Prayer without Ceasing ~ Simply as if Breathing

“Think As Jesus Taught.” 
By Oswald Chambers.
“Pray without ceasing.” I Thess. 5:17

"We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. 

If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. 

The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on. 

We are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is. 

Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life. 

Beware of anything that stops exclamatory prayer. “Pray without ceasing,” keep the childlike habit of exclamatory prayer in your heart to God all the time."

********

I loved this devotion. Of course there is more than one aspect to prayer, we were possibly were taught, as I was as a very young Christian: 
ACTS = Adoration Confession Thanksgiving Supplication
This prayer is Supplication, requesting, interceding, pleading, beseeching... and yes, exclamatory!

I think such prayer is like "texting" God, not in a disrespectful or demanding way, but simply a cry for help!

If your child uses poor grammar when they've a really urgent need - do we correct grammar or attend to the need?

Prayer without ceasing, contains a fervency, a spirit of urgency, and even to vocalise it is not needful. 

A breathed prayer.. an ongoing deep, heavy, overwhelming burden for someone contains this breathed prayer.

If we lack this level of intimacy in our prayer life, perhaps we've become rote-like in our prayer.

Performing the mechanics is not prayer.

Prayer is Spirit-breathed, it is not hollow, or a vacuum.

If we see as God sees, we will be burdened, we will cry out, plead for mercy, for salvation for this or aid for that one.

We will yearn, we will ache in and through every fibre of our being.. for this may be an overwhelming sorrow or another such great burden.

To see circumstances or people as God sees, we must feed on the Living Bread, the very Living, God-breathed Word of God. 

In Jesus is life, and life abundant, free for all eternity by simple childlike faith in His sacrifice for us.

Childlike faith for salvation, and childlike heart for breathed prayer to our Father, in Jesus name. 

Such fellowship and prayer gives off such an odour of sweetness that delights the Heavenly Father.

As a dear prayer warrior, Brother Mac said:

"Prayer is Power, it brings about the Mighty Action of the Almighty."
The Lord Jesus frequently drew apart to pray, to commune with His Father.
May we follow His example.
 Give us grace, Lord, thus to do.
******

May our dear Father God bless all who read this. I'm deeply burdened at the moment, as perhaps are you. If you are, I agree with you in your aching heart-felt prayers, at the throne of grace, where we find "grace to help in time of need". (Heb.4:12).

When I read the Oswald Chambers blessing on prayer this morning I wanted to share it. 
We are still HERE, dear ones, because our God has a work for us to do.

The greatest thing we can do is pray.

One for another.

Without ceasing.

For brevity I did not put all in, but its VERY pertinent in its entirety. 
I'm conscious long posts can be overwhelming to some.

The Word Only - Follow Thou Me...

Are my burdens hard to bear, do I want out? 
Let me look to my LORD for my example. 

*****
It pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief. Isa. 53:10

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. John 12:27, 28

Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. Luke 22:42, 43

Being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phil. 2:8

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. John 10:17

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38

The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? John 18:11

The Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. John 8:29

My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matt 3:17

 Mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth. Isa. 42:1

I think as I read these passages afresh in the Daily Light, what really struck me was that the Lord Jesus also suffered 
from the feeling of:  
“I don’t want to... I’d really rather not..” just like me. 

But it’s what He did with those feelings that is for us to follow. 
Is my heart filling me with fear?

"When trouble comes, remember that the God of all comfort is able to carry you through your darkest moments and deepest fears. 

He promises that one day He Himself will wipe away every tear from our eyes (Revelation 21:4). 
Strengthened by this assurance, we can confidently trust Him with our tears now.”

By Bill Crowder in Our Daily Bread (9th May 2019)

In God is light, hope  and peace in the midst of the depth of any trial, for we are never, ever alone. 

May we in the depths cling to the cross, and in the deep pain of heart let us remember the cost of the cross. 

Lord bless dear ones, I lift all who read this that the Lord God will be their Guide, Comfort and Strength. He faileth not.

The Light Shineth in Darkness

Dear ones,

Read these verses on today's  calendar and thought they ought to be shared.  Especially in light of our post on Dwelling in Thick Darkness. See last post. These verses have always been  a great blessing to me.

I hope they are to you also.

From "Daily Light" calendar  by  Bible Truth Publishers. 
Hymn below is the one quoted at end, "Turn Your Eyes Upon  Jesus" ..

In God is light, hope  and peace in the midst of the depth of any trial, for we are never, ever alone. 

May we in the depths cling to the cross, and in the deep pain of heart let us remember the cost of the cross. 

Lord bless dear ones, I lift all who read this that the Lord God will be their Guide, Comfort and Strength. He faileth not.

P.S. I am praying on doing a sequel to Dwelling in Thick Darkness as there was too much for one post.  If Lord wills.

Dwelling in the Thick Darkness

Darkness is a time, a season for drawing near to our God, of testing trial, grief of heart, ill health and the many varied burdens of the flesh.. 

Perhaps our usual understanding of God is as God is Light. "I am the Light of the world" was one of Jesus’ seven "I am" statements in gospel of John.

John 8:12 

“I am the Light of the World: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.”

Praying much over this topic, I’ve been seeking where the Lord would have it go.

******

The following verse in my daily reading was the trigger of the topic. The timeline setting is at the time of building of Solomon's temple..

2 Chronicles 6:1

..." said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness."

“Thick darkness” , this seems a contrary description of the LORD God, Who went as a pillar of cloud in the day before His people, and a pillar of fire in the night ... I also immediately thought of a number of references elsewhere of those who “sit in darkness”, some shown below.

Psalm 107:10-11

"Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:"

Isaiah 42:6-7

"I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, .... for a light of the Gentiles;

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."

Micah 7:8

"Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness,the LORD shall be a light unto me."

Luke 1:76-77,79

(Zachariah, John’s Father, speaking of John, the Baptist.)

"And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto His people by the remission of their sins,

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."

********

Curiously in these verses there is a real progression.

Psalm 107 speaks of those in darkness as consequence of their (our) sin.

Isaiah 42 presents the hope ... opening of blind eyes (an aside:- this is a good verse to claim for salvation, etc of loved ones).

Micah 7 (a verse I’ve loved for decades) ... when in darkness there’s light! Rejoice not my enemy... I shall arise..  though in darkness, the LORD shall be my light! Joy indeed!

Luke 1 refers to Christ and His work upon salvation, He will guide our feet in peace. Peace brings contentment, contentment leads to joy.

Yet even in a saved, surrendered, rejoicing Christian walk following the One, Who is the Light of the World, there are periods of the darkness of the valleys. 

We can’t always live on the mountaintop, the valleys are needful.

One thing I’ve really realised, God dwelling in darkness does not mean He has darkness in Him. 
God dwelling in deep darkness merely shows God is omnipresent.
******** 

And so for us in period of darkness,
there is a purpose in God's plan for us. 

O, may we be teachable in this dark valley. 
There is rich treasure here, spiritually. 

We will never learn this on the mountaintop of good times.

As stated in introduction:

Darkness is a time, a season for drawing near to our God, through the testing trial, grief of heart, ill health and many varied burdens of the flesh.. 

https://youtu.be/1-fFQ47wxeA
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art;
Thou my best thought, by day or by night;
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father and I, Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
.......
O King of glory, my victory won;
Rule and reign in me ’til Thy will be done;
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall;
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
******

Drawing near to God ... this is what the valleys are, times of drawing near .. learning afresh to trust, rest in Him ... for the LORD “dwells in deep darkness”. 

He is there in the midst of our heartache, our grief, loss of loved one, health, financial security, etc.

We are not alone.

“Lo, I am with thee alway, even unto the end of the world.”

May we always recall, when in Darkness... deep darkness, that our Lord is our light.

Praying for each of you in your burdens. 
May this bless your heart as it did mine... 
I pray so.

'Draw near to God, and He will draw nigh to you.'

The Word Only - How Great Thou Art!

Beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness. II Pet. 3:8, 9

My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth.... so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isa. 55:8-11

God hath concluded them all in unbelief; that he might have mercy upon all. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Rom. 11:32, 33

Be instant in season, out of season. II Tim. 4:2

*****
Are you burdened today for a near  or dear one? 
Or  is there some Burden that seems heavy to bear?

We have a Burden  Bearer.
 It is  not WE who need to be strong. 
In my, your, OUR weakness - let us rest in the One Who is Almighty.

He is not blind  to our plight. 

In His time, His way....
******

Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zech. 4:6

Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Heb. 12:2


We have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 4:15, 16

Be of Good Cheer

Prayers slow in being answered?

Oh how this blessed me... 

https://odb.org/2019/05/02/praying-the-distance/

May our faith in our God be unchangeable as He is.

And remember your prayers, which  are in accordance with God's will, will continue in intercession through the Spirit of our Great God... until they're answered. 

Look how long Jeremiah wept and prayed? And his prayers are still being fulfilled for the nation of Israel.

So it is with ours.
Our prayers are not dependent upon our presence here on earth, but upon our faith at the time which we prayed them. 
Faith is the key. 
God answers them now or in decades or generations to come!
*******

Be of good cheer those loved ones will come home, as surely as my dad did after 54 years of prayer. 
Praise Him. He faileth not.

I'm not great at moment... but our God is, so that's all that matters. LORD bless dear ones, comfort, help  and strengthen you with might in your inner man (for these verses click here).

The Secret to JOY?

Was listening recently to a sermon from our church when visiting Pastor Colin Gregory said:
 " the secret to JOY is ABIDING!"

That stopped me in my tracks... Abiding.
It's so often it's an aspect  of Christian walk we know  of.. 
But do I dwell there?

The next day I read through a devotion with the same passage.. Who else but God could do that?

John 15: 10 - 11

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full."

"In thy presence is fullness of JOY.."

Like most aspects of the Christian life, abiding is found by self discipline.
By being in the word, meditating upon its depths, being instant in prayer, in fellowship with the Father  through a seeking  spirit of enquiry, and to be in fellowship with believers in God's house. 
The personal part is first. Without it, the latter is meaningless  and our walk joyless.
Through this abiding, the fruit of the Spirit flows into our life.
Love, JOY, peace ... 

John 15:4-5,7

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Note: "Without Me, ye can do nothing".

How blessed of God we are to live in  a land where we are free to know the Lord as our very own Saviour, read His holy word, pray without ceasing and thus to abide in Him through the Spirit's work, to share Him with others.. may we indeed be women of the word  and burn brightly for Christ all our days.
******
Wisdom From Oswald Chambers
"There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. 
We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed."  
Our Brilliant Heritage, 946

Lord bless and strengthen you in your daily doings, dear ones, trust this mediation upon the word has blessed  you as it has blessed me... if so please leave me a comment .Praying for you all.

Look of Wonderment On Resurrection Morn

Imagine... . 

It's not 2019, but back about 30AD?

What do we see looking down the centuries?
What would I do, if I was in Jerusalem back then?

Would I cry: "Hosanna! to the Son of David", waving my palm branch a week ago?

Or just four days after, would I join the mob crying, "Crucify Him!"?

Would I the next day shout, "..he’s saved others, let Him save himself.." mocking Him, the King of Glory, in those three hours of darkness, along with other scoffers?

******

Or perhaps I dare to hope we'd be one of the women coming early that morning with the spices... 
I truly hope so. 

See.. behold ..

A look of wonderment in our eyes, as we gaze upon a Risen Saviour on the Resurrection morn?

In our imaginings, there are several certainties.
*****

A woman did see Jesus.. thought Him to be a gardener.. let us have a peek with her and refresh our memories with this most joyous scene:

John 20:11-16

“… Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 
 And they say unto her, “Woman, why weepest thou?” 
She saith unto them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.”
 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 
Jesus saith unto her, “Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?”

She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, “Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.”
Jesus saith unto her, "Mary".
 She turned herself, and saith unto him, “Rabboni; which is to say, Master.”
******

The boldness of Mary in this scene really strikes me.
Here is this dear lady standing her ground in the midst of deep, all-encompassing, overwhelming grief!

Jesus, the Messiah of Israel is dead. 

Mary could have thought... 
I’m at His tomb.

I’m just trying to honour Him in His death.

All this is against me.

Isn’t this often like us?

We may think all is awry, our dear one we long to see be saved is still lost, or wayward?! No matter how much I pray, and yearn for it it’s not working! What's the point of all this this prayer, this walk of witness before them, or asking for a job, a place to live, good health, etc... is it all too hard to ask? what does it accomplish? 
Yet our tears are seen!
*****

Yes, she hasn’t given up!

She keeps seeking ..

Suddenly all becomes real - with a single word, the spell of engulfing heartbreak is broken with her name:

“Mary!”

The deep sorrow is no longer!!

“Rabboni, which is to say, MASTER!”

John 20:17-18

"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her."

So let us do likewise. 
Mary ran and told the others. 
They may not have believed (which we see in various accounts).

However their reaction was not her responsibility, nor is it ours. 
We are to sow the seed, and water in prayer.

Faith is believing what God says He can do!

That’s what Mary did this Resurrection day, what a tremendous victory over sin and death our Saviour accomplished.
Joy unspeakable indeed!! 
So let us go forth believing and living for Him, until He comes again or takes us home.

Do you know this Risen LORD Jesus Christ as your very own Saviour?

If you do not or are unsure, please read this post HERE

What a day of rejoicing that Resurrection day! 

Let us rejoice in His Goodness and remember He sees the big picture! and I pray the precious Word blesses you. If it does, please bless me in return in a comment.

Two Thieves - was Good Friday Good for them?

On this sad, sad day, almost two millennia ago, we see three crosses on a lonely hill.. the hill of Golgotha or place of the skull, outside God's chosen city, Jerusalem. 

We read this in each of the four gospels, inspired by the Holy Spirit, penned by four somewhat unlearned men (with the exception of Dr Luke) is the Good News or Gospel story. 

They each share different views, for example the seven sayings of the Lord Jesus, whilst hanging in great pain and torment of spirit upon the cross, aren't shared in one gospel. The different sayings are shared in each of four gospels, but none have all seven.

It's the thieves upon the cross we're considering today. They are mentioned in Matthew 27:38, 27:44, Luke 23:32-43 and Mark 15:27. 

But not at all in John.

The two gospels we look at are Matthew and Luke.

Notice in both Matthew and Luke there's one particular verse linking the veracity of these two accounts. 

Matthew 27:38, 43, 44

Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

Luke 23:32-44

And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. ...
And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God....

 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

This last verse speaks of the darkest hours in human history (total darkness, maybe an eclipse, however definitely manifesting God’s power over His creation). 

In these three hours of darkness, as the Son of God bore the sins of the world and the Father, holy and perfect, turned His back upon His Son, the Lord Jesus bore my sins..

"..my God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?"

Oh, the anguish of that cry by the Lord Jesus! 

Darkness all around, thick and impenetrable. Bodily pain unspeakable, as He fought against gravity for every single breath, as His body weight pulled Him down, emptying His lungs as fast as He pushed up to breathe. Anguish of salvation wrought for me and for you!

His lacerated, whipped back of 39 lashes, piercing thorns upon his crowned brow, nails driven through his four limbs... yet the agony greater than all this bodily pain was the separation from God when He “bore our sins in His own body upon the tree”. 

The reaction of the two thieves sharing in this suffering..

As the scripture says;

One was Left 

One was Right.

There's a real truth in their placement now and then.

Initially they both mocked... and believed not. 

Matt 27: 43, 44 
He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 
The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

Notice here both thieves cast upon Jesus the mocking words of unbelief.

Yet in those dark, dark hours upon the cross one had a change of heart, a lesson for all eternity....

This thief rebuked the other for his mocking of Jesus and said:

 ”.. we justly receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss." 

"And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

This passage proves that works do not earn salvation.

Salvation is by faith alone. 

All his life he walked in unbelief yet with his last breath he calls upon the LORD ... 

I saw this in my dad’s own life. He passed six months ago at 89 years old. Eighty nine years without Christ. His grandfather had the Communist manifesto read out at his funeral and he was brought up as an atheist. However the LORD worked and brought him to affirm 10 days before passing these precious words, “I didn’t believe, but I do now “ to read full story HERE.

What about you? 
Where are you now? 
We can’t earn heaven. 
If we could earn it, Jesus' death was pointless!!! 

"What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world but lose his own soul?"

When is it too late to be saved? 

When we breathe our last breath, as the other thief found out. 
But none of us know when that will be!

One was Left, One was Right 

https://youtu.be/fM_bP25WKoY

As the question is asked:

One was Left, One was Right. 

Which one will you be?

So for one of those two thieves, it was a GOOD day that Friday all those year ago, it was so very good for him for all eternity.

May it indeed be good for you too, as the day when our salvation was bought by the Saviour’s precious blood.

May God bless you all, and thank you 😊 if you kindly leave a comment to encourage  me.
