@drtonyevans We do need to be specific when we praying.
But I can’t resonate with this idea: Omniscient God doesn’t know what we are asking if we aren’t specific.
Of course He knows but His knowledge doesn’t remove my need to pray specifically. His Spirit intercedes as well! Romans 8:26
Something that people often overlook when they think about the birth of Jesus is that the beautiful Child born in Bethlehem and placed in a manger was born to die.
It’s hard for us to think about the fact that those soft baby hands would one day grow into the hands of a strong Man with spikes driven through them.
It’s hard for us to think about the fact that the little feet of the baby Jesus would one day be nailed to a cross of wood, and the little forehead of the Babe in the manger, so loved by His mother, would one day be crowned with thorns.
But know this: He came with a purpose. He didn’t come to this earth simply to show us how to live a good life and give us the greatest teachings that humanity has ever heard.
Nor did He come merely to perform miracles and show us the truth about life. Jesus Christ did that and more.
Yet He was born in Bethlehem with the express purpose of going to a cross and dying.
From the moment He arrived on Planet Earth, Jesus Christ lived in the shadow of the cross.
He was born to die so that we might live.
The Bible will tell you what’s going to happen often before it happens. All you and I are watching in history is HIS STORY working itself out. #Prophecy
Just saw a Walgreens employee singing to the piped in music. She was singing into her makeshift microphone, a water bottle, as she walked down the aisle.
One’s attitude can be chains or wings.
Forgiveness is not pretending like it didn’t happen or it didn’t hurt. That’s lying. Forgiveness is the decision to release a debt regardless of how you feel.
The worst day in history is the day we now call good. Only God.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” // Isaiah 53:5
