(03/10/2000) Our confession


hello prayer warriors 1. prayer note: our confession [Psalm 54:2] Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. I've learnt a very important lesson, but I consider quite late in my life. I've learned the power of the tongue: [Proverbs 18:21] Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. I have been speaking blesses or curses into my own life, into my relationships, into my business all by myself. Every time I speak negative things and proclaim it and speak despair into a situation, I speak to the situation and to myself and to the people involved. And these words have life-creating power or death-begetting power which I have underestimated. When I finally (when it finally sinked in) understood, I explained this to one of my business partners. I told him that if we said something negative enough times, even if it isn't true, we will believe it and be defeated by our very own words. He understood and we had a change in our views of our business just by changing our words. I heard pastor Joseph Prince ask, "Why are some Christians so blessed and some barely making it through with their lives?" He believes it has to do with what we confess with our mouths. Jesus is our High Priest, your High Priest and my High Priest but here's the catch: [Hebrews 3:1] Therefore, holy brethren, who share in a heavenly call, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession. (RSV) Jesus is our High Priest, pleading our cause before God, but what cause? : ... of what we confess. 2. New Prayer Request i. Please pray for my friends -- guest (Todd Aiken) As my brothers and sisters in Christ, I come to you with an urgent request. I have three friends that desperately need prayer. Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with names nor the circumstances that each one is in, but God knows exactly who they are and what is going on in their lives. Would you please pray for them and ask the Lord to do whatever it takes to show them the wrong of their ways and to turn them back to Him? http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=112&table=prayer&reptable=replies 3. Prayer update i. update on little Jack -- 1111 hi all, little Jack's infections have settled down and are stable at the moment. Because of the drugs being used, a v/v in his heart has reopened, and the blood is not flowing through the lungs. docs have asked for a miracle for the v/v to close so that they will not have to operate. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=95&table=prayer&reptable=replies Please continue to pray for little Jack ii. update on Linda -- 1111 Linda is now walking on her leg, and since having further surgery which removed scar tissue on the main nerve, she now is starting to have feeling down her leg to her toes. Praise be to God. The other knee is popping out regularly and is requiring surgery. But is grateful for everyones prayers. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=22&table=prayer&reptable=replies Continue to pray for Linda, not only for healing but for her salvation. iii. update on keith -- sandy today i recieved news i need to share with everyone!keith told me to tell all of you thanx for all the praying you have done.his most recent test results came back,the tumor has receded to the point that he only needs 6-8 more treatments. the only trouble he has is he needs to gain more weight than what he has.
