David Russel Classical Guitarist

“The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn” — David Russel, Scottish classical Guitarist-

Decision to make?

The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful. – Colossians 3:15 (Good News Translation)

God is the only one who knows the future, ask him to give peace for the right choice (and/or discomfort for the wrong).

Who Will Pray, Now?

Posted in Christ, Forgiveness, God's Plan, Prayer, tagged , , on September 5, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Sons, the report that I hear the people of the Lord spreading isn’t good! If one person sins against another, God will take care of him. However, when a person sins against the Lord, who will pray for him?” — 1st Samuel 2:24-25 (God’s Word Translation)

We have human judges for deciding matters between two people but when the offended party is God, himself, there is no one highter! It’s just not smart to make the God of the universe angry at you!

Once he was mad at you there was no where else to go … until Christ! Jesus loved us enough to satisfy justice on our behalf and bring us into God’s favor.

when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son — Romans 5:10

Who will pray for us?

He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. — Hebrews 7:25 (New Living News Translation)

Jesus!

Sound Bite: Jesus is praying for me!
Prayer: Jesus, you have done what no judge on earth could do, you reconciled me to the God of the Universe! Thank you for continuing to pray for me before the throne! I need it. Amen!

Pray It Forward

Posted in Faith, Jonah, Prayer, tagged , on August 30, 2011| Leave a Comment »

From inside the fish Jonah prayed … “In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me … I called for help, and you listened to my cry … you, LORD my God, brought my life up from the pit” … And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. — Jonah 2:1-10

Notice all Jonah prayed in the past tense (“you answered“, “you listened“, “you brough me up“, etc.) had not yet occurred. He was in the fish when he prayed!

Jonah was praying it forward — thanking God for what God was going to do as if God had already done it.

I hate those e-mails where the sender makes a request then adds, “Thank you in advance…” but God appears to love us praying that way! Jesus said,

“I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for. — Mark 11:24

Instead of just telling God how bad it all is, start thanking him for what he’s going to do about it.

Sound Bite:”Pray it forward!”
