TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
What do you need from God
today? A lot of times, it’s easy to think that we’re not supposed to ask for
too much, but scripture encourages us to go to God with all of our needs. He
longs to give you the desires of your heart and pour out His favor and blessing
on you. In fact, Jesus said, “You have not because you ask not.”
Anytime you step out and ask
for God’s favor, blessing or increase, you are exercising your faith. When
you do pray, make sure there isn’t anything in your heart that would block
that faith. Begin your prayers by surrendering every thought and attitude to
the Lord. Ask Him to purify your motives and show you if there is any
unforgiveness in your life. When you surrender everything to the Lord, it
opens the door for Him to move on your behalf. Today, surrender all to Him
and ask for whatever you need. Let Him pour out His favor and blessing on
every area of your life.

The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
