Brother Bill's Articles in Inspiration

What Does It Mean To Pray “In Jesus’ Name?” Do you ever say, "In Jesus' Name, Amen!" very quickly at end of a prayer as if they were either magic words to ensure your prayer would be answered, or have you ever treated them as if they were just the standard thing to say to indicate the prayer was done--sort of like "over and out", "so long", or "later, God?" I must admit that I have done so. My Ebenezer - My Stone of Help I remained sitting there, thinking about what I had just heard. Then, still captured in the moment, I asked God a question. “Father, do you really love me that much?” Immediately, almost as an audible voice but, yet, deep inside me, I felt the Holy Spirit say, “This is how much.” If I had not been sitting I would have dropped on my back to the floor. Got Unanswered Prayers? God Definitely Answered This One Probably each of us is subject to the feeling that, at times, God does not hear us when we pray. I would like to remind you, and myself, of just one of those instances recorded for us in God’s Word where we can KNOW that a prayer for us was definitely answered. Enjoy Yourself Now, why I thought of this old song I'll never know, but it took me on another journey with the Lord into the history of this language that He gave us. Living the Life Lately, I've given the Lord reason for Him to bring the words of John 15:5 to my mind and to read the entire chapter again. In the Christian community we talk about things like "spiritual growth" or "maturity" and the Bible seems to be filled with "DOs and DON'Ts" regarding how we are to live our new lives. Sounds like we've got a big job to do, huh? And these are just a very few examples among many. Are you up to it? Neither am I. New Bible Reader? Here’s Where To Start! Are you a new Christian? Have you just accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord of your life? Are you eager to begin reading the Bible but don't know where to start? Or, maybe you've been a Christian for some years, as I was, and still can't seem to make "heads or tails" of what you read. Maybe you've decided you were going to read your Bible from Genesis to Revelation and then got bogged down in Leviticus. Whatever your situation I've got a suggestion for you: start reading in these books. God’s Supply: What He’s Got, You’ve Got! And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 NKJV I'm thinking today about the phrase "according to." Strong's Greek Lexicon defines this phrase as used in this verse: "by, after the manner of, by any means, beyond measure." We can see that the phrase according to does not mean only that God supplies our need from His riches in glory but beyond measure and in the manner of God! Looking For God's Power? Pray This Prayer For Yourself! For some time, I have made it a practice to reword the prayers of Paul included in his letters. Changing the pronouns to refer to myself (i.e., “at home in my heart as I trust in him”). I was delighted to find a book about the prayers of Paul that contained all of them already reworded for my use and for use in praying for someone specific. No, these are not “vain repetitions.” I do not pray them as “rote recitations” but as heartfelt, mind-involved prayers of my own. How Much Does God Love You? If You Only Knew! There is a song that causes both my wife and me to think about her late mother every time we hear it. It reminds her of childhood memories of Christmas. Her father was a shift worker and would be on “graveyard” on Christmas Day arriving home about 7:30 am. My wife and her brother could not open their presents until their father came home. Their mother would “ooh” and “aah” about their presents generating great excitement. If she could come back, we can see her doing the same thing about heaven.
