Walking in the Wisdom &Guidence of the Holy Spirit

Father, in the Name of Jesus, I realize that as a believer, my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. My acknowledgment of Your presence on a daily basis makes my faith in You effectual. I believe that You, heavenly Father, are leading and guiding me by the Holy Spirit through my spirit, and illuminating my mind.

As I yield to the Holy Spirit, I believe that my steps are ordered of You, LORD. I commit and trust myself wholly to Your guidance, expecting You to cause my thoughts to become agreeable to Your will, so plans will be established and succeed. I trust in You, LORD, with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. As I acknowledge You, You direct me in paths of righteousness.

I confess that as I become more God-inside minded, I can more easily recognize the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. I hear the voice of the the Good Shepherd, and a stranger's voice I will not follow. I am aware that my spirit is the candle of The LORD.

I meditate in The WORD day and night, not letting it depart from my mouth. I test my inward witness with The WORD, for the Spirit and The WORD agree. I am quick to act on The WORD, as well as the prompting of my spirit. I am not a hearer only, but also a doer. Therefore, I am blessed in all my deeds.

Stayed late at work today, got a phone call from a friend that cheered me up!

I'm chatting with a friend now who is going through a tough time because of the holidays.

I'm going to copy this from a book I'm reading.  You get to read it for free lucky you!

                                    The Prayer of Petition

                                                by Kenneth Copland

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. " (1 John 5:14-15)

  "The key to having your prayer s answered is this: Make sure you pray according to the will of God. The word petition in the verse above is extremely important. It's defined as a formal written request addressed to a sovereign superior for a particular right or grace."

Here's how to put together a petition that's in line with the will of God, a petition that is certain to be granted:

                                                    

1.  Go to the Written WORD of God   Find scriptures that apply to your situation and make those the foundation for your petition. Be specific.   
2. Consult with the Holy SpiritGet in communication with the Holy Spirit and let Him help you develop your petition in detail. Pray in the Spirit (Romans 8:26-27)
3. Put it in writing.  On the spaces provided, write the verses you find that apply to your situation so your request is grounded in The WORD. 
   
4. Base your prayer on His promises.
5. With God's promises in front of yo, pray the answer. Pray these promises from His WORD over your situation. You can be confident that God will answer your prayer because it's based on the promises He has spoken directly to you.
6. Praise God for the answer. Psalm 8:2 and Matthew 21:16 say that praise stills the enemy and the avenger. This clears the channel between you and God so you can receive from Him!

Hope you enjoy!
