Dear Child:
Pray to Me. Come to Me. Cry out to Me. I am listening.
I will let your prayer come before Me and incline My ear to your cry. (Psalm 88:2) You will call upon Me and you will go and pray to Me and I will hearken to you. (Jeremiah 29:12) Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is My will in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to Me; and My peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ. (Philippians 4:6) But the end of things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for 'love will cover a multitude of sins', (1 Peter 4:7-8) so continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving. (Colossians 4:2)
When I shut up the heaven and there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people; if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. (2 Chronicles 7:13-15) I will hear your supplication; I will receive your prayer. (Psalm 6:9) I will regard the prayer of the destitute and will not despise their prayer. (Psalm 102:17) Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not. (Jeremiah 33:3)
When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because you have sinned against Me, when you pray to Me and confess My name, and turn back from your sin because I afflict you, then I will hear in heaven and forgive your sin, that I may teach you the good way in which you should walk; and send rain on your land. (1 Kings 8:34-36) Acknowledge your sin to Me and do not hide your iniquity. Say, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD", and I will forgive your sin. For this cause everyone who is godly will pray to Me in a time when I may be found; surely in a flood of great waters they will not come near you. I am your hiding place. I will preserve you from trouble; I will surround you with songs of deliverance. (Psalm 32:5-7) I will fulfill the desires of them that fear Me; i will also hear their cry and I will save them. (Psalm 145:19)
If you abide in Christ, and My words abide in you, ask what you will and it will be done for you. (John 15:7) And whatsoever you ask in Jesus name, that I will do, that I will be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in His name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14) But if you hope for what you do not see, eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise the Spirit also helps in your weaknesses. For you do not know what you should pray as you ought. I search the heart and know what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to My will. (Romans 8:25-27) Have faith in Me. Therefore, I say to you, whatever you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that I may also forgive your trespasses. (Mark 11:22, 24-25)
Then will you call, and I will answer you; you will cry and I will say, "Here I Am." (Isaiah 58:9) I know the things you have need of before you ask Me. In this manner, therefore pray:
Our Father in heaven - Acknowledge Me
Hallowed be Your name - Reverence Me
Your kingdom come - Seek earnestly for Me
Your will be done - Realize I Am sovereign
On earth as it is in heaven - Know that I am in control
Give us this day our daily bread - Pray daily for needs, be content and rely on Me
And forgive our debts - Ask for forgiveness for your sins
As we forgive our debtors - Forgive as you have been forgiven
And do not lead us into temptation - Pray for guidance
But deliver us from the evil one - Pray for spiritual protection
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen - Acknowledge Me as God!
Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. (Matthew 21:22) Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you; for everyone that ask, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it will be opened ....I will give good things to those who ask Me. (Matthew 7:7-8, 11) And whatsoever you ask, you receive of Me because you keep My commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in My sight. (1 John 3:22) If you ask anything according to MY WILL, I hear you. (1 John 5:14) I will give you whatever you ask in Jesus name. Ask and you will receive and your joy will be complete. (John 16:23-24)
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me. (Psalm 50:15) When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in houses of worship and on street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to Me, who is unseen. And I, who see you in private, will reward you. (Matthew 6:5-7) This is the confidence you have in Me, that if you ask anything according to My will, I hear you. (1 John 5:16)
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Say to Me, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." If you say, "The LORD is my refuge", and you make Me, the Most High, your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. (Psalm 91:1-2, 9,10) Because you love Me, I will rescue you; I will protect you, for you acknowledge My name. You will call on Me and I will answer you; I will be with you in trouble, I will deliver you and honor you. With long life I will satisfy you and show you My salvation. (Psalm 91:14-16) Before you call, I will answer; and while you are yet speaking, I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24)
Pray to Me.
Love God

You know brethren it really breaks my heart when i see "Believers" Who critically judge other believers... I am NOT talking about in good righteous Judgment...The way the bible teaches us to do. I am talking about when other "Believers" assume and call out another believer saying well you fell away and need to be re-saved or ect.. well once you have salvation no one can take it. Whoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved. Once we call on the name of the lord, and accept salvation in Christ our names our engraved in the palm of Hashem's hands. Isaiah 49:16. We as believers should be able to talk about our sins with one another. to pray for one another. To listen with compassion, and understanding. We are suppose to be a FAMILY. A SPIRITUAL FAMILY. Like Romans 12:4-6 says, For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. We need each other, to encourage, to uplift, to pray, to just listen, or to just be there for one another.. We should Remember that we all for short of the GLORY OF HASHEM. HE WHO HAS NOT SINNED CAST THE FIRST STONE. AMEN. We should not act in a pious, self righteous manner... and if we realize we are getting to be that way, we should ask forgiveness, from Hashem, in Yeshua's mighty name. and seek the person in turn we were acting that way too as well.
Like Hashem say's in James 2:10-19
Whoever breaks one commandment is guilty of breaking them all. For the same one who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not commit murder." Even if you do not commit adultery, you have become a lawbreaker if you commit murder. Speak and act as people who will be judged by the law that sets us free. For Hashem will not show mercy when he judges the person who has not been merciful; but mercy triumphs over judgment. My friends, what good is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you? Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don't have enough to eat. What good is there in your saying to them, "May Yahweh bless you! Keep warm and eat well!" If you don't give them the necessities of life? So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. But someone will say, "One person has faith, another has actions." My answer is, "Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions." Do you believe that there is only one Yahweh? Good! The demons also believe..and tremble with fear..
All of us are GUILTY of breaking all the laws daily. We CARRY our CROSSES daily, We REPENT daily, SEEK forgiveness daily! Amen! Its why Hashem sent Christ to die on Calvary for our sins, because we continued to fail daily, to fall short of his glory daily. But his love is unfailing, never gives up, never runs out on us. Amen!
So let us pray to be more like Christ and less like ourselves. Love you all in Christ.

WHAT’S IN A TALENT?
tal·ent noun \ta-lənt\
1. archaic : a characteristic feature, aptitude, or disposition of a person or animal.
2. the natural endowments of a person
3. a : a special often athletic, creative, or artistic aptitude
b : general intelligence or mental power : ability
It is said that everyone has talent; be it the ability to sing or be athletic or have some great mental intelligence. Talent comes in all shapes and sizes and each individual, from the least to the greatest is blessed with some type of talent.
In Matthew 25:14-30, Jesus relates a parable of trio of servants and how they utilized money given to them by their master. The money in the parable was called a ‘talent’. Whatever the value of this currency was, the master expected the servants to make it grow. Two did and one failed to do so. The master was infuriated with the servant who failed to multiply his portion of the talents.
V.24-30
24 “Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.’
26 “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest.
28 “‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags. 29 For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Why was the master so angry with the servant who failed to produce and why should it matter to you?
In Genesis, The first commandment to living creatures is ‘be fruitful and multiply’. “Be Fruitful” is the VERY first command. God wants us to be fruitful in our lives. We were not created to take up space and breathe air!
“Multiply” is the second command. It is not only the duty of each of us to be fruitful, but to multiply and grow this fruitfulness. Be it , production, reproduction or to be something, it is to be fruitful and multiplied.
Each person was created with a purpose and by the reading of the parable, our Master, God, is disgusted when we fail to be fruitful and multiply. ‘Wicked, lazy servant!’ are not very flattering words.
So, let’s ask ourselves; “Would God send me a Boaz who is not fruitful nor multiplying his talents?”
Ladies, evaluate well your potential Boaz. God will not send you anyone who He disapproves of by His own Word! Stop making excuses for “Mr. Right’s” Wrongs!
I’m not saying your Boaz has to be a brain surgeon, a wealthy business man or a rising star. What I am saying, is that if the only ‘talents’ your Boaz has is beer drinking, video game playing, baby making or excuse making; he might not be your real Boaz!
To be fruitful and multiply applies to YOU also! You cannot be fruitful and multiply with someone who is bearing no fruit nor multiplying his talents! Scripture says “A house divided cannot stand!” (Mark 3:25) You cannot move ahead together if you are moving in two different directions.
Furthermore, God says, “Do not be unequally yoked.” (2 Corinthians 6:14) This warning is aimed at not being attached with unbelievers, but the context is similar any relationship. What does a woman who follows God and is trying build a progressing life with a great Boaz, have to do with a man who is less than spiritual and failing to be fruitful or multiply his talents?
Be careful that your ‘Boaz” doesn’t make you a worthless servant, instead of making you see and build upon your worth, by adding to your life and not taking away from it.
v.29 “For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”
Choose Wisely!
