"Praying For Those Whose Faith In God Is Tethered Today..."



 As a Christian whose beliefs are so rooted in the Pentecostal faith, my Prayer life has been interrupted, compromised, tethered & savaged by temptations I consciously allowed to sever my personal relationship with the Lord...I know that, that's ironic for me to say. It's just like an oxymoron, a contradiction from a faith-believing standpoint. But--God is Good, all the Time, God is Good. He will never let you astray. In my case, it lasted for many seasons. But there's no need to even elucidate the burdens of regrets, self-condemnation & bitterness.

 What counts is God's restoration in my life. Slowly but surely, I am set free of any stronghold preventing me from walking uprightly. In John 8:36 (KJV) says that "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.You better believe that--my personal testimony that God's grace, mercy & love is bigger than our mistakes. Glory to God that I found my way back home into His Presence.

I have been earnestly tuning-in to Sonlife Broadcasting Network at the very beginning of this year. I particularly love listening to The Message of The Cross, Frances & Friends & Insight. And on Sundays, (after the church service) I continue my praise & worship with SBN in my sofa at home. I pray God's anointing power to just minister to my soul through the preaching of His Word. I tell you, I may not get the message fully, but I'm back to the very heart of being teachable. There is nothing greater than getting ministered with the truth that is liberating, freeing you from every captor or captivity of wrong doctrines or unbelief...

And so I continue to pray--more so, praying for the right, unencumbered petitions of my heart. I pray that whoever reads this, my simple yet sincere/honest prayer for everyone to seek God and draw closer to Him is the only way we get real victories over what seem to be drowning us. Make "praying" the great lifeline, our direct connection to His unfailing Love. 

Jesus is waiting for you Today. In Matthew 11:28 God says: "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden And I will give you rest. That's an absolute promise. Take heed of it.

And doing so, your fervent prayers are not futile. In His perfect time, He will. 

Additional Scriptures that had helped me in finding my way back to Christ;

Romans 8:28 (KJV)
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God who are called according to His purpose.
Romans 10:17 (KJV)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God

May you all have a Blessed Sunday!
