If you are like me, you have been around prayer all your life but have never been taught how to pray. There is no simple how-to or structured process taught by any of the institutions where it is beneficial to hold such a training course. Prayer is our most potent weapon, after all. Amazingly, so few know how to use it.
Jesus gives us precise instructions on how to pray. Let's review them.
What is one of the hallmarks of a well-grounded Christian? A grateful heart.
According to Meriam-Webster, grateful means: appreciative of benefits received or, put another way, pleasing by reason of comfort supplied or discomfort alleviated.
What does it mean to be grateful?
It doesn't seem to matter where you live today, governments and the general population seem to be turning against Christians. Any other religion is mostly tolerated, but not Christianity.
In the United States, Christianity is largely mocked by those in places of influence. This movement has gone world-wide in the last 2 decades.
What are we supposed to do as Christians when governments start to make policies and laws that are against the Bible and God's commands?
It's difficult to go through your life and forget to go to work. You have a job to do so that you can make it through life. The bible is filled with verses that warn against not working and being lazy. Do you know what your job is as a citizen of Heaven if you are saved? You are an ambassador! It is your job to get as many people to become citizens as you can before you are called home. How have you been doing at your job?
How are we, as Christians, supposed to approach people that want nothing but what is evil? The world seems to become more and more evil by the hour.
How to use End-Times Prophecy to Make Disciples and strengthen your faith. Our job as Christians is first and foremost, the Great Commission - Matthew 28:19-20.
Are you struggling to find joy in the midst of life’s chaos? Jesus promised us a joy that cannot be shaken—one that goes beyond temporary happiness. But how do we access it? In this post, we’ll explore what true joy looks like, why it matters, and how you can experience it daily, no matter what challenges you face. Don’t let the world steal what God has already given you—discover the joy that lasts! ?✨ #FindingJoy #FaithOverFear
This is one of many such warnings in the New Testament about being ready for Jesus' return. The days are getting confusing - "clergy" telling believers that the rapture is a Biblical myth, that (despite the Bible clearly saying otherwise), that Christians will go through the Great Tribulation and days of judgement just as the rest of the world.
When the world is shouting from both sides of the road, demanding that you pick a team, remember this—Jesus never ran for office, never carried a protest sign, and never told His followers to take sides in earthly battles. His only cause was the Kingdom of God. So while the world argues, stand firm in faith, hold fast to the Gospel, and remember: the only banner worth waving is the one that points to Christ.
If it feels like we’re living through a new chapter of Revelation every morning with our coffee, you’re not alone. But instead of doomscrolling and complaining about the state of the world, James reminds us to do something radical—be patient, pray, and actually help each other stay on track. Jesus is coming back, but until then, we have work to do. So, less grumbling, more praying, and definitely more reminding our fellow believers that drifting away isn’t an option. The time is short, but God’s mercy is still at work—let’s not waste it.
This is amazing information in a very good outline!
