Here are some key Christian truths to pray with and make your own whenever you are wondering how you will get through today/next week/next month.

1.   God is present right in the very centre of ALL your experiences this very day, this very hour, this very moment even as you are reading this.

2.  God is present right in the very centre of any emotional, psychological, and mental pain, and any evil attack, that you might find yourself facing this very hour, this very day.

3.  GOD Desires to Find YOU INFINITELY MORE Than You Could Ever Desire to Find Him!

GOD desires to find YOU far, far more than you could ever desire to find HIM! 

4.   But we all have unconscious blocks that can get in-between the Lord and ourselves.

These blocks make it seem that we have lost God, that we can’t ‘find’ Him.

This happened to me 41 years ago when I experienced a personal trauma and couldn’t ‘find’ God.

In answer to my cries for help, the Lord led me to a holy Christian woman, a trained and gifted Christian spiritual guide, who had pledged her entire life to guiding people towards an encounter with God —including those who couldn’t ‘find’ Him.

As I dwelled in her presence, it became patently clear to me that she KNEW Christ, that she was intimately connected to Him!

She was able, therefore, not only by her teaching but by her very presence to show me a way through my blocks to the Lord I needed so desperately.

She introduced me to a far more direct way of praying and connecting with God. I had not known of this way before. This way of praying allowed the Lord to

• find me
• penetrate my inner spiritual and emotional baggage
• dismantle and heal it

... doing all this simply by enabling me to EXPERIENCE FIRSTHAND, DIRECTLY His unique brand of LOVE —whenever I wanted or needed to!

I want you, too, to know this way.  

You’ll never regret it.

It’s a way that allows you to EXPERIENCE directly, firsthand, one-on-one, without filters —i. e. not just ‘hear about’—the Lord’s LOVE for you —for YOU, not for someone else.

When you pray in this way, you do so silently —choosing to let go of the words and thoughts to which you and I usually resort when praying and pray instead with your entire being, which Jesus and the scriptures call your ‘heart’ (please see # 7 below for how to do this).

5.   It is precisely the sinful, painful, challenging and weak aspects of your humanity which God uses to draw out the blessings, gifts, and benefits that are always found hiding right below their surface.

6.   You grow one moment/one hour/one day at a time!

Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to be patient —first with yourself, and then with God, and then with all the other people in your life.

Here’s the thing:

The Holy Spirit is always on YOUR side!

You can trust that He WILL help you.

This is well worth remembering when you experience times of frustration on your life journey.

Twenty-eight years ago, I faced a totally unexpected and severe family crisis. There were times when it seemed that I just could not make any headway against the relentless, growing evil surrounding our family.

I appealed to the Holy Spirit for help:

If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

                                                   Luke 11: 13 NIV

Gradually, and with the utmost gentleness and love, He helped me to be patient with myself, with God, and with all others.

In other words, with the Holy Spirit’s guidance and support, you learn to allow God to take the lead. You learn to release your worry and impatience, and in this way you give the Holy Spirit the green light to guide you to genuine, reliable, and lasting victory.

You discover the truth of the saying that…

7.   PLEASE Don’t Try to Walk with ONE Foot!

Trying to live the good news of the Gospel and walk the Christian journey without first knowing how to experience God’s love firsthand for yourself —whenever  you want or need to —is like trying to walk with one foot.

When life is going smoothly, you might manage. But when crises hit, it will be just a matter of time before you stumble.

So it’s high time to discover how to experience God’s love for YOU.  You can do this by discovering how to pray with your heart.

This way of prayer ALWAYS gets results.

8.   Contrary to what you might imagine or think, you never stand still on your spiritual journey. You are always in motion. Either you are going forwards or you are going backwards. There is no in-between!

But here’s the thing:

There’s no shame in going backwards from time to time.

We ALL go backwards from time to time.

The important thing is to know how to go forwards again.

Take comfort.

The spiritual life is a constant falling down and getting up again. The path to healing is not a straight line but a jagged one. Each time you fall, you fall a little less deeply; each time you get up, you rise a little higher.

9.   Your Humanity Encompasses Many LAYERS!

Your humanity encompasses many layers.

A significant part of your and my human make-up lies hidden under the surface of what we ourselves are able to see.

There’s always one more layer inside you and me awaiting conversion! 

But don’t let this be a cause for worry.

You see, your ‘standstill’, unconverted layers are no surprise to God.

The Lord knows you better than you know yourself.

Just try to keep as close to the Lord as you can.

Allow Him to convert you layer by layer.

He always does this very gently and with great love! 

Here’s the thing:

You are converted not just once or twice or a dozen times, but at every moment of every day of your life —until you take your last breath and enter eternity.

Only at that point can you truly say that you have ‘arrived’!

 As long as you try to keep close to the Lord, you (and those close to you!) will start to notice bit by bit the fruits of this closeness.

The simplest and best way to stay close to the Lord is to pray with your heart. To discover the 2 simple steps for doing this get MY FREE GUIDE (see # 7 above).

10. Remember: The Holy Spirit is your 24/7 Stand-By Supporter, Friend, and Guide

 

Remember: The Lord has given you the Holy Spirit precisely so as to take complete care of each and every one of your spiritual needs:

I shall ask the Father to give you someone else to stand by you, to be with you always. I mean the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot accept, for it can neither see nor recognize that Spirit. But you recognize him, for he is with you now and will be in your hearts. I am not going to leave you alone in this world —I am coming to you.

 John 14: 16 – 18 J.B. Phillips New Testament

(My emphasis)

Please take note:

The Holy Spirit is also the One who prays in and for you when you don’t know how or what to pray (Romans 8: 26 -27).

11.   The Unparalleled Gift from Jesus Himself in Matthew 6:

Learning to Pray with Your HEART

The way to invite the Lord into ALL your life experiences —both joyful and traumatic —is to pray with your heart.

Discover the 2 simple steps to praying with your heart. Get MY FREE GUIDE (see # 7 above).

When you invite the Lord into each one of your experiences —both joyful and traumatic —you in fact give Him the green light to...

• accompany you
• guide you
• see you through to the victorious resolution of your challenge

This is exactly how you allow God to find you —and this is exactly how you ‘find’ Him!

I can’t stress this enough...Learning to pray with your heart is critical to your ongoing wellbeing —whatever you might be facing!

Why?

Because…

• Jesus himself taught us this way ( see Matthew 6: 5 – 8)

• prayer of the heart is guaranteed to place you in the Lord’s presence in a far more direct way than in other forms of prayer 

• when you pray in this way you experience the Lord’s LOVE for YOU far more fully than in other forms of prayer 

• you soak in His rest (peace) to a far deeper degree 

• These 3 gifts —God’s presence, love and rest (peace)— have the power and energy necessary to accomplish your healing and bring you LASTING victory over whatever challenge you might be facing

12.   Sometimes it might seem that, despite seeking the Spirit’s help and despite your best efforts, you are not making any progress.

It is vitally important to understand that this is an illusion. 

It is NOT true.

Note
It’s important to remember that you have an unapologetic and determined Enemy (Satan) who from time to time will try to convince you that you’re not making any progress.  

You must learn how to stand your ground against him (Ephesians 6). 

13.   When this happens, just return right away to the secure arms of your loving Abba, the Lord. 

He LONGS to give you GOOD things: 

“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹ If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Matthew 7: 9 – 11 NIV

 And He NEVER puts more on you than you can handle: 

And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

1 Corinthians 10: 13 NIV

 

Always remember:

In His great wisdom and love, the Lord heals you gently and with His unique brand of healing LOVE, one small layer at a time.
