Multi-Tasking
on a Biblical Scale
Pastor
T. Austin Huggins, IV of Christ Evangel Christian Fellowship recently
delivered an exceptionally bold and stimulating exposition entitled
"The Kind of Prayer God
Accepts" www.christevangel.org
Joh
15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you,
ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
As
Pastor Huggins developed then unwrapped those vital elements needed
in order that our prayers might be heard by our Creator, I was
overwhelmed by the COMPLEXITY of the SIMPLENESS of prayer. I know
that does not make sense, but, please read further...
Mar
11:24 "Therefore I say to you, all things for which
you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will
be granted you.
We
on the Gulf Coast of the U.S. just dodged a major bullet by only 78
miles when Hurricane Michael came calling this morning. All of us
living in the Florida panhandle had been on pins and needles for days
as this behemoth of a storm approached. It did not disappoint.
My
Brother {in Christ} John, who is also my neighbor, called my
attention to the awesomeness of prayer as God hears thousands,
perhaps millions of prayers everyday, but especially in times of
great conflict or tribulation. John opined that the Father hears
each and every prayer that the Holy Spirit, through Christ Jesus
formats for His ears to hear. Each one. Individually. Thoroughly.
Completely. God then formulates and speaks an answer to those
prayers, according to His will. We marvel at the immensity and
grandeur and unlimited capability of He who created us. Mentally,
this to me is overwhelmingly complex. Read further...
Heb
10:19-22 Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to
enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, (20) by a new and
living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His
flesh, (21) and since we have a great priest over the house of God,
(22) let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of
faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and
our bodies washed with pure water.
This
day, thousands of souls cried out to God in the name of His Son
Jesus, through the Holy Spirit asking to be spared, for relief from
suffering and devastation. At the same time He attended to the
prayers from millions around the globe. Tonight thousands more call
upon God, in prayer just like children calling out to their Father in
times of trial and distress. We are granted direct audience with the
Creator of all that is, and all that will ever be. Almighty God!
The simplicity of prayer and its effectiveness rests in Salvation
through Faith alone, in Christ alone.
Joh
15:16 "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and
appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit
would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He
may give to you.
This
is God's gift to us through Jesus. How special is that?
