Prayer Week

I was very excited for this week because every stuff sad this is one of the best week. And pray is a very strong weapon so I looked forward to this week. If we pray, God wants that we pray honestly and that we truly say what we mean Matthew 6.6 sais:
But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
This means we should pray truly and not pray like the Pharisee… And God wants that we pray with all our heart. God wants that we do have a desire to pray, and not only because we have to.
The Holy Spirit give us the us the ability to have a deep relationship. Romans:8.26; 1.Cor 12.11.
Roman 15.30 shows us the hart of God’s desire for us.
Roman 15.30 the hard of God, the desire for us.
1. Surrender.
2. Honest and humility
3. Obedient

• Surrender: we thing there is a lost on or Part. If I trust him I can surrender. Surrender is a opportunity. The things we giving away to have an opportunity to live a real live. A live full with him. Give I God everything? Surrender to give up this right today… Sometimes we start at the very worng point, God is bigger then our being. Do you have the hard to give up and trust God he had anything Bigger. Why should I do this? Want God take anything take away form me? I’m sure not! He will show us more.
Palm 16.11: Sow me you pat of live
• Honest and humility: Sometime we not willing to get broken or we are not willing to do what God wants. Be honest, say I want lie down help me!!! Be real and honest to one another church Christian friends… Sometime we hand the feeling no one is watching. Bi honest to each other. If you not honest with God you don’t get t a real good relationship with God. ( Give up you pride. The first step ho humability is do God on the first place. God loved fist us.
• Obedient: Intermethy leads to be obeisant and obedient drives us to Inermethy. Be obedient in the small things it hand not make sin to us but be obedient. It can be one of the moat enjoyable experiences. Christianity is not easy but he wants an awesome live for us. Do we really love God? If we not in love with God we can’t serve him. Spent time with God and we get to know him be experience. Let it go in the power of God.

Who we are in Christ?
Matt 10.38-41 everything of the situation can say you can’t stay here. But Marry don’t care. She didn’t look what the other taught. She saw sometings in his eyes. A little girl come in the house and sat down on the feet of jesus. She stay long anough till Jesus said she can stay. What is more important that we surve God or that we go to God and love him?
Accepted Grace
To typs of grace
• Power grace
• Accept be grace

Fear of the Lord

Fear of the Lord sounds probably a little bit strange if you hear this word. A most in our west culture. We hear so much from God’s grace, his love … But as I started to read the Old Testament I saw really how powerful God punish his people because he is holly and he will holly people. But trough his grace he saves his people always.
What is fear of the Lord exactly?
I personaly like the image form the double edged sword.


God gave us the free will that means we can do what we want. (Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial 1.Corintians 6:12). But we have the responsibility for what we are doing. For example: David, a man of God’s heart slept with the Bathsheba and killed his husband, but after Nathan said that he is a murder he repented and prayed for forgiveness and God forgiven him but the son from Bathsheba have to die. We have the responsibility for what we do. Because of that it’s very important that we know how Jesus looks.
There are two different views. You can say it’s all good, Jesus paid for my sin and I can continue my sin because of Jesus. But he will not have favor with you because you don’t try to do what he had commanded. The other way is you can repent your sin, you can pray for forgiveness and he will continue to bless you because you have repent and you try to do his will. It’s your choose if you get blessing or course. We can choose what you want whit your fee will James 2.12-13.
The true love is the love “Agape”. This is Greek and means a love who is not based on feeling or circumstance (kindness, faithfulness to conferment. It is a willing love, a love that I have to choose also if I don’t feel like. This I think is very important because we have so a lot of different feelings, sometimes good day and bad times… so we have to focus at anything. This is not only helpful with the love of God also with the love of friends, relationship, marriage …
In the Greek vocabulary you have tow different words for fear
• Pobes: Really fear, guard fear (used in the positive Way)
• Delias Negative, timidity cowardice ( chicken)

God wants us that we have the Pobes, the useful way in the fear of him. God don’t want us make afraid from him, he will lead us, he will respect form us that we do what he says (the same the parents says at the child do not hold you hand at this hot plate because you can burn you it’s the same with God.

Our conscience is or alarm system God speak a lot of what we not should do. What is not in Gods will but our conscience can’t recognize if we a few times ignore it. For excampel if we do anything agnist or conscience we fell bad. The second time it fells less band…

Saul was so focused on the people he had fear of man, he want to be the best, strongest. 1. Sam 15.13 describes how Saul acted against the Lords commandant. He took the best animal back after the battle but God said him he has to kill all animals. So he came into this circle. The biggest enemies were the people they loved him and want to help him but his anger got stronger and stronger against Samuel the prophet he want to help him and say him God will and wept for Saul’s deeds. David, who fought for him and wan a lot of battles and he served him. Also Jonathan his own son.

Hearing God Voice

Evangelism

I was very excited for this week because it’s a order for everyone to go into the world and preach the Gospel. What does this word evangelism mean?
Evangelism ->to preach or bring the good news (Gospel) whit focus on the content.
In the New Testament it’s always refer to the death, burrier, resurrection and witnesses about Jesus Christ, including the implication for the mankind’s relationship with God.
Why should we Go an preach the Gospel? Why is it a commandant? It’s because God loves every person in the world, he loves not one person more or less. No matter if he is good or bad. And he wane live with every person a eternal live in heaven. But God is holly, God hates the sin and a sinful man can not enter in the heaven an this is the reason for this commandants.
There is a spiritual gift for evangelism but everyone is called to preach the Gospel. And sometime I think why I, I have too much fear of man, I can’t do this but the “great” apostle Paul had this fear too.1.Corinthians 2.1-4 sais: I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. This gives me motivation to see I’m not the only one who have this fears, no there is are apostles they gave their live for Jesus but they had also fears.
This verses say also that he didn’t came with eloquence or superior wisdom, he want only tell about Jesus Christ. For me is this also a encouragement because you don’t have to be supper wise, you can tell the good news after you became a Christian. No matter if you know a lot about Jesus or not.
We don’t need this knowledge because God will speak through us. 2.Korinter 7 sais: Everyone will see that the awesome strength comes from God and not from us, this means that God will show his power trough us, that he will speak trough us and that he will help us. This is a awesome promises so if we trust God then he will help us.
The first step we have to do if we go out, is to make a step in faith, this is one of the hardest things. It’s like you make a step in the darkness and we can’t see the ground. We have to trust god that he will speak through us, he will help you. It’s easier as you think. Do it relaxt, do it not under pressure because this is a bad feeling to say I have to but don’t say I can’t do it. God give us so many opportunities, he gave us friends they don’t know God, hobbies whit non Christian people… We have a crazy God and with him we can do crazy thing. Be Creative, and pray about it, were and how you can be a evangelist, our God is the creator form all the creativity. We can everywhere preach the Gospel.
Share your testimony if you make evangelistic, because it’s a really powerful thing (Ref 12.11). Because this personally experience you had and no one can say this didn’t happen or anything like this. This is what you share with the guys they are don’t believe in God and it’s very personally.
Do not be afraid if anyone not wants to hear god or refuse it, you don’t know what’s happening whit this person because most the time they don’t become a Christian if you preach the Gospel once, it’s a process like this graphic.



You can also try to explain the Evidence of God.

I. Creation is the Glory of God. (Rom 1.20) is the whole eart create be chance?
Everything can survive. Fruit to eat, Beard, People, is this made be chance?

II. Nature of mankind. Ecc 3.11. ¾ of man know there is more (religion). We can’t explain the creation (DNA) We are live eternal.

III. The Bible code. It’s a messing Book. There were 66 different writers and the message always the same. Prophesy about Jesus before he came.

IV. Jesus. He was a mean of miracule Matt 11. 1-7 John 14. 9-11. Why would 9 from the 12 apostle give their live? For noting of course not.

V. Signs, Wonders and Miracle. Some people have dream and visions about Jesus and come so to Jesus.

For me are this things also really important before you go to do anything and also while you do it remember at this things:
• Beeing led of the spirit
• Evangelism-> God will give you his Spirit, because you will make a step in fate
• Spiritual Warfare-> the enemy will come to destroy, to bring you to fall (Nehemiah 6.1-9 & 16)
• Pray for: Wisdom, Strength, Spiritual words, Holy Spirit, Blessing, Unity, Gods working in persons
