DONALD TRUMP GAVE ME A MIRACLE !!

I had been troubled for years about the ever-increasing influx of Chinese tour busses pulling in and out and parking right next to the Dag Hammarskjold Park. They’re so noisy and congesting and poor little Robin was being terribly distracted!

FINALLY, I prayed to be guided in my feelings and their expressions. I heard this in my spirit: “Think about the people!” (Now, Papa knows that I have always been an incurable people-lover.) What people? We’re all so inconvenienced. What people do you mean, I queried. There was silence. In my spirit. Stone, cold silence. Then, I got it!! The Chinese people!! A flood of liquid love poured out all over me and, when I looked up I saw a whole busload of them taking pictures of THE TRUMP WORLD TOWER !! (picture below). Without losing a beat, I said to them “Tsugi na Daitorio!” (“Our next president!)

Every Chinese person in the group smiled and laughed and made me their new BFF (best friend forever)!! I don’t know what in the world I found so irksome before, but I do know that love always wins!

The Lord’s prayer is not a new covenant prayer for the new creation. This is simply because it’s an answered and fulfilled prayer after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The disciples of Jesus wanted to Him teach them how to pray just like John did for his disciples. This prayer is a fulfilled prayer because :

1. Our Father is currently living in us and not only in heaven. Jesus and the father have come to make their home in us.

2. His kingdom has already come and it’s in us. It’s called the New Covenant. God’s kingdom is within us.

3. His will has been done on earth as it is in heaven. His will was for Jesus to die and establish the new covenant in His blood and abolish the old covenant . He has taken away the old and established the new.

4. God has given us our daily bread, Jesus Christ (the bread of life) who was broken for us on the cross. The true manner has been given to us.

5. God in Christ has forgiven us all our trespasses not because we forgave those who trespassed against us but because Jesus shed His blood for the eternal remission of our sins.

6. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever is “To us is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. This is because God has shared His kingdom, power and glory with His sons and daughters forever.

You can still choose to pray this prayer but just know that it has been fulfilled by the cross.

Prayer is simply an exercise in which the already real and true, but undiscovered, becomes discoverable by the one praying. I don’t just meant this in the sense of discovering what Christ has made real, etc., but simply what is true of life, the spirit, ourselves, the world, and our circumstances. There are spiritual realities, as well as things about the inner workings of our hearts that we are usually unwilling to be honest about in the normal course of life, that we discover in the silence, sometimes violence, but honesty of prayer.
Prayer is not magic, sanctified sorcery, or the act of holding God hostage until you get your way. It is simply a space in which things that are true can be seen and discovered.

This is meant for mature believers only –
God doesn’t operate in this world in the conventional, human sense. When we practice the Presence of God, this causes the world and all of it’s calamities to dissolve. We are not changing our world, but rather shifting our beliefs into a world that already exists that more closely represents the Kingdom of God……..Selah……..

It’s never the words. It’s never the volume. It’s never the frequency or length. Sincere prayerful listening to God will always win!

The very problem that you hate is the greatest opportunity ever – for you to get really, really close to God by -r-e-a-l-i-z-i-n-g- that He (the Holy Spirit) lives on the inside of you. These are NOT JUST PRETTY WORDS !!! . He’s right there, ready to talk to you.

Physical and psychological therapy cannot hold a candle to Turning Unreservedly And Entirely To Jesus.

WHAT PRAYERS ARE DEAL-BREAKERS?
………..(by Dr. Robin Starbuck)

● I will never hang my head in abject humility again and pray as I did in my early years, “Father, if it be Thy will, could you …” because that’s a deal-breaker! . It puts our prayer into neutral. We have every reason to know that it IS God’s will – anytime, anyplace, anywhere – to answer our prayers.

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

● People say Jesus prayed such a tentative prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, but that’s not true. He said that he didn’t want to be made sin/evil and die but that he would obey his Father’s will. That’s very different from saying, “I have no idea what Your will is, so I’ll just wait and see!

Mark 11:24 KJV
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

● So, we need to pray according to His will and we need to believe. “According to His will” is met when we maintain a close, personal relationship with God; and, “believing” is met when we let all of our own stuff go and put Jesus before everything. But, you see, He’s already there. He was never not there.

● “Oh, Lord, if it be Thy will …” is a faith-killer, ergo, a deal-breaker as it saps an otherwise effective prayer of its vitality and credibility.

3 John 1:2, KJV
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

● This is God’s will: His will is His Word. Our being indecisive is what stymies our prayers. “Father, I KNOW it is your will” has many scriptures to back it up. I Peter 2:24 tells us that by His stripes, YOU were healed. Acts 10:38 tells us that Jesus went about everywhere doing good and healing everyone who came to him.

● Matt 8:2,3 tells us of a man who was a leper. He said, “Oh, Lord, if you will … ” But he didn’t have the New Covenant, so he doesn’t count!! Of course, God healed him: He doesn’t pick and choose who He’d like to heal. He healed them all.

INSTANTANEOUS HEALING OF GRIEF
Many years ago, when I was about to graduate from college – it was the week of final exams on the undergraduate level – I received a phone call from my mother telling me that my younger sister had been killed in an automobile accident. Immediately thereafter she said “We must remember that life is eternal.” I knew I had a choice to make in the face of overwhelming grief and shock: I could believe that my precious sister, April, had died. OR, I could believe that life is eternal; but I couldn’t believe both at the same moment. I turned to God in sheer and utter desperation and asked Him to take control of my thinking. He did just that. To my amazement, all the heaviness and horror and sadness and grief evaporated! I was completely free!
Little by little, I began to deal with the “facts” of the so-called here and now. April was now in a place where I could never lose her. What lay before me was to absorb what I had awakened to in the face of everyone else’s grief and try to help whomever I could reach.
I actually took all of my final exams and passed with flying colors. I even embarked on a masters’ degree program that very same week! (That’s what April would have wanted.)
You, too, can be healed of grief. For more than 30 years after April’s passing, I have literally enjoyed the warmth, love, peace, joy, and encouraging touch of April’s presence with me. If this blesses you at all, know this is written just for you and all you need to do is ask God to reveal it to you in a way that you can receive.

……….SEQUEL TO GRIEF HEALED
…………(by Dr. Robin Starbuck)
I just wanted to add a little clarification to my comments about the healing of grief. I never, never, never intended to imply anything about putting the person out of your mind or pretending that he or she had not died. Exactly the opposite! I intended to suggest that it is possible, through God’s grace, to rise above the gnawing, tortuous pain and cherish that person with a closeness never known before and have all the love, caring and sharing that you knew before their passing – and most of all have it permanently. My sister, April, died over 30 years ago and yet I enjoy her presence all the time. God gives us many gifts. My most treasured one is never losing sweet April. Trust God with your loss – with your grief: He will come through for you.

Have you tried everything else
Well-intended advice
Psychological self-analysis
Loving encouragement from friends
Stubborn human willpower
Whistling in the dark
Bible passages till the cows came home
But you can’t quite shake
A lack of forgiveness?
Try this:
See him as Jesus sees him
Perfect as the Father
Having the Christ in him.
Now don’t upset your treatment
Just leave him there.

EXCITING NEWS !! . Joseph Prince has become fascinated with Quantum Physics and its ramifications, especially the known fact that an atom reacts to a person’s merely looking at it!

AND:

Creflo is now distinguishing between the significance of events in the New Testament leading up to the cross and the New Covenant which took place after (or at) the cross.

Guys, they’re watching and reading us! Can’t we show them that we’re not at odds with each other, that we all learn from each other and are not ashamed to acknowledge it? In short, we’re all accountable to the glory of God.

Most important of all, words like “That’s what I’ve been saying for a long time!” or other variants of “I told you so!” should be banned from the lips and pen of any sincere seeker of truth. That attitude is such a buzz-kill to people who are already reluctant to explore new territory. Let’s not scare off potential inductees to the ever-unfolding kingdom.

ON THE SUBJECT OF PRAYING EFFECTIVELY … I have kinda learned to go into a “verbal translation mode” in my own mind when I hear self-defeating prayer; so, while everybody else is wailing “OH, God, if it be your will, PLEEEASE Create in me a clean heart” I’m saying “Thank you God that you have already created in me a clean heart (through Jesus)!” BUT THEN IT HIT ME: What about all the other people who are visibly waiting, waiting, waiting, for God to show up? Jesus’ great gift to humankind occurred at the cross. The method of praying before this earth-shaking event occurred totally pales in the Light of Jesus’ FINISHED work.
