I was just looking through my notebook I use in church. There was this page I wrote down about a topic in our last service; I believe it was this November 11, 2007.

The topic was taken from the Bible ACTS 9: 20-25

It was about Saul who was preaching Christ in the synagogue and that he is the Son of God. The people around him became annoyed when he was preaching. Thinking how he knew too much or how did he know all this stuff. Why do they get annoyed when all he was trying to do was spreading the good news of the Lord?

Some people tend to judge other people just because they have a lot of things to say. Let us not be such a quack here. Sometimes we do think that we know better or no matter what he says, we’re still going to do what we feel like doing. No matter what they say...cause this is your life?!!

But you know what? It takes courage to know Jesus and to preach about Him. You don’t have to go to Bible school to be a disciple. Becoming a disciple requires discipline not just desire. Because discipline protects desire to make what we speak and act godly.

It takes a disciple to hold a rope. When someone is trying to demolish our church, someone out there is ready to get injure himself and grasp on the rope to protect it. Thank God for Rope Holders.

Thinking of all the trials and adversities I've been through, I can say that one reason I survived was because of my prayers. If I hadn't prayed, probably I would be sick or locked up in a mental institution. Years have I spent waiting for the right time when God will listen to my distress and answer all my requests. But there was a time when I questioned myself If I’m doing it right.

"Do I Know how to pray?"

"Am I asking for too much?"

When we pray we usually start with asking God for what we want. The first step to prayer is : that we must believe that there is a God. We should trust his presence and knowing that whatever you say…HE HAS THE ANSWER ! In short, we have to receive Him and know that he’s there.

“Ask, and it shall be given unto you…” (Matthew 7:7-11)

We all know of these chapters in the Bible when God made the universe. He made man and took him to the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it as it was it’s own.

When God helped me in my life, I am asking Him to help me accomplish what he told me to do: To be strong and be patient. For whatever obstacle that comes our way. We are confident enough to deal with it.

We have to know what we're asking for. When we have a problem, you will notice that God doesn't usually give us the solution. He gives us ways on how to handle it. He gives us the power to surpass whatever storm that comes our way. For He will not let us fall because he knows our limits. He never lets us down.

We might ask for something else....but, he has better plans for us. FAR BETTER THAN WHAT WE ASK FOR !!!
