Three Principles that can transform your old notions about Prayer into something Fresh and New
Reading Jeremiah 33:1-3 reminds us of another promise God has made to us
*** If you take the first step of calling out to Him, prayer can become an important part of a dynamic relationship with almighty God. Do it Today. He wants to hear from you
Charles F Stanley
1st
God says " Call to Me". He wants to hear from you. His all loving omnipotent heart desires to hear your most innermost thoughts and feelings. He wants to hear from you in the hard times and when life going smoothly. Your sweetest times of prayer happen when you come before Him simply to praise and worship and give thanks for what he has done.2nd
God says "I will answer you". Do you believe that?? You would have to. Maybe you asked God once for something He did not give you, and since then, you have harbored secret worries that he did not hear, or did not care to answer. But God himself says to you "I will answer you" That answer may not take the form you anticipate or come when you desire but he will respond. He might say "yes" , "no" , or "wait". You may not understand the reasons behind his answer but you can trust that they are best for you.3rd
God says "I will show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" You have finite wisdom and understanding; God knows all he knows the big picture; you see merely a tiny piece. When you ask him to guide you, he works to direct you as a part of His higher vision and calling.*** If you take the first step of calling out to Him, prayer can become an important part of a dynamic relationship with almighty God. Do it Today. He wants to hear from you

Table Talk @ The Church Without Walls ...Houston , TX
Let me start off by saying I am a member of a close to perfect church that is growing and leaping beyond our walls and I am so happy to be apart of the vision. Pastor Ralph Douglas West is the greatest Preacher,Teacher and preaches right from the word So don't close your bible follow along....
Last night we read from John 18 : 38 the question Pilate asked "What is the truth?"
As we set at the table to talk and flip through the bible to seek the answer Pilate asked."What is Truth?" Pilate was looking at truth and didn't recognize him. He was in the dark.
We went back to John 1:1 " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"
John 1:2 "He was in the beginning with God"
John 1: 4-5 "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
Pilate ask " What is truth?" Before he asked that question
in John 18:37 Pilate asked "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered " You say rightly that I am king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of truth hears My voice"
John 18:37 "What is truth?" Jesus is the truth let's look at John 1:6-13
God sent a man whose name was John to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.8. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.9 That was the true Light which gives Light to every man coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.11. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.12 But as many received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man but of God.
Recap it is through Christ that we get light and understanding it is through Christ who is truth that we be born again to be children of God.
John 1:14 and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we behold His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.....
So "What is truth?" ...Jesus is Truth
Be Blessed so if you get a Pilate who has a question about our Jesus and about Truth you should know how to answer his question...

OVER AND OVER
Playing it over and over in my head
Why is it that I just can’t seem to get ahead?
My heart is stuck in the past
While my mind and body continues to move
Am I still being naive about my feelings?
Pretending to careless when I really want to be the one
The one he calls the one he loves the one he trusts
If I continue to live in denial this is going to be a mess
I cannot continue to stress I need to progress
I honestly need to charge it to the game
It is not like this is the first time feeling this way
"Tears" said it all but my actions are proving me wrong
Playing it over and over and my head
I’m done I’m through, through with who
Is it true that love is hard to throw out
But what if love doesn’t love you back
Should you continue to sit and ponder?
On could’ve? should’ve? would’ve?
Guess these are issues within me
Life based on feelings leads to disasters
I don’t know but I’m going to be patient
I know my worth I know my heart I know me
I will not settle I will not accept substitutes
I am Shanita but before given a name I was always
And forever will be a Child of God.
I will stand still and wait for what is already made for me.
Facts and faith over powers feelings any day.
