Abraham continued to ASK God for more..."What if only forty are found there?"....."Now that I have been so bold as to jspeak to the LOTD, what if only twenty can be found there?"...... As he seems to plead with a heart that is contrite, God sees the intent.... YES..I have prayed (talked) with my LORD and over and over as each moment turned into other moments...thru addiction and then finding myself praying for others with addictions and then seeing DELIVERANCE come and FORGIVENESS giving way to JOY and continued praying thru day in and day out...AN ONGOING WITH THE FATHER.... Jesus gives me many times precious scriptures that reveal to me HE IS DONE...or HE WILL continue to see me thru a situation...the scriptures are HIM speaking directly about this thing .... the more I am TRUSTING in a prayerful situation (or I call it FAITH-ing IT).....I find a delightful or a bouncing back and forth experience with my JESUS; He sees my FAITH-ing IT and HE delights to bless me again and again...and then I FAITH-IT and He blesses me and REMINDS me over and over of this LOVE ; this unquenching love he fills me up with!!!

Our Abba encourages us to come "boldly" before His throne....He is FAITHFUL, HE is WANTING to give us Every blessing ......God is a LOVING and DOTING FATHER loving for us to ask of HIM and pray back to HIM WHO HE SAYS HE IS..... God made us for intersession...He created us originally to live in a 'give and take' relationship as it was in The Garden BEFORE the fall.... He delights in us and He delighted in Abraham's ASKING.....when we ask of Him and considering HIS purposes and not OUR OWN, the LORD delights in the prayers of a "righteous" man...

We should emulate ALL aspects of Moses prayer....to lift up to the LORD Jesus His name and what His name is worthy of ...He has so many names through out the OT and each is a character trait of His personal. When we re-iterate the same words of God's back in our talkilng with the LORD, then that is showing our need and our belief that HE is who He says HE is and will be there for us because of Who HE is. To continue to pray the promises of God like this is to have intimacy and only those of us who pray or talk with the LORD for HIS GLORY TO BE SEEN AND HIS PURPOSE TO BE DONE AND HIS KINGDOM TO ADVANCE, will we then hear from Him and see His will be done... The more you KNOW the WORD and the HOLY SPIRIT moves you toward the WORD, the more you KNOW GOD and HIS place/purpose/positiion/ and plans for YOUR OWN LIFE...

We do NOT need to continually ask forgiveness! First off when one reads any scripture one must rightly divide scripture; the word of truth. The LORD's prayer was BEFORE the cross. This prayer is a prayer which Jesus taught his diciples BEFORE he died for all our sins, once and for ALL who come to receive this FORGIVENESS of the debt He paid and He alone could pay in full. If scripture comes out of anything other than Paul's Epitstles it is meant for Isreal, under the Law, (back before the cross) or for the future after the Body of Christ is complete and removed and God has taken up the Nation of Israel, so it does not apply to us. Unfortunately many Christians do not understand what it is, so ignorance will breed untruth. Paul's teaching is the exact opposite, "BE YE KIND, TENDERHEARTED, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER EVEN AS GOD FOR CHRIST'S SAKE HATH FORGIVEN YOU!!!" You must understand text and context whenever you read the WORD. You who are a Christian, born again of the spirit of God and has the Holy Spirit inside your heart do not have to ask for forgiveness, because the point of Pauls's gospel of the grace of God is "God has reconciled us to Himself by the death of His Son." If you ask for what you already have, that is unbelief!!! But you must accept it for it to be yours. There is a big difference between asking for something and accepting something that is offered. But asking God to fogive your sins after He has declared you debt was paid in full by the death of His Son, Jesus Christ, is not just absurd, it is harmful! It demeans His sacrifice and makes it no better than the blodd of goats and and bulls, which could never take away sin. Either God dealt with sin ONCE for ALL, or He didn't . Either He told the truth when he died once and said "It is finished" or it was not finished. God is not now dealing with sin! Ours or anybody elses. everything He did, could do, or would do, about the sin problem was completely done over 2,000 years ago. We as believers have no choice but to forgive cause He already FORGAVE you and me,If He already forgave it all, who are we to NOT forgive!

We (Christians) seek to be independent because we do not understand the way the body of Christ works. The flesh part of that Christian still does not SEE that to NOT ask is taking control of their own lives and keeping themselves an "island"; cut off from the TRUTH and the LIGHT and the STRENGTH of how one believer + another believer = a unity like non other. Without often times realizing that by not asking for help WE are seeking independence of our Creator. Why? We do it because we want to be in charge and obviously do not yet once again, understand the function of the family of God of which we do belong! We do not earn anything of ourselves! To presume to THINK one is able is to fail in the long run ....sooner than later those that think they Did it THEIR way, will fall and then (as the LORD designs) that person will come to see that "We can do ALL things thru Christ who strengthens me".

After we shower the LORD in praises to HIS HOLY NAME...then we agree with HIM that His kingdom is here inside us already....I ask my ABBA for the priviledge once again that day of 'being the kingdom' to the lost which Jesus places in my path for the day. The LOST, the SEARCHING, and HURTING people are WHY I am still here on earth and why the KINGDOM has not yet been set ... my mission each day to ASK, SEEK and LOOK for those that need the LORD.. The Father's Will MUST be done here! His grace must lead all to faith ...all that will say YES... We will live not for our own FEELINGS and OWN WANTS...because they are NOT the WILL of the KINGDOM...so to live for me is a WASTE...but to LIVE INSIDE the LORD's WILL each day and ask for the death of our own selves will effect your mind, body and soul and it will be a praise and sacrifice unto HIM who is WORTHY!!!!

When I live my life in the light of WHO I am inside of Christ this hallows the name of our Father each and every moment I do this. Why? Because when I live as unto the LORD in my mind, soul, and body, then my heart, mind and actions follow and the LORD receives the glory and the HOLINESS that makes HIM who He is. When I think and act in my flesh (not honoring the Holy Spirit's working inside me) then I am apt to think, say and act contrary to hallowing the name of JESUS. When I walk into the presence of GOD (in my daily on-going communitcations with Him) I begin with TELLING HIM WHO HE IS!!! It is as beautiful and adoring as that...All the names of who He is; Lamb of God, Emmanual, Christ the KING of kings, LORD of lords, the bright morning star, the great I AM and a zillion more...the more my heart does this the more my soul magnifies Him, the closer my spirit aligns with the HOLY SPIRT!
