RISE AND PRAY ... LUKE 22:46 COMMUNICATION.....PRAYER FORCE WE LIVE BY......LOVE PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FOES.... 1 John 3:17 But whoso hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? Mutual love in the fellowship is evidence of new life. It is based on the love of Jesus Christ, who “laid down his life” in our place. Measuring ourselves against such an example, our heart “condemns us” (v. 20), and our confidence can only be restored by someone greater than our hearts—God Himself. God, who “knows everything,” has proved His love for sinners by the gift of His Son (4:10; Rom. 5:8). Confidence founded on this reality carries with it the assurance that our deeds are also accepted by God (v. 22), and when guilt is dealt with we are released to pray unhindered (v. 22). Confident prayer is a hallmark of the children of God (John 15:7; Rom. 8:15, 16). Psalm 16 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.By the blood of Jesus, in His name, I pray. Amen.
