Prayer Manifests in the Physical

Prayer Manifests in the Physical

In this post, I will show how prayer (a spiritual action) can manifest in the physical (it can change our physical reality).

Firstly, I need to clarify or define "prayer"

Prayer

- a petition to God

- an earnest request or wish

- the act or practice of praying to God

At the very end of this post is a video about "Prayer Basics" (You can scroll to the end or click HERE if you would like to watch that video).

Remember that our struggle is not in the physical (flesh and blood) but in the spiritual (see verse below):

Jesus said that whatever we ask for in His name (if we say "Heavenly Father, in Jesus name I pray......) then it will happen.  The verse below clearly states that we should be able to do even greater miracles than Jesus did when He was here!

(click HERE to read "God's Power Inside Us Means No Fear of the World Outside")

Everything that Jesus did was requested in the spiritual realm but the change occurred in the physical realm.

(click HERE to read "By Your Faith - Jesus' Miracles")

Here is the controversial issue - WHATEVER we ask for shall be given to us.  Well, that is not very Christ-like is it?  That would be like - "I want this and I want that."  

The Scripture passage below clarifies that dilemma.

Nobody should seek his own good but rather put others first and help them in their needs.  Selfishness is never constructive or beneficial.

It is very difficult to know exactly how to pray because we often cannot fathom the amazing answers to our prayers that God has planned.  The Holy Spirit intercedes for us and uses the spiritual language with groanings to convey what is truly in our hearts (see Bible verses below).

Also, in the last verse below we see that the answers to prayer are in the physical - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him".  The phrase "in all things" means that we see results/answers both in the physical and spiritual realm. 

In Ephesians chapter 6 where it talks about "Becoming a Christian Soldier," we read the same thing about "praying in the Spirit" (see below).  Prayer really is our most powerful "spiritual weapon."  (click HERE to read "Becoming A Christian Soldier - PRAYER")

Also, notice in the verse above the last part about "always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." - keeping focus on others rather than being selfish.

Answers are not always instantaneous (they can be but not all the time) - we need to pray without ceasing - pray continually (see below).  Plus, being joyful and thankful prevents us from always complaining.

Focusing on joy and on being thankful prevents the downward spiral of depression and despair.  See Scripture in the picture below.

(click HERE to read "Fill Your Mind With These 8 Things")

I want to end this post touching on "abundance".  I recently saw a commercial talking about "manifesting abundance."  Well, that is so wrong because abundance that truly satisfies can only come from God.  Multiplication and increase comes from our Heavenly Father and not from the "universe".

Prayer is talking to God and that will mean unimaginable changes in our physical reality.

Rooting Blackberry Runners for a New Blackberry Plant (with RECIPES)

Rooting Blackberry Runners for a New Blackberry Plant

This year my blackberry patch has been sending out so many runners.  I thought I'd share a very easy way to root these runners so that you can start a new blackberry patch or give one to a friend.

You will need a large pot and some potting soil.

In the picture below you will see that I highlighted the runner in the left picture, so that you can compare it to the right picture.  These runners are very long.

 

Take the end of that runner and plant it into the filled pot (filled with potting soil).  Plant the end about 4 inches deep.  Water every few days (if it has not rained).

(see picture below):

You will notice that right after you plant it the leaf clusters are facing down towards the dirt. (see picture below):

After about 3 weeks you will notice that the leaf clusters are now growing upwards.  That means that the runner has rooted. (see picture below):

Cut the runner with snippers about 2 feet from the base of the runner in the pot.

Allow the new plant to grow in the pot for a couple more weeks before planting in it's new permanent spot.

ENJOY!

By YOUR FAITH #4 - Being Sure of What We Do Not See

By Your FAITH #4 - Being Sure of What We Do Not See

This post is the fourth part in a series called: "By Your Faith".  In this series we will be going through Hebrews chapter 11; studying the faith of many prophets and other important Old Testament people.  Today is the introduction to Hebrews chapter 11.

Our topic today is:  Being Sure of What We Do Not See

In our Bible study today, we will be focusing on just the first three verses of Hebrews chapter 11.  These verses are quite deep.  Take verse 1 (see below), faith is being certain of what we do not see.

I always look at different Bible versions and found an old 1805 version that has a sidenote about faith - it is quite good (they sure had long sentences back then and seemed to use commas much more than we do today):

"Faith gives a sort of present subsistence in the mind to, and a confident expectation of future blessings, which, by the infallible promise of God, are as fully ascertained and realized to the believer's comfort, as if he actually possessed them.  And, merely on the credit of divine revelation, it gives us a clear and convincing a demonstration of invisible things as if they were ever so plainly exhibited to our natural sight."

Verse 2 is talking about some of the most important Old Testament men and women of faith.  We will be studying each one in the coming months:

Abel

Enoch

Noah

Abraham (and Sarah)

Isaac

Jacob

Joseph

Moses

Rahab

Gideon

Barak

Samson

Jephthah

Again, here are the sidenotes in that 1805 Bible - this time about verse 2:

"For, by this realizing and evidencing exercise of faith, our godly ancestors all along from the time of the first promise till now, obtained an honorable testimony from God, part of which is contained in his Word." 

We touched on verse 3 in the introduction to the Frequency series (click HERE to read: "Energy, Frequency & Vibration #1 - God's Power")

God spoke everything into existence.  See verse 3 above - the worlds were framed (other Bible versions say "formed") by the word of God.

Below is the note about verse 3 from the 1805 Bible:

"Though, from reason and observation, we are obliged to conclude the wonderful fabric of this world to have been the workmanship of God, yet it is by faith in his Word, as the evidence of things not seen, that we certainly know that God formed all things by a mere act of his Will, and that in such beautiful order, out of the mere chaos once covered with absolute darkness."   

We learn in Isaiah (see Scripture below) that God's Word shall accomplish what it is that He desires:

That is why it is so important for us to speak God's Word out loud.  (click HERE to read: "Energy, Frequency & Vibration #2 - God's Word").  It is still God's Word even if we say it and it will still accomplish what God desires.  

I will end today's post with a quote from "Corrie ten Boom": 

"Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible."

Corrie ten Boom
