Exclamation Point Prayers!

Exclamation Point Prayers!

“When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching (Matthew 22:33).”

Prayer causes you to have moments that you describe with exclamation points. There are several one-word prayers to express when the light bulb goes off, and you get it. “Aha!” “ Wow!” “OMG!” You have Divine moments all the time, but when you realize it, you say, “Aha!” God always to you, but when you finally understand what God has been saying to you the whole time, you respond with “Wow!” There were times throughout your life when you experienced Divine intervention or a burst of inspiration, and you said, “OMG! “

The freedom to establish a personal relationship with God in your communication style deserves an exclamation point. There are no religious rituals procedures that limit or govern your prayers. “Aha!” You can pray at any time. There is no set hour that you must pray or any time of day that restricts your prayers. “Wow!” You can pray anywhere (I Timothy 2:8). You can pray in church, at home, on the job, in the streets, or wherever else you desire. “OMG!”

You can pray in any posture. You can pray sitting down, standing up, walking, kneeling, bowing, lying prostrate, with your legs crossed or any other posture that is comfortable for you. “Aha!” You can pray alone (Matthew 14:23). You can pray with another person or with two other people for agreement (Matthew 18:19). You can pray in small groups or large crowds. “Wow!” You can pray with words or in silence. You can pray by writing or singing. “OMG!”

Using the Prayer tool of Writing and Journaling as symbolized by the pencil, describe how your understanding of prayer is growing and changing.

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
