Stepping Stone #9
CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE

*psalm 25:21
*Colossians 3:10

Think on things that you want, Do not THINK on things that you don't want.
(think of positive and Godly things not things that I know will tear me down like the images of SI and negativity)

Get note cards or post its and put uplifting things and scripture on them to post all over the house so that I see them and stay close to God.

IDLE TIME IS WHEN THE DEVIL LOVES TO DO HIS MISCHIEF THE MOST!!!
Stay busy even if its reading a book, make sure it's an uplifting book though.

When I think I am going to give into SI I allow that thought to be me and therefore become that thought and give in BUT if I say I am a Child of the Most High then I am and therefore I am and I don't SI.


*psalms 40:8
*jeremiah 31:33
*Ezekiel 36:26

Patience is a virtue-it teaches love

*luke 7:36-50

By waiting and enduring the time to heal it leads us to love and trust God even more.

TRUST HIM!
(as I do this study the more I'm seeing it says trust him . Trust . Trust trust .. is trust possible? I'm still seeking God and I really want to trust Him. I guess it takes time)

*romans 8:28
*psalms 37:34 travel steadily along His path.

Habits are made and broken in a 40 day period time frame.

*Hebrews 6:10-12
*1john 4:8

Transfer the passion of old habit into serving God.

*proverbs 19:24
*proverbs 17:17

If anything interferes with my relationship with God they are closer to God than I am. that's harsh! But so true.

*2 Corinthians 6:17-18
*2 corinthians 1:11
*matthew 18:19-20
*pilippians 4:8

stepping stone #10
PRAYER

ok being honest with myself and God im a little timid about moving forward to stepping stone ten... EVIL FLEE IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS YOU GOT NO ATHORITY AND I AM A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR HOLD ON ME IS OVER. THANK YOU GOD FOR WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO BESTOW ON ME. LORD THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILL. FATHER RIGHT NOW I PRAY THAT YOU BIND ALL SPIRITS THAT ARE AGAINST YOU RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS. LORD OPEN MY HEART TO WHAT YOU HAVE FOR ME RIGHT NOW. LORD THANK YOU. AMEN.


Psalms 130:5

problems can bind you.

sincerity of prayer is more important than how ya pray

prayer is NOT listning off complaints to God, an obligation, one sided, gets better with how long we do it, a broken record.

when praying relax. prayer is unique and different from person to person no one prays the same.

WHO?

who you pray to... trinity

know the three personalities of the trinity

The soul-God
The flesh-Jesus
The Spirit-The Holy Spirit

GOD

Heavenly Father, creator. knows everything about me EVERY EMOTION! when you go astray he disciplines out of love cuz he is ABBA.

JESUS

he is FORGIVENESS. he intercedes if we feel the Lord is upset with us. has felt human emotion understands fully.
*john 15:14
BEST FRIEND

HOLY SPIRIT

comforter, TRUTH, our guide, helper, gentleman... doesnt push or come close unless i say its ok..., leads me if i ask. spirit of JESUS and GOD. he waits to spend time with me. he is my companion my spiritual intuition... he is the voice i hear when i ask for help and guidance :) even if im told not now. HE is my mentor.

*provers 15:8

WHAT?

what is prayer? the way i and other christians communicate with God.
what am i suppose to talk about when i pray? JUST TALK ramble tell him whats up how ya doin what ya feelin ect.
ask about Him what he is like what he wants you to know.. tell him secrets tell him what your dreams failures everything is TRUST HIM.. TRUST HIM... TRUST!! share everything and anything

its ok if you are at a loss of words sometimes .. spend time with God.. he is my best friend.. he knows my heart.

*romans 8:26
*ephesians 6:20
*1 corinthians 3:16

WHEN?

when should i pray... any time i wanna there is no time set for prayin..Father Son and Holy Spirit are 24/7 always there.

*jeremiah 33:3-call and i will shou you things you dont know
*i thessalonians 5:17 dont stop prayin
*psalms 55:17 anytime i cry out to God he hears me
*james 5:16 the more i pray the more i will understand

DONT IGNORE GOD... IM HIS CHILD

WHERE?

where should i pray... pray in secret. in private away from everyone else... where its just me and God

*matthew 6:6

pray only between me and God no one else.

*matthew 18:20

*matthew 6:5

*matthew 6:6

WHY?

why should i pray?praise confession request thansgiving and communing

*psamls 150:6
*1 john 1:9
*john 15:7
*philippians 4:6
*psalms 62:8

Do you ever pray with thanksgiving? Thant means do you thank God in advance for the things you ask Him for? When you do this, you're showing the strength of your Fatih and your lack of doubt.(i find this totally cool because i have been doing this lately)

*james 1:5-7.... stop bouncing

*2 corinthians 1:11
*acts 12:5-10

HOW?

how should i pray. pray as you feel led just do it out of sincerity.

ALWAYS ASK IN JESUS' NAME

*john 14:13-14
*john 14:13
*john 10:9
gotta go through Jesus to get to God
*john 16:23-26

GOD'S WILL BE DONE

*1 john 5:14-15

Gods will.. as humans we are selfish so when we want control... God wants us to give him control back to Him so he can do wonders in our lives

*proverbs 19:21
*1 john 2:17

if we dont allow God to be part of our plan then our plan is on the wrong path.

*psalms 20:4

commit(trust) in the Lord and everything i plan will succeed!

*proverns 16:3

*jeremiah 29:12-13

LISTEN WHEN I PRAY!!!!!

ways people effectivly prayed in the Bible:
*psalms 5:3-look up
*psalms 95:6-kneel before the LORD
*daniel 6:10-he kneeled upon his knees three times a day
*1 kings 8:54-kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaved.
*1 timothy 2:8- pray every where, up holy hands, without warth and doubting
*luke 22:41-keeled donw and prayed
*acts 9:40-keeled down and prayed

*matthew 7:7(i was given this a few days ago when seeking God)
*matthew 21:22

*mark 11:22-25

*1 peter 3:7

*matthew 5:43-48

other ways to offer prayer is by keeping a journal and writing love letters to God or just a simple prayer.

*john 15:2

*luke 18:2-8

*psalms 37:34
*romans 8:26-27



this study today really gave me an insight on prayer.. i know its important but i really never looked at is as i should have.. im so glad God is working in me and through me .. YAY GOD!!
