Expecting Good

Posted in Expectation, Explanations, Holy Spirit, Prayer, tagged on October 21, 2011| Leave a Comment »

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? … If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? – Jesus (Luke 11:11-13)

Some are afraid to ask for God’s Holy Spirit, afraid to commit fully to Christ — afraid he may require a change too hard or allow an experience too painful.

Not so. Jesus assures that when asked for his Holy Spirit it will be good — not something too hard (a stone) or something which will bite back (a serpent).

How could we expect otherwise.

Rights to Complain

Posted in Anthony Bloom, Prayer, Quotes on October 2, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Anthony Bloom

“If you look at the relationship in terms of mutual relationship, you will see that God could complain about us a great deal more than we about Him.

We complain that He does not make himself present to us for the few minutes we reserve for Him, but what about the twenty-three and a half hours during which God may be knocking at our door and we answer ‘I am busy, I am sorry’…

So there is a situation in which we have no right to complain of the absence of God because we are a great deal more absent than He ever is.” — Anthony Bloom, Beginning to Pray, page 4-5

Purpose to make yourself available to Jesus when there is a stirring in heart; these will be the sweetest times of prayer.
