(04/19/2000) Remembering the good things


hello prayer warriors, 1. prayer note: Remembering the good things [Philippians 4:8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. It is so easy for us to remember the bad. It is easier to be critical than to be thinking of the good things in a situation or in a person. The more I read about the children of Israel in the wilderness in the old testament, the more I thought how similar some of my reactions. The children of Israel murmured about the food in the beginning of the chapter, they repented. Then when they felt discouraged along the journey, the more they focussed on all the negative things, the murmuring about the food, the water, the journey and practically everything came back because they allowed the negative things to have the better of them and rob them of their blessings. [Numbers 21:4,5] 4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. 5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. Do we have to be happy only when the situation is perfect? Only when we have everything that we have ever asked for from God fulfilled? Only when this or that happens? When we are waiting for God to bring some of the promises in our lives to past, what should we do? Murmur and complain until God brings it to pass? No, if He has promised, He shall bring it to pass and after we have prayed for the promise, we give thanks continually until the promise is fulfilled. No more pleading, no more murmuring, but thanksgiving. Thanksgiving in Greek is eucharistia which means full of grace. When we give thanks, we enter into grace. 2. New prayer requests: i. For Steven Mahon, brutally beaten -- pauline This weekend in Sydney Australia, Steven, a 17 year old with a bountiful life was set upon by a group of teenagers, 15 strong, and beaten. He was taken to hospital with lead piping piercing his skull, leaving him with brain injuries so horrific, that he would never recover. Yesterday, his parents agreed to cease his life support system. Please join with me in praying that the attackers will be brought to justice, for comfort and continued strength for his family, in thanksgiving for this young man's positive influence in the short time he walked God's earth. May Steven delight in the Lord's House forever. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=147&table=prayer&reptable=replies ii. down payment, please pray -- melissa Hi every one, I hope today is finding all of you well. I am writing to ask you to stand in agreement with me. Today we are suppose to sign the agreement for the house. We were suppose to give the money for the down payment. We will not have it for a few weeks. We have a little bit of it to pay them today but I mean little bit. My husband is doing the loan for them and they need to show that they have the money for the home. We pay our tithes and the word promises to give back ten fold ,so I am standing on that. I believe this house is of God and so some how, some way that money will just show up, my God is a God that supplies ALL my needs. So I ask this morning to please take a moment and stand in agreement with me on this situation. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=148&table=prayer&reptable=replies 3. Prayer update i. Praise Report on Gideon -- Melissa (waihun: this is an excerpt) I am so happy to report that Gideon is doing great! He is gaining weight, taking more milk now and is receiving no oxygen and only on a rate of 7%. When my pink eye is gone I can go up and see him and they have told me I get to hold him.:)) I was told by the doctor to expect Gideon to come home in May. It is so awesome when you give completely every thing over to God. I have to add though, for some reason it is one of the hardest things to do. Thank you for your prayers and things that have been sent to me, poems ( etc.) http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=146&table=prayer&reptable=replies 4.
