Praying For God's Will Or What You Want Specifically by charijee(f): 10:37am On Mar 20, 2016 |
So many times we've heard Men of God telling us to pray for God's will to be done in situations we find ourselves. Other times too we're asked to talk to God concerning our problems telling Him exactly what we want . Even in our Lord's prayer, it is written, 'Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven'. So which one do we pray for? Let the pastors and evangelists in the house help to clarify this. Thank you 1 Like |

Pray for both |

You need the spirit of GOD to be able to discern when it is GOD's will and when it's not. Baptism of the Holy Ghost and being Spirits filled is an integral part of our Christian race 2 Likes |

charijee: Yes both at the same time.....his will is different from what you want specifically. |

JeffreyJamez:How can you ask for both on a particular matter? |
Re: Praying For God's Will Or What You Want Specifically by tpiar: 4:25pm On Mar 20, 2016 |
Pray for both if you do not know what to pray about. |
Re: Praying For God's Will Or What You Want Specifically by JeffreyJamez(m): 4:53pm On Mar 20, 2016 |
charijee: On a particular matter, you table your matter to him na, when praying, you will know it's that matter you want to discuss with him....praying to God is like talking to your father..... when something is troubling you,you dedicate that particular prayer to the problem you want him to help you sort...... |

ask in line with His will. now we have the privilege to ask thru prayer ba and He being our Father is bound to answer us. we want a lot of things as beings, material being most of them. now take this angle and ask- Is it all we ask that God will to ans? funny enough this very question is one of the reasons the movie Bruce Almighty was shot. His will is more safe and sure cos he wills no evil for any of his children. we however love to ask like spoilt kids do when they discover their parents tend to be affirmative to all their request. cc: Charijee missed ya 1 Like |

IMO, i think prating for one's will is the best.We cant trust God, we can only believe in him. he can decide to do anything he wants with us, just to teach someone else a lesson. look at Job's situation in the bible, no one wants to suffer like him. That was God's will and no one on earth today can survive such a situation. cc: charijee |
Re: Praying For God's Will Or What You Want Specifically by charijee(f): 7:15am On Mar 21, 2016 |
bqlekan:Now you sound like one of them, atheists. We should trust God in everything. It's God that grants us our will, don't you think He can decide not to In the case of Job, truly no one would opt for that but it was for a purpose, thanks bqlekan 1 Like |
Re: Praying For God's Will Or What You Want Specifically by bqlekan(m): 7:41am On Mar 21, 2016 |
charijee: @ the bolded. that was why I said we should not trust him on doing our will. He can do and undo, instead we should believe him and accept what ever comes to us. let's assume i asked God for a bicycle, putting trust in him to do it before easter. But he has other plans for me, and decided not to give me a bicycle before easter. He didnt just break my heart, he also showed those who never believed in Him more more reason never to believe. But for a believer, i knew that is how He works, and it's for my own good. come to think of it, someone whose faith is not strong enough got heartbroken by God, what do you think will become of such a person? why do you think we have so much atheist nowadays? As a muslim, I believe in God and will accept whatever comes my way even against my will. trusting God is like saying my will is His will. believing God is like saying His will is my will. Now you see the difference? 1 Like |

Its not a difficult thing now. Ask for whatever you want to ask in prayer and when you finish asking your last stage prayer should be "pls Lord let your Will be done in my life and on my request. " then you close 1 Like |

charijee: Don't listen to him, he is a Muslim. Trust is a key factor in our relationship with God. Another thing he forgot is that there is a difference between faith and presumption. A lot of believers walk in presumption thinking it is faith. 1 Like |

bqlekan: Dude, you are confusing faith with presumption. |
Re: Praying For God's Will Or What You Want Specifically by davidif: 6:59pm On Jan 07, 2017 |
bqlekan: Well, like I said earlier, there is a difference between having faith in God and presuming. Check this verse from the bible. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. James 4:3 (NIV) |
