Prayer Email archive: (08/10/2000) Wisdom while waiting |
Hello prayer warriors,
1. Prayer note: wisdom while waiting [Ecclesiastes 8:3] Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. Sometimes we are hasty to make decisions and to run after some things that pleases us, and we do not pause to seek God's face. That was what happened to Joshua in [Joshua 9:1-15]. The people of Gibeon wilfully deceived Joshua. [Joshua 9:4-6] 4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up; 5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. 6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us. When Joshua saw that the garments were old and the bread was mouldy, he believed them and made a covenant with them. He was deceived because He did not seek God for this decision. We cannot afford to be hasty many times in our lives because our hastiness can cost us a lot of heartaches later on. All wisdom belongs to God and He wants us to seek His face especially in our finances. If we lack financial blessing, seek His face, find out why, find out what is the right thing to do next. Let Him guide us in the decision for our job, for our business, for our projects. Do not first make up our mind. God's ways may be different from our ways. [Joshua 9:14] And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord. We talked in the last email about waiting on God for strength for the breakthrough. Let us not just wait on God for strength only, but wait on God for direction as well. Do not be led by circumstances but be led by the Spirit of God. [Romans 8:14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 2. New prayer requests: i. Pray for me -- semaj thankyou , I am grateful to have found you .

I am also having major surgery done on Aug. 23rd & would like your prayers for a successful surgery & rapid recovery. Many thanks, & may God Bless you. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=300&table=prayer&reptable=replies iv. Martin -- guest Please pray for my ex-boyfriend Martin. He was extremely verbally, mentally, & emotionally abusive to me... The problem... Well I have been feeling that if he treated me this way that he is also treating others this way. I had a dream the other night that someone was reaching out to me (literally holding my hand) when I awoke there was a man sitting on the edge of my bed he resembled Martin but he had black hair and Martin has strawberry blonde hair. The reason why I am writing here is that I do intercessory prayer & I was thinking maybe God was telling me to pray. I saw Martin & he appeared distressed. I felt like I was holding his hand. Several months ago I had a dream that Martin had stated that he was going to commit suicide. Several weeks later I discovered that it was true! Please pray for Martin. I do forgive him that he hurt me so much. I know that anybody that could hurt someone as much as he hurt me has to be hurting themselves. Even as I type this prayer request, I myself am receiving healing. I still love Martin -- I know that may sound sad to some. But I still do care for him. Though I would never put myself into this sort of relationship again. I do believe that I can pray that God can heal him. Please join me in praying for Martin. God Bless all of you as I choose to lift up your needs as well. Believing that God will supply all of your needs according to his riches and glory through Christ Jesus.
