit work diligently in arranging our prosperity. They see to it that we are led by our spirits to be in the right place at right time so that we are confessing to be manifest in our lives. Always remember that God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant and like Abraham's blessings be yours because of the abundance of the gift of grace that manifest to us through Jesus Christ our Lord. That we never worry that we are alone because God said He would never leave us or forsake us (Deut. 31:6) it means that despite what happens in our lives we will never doubt God's love because He has told us that He loves us with everlasting love (Jer 31:3). As you make these daily confessions, you may feel as if they are not true, but faith comes by hearing of the word of God,  as the song say prayer is a wonderful gift from God and prayer talking to God Lets us confess our faith without wavering, our God is faithful. All His promises is yes and Amen.

Come to Him with Joy

"Say to Aaron: For the generations to come none of your decendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed."
Leviticus 21:16-18

When struggling to understand God's view of our disability; it didn't matter when you read the above verse. We really don't understand it. But then in our struggle we kept searching for answer the true meaning behind these verse. Leviticus 21 is a strict list of dos and don'ts for men  entering the priedthood of Aaron. A priest had to be pure, with no physical defects, because he was a physical symbol of a future spiritual reality an important type of the coming Messiah. God was looking for physically perfect man as a priest to represent the spiritually perfect man of the Lord Jesus. This passage speaks us you, whether you're disabled or not. As part of a "royal priesthood" (1Peter2:9), God welcomes you into His presence, accepting you no matter what your limitations. But when you come before Him in worship, make certain that you are not harboring a blemish of pride or defect of impurity. You may be tied to strict dos and don'ts, but if God wanted Old Testament people to be pure when they came before Him, surely He expect the same of us. Let us run the race in due time we become a conqueror. In Him.

LET US NOT SLEEP AS DO OTHERS

Let us not sleep as do others
1 Thessalonians 5:6

There are many ways of promoting Christian wakefulness. Among the rest, let me strongly advise Christians to converse together concerning the ways of the Lord. Christian and Hopeful, as they journeyed towards the Celestial City, said to themselves, “To prevent drowsiness in this place, let us fall into good discourse.” Christian enquired, “Brother, where shall we begin?” And Hopeful answered, “Where God began with us.” Then Christian sang this song— “When saints do sleepy grow, let them come hither, And hear how these two pilgrims talk together; Yea, let them learn of them, in any wise, Thus to keep open their drowsy slumb'ring eyes. Saints’ fellowship, if it be managed well, Keeps them awake, and that in spite of hell.” Christians who isolate themselves and walk alone, are very liable to grow drowsy. Hold Christian company, and you will be kept wakeful by it, and refreshed and encouraged to make quicker progress in the road to heaven. But as you thus take “sweet counsel” with others in the ways of God, take care that the theme of your converse is the Lord Jesus. Let the eye of faith be constantly looking unto him; let your heart be full of him; let your lips speak of his worth. Friend, live near to the cross, and thou wilt not sleep. Labour to impress thyself with a deep sense of the value of the place to which thou art going. If thou rememberest that thou art going to heaven, thou wilt not sleep on the road. If thou thinkest that hell is behind thee, and the devil pursuing thee, thou wilt not loiter. Would the manslayer sleep with the avenger of blood behind him, and the city of refuge before him? Christian, wilt thou sleep whilst the pearly gates are open—the songs of angels waiting for thee to join them—a crown of gold ready for thy brow? Ah! no; in holy fellowship continue to watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

The Voice of His Word

The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all
Psalm103:19(KJV)

The Angels were created as ministering spirits to minister for those who are heirs of salvation. (Heb.1:14.) one of the ways they minister to and for us is by taking heed to ours words when we are speaking God's Words after Him. If we are giving voice to God's Words of promise, then angels have an assignment to see to it that promise is eventually fulfilled in your my life. They know Jesus said you can have wgat you say if you believe and doubt not. They are to do God's pleasure (v. 21). And God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servants.
