When you don’t know what to pray
Don’t let that hold you back
Try praying in the Spirit
And the job shall get done

In words you do not know yourself
In a different tongue
As the spirit gives you utterance
The Perfect Prayer shall come

The Spirit, He will intercede
On your behalf
With groaning too deep for words
Understood, by God, our Father

For the Father knows his every thought
Whether audible or not
So you have no cause to worry
Just pray and it shall be done to perfection
When you pray in the Spirit!!!

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people – (Ephesians 6:18)

The Holy Spirit is our constant assurance of our access to the heart of God. The Spirit intercedes for us and communicates our words and our emotions according to the will of God. Like in all worship, the Holy Spirit fills us, is among us, and participates with us as we seek God. In prayer, the Holy Spirit also empowers and enables us as we pray. Prayer is much more than shouting words at heaven or begging God for help. Prayer happens because of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. God himself, in the Spirit, is praying with us and through us!

Prayer : Father, please hear the prayer I share with you using words. Father, please hear the prayer I offer you that is deeper than words and beyond what my words can convey. Thank you for the Holy Spirit who intercedes, empowers, and makes possible this prayer. In Jesus’ name I thank you. Amen.

Blessings For Obedience

Deuteronomy 28

1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.

2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock— he calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

7 The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

8 The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

9 The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in obedience to him.

10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you.

11 The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.

14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

Faith Like Potatoes

A story that urges you to trust in God with full faith, even when you are in difficult times. This movie is based on a true story of a man in South Africa called Angus, he lived with his family on a farm. When they got there, they started to make friends, but this man was very worried when he heard bad news about the harvest, and other troubles that were happening there. He was tired of fighting in between but he did not want to be defeated.

One day his wife´s friend invites them to the church, where they decide to follow Jesus Christ and then they unleash the Faith as never before. For example: Angus asked God, for a rain to come, even when it was not the time to rain, but it suddenly started to rain, God answered him according to his faith.

Since then he started to believe in God entirely, and devoted himself to preaching the word of God. His first experience was that through a prayer of Faith , he resurrected a lady, and through that miracle many believed in Christ. Angus became a godly man, he loved the big challenges. He asked god for a large stadium to pray for his country, as it is written: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14.

He perfectly understood it, and for that reason he wanted to call everyone to pray for the nation. But before carrying out this faith step, an unfortunate thing happened. While he was driving the tractor, one of the children on board fell and then died. After this Angus felt guilty for not being able to improve the situation. However, he was increasing his level of faith through these troubles.

The fact that we are Christians does not mean that everything will be good for us. God says he will be with us even in the midst of trouble and he will deliver us from all wrong. Angus was still worried, but God kept saying “Trust in me”. Meanwhile he prepared the meeting prayer and planned to harvest the potatoes, even when it was not time to harvest them. The Faith works like a charm. When all seemed to be lost, God said there is still hope. Finally both the harvest and the prayer meeting become grand success. Praise the Lord!
