Application of God's Word

If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. - Psalms 66:18     How do we have God answer our prayers? Well stated in this Psalm, one way is to make sure our hearts are pure, making sure we are not harboring sin in our hearts.      The Lord wants us to live a holy life, one where from the inside out our lives are in accordance to His word. Yes, we will make mistakes but it's the getting up, learning from sins and being convicted of those sins that are what's important. Everything about us has to be pure so that when we come to the Lord in prayer, He will hear our cries.       The rewards of the righteous and holy are laid out in scripture. Let us strive to bring our lives in accordance with God's word daily. May God continue to strengthen you in your daily walk with Him. God bless you.

Do we truly believe that God is able to answer? Do we trust that His answer—whether yes, no, or wait—will always be for our good? 1. Prayer and Faith Go Hand in Hand Prayer is no...

"Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed." James 5:16 Isn't it good to have a best friend whom you feel like you can share everything with? Share your deepest and innermost thoughts and transgressions? James says here that we ought to confess our trespasses to one another. How hard is that! It may be especially hard when
