And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:1-5 KJV “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:6 KJV “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31 KJV “Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” Isaiah 40:4-5 KJV “I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” Psalms 16:8 KJV “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.” Psalms 118:22-23 KJV “Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s” Deuteronomy 1:17 KJV ​ Supporters, click here to listen to/download this in .pdf .doc .rtf and audio/podcast formats. ​ ​ Compiled by Shawn P Keenan Getting to God - A presence, dedicated to the search of the soul https://www.gettingtogod.com ​ ​ ​

Effective Prayer Prayer can seem like a tricky thing. Sometimes it's straight forward. But like any conversation with anyone, the results of a conversation with God can sometimes be hard to understand. There is a learning curve, but it's no harder to climb than the ones we overcome when talking with humans. In fact a sit-down with the big guy can in many ways be much easier. God doesn't always answer with what we think should happen, but the good news is, he always answers with fairness for everyone and love for anyone who prays. ​ Every article and video in this package comes based on one thing, my own learning process. I started this process with unrealistic expectations and weak prayer, asking God to help me understand why my words were so ineffective. Months later, after a string of lessons, my prayers became much stronger and much more effective. Through prayer, I'm able to gain things now that I couldn't have even imagined before. ​ ​ So how did I make my prayers stronger? I took the steps that are illustrated below. And in the interest of helping others, I've posted them in curriculum-like form. I recommend using them in the order they're presented. ​ ​ ​ Can, and how, do we actually talk to God? ​ Can we Really Talk to God? (pt 1/3) An article that clears up the many mistakes people make when both talking and listening to God. This one is a must, but if you want more information you can also continue by reading about my own experience in Can We Talk to God?

They blend into every day life so well that we're often not aware they don't belong. Habits and addictions are especially hard to recognize and move away from when they help soften the blows struck by this life. Thing is, we often aren't told that the rewards of breaking such behaviors are far greater than those we get from engaging in them. Think about this in a technical way. Our human made machines communicate best through clear lines. Take radio waves that go between phones and cell towers. They travel well through a clear environment, but not through one that is contaminated with blockages, like metal walls, etc. This principle applies in our communications with God, and sin can contaminate those lines of communication. God can hear us no matter what we do. But on the flip side, contaminates can not only prevent us from hearing him, they can open doors to the misguiding language of the enemy. Therefore one of the most important components of strong prayer is to come to God and pray with the cleanest heart possible. ​ That doesn't mean you should give up if you're not ready to break certain behaviors. Prayer is beneficial no matter who you are and what you're doing. But what I learned through experience is, the more we break bad habits, the stronger and more effective our prayer becomes. God opens doors through sacrifice. This is one of the biggest reasons I wrote the articles below. Sin, a Realistic View (Part 1/3) An article that gives a non-judgmental view of the stigmas, the acceptance and the forgiveness of sin. ​ ​ ​ Sin, a Realistic View (pt 2/3) Improving behavior can be done. Here I give some realistic tips on how to do it, along with some of my own experience. Vengeance does not mix with wisdom and Prayer ​ Praying for revenge does no good for anyone. If you do pray for it and get it, it's not coming from God. Those brothers and sisters with poor behavior; as much legitimate anger as we may have toward them, they're not just our family, most importantly they're God's. And when God sees that we're willing to put aside our anger and pray for what's right for all of us, those open doors of his become more numerous. So as hard is it is (it was incredibly hard for me to learn) we need to help even those we feel cannot or should not be helped. ​ Pray for the Enemy (article) Praying for the enemy is completely anti-intuitive. It goes against not only basic instinct, but long-time, deeply engrained modes of dealing with social conflict. And yet it’s beneficial to everyone. ​ .
