Paul encourages Timothy in 2 Tim. 2:22, But flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Today God appoints to us some companions – it is not necessarily the ones that we would prefer or we think “would match us”, but those […]

![When Sarah (who was 90 years old) heard that God promised Abraham that she would have a son, she laughed. Humanly it is impossible for someone that old to still conceive.

In Gen. 18 we see how God came to visit His friend Abraham in a human form, and He spent some time with him to eat together and converse together. Abraham was one who was dealt with by the Lord and he learned the lesson of not being hasty to ask God for things or […]
A Man of Prayer Prays Himself Into God to Receive the Life Supply from Him

![If we sense that our prayer is not bringing us into the Triune God, we should change the way we pray. We need to make sure that we pray ourselves into God! Remove all distractions and focus only on Him. Just be honest with God, tell Him, ask Him, seek Him, and knock on His door. [Picture: Matt. 6:9-10]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/matt6-9-10-your-name-sanctified-kingdom-come.jpg?fit=300%2C225&ssl=1)
The Lord Jesus taught us how to pray in Luke 11:1-13, where we see that for us to be men of prayer we need to pray ourselves into God to receive the life supply from the Father. The more we pray the Lord’s prayer with an exercised spirit, and the more we pray according to […]

For God to accomplish His will, He needs a people on the earth that would pray His will for Him to do it. God doesn’t need only “prayers once in a while, when we remember or when we are reminded by others” – God needs men of prayer. With Daniel as a man of prayer […]

January 3, 2013 by 2 Comments
How can all the Christians on the earth be one? They should be one since they all believe into the same Lord Jesus, but somehow they “hold to different views”, treasuring specific doctrines, and they are all divided. But the Lord desires to recover the oneness of the Body of Christ in practicality by our […]
Being Perfected to Grow in Life and to Function for the Building up of the Body
January 1, 2013 by 7 Comments
Many Christians say, It is the Apostles, the Prophets, the Evangelists, the Shepherds, and the Teachers spoken of in Eph. 4:11 that build up the Body of Christ. I am not qualified, and I don’t know how to do it – that’s why they are special gifts, and they build up the Body, and we […]

The Lord’s call in Matt. 11:28-30 resounds throughout the ages, Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy […]
