Desperate for prayer

Hey everybody first I'd like to thank you all again for the prayers you all have prayed for me. I don'twant you to think wwrong of me because I'm asking for prayer twice in one week but my only hope is the awesome power and grace and love of Jesus for my deliverance from my addiction and sin, so I am putting my faith in God and believing that He is hearingyour pprayers. The other day I asked if you guys would pray for my deliverance. I would like to request that again. I also request for prayer to remove any hindrancethat is kkeeping God from doing what He wants and what I want done in me. To pray also for my faith as we all know without nothing can be done. I truly want to believe in ALL OF HIS WORD with the most child like faith possible. I am so hungry to have Him inside me. Please pray for my infilling of the Holy Ghost. Again thank you all so so much.

Re: Desperate for prayer

This might sound stupid but I don't think so. I have been told that I have when I was being prayed for and I tried to speak and when they heard that they said I had the Holy Ghost. I didn't feel like I had it but I wanted it so bad that I told myself I did. Plus I was scared that me doubting it or saying that I never got it that I was going against God in some way. This led me to always feel unhappy inside and eventually I left the church. I know the Holy Ghost is real. I have seen it heard it heard interpretation and such. I absolutely believe that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to salvation. I believe that Jesus is God in the flesh and I love Him. I want so much to love Him more, I want so much more faith, I want as much of Him as I can possibly get. I want my life and I mean everything I do to be pleasing to Him and bring glory to His name. I want to be what I was created for and what He wants me for. I think when I was in church before I was so wrapped up in getting the Holy Ghost that I forgot about God and how He fogave my sins and How much He loves me. I need my Lord.

Re: Desperate for prayer

I think you are on the "WORKS" lane and that can quickly get you on legalism. Looks like you sweating it to get the Holy Ghost, the Lord loved you way before you was born and im sure you understand the message of "GRACE". In His presence there is fullness of Joy not anxiety

Re: Desperate for prayer

So basically if I just praise, worship, and follow/read His word that I will receive it? U r right I have been putting a lot of pressure on it to the point that every time I leave an altar call without it I'm extremely discouraged and almost I guess u could say upset. I just know that it's very empty in my chest and that God will fill it up lol.

If you are not careful you will get a burn out "trying" and the devil will be on the winning end. The Lord loves you just as you are, otherwise Jesus wouldnt have walked among us and even hang on a "tree". Aim to worship Him with you life, not just praising and singing beautiful worship songs, worship Him with you thoughts, wholesome words, at your work place, have a strong relationship with Him. Talk to Him whenever you can, fellowship with fello brethren, and importantly reach out to lost souls. See, when you develop a true relationship with Christ, you now longer need a "to-do" list, He'll speak to you spirit into doing His will. Hope this message speaks to you as much as it does to me. God bless!

Re: Desperate for prayer

Luke 11 ESV:

The Lord’s Prayer
1Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”
2And he said to them, “When you pray, say:

“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread,
4 and forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”

5And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
6for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
7and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’?
8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudencec he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
11What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;
12or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
