Conversation with God

“If Jesus needed to pray, I need to pray.”

Jesus was given to us by God to not only be our salvation, but to also be our example of a the life that God wants us to live. Pray is a key part of that life. Prayer at it most basic level is communication with God and Him communicating with us. Jesus knew it was important to spend time in communion with His Father.

 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. Matthew 14:23

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. Matthew 26:36

Jesus spoke about prayer to His disciples and to those who listened to His teaching. His parables included references to prayer.

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Luke 18:1

Paul continued the teaching showing us that we should always be in prayer and that there are different kinds of prayer.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:18

Clearly prayer is important to God and should be important to us.

Victory Action

Today I set aside time to spend with God in prayer. I will have a conversation (talk AND listen) with my Father in Heaven. I will also be aware of His presence and fellowship with Him throughout the day.

Count the Cost

“Finishing is more important than starting.”

 

28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?  29Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,  30Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Luke 14:28-30

6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Philippians 1:6

 

Victory Action

I will “count the cost” and make a firm commitment before starting a project, and work diligently unto the Lord while allowing Him to work in me until its completion.

Choose Quality

“Much is not always good; go for quality.”

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:  Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Matthew 13:45-48

We have heard the expression, “choose quality over quantity.” It isn’t always better to have a big quantity of cheap stuff over one quality item that will serve you longer. God wants us to have a quality life. So we have to learn to choose the best thing.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have placed before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants.

Deuteronomy 30:19

Victory Decision

I choose to go for quality, not quantity, in my life.

Acting in Faith

“The action of heaven is waiting on faith on the earth.”

19And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

                                  Matthew 16:19

 11Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

Isaiah 45:11

Victory Action

God is waiting on me to do my part. As I act in faith, God will make things happen for me.

Attitude is a Decision

“To have a good attitude is my decision.”

 

2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4A froward heart shall depart from me:

Psalm 101:2-4a  

Victory Decision

 

I cannot control what others do or say, but I can control my response to all situations. Therefore, like David, I make a conscious decision to have a good attitude.
