Morning Bliss: When You Faint, Pray!


Focal Scripture :  Jonah 2:7; When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. 

                     Read: Jonah 2:1-10

Prayer can take us from hell to heaven in the blink of an eye.

Here Jonah had run away from God, disobeying his command to preach to Israel's enemies in the city of Nineveh. Jonah's ship was therefore caught in the midst of a great storm that God brought his way. Jonah was famously thrown from the ship and swallowed by a great fish.

As he languishes in the unimaginable discomfort and horror of the fish's belly, Jonah describes himself as being in "the belly of hell" (2:2) . Jonah was in this predicament because of his own disobedience and rebellion. He felt as though he had been cast away from the presence and watch care of God (2:4) . Yet, he says, "I will look again toward thy holy temple."

When we find ourselves suffering for our own sins, we are sometimes tempted to avoid God. Out of a sense of guilt, or pride, or embarrassment we turn away from God rather than turning to him in prayer.

But, as Jonah observed, afflictions are sometimes sent to draw us to God, to deliver us from our sinful path: "I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD." The very affliction is what brought Jonah to cry out to God.

God has never yet turned away any sinner who prayed to him in repentance. Jonah found that, even as he suffered " in the belly of hell " he was able, through prayer, to come to God in his holy temple.

Prayer is an essential requirements for Spiritual awakening. 
We considered the subject "Pray, Not Faint, but what if you faint? Prov. 24:16, for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.; also read (Micah 7:8) . Yes is possible to fall or faint but never give room for that, but incase, also Pray, it is the way to rise Again. 

No true Soldier gives Up!, and you should not be the first as a true soldier of Christ. 
Prayer is not a religious thing, it is a prerequisite for Spiritual Stamina and to access the deep things of God. 1Corth.2:10bThe Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

If You find Yourself fainting, or fainted, the best you can do to reawakening your Spirit is To Pray, Pray, Pray, Hence the Scripture, 1Thess. 5:17; Pray Without Ceasing!

Notice Vs10 , God Heard Jonah's Cry, and He brought him out of that predicament. 

If you find yourself far away from God today, rush into his presence through prayer and bask in the glow of his abundant forgiveness and love.

Morning Bliss: Sin through One Man' Focal Scripture : Romans 5:12; Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."                  Read: Romans 5:12-16 Can one man make a difference? Human history shouts in the affirmative. One man, one woman, one child can have an enormous impact, either for good or evil. Adam, by eating of the fruit which God had forbidden, plunged himself and all his posterity into sin. And the inevitable result of sin was death. The world is full of "if onlys". If only Adam had not eaten of that fruit! If only the people had listened to Noah's preaching! If only Moses had not lost his temper! If only Peter had stood up for Jesus! On the other hand, the world is full of "what ifs". What if Abraham had not faithfully followed God's command? What if David had not stood up to Goliath? What if Paul had not written to the churches?...

Morning Bliss: Focus On Jesus_ Focal Scripture : Luke 10:20 - 'Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.'                                      Read: Luke 10:20   We were never instructed to have a Ph.D. in demonology.  However, some justify focusing on Satan and his activity to an inordinate degree.  This will actually encourage demonic activity and become a device that Satan can use against us. As Paul said, we should not be 'ignorant' of Satan's devices.  We certainly need to know that the devil and demons exist, and we need to recognize when we are facing demonic activity. But we need to keep our focus on the Lord. Some people who are excessive in 'spiritual warfare' actually spend more time talking to the devil each day than they do talking to God.  That's not r...

https://anchor.fm/eric-michael/episodes/Power-Of-Perception-e5184k  Power Of Perception   There is a law in psychology that if you form a picture in your mind of what you would like to be, and you keep and hold that picture there long enough, you will soon become exactly as you have been thinking. — William James ■ YOU ARE BORN UNAFRAID The child is born with no fears, except those of falling and loud noises. All other fears have to be taught to the child as he or she grows up. The two major fears we all develop are the fear of failure or loss and the fear of criticism or rejection. We begin to learn the fear of failure if we are continually criticized and punished when we try some- thing new or different. We are shouted at and told, “No! Get away from there! Stop that! Put that down!” Physical punishment and the withholding of love, possibilities that scare us and make us feel insecure, often accompany these shouts and criticisms. We s...
