Wouldn’t it be better if they could be helped where they are, and learn many ways they can pray for others and themselves? ‘Prayer Minutes’ are designed to help us to pray and encourage us to move forward and pray.
Also - Prayer Minutes can be used in bulletins, newsletters, and newspapers. They have also been recorded in MP3 format for radio use, and in video -- WMV format.

<span style="font-size: 16pt; margin: 0px;">Have you ever been faced with
turmoil that is not of your asking? – Yet you seem to get the brunt of a verbal

<span style="font-size: 16pt; margin: 0px;">When this occurs, those

angry.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In times like these, we need to

To reach people for the Lord Jesus Christ, there is much
preparatory work to be done so that people will be ready to hear and accept
God’s word for them. This preparatory work starts with prayer, asking God’s
help in preparing people’s hearts to be ready to receive God’s word and to
respond to His Love.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></div>

Bless Them that Curse You</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Matthew 5: 44 </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzIf8hf40vg9BGSpOmx7uywf2oBOWQZDWT8ZtRovGhqWYmnXfEkwmI5YUposOINX8Dcf6OoqqFu4yU-MMp47w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
When you have been falsely accused, can you respond in a
manner that says I love you?</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Most of us when falsely accused will respond defensively,
and desire to set the record straight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Is this the way Christ has taught us to respond?</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Christ showed us another way in Matthew 5: 44.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It says: “Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully
use you;”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
This is a difficult command for many of us because when we
are hurt or have been falsely accused, we receive it personally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christ too could have reacted against those
who crucified Him, but He chose to forgive them while He hung on the Cross.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Perhaps we should seek the Lord in prayer for His help in
showing love to others and blessing them through prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consider a prayer like this:</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
‘Father, I ask your help to be able to show your Love
through blessing others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.’</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue;">Our responses in many situations
are what you might call ‘reactionary’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often
these reactions are defensive, and if you took a close look at them, those
defensive reactions could easily become a curse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That brings us to a difficult question, what
would Jesus do?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue;">In Matthew 5:44 He said to ‘Forgive’,
and he also demonstrated this when He suffered the painful cross and said in Luke
23:34 when He said “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue;">It is very difficult to forgive,
but that is what Jesus wants us to do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A
thought about this—does that mean we roll over and play dead?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No—in forgiving we need to pray.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christ prayed to the Father when he was hung on
the Cross of Calvary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need to pray
for others, and for our heart our responding to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We try to fight the battle, but it is best to
start on our <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">knees</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">forgiving, and standing for the truth</i>,
letting God direct us His way.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: blue;">I would like to share another
thought about forgiving, forgiving frees a person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have seen many times when one forgives, or
one asks forgiveness, the shackles that kept a barrier up for sometimes many
years are removed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is of importance
in Day to Day personal relationships in families, Parents to Children and vise
versa, and other personal relationships—family, friend, or business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again—ask the Lord to help you forgive, and
then consider blessing the other when you do. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Have you ever met a person who is having a bad day?</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Probably most of us have met a person like that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know, there a many ways we could respond
to them, but I would like you to consider the following.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Find a way to bless the other person and help
them smile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It just may bring a ray of
encouragement and sunshine to them. </div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
There is a song that says “Make me a blessing to someone
today”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps that should be our prayer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Father, I ask you to help me bless my friend who is having a
bad day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>May that blessing be
encouragement that will help him to smile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In Jesus’ Name, Amen.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">Take a moment and reflect on the following question—How alert
are we to what concerns others—or are we really focused on our own personal
interests?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In all honesty—what would
bring more fulfillment to you—your personal interests or taking the time to
help someone else?</span></i></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: blue;">When we bless others, we may find significant fulfilment in
our personal life—a fulfilment that helps us reach out to more people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe that is why our Lord encouraged us to
bless others—no matter the situation.</span></i></div>

The protesters had forgotten that our freedoms come with a
cost, one which we fought to preserve, and some gave their lives to protect
those freedoms. The Bible says in John 15:13 that ‘Greater love hath no man
than this that he lay down his life for his friends.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, veterans have experienced a rejection of that love as a
country. Turning to God’s way, we should forgive and find ways to bless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rom 12:14 says “Bless them that persecute you;
bless, and curse not.”</div>

Fortunately, our country is now honoring its veterans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still, all of us who are veterans should

Father, help me to continually find ways to bless my

this prayer:<span> </span>Father, I have judged a
fellow Christian and not encouraged them.<span>
</span>I ask for forgiveness and your help to be able to encourage them.<span> </span>In Jesus’ Name, Amen.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="color: blue; font-size: 14.0pt;">A thought
about encouragement—How should it be done? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps we need to ask ourselves—what is our first
reaction? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it one of a type of
judgment—yet we think the judgment will help?—That is an interesting question
but one we need to be honest about. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
reality, judgment does not encourage. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
may correct—but it rarely is an encouragement. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i></b></div>

to listen to the other person—finding out who they are and their interests. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When one does that, you may find out what
their real needs are and then can work to encourage them.</span></i></b>Lewis Turnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14971132874484076995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528919807154946281.post-54871676557788039262015-04-10T10:50:00.001-07:002015-04-10T10:50:30.817-07:00PM#0459 Dreams that are Dry Bones<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Short Prayers for Wife</div>

James 1:5</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I just wonder if for one reason some of us don’t pray for
our wives is that our prayers for them end up too long and we do not have the
time to pray those prayers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many of us may never have though about that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We just simply stopped praying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did you know that your prayers can be a short
sentence?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They can, and a short prayer
form the heart is very effective.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s an example:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Father, my wife needs your wisdom in caring for our children. In Jesus’
Name, amen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Go head and start praying short prayers like this for your
wife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you do you will be inviting
God’s help for her.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;">Men—Have you ever thought
that if my wife would pray for me that things would be better?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps we should consider the law of sowing
and reaping. Galatians 6:7-9. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we are
not praying for our spouse why should we expect them to pray for us?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many reasons some of us have not
prayed for our spouse, and the prayer minute here lists one reason.</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;">That reason some of us don’t
pray is that it takes too much time out of our schedule.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stop and think—what did the Lord say about
the Pharisee who prayed long prayers?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
directed us about the one who prayed a short prayer that was answered. </span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;">If the Lord is encouraging
short prayers—and our heart is aching, then a short prayer from our heart may
be needed in praying for our spouse. </span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;">Special note—wives—the
encouragement given here for men—may help you as well. Prayer from a heart
seeking the Lord, brings God’s help.</span></i></b></div>
<h1>
<i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Consider
doing what the Apostle Paul exhorted us to Pray without Ceasing.</span></i><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </span></i><i><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">1 Thessalonians 5:17—use short heart prayers—this can be a way of praying
without ceasing.</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;"></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;">Perhaps praying short heart
prayers frequently for our spouse may be a way to Pray without Ceasing for them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would love to hear how the Lord works when we
pray from our heart. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i></b></div>

Why do most people pray?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A

need like danger or a crisis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are
legitimate reasons, but I have found myself now praying out of another
motive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That motive moves me from
praying just for myself to praying for others. This came about because in
learning to love Jesus, we learn to love others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That love guides how I pray.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love does not pray to control.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seeks only the best in the other
person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I Cor 13:2 says that with out
love, we are nothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We must pray in

<span style="font-size: large;">Like it or not there are people who

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Many in
this country have not been involved in the military, and do not fully
understand what it takes to win a battle. <span> </span><span> </span>The Lord

scatter the enemy. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
When you pray, are you praying from your heart?</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many may will say answer yes, but God is the one who really
knows if you are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ps 44:21 says God
knows the secrets of the heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When it comes to prayer, those secrets can affect our
prayers, and if we want to see answers to prayer, there is Biblical
encouragement in PS 37 verse 4 which says ‘delight yourself in the Lord and He
will give you the desires of your heart’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Delighting ourselves in the Lord includes obeying God’s word, meditating
on it, and letting it get into our hearts.</div>

What is in our heart can affect our prayers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we really delight in God’s word, we will
pray from our heart, and we will see answers to what you can call ‘heart
prayer’.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Consider this prayer:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>‘Father, help me to delight in Your word, and may Your word be in my
heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you for helping me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Jesus’ Name, Amen.’</div>

</span>This may happen because our involvement is very limited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we take the time to build a personal
relationship with the individual, then that effort should also lead to the
opportunity to pray for things close to that person’s heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such prayer could encourage them to look to
Jesus.</div>
