PETITIONS IN ABSOLUTE FAITH

Good morning! My name is Charlotte and I am writing to help us grow in God and give our first thoughts to the Lord.

Check out the praise and worship music videos. These are some new songs we will be learning at church.

I John 5:13-15 says this:

THESE THINGS HAVE I (JOHN) WRITTEN UNTO YOU THAT BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD; THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, AND THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE ON THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD.

Two verbs in this verse to take a look at ..... that you may know and that you may believe.

So, what do we hear from this verse????? Are you a believer of the Son of God?????

If you are a believer, then this is for you. We not only can know that we have eternal life, but also that we can believe on the name of Jesus.

The next verse says: THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE THAT WE HAVE IN HIM, THAT, IF WE ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARS US; AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEARS US, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT WE DESIRED OF HIM.

3 John verse 2 says BELOVED, I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS THAT YOU MAY PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH, EVEN AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.

We know then that it is God's will for us to be well and prospering. Anything that sets itself against us to make us not prosper is not from God. And He surely wants our souls to prosper.

We make our petition known unto God.

If we hire an attorney, that attorney will make a petition to the court.

For instance:

PETITION THE COURT OF FAULKNER COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT

Methodist Hospital vs Jackie Smith

Jackie Smith owes Methodist Hospital $25.26 and Methodist Hospital wants their money.

(It is honorable and right for Jackie Smith to pay $25.26 to Methodist Hospital because she owes it.)

Judge enters decision: It is so ordered that Jackie Smith pay Methodist Hospital $25.26 by the end of 30 days.

Welllllll! THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE!!!!! We make our petition known unto God. Keep a list of your exact petition that you have requested of God. Leave a space for His decision and the date of His reply.

And don't decide ahead of time what His Will is because that is God's part. Your part is to make the petition in faith.

Hold your shield of faith and BRING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST (2 Cor 10:5)

WE CAN HAVE MIRACLES TODAY JUST LIKE WHEN JESUS WALKED THE EARTH. THE THING THAT HINDERS US IS OUR LACK OF PETITIONS MADE AND FAITH TO WALK OUT THE PETITIONS.

Lord, remind us to exercise our absolute faith in You every day and to make our petitions known unto You and teach us to wait on Your reply. In Jesus name we pray. AMEN (which means it is done)

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Charlotte
