Decizii si destine

Deciziile noastre din prezent ne influenteaza viitorul si vesnicia; mai mult, ele nu ne influenteaza doar pe noi, ci si pe cei din jurul nostru, si chiar mai mult: si generatiile care ne vor urma noua.

Se poate trai o viata de integritate si caracter intr-o lume intesata cu uraciuni si manjita de minciuna, coruptie, destrabalare, si ura fata de DUMNEZEU si de tot ce e sfant si pur, curat si nepatat?

Raspunsul este: DA!

Da, exista oameni care au trait asa si au demonstrat ca acest lucru este posibil...chiar este posibil! Si cu siguranta ca persoana despre care va fi vorba nu este singura....sunt multi multi pe care noi nu ii cunoastem dar care au trait o viata integra si placuta aducand glorie Celui Preainalt chiar si in ultimii ani ai vietii lor!

Va invit cu mare caldura si bucurie sa gustati in detalii viata de biruinta si de integritate traita de Daniel intr-o lume cat se poate de destrabalata si plina de uraciune si idoli si de pacat.

De asemenea va mai invit si va provoc sa calcati pe urmele exemplelor si a eroilor puse in Scriptura, sa invatati principiile si sa vi le insusiti, sa va avantati cu curaj in viata pe care DUMNEZEU a planificat-o in cele mai mici detalii pentru voi, sa dati drumul fraielor de la carma vietilor voastre si sa le puneti in mainile pline de bunatate si indurare, pline de mister ale DUMNEZEULUI nostru, si sa gustati din viata pe care a pregatit-o El pentru voi! Iar acest lucru mi-l spun in primul rand mie si de aceea l-am si scris ca sa imi fie foarte clar ! :)

Iar o melodie minunata...The Kry - I believe in You! Minunata! :)

What Jesus Did! - Model Prayer

So when you pray, you should pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, we pray that your name will always be kept holy. We pray that your kingdom will come, and that the things you want will be done here on earth, the same as in heaven.

Give us the food we need for each day. Forgive the sins we have done, the same as we have forgiven the people that did wrong to us. Don't let us be tempted (tested); but save us from the Evil One (the devil).'
- Matthew 6:9-13 (ERV)

THOUGHT:

Much has been written about Jesus' model prayer. Rather than something to be blindly recited, this is a short guide for disciples on how to pray. The prayer easily divides into two parts: first, we recognize the inestimable greatness of God, and then we recognize our dependency upon him.

As the previous verses indicate, God is our Father whom we can approach freely as Father, while at the same time revering his holiness. The first three petitions ask God to accomplish his ultimate will in our world and reveal his holy purposes to all people.

The second three acknowledge our need for sustenance, forgiveness, and strength to face the rigors of daily spiritual and physical life. Bottom line: prayer doesn't need to be eloquent, but reverent of God, penitent before God, and dependent upon God while approaching him with confidence as his children.

PRAYER:

Holy and tender Father, I pray that you exert your power in our world and work your will in irrefutable and glorious ways. I trust you to fill my daily needs as I depend upon your mercy and grace to forgive me and empower me to forgive. May my life be used in your service to accomplish your will. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Look! You are our father! Abraham doesn't know us. Israel (Jacob) does not recognize us. Lord, you are our father! You are the One who has always saved us! - Isaiah 63:16

But Lord, you are our father. We are like clay. And you are the potter. Your hands made us all. - Isaiah 64:8

You pray to God and call him Father. God judges each man's work equally. So while you are visiting {here on earth}, you should live with fear (respect) for God. - 1 Peter 1:17

The Lord's Prayer

What Jesus Did! - Few Words are Needed

"And when you pray, don't be like those people that don't know God. They continue saying things that mean nothing. Don't pray like that. They think that God will hear them because of the many things they say. Don't be like those people. Your Father knows the things you need before you ask him.
- Matthew 6:7-8 (ERV)

THOUGHT:

The Stoic Philosopher Seneca made fun of the pagans of his day "fatiguing the gods" with their prayers. Jesus warns his followers not to follow the same course. Senseless babbling and the heaping up of repetitious phrases do not win us an audience with God. Prayer is not about magic formulas or fancy speech. Prayer is about our confidence in the Father's knowing us and responding to our needs. Under this understanding, our words don't need to be special or effusive, just heartfelt and genuine!

PRAYER:

Holy and righteous Father, thank you for hearing my simple words that come from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for blessings. Please forgive me for my sins and guard me from evil. Use me in astounding ways that bring you glory! Empower me to do your will. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Related Scriptures:

"You people will raise your arms to pray to me--but I will refuse to look at you. You people will say more and more prayers--but I will refuse to listen to you. Why? Because your hands are covered with blood. - Isaiah 1:15

Be very careful when you go to worship God. It is better to listen {to God} than to give sacrifices like foolish people. Foolish people often do bad things, and they don't even know it. Be careful when you make promises to God. Be careful about the things you say to God.

Don't let your feelings cause you to speak too soon. God is in heaven, and you are on the earth. So you need to say only a few things to God. This saying is true: Bad dreams come with too many worries, and a fool with too many words. - Ecclesiastes 5:1-3

{You are not like God}--you are evil. But you know how to give good things to your children. So surely your heavenly Father will give good things to those people that ask him. - Matthew 7:11

What Jesus Did! - Seeking the Father

"When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites. The hypocrites love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners and pray loudly. They want people to see them pray. I tell you the truth. They already have their full reward. When you pray, you should go into your room and close the door. Then pray to your Father. He is there in that secret place. Your Father can see the things that are done in secret. And he will reward you.
- Matthew 6:5-6 (ERV)

THOUGHT:
In almost every place you go and visit with Christians, there is a deep, underlying conviction: Our walk with the Lord, our life of discipleship, our power over sin, and our love for God would all be greatly enhanced with more time in prayer.

Without realizing it, a culture obsessed with privacy finds its most intimate and private gift, prayer, lived out in public more than in private. Prayer is about developing a relationship and dependency upon God as Father, not about being seen. Prayer is about seeking God, his will, and his grace, not about gaining a reputation or a set of admirers. Jesus is reminding us that God has sent us an invitation to visit with him in prayer. To give up that for the approval of the crowd is not only shameful, Jesus says it's damning.

PRAYER:
Abba Father, I want to know you and experience your attending presence. Forgive me for the times I have prayed in ways that drew attention to me, or to my "piety," instead of focusing on my relationship with you. Time in your presence is such a gift!

Thank you. I find it unfathomable that you, the King of Ages and Creator of the World, long for me to come into your presence. Thank you for hearing me. Thank you for giving me such an awesome gift. Thank you for your Spirit who intercedes for me when I pray. Thank you that I can pray with confidence knowing that I will be heard because of the mighty name of Jesus, through whom I pray. Amen.

Rom. 8:26-28
"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter.

He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. "

" They sang a hymn and then went directly to Mount Olives. "
