Pray for both

charijee:
Both at the same time? ....I know you're familiar with the Bible, so tell me something

emmyskies:
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

JeffreyJamez:


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

charijee:
How can you ask for both on a particular matter?

JeffreyJamez:


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......

daveP:
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.

missed ya

charijee:
And on that same matter you can't ask for God's will to be done?

charijee:
I got something there

Missed ya too davie, fam house seems to be on vacation

daveP:


yeah. blame sch partially. il peep there soon though.


hope what you got answers what you seek or you need more expounding?


(listening to Handel's Messiah)

Wouldn't mind you throwing more light on it

Oh how I love Handel's collection.
Thought you're done with school

charijee:
Noted
You're saying in clear language that without being filled with the Holy Spirit, it's hard to discern

Weah96:


LOL, an enigma wrapped in a puzzle when common sense will do.

emmyskies:

Common sense doesn't count on things of the spirit. Sowwie to burst your bubble.....

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

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

@ 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?

Timmmy:
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

charijee:
I get your point, having God's will to prevail over ours is the key, although it seems somewhat difficult

Weah96:

I can see that nigga. Thanks for your time.
