  1. We have the same opportunity, God will send angles, or a friend, or a complete stranger whom God would give them an encouraging word that would strengthen us, give us direction. For Jesus, the question answer
  2. I do believe Father God was pleased with his son, and why He was petitioning Him. Yet! Jesus knew what the will of God was for Him. We tend not to own up to our responsibility, our preference is to pass the buck, or avoid the issue all together. Yet in the deepest part of ours heart we know, we understand our responsibilities and what we need to do. To walk with the Lord will cost us, to live for Him will cost us, and to do His will; will cost us. We gladly pay the price, because we all know the ultimate reward.
  3. I can only imagine the weight that was upon Jesus shoulders, the fear of being separated from His father. My reaction would be to lay down my burden instead of separation from my father. Ultimately, Jesus knew that the will of God was to save mankind, to redeem them. Wow! Billions upon billions of people, the weight of their sin upon His shoulders, this is unthinkable. We pray Lord we have a need, worry, and fear probably once. There is something to be said about pounding on heavens door until God hears and answers. Jesus knew what he had to do, and the cup the Father had given him to drink. I would ask my father, are you sure you want me to do this? Even though I knew the answer to my own question.
  4. That His disciples would not fall into temptation, Jesus knew they would be tested in their faith, temptation is a fact of life and there's no way of evading it. As long as the devil has control of secular music, ***********, Hollywood; our eyes, ears and senses will be bombarded. Even though temptation is a fact of life, it is my prayer every day for the covering of the Blood of Jesus and Psalm 91. Jesus would pray in a quiet place in the crack of dawn, because there is less distractions. As He has instructed us to pary.
  5. Nehemiah is reminding God of His promises which he gave to his servant Moses from Deuteronomy 30:1-3 If Israel would obey the commands of the Lord, what He would do for them, however, If they chose to disobey Gods command then God would scatter them. So Nehemiah begins to remind God of his promises to his servants. I am reminded of the promises the Lord has made to my wife and I. There is an effective way to approach God, and there is a wrong way to approach Him. If we want God to respond to the cry of our heart, He must be approached correctly
  6. Nehemiah has taken upon himself as an intercessor the sins and burden of his people Israel. The opposition that has arisen against him is overwhelming. He begins to empty himself out through prayer and fasting to remove any issues in his heart and mind over those who are contending against the command God has given him
  7. Daniel takes ownership in the sins of Israel, he is apart of Israel, he is a servant. He feels the grief and is overwhelmed with the burden what has taken place present and past. The difference between Daniel and Jesus: Jesus bore the sins of all mankind upon his shoulders, where as for Daniel a prophet carries the burden for man, he stands in the gap, between man and God understanding he has to do the will of the Lord, yet he understands the weakness, and the inability of man to carry those burdens.
  8. Daniel set his face toward the Lord, postured his heart in deliberate humility and supplication through fasting and repentance. Seeking, requiring by pounding on heavens door on behalf of the sins of Israel. Daniel prayed continually until he received and answer. I identify with Daniels approach, because I move toward intercession in a similar fashion. I identify what the Lord wants me to intercede about/for. I worship in order to establish an atmosphere; I then take communion before I pray. I pray until the Holy Spirit discloses to me the answer I am seeking.
  9. Because all Israel had sinned against the Lord, they had turned away from his commends, they didn
  10. Q4. (139:23-24) Why is this prayer of surrender to God so difficult to pray? We give control of our lives to someone else, and trust they will do the right thing can be very difficult. When was the first time you prayed this kind of prayer to God? 2004 is when I prayed and asked God to search my heart What was the result? For sometime I felt like I was pulled through a knothole backward. It
  11. Q2. (139:5, 10). In verses 5 and 10, how does God's hand touch the psalmist? God
  12. Q1. (139:7) Why do people sometimes want to flee from God? When there are unresolved issues, and they cause you to stumble often, and the uncomfortable ness is that you know God has his finger pressed firmly on those unresolved issues and the intensity of His probing to get you to deal with them. Why do people imagine that God doesn't know what they do? Unbelief, we go about our business daily doing stuff, saying things we know is wrong. We then begin to question our own belief, we confess our sins according to 1 John 1:9, yet we fall back into that mind set. Unbelief? Have you ever felt this way? God has called me into a very specific ministry, and it seems my mind and heart are always probing my intentions
  13. In his prayer does David seek to minimize his sins? No David acknowledges his sin and accepts responsibility for them. Why does an authentic prayer for pardon require clear, unvarnished acknowledgement of sin to be effective? As long as we try to justify our sin and make excuses, rationalize our sins to make them seem somewhat less guilt-worthy, then we have not confessed our sins to God in the way that is essential for repentance. We must take responsibility for our sin and our actions, call it what it really is
