A prayer that moves heaven by Ron Mehl

Today I read this book during my quiet time. Yes, from 7:30am to 8:30am I read this tiny book that had so much to say. Wow! (Please come and borrow it). When a great pastor says read a book I have determined to do it. This inspired my time with God and I determined to share it with you. I have summarized it with the following but reading it truthfully is an eye opening experience. As I read this book this morning I realized that God has been teaching me about Prayer and how powerful it is in my life. Only when I get away from the distractions (including my cute whiny dog Skooter) am I able to focus on Him and hear what it is that he has to say to me. He is my early warning system about the trials that I might be facing. Thank you God for allowing me to go through this past week and learn about how You want me to pray.

Blessings, Vicki

2 Chronicles 20:1-30

Principle 1: Walk ready every day you don’t know when the Edomites are coming
Principle 2: Set your heart’s direction every morning…make up your mind to follow Him.
Principle 3: Drink deeply every day…from his fountain of mercy and grace.
Principle 4: Look beyond the facts until you see the truth.
Principle 5: Welcome Your fear as long as it drives you to your knees.
Principle 6: Always surrender to God, never to your circumstances.
Principle 7: Listen for His voice before you leave the place of prayer.
Principle 8 Ask God about Satan’s plans…before the enemy steals your most precious treasures.
Principle 9: Resolve to do what the Lord told you to do.
Principle 10: Cease from your own striving and wait for Him to work.

“I’ve come to believe that Satan’s radar detects the blessings of God in the lives of His children. And, just when that believer begins to feel secure and confident, he moves in to try and test that man or woman, hoping to catch one of God’s kids unawares.

There are times in your life when facts do not line up with the truth.

When trouble comes, ask three questions:
God, what do you see?
God, what are you going to do?
God, what should I be doing?

When Satan lifts his head he is never more vulnerable.
The servant of the Lord is indestructible until the Lord is done with him/her.
