I LOVE this post Pastor Mark!! This is one of the best descriptions I've read on how to pray. You could write a book about this ;) Thank you for the powerful reminder to keep PUSHing! Someone asked here a few days ago how to have a more intimate, personal relationship with Jesus.... pray! Talk to Him all throughout the day. Like you said, it never bugs Him. (love the quote from Wiersbe!) Also, if you keep reading on Luke 18:1-8 talks about praying like the persistent widow who never stopped asking the unjust judge for protection. In this parable, she did drive the judge crazy, so he gave her what she asked for. How much more will a loving and holy Father give what is right to His children? That's how we pray too.... never give up, especially when we do not always get immediate results when we pray. TP family, how can we pray for you today? We want to wrap around you..... nothing is too great or too small for Jesus! ☁️🎺🔜

Praying for you Justin. Heavenly Father I pray that you heal Justin from the sickness that has attacked his body. I speak healing over him in the Name of Jesus ; that no weapon formed against him will prosper. I ask that you restore his health from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. May he feel your Presence so strongly and Your Peace that surpasses all understanding. Knowing that You love him and have great plans for his life. In Jesus’s Mighty Name I pray . Love you Justin.🙏☺️ Take care

Oh no Justin! 🤒 I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying for a fast recovery. Wish I could send over my homemade chicken bone broth soup with tons of garlic and curry powder. It literally knocks every illness out the door.😄

Tons of garlic and cccc...(I feel like Jerry's uncle on the old Tom and Jerry where he says "Here kkkkk-Pussycat")

Gotcha brother! And thank you for asking this Kiki!

What's a Kiki? 😳

Expand full comment

Jessie— as you know Steve’s as crazy as a nest of squirrel’s 🌰 but years ago my niece gave me the name Kiki and on the mission field in Uganda they gave me the proper nickname Mama Kiki! It stuck 😂😂 So, that’s what’s a Kiki. Our Aussie mate, Ted named me Karris for the Australian tree! I go by many names lol

Love ya sister! 💛

Awe, that's sweet.😋

And I expect those responses from Steve and would probably be disappointed if they weren't totally insane! 🤪

A Kiki! A Kiki is a Kiki! Where have you been all this time Jessie; makin' chicken curry bone powder with garlic soup? 🤦 It is old Greek for many words: Librarian. Best encourager. Wonderful edifier. Fantabulous teacher....and many more.

It's also the nickname Kari earned long ago in the ministry she does as "Mama Kiki.

😁 (I actually feel like a smarty pants for once!😎)

Gotcha Steve. 🤪 So you're talking about lovely Miss Kari being called "kiki" and it took you agazillion words to explain that to me. 🤯 My old self would tell you that you suck but I would never say that to you with my new more dignified self. 😇

😳... I didn't use that many words! 😡

🤣 I'm laughing so hard right now that the party pooper made a new rule... No TP after 10 PM. 🙄🤔...it didn't stick after I told her she's quenching the Holy Spirit. 😃

Thank you. Seems like these prayers are making mincemeat out of a brutal bug. Almost back to normal really short time. It was so bad for a while it made me start thinking about mortality. My heads never hurt like that in my life.

Did y’all just hear the news— Pastor Jack Hayford passed away. What a mighty man of God! I know Jimmy’s friends with him and also was friends with my dad. What a celebration happening in heaven!! He changed the world.💛 https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/12995

Starting at the moment our eyes open in the morning may we fully surrender all to the Guidance and Help of God the Holy Spirit Living in us to keep us in the center of His Will and let His Light shine forth without our selves impeding as we walk in Faith one day at a time. So grateful that my husband and best friend and I found a RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS THROUGH THE FRIEND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. Religion never taught us how to know God in the Third Person as Friend indwelling and providing Help Discernment and Strength and Comfort and such fullness and closeness. Praise and Glory to PC at Highlands and to The Lamb family and to PJ and PM and all who help church goers KNOW the God most never knew!

CD. My class leader spoke to our ladies today and how the Holy Spirit works in our lives . He lives in us and is our Best Friend. We can cry out to Him with our pain and heartaches and He understands and never condemns us when we have questions. We don’t have to feel guilt , but we knew that the Holy Spirit knows before we even ask Him. His ever Presence is with us every day all the time. Loved your comment. Be blessed in Christ. 🙏♥️ He loves for us to have open hearts to Him.

We so believe in prayer! Never give up. We ask that you would join us in praying for our daughter in law. She claims she is an atheist. She and our son have 3 children. Our son has asked Jesus in his heart when he was a child, but does not teach his children about God or lead his wife to HIM. His is a wonderful father and husband. He just likes to keep the peace.
