Grace, or divine favor is available for all of you who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Many serve the Lord because they are only interested in what they can get from Him. Listen to the prayers of some people and see how much time is spent in praise and worship in comparison to bringing their needs to Him. I am not referring to intercessory prayer, but regular prayer. Once I wanted to spend an hour in prayer before I went to the 6 a.m. prayer meeting. After spending fifty-five minutes in praise and worship, I looked at my watch and realized it was almost time to leave for Church, but had not brought any petitions to the Lord. The Lord, knowing my thoughts immediately said, “I know your needs, and will take care of them.” Start spending more time in praising the Lord.
If the devil can steal your joy, he can get everything else. He always comes to discourage, never encourage. Truth often hurts, but it’s the lie that leaves the scar. Lying’s a handle that fits all the devil’s tools. Praise the Lord and Satan is defeated.
