Prayer

God’s assignment for you.

1 John 5.14 And this is the confidence (boldness) that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will (assignment), he hears us: And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Mt 7.21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will (assignment) of my Father in heaven will enter.

Mt. 6.7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: Pray this way: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Winnies- they talked but never listened for marching orders.

James 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. 15 For you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Romans 12.1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

A mind transformed finds it easier to live out God’s will.

Why should we be in the center of God’s will?

2 Tim 3.1 This know also, that in the last days perilous (violent) times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent (lacking self-control), fierce (untamed, animalistic), despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady (reckless), high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.

Why we need to know our assignment from God? We need to be able to hear God and be willing to obey Him.

It is where the favor of God is. Vero, here in Bastrop.

Clear direction and ideas for next step. Ps.32.8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go, I will guide you with my eye. (Walking child down a trail with hands held looking ahead)

RV in Franklin and used it to get to Bastrop.

1 Cor. 2.9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
