Come on God, give me a break!!' the man pleaded. 'Two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!'

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

Prayer in the Spirit (Tongues)
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

Ruth Ryan, wife of Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, had one moment she looked forward to in her husband games. In Covering Home she writes: “It probably hapened the first time on the hight school baseball diamond in Alvin Texas, in the mid 1960’s. Then it happened repeatedly for three decades after that. Inevitably, sometime during a game, Nolan would pop up out of the dugout and scan the stands behind home plate looking for me. He would find my face and grin at me, maybe snapping his head up on a quick nod as if to say, There you are; I’m glad! Id wave and flash him a smile. then he’d duck under the roof and turn back to the game. It was a simple moment, never noted in record books or career summaries. But of all the moments in all the games, it was the one most important to me.”

“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
At the 1997 Brickyard 400 NASCAR race, driver Lake Speed saw firsthand how God answered his prayer. His car had been having engine problems, and waiting to make a qualifying run, he waited in frustration because his car wouldn’t start. Meanwhile he prayed. Finally his crew chief Jeff Buice took a wrench and hand cranked the engine. The car started and Lake roared out onto the track and posted the second fasted qualifying time that day. Victor Lee writes in Sports Spectrum: “Later when speed returned to the pits to get ready for a final practice session, he found his crew tearing out the engine. Shocked he asked what had happened. “Lake that engine was blown before you qualified, noting that it had blown during the pre race inspection. Lake looked under the hood and oil was everywhere. “ I wasn’t going to tell you anything because time had run out. Even if it started, I didn’t expect it to make a lap, let alone make the whole race. Lake’s assessment was “God made a major mechanical miracle. I always pray right before the race. As I sat there and it didn’t start I added to my prayer, Lord I don’t know what is going on here, but if there is any way you can help me with this, I sure would like this thing to start.” Lake went on to finish 12th in the race, his second best finish that season.
God is interested in being involved in the details of our lives. But we have been given a will and dominion in this world, and He instructs us to commit our plans, desires, circumstances to Him (Acknowledge, involve Him)
