Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob (Isaiah 41:21). How comforting and inspiring to knowthat you can argue your case before the Lord in prayer! You can actually turn your closet into a courtroom, and bring forth your strong reasons for demanding a change, or insisting that things turn out in a certain way for you or for your loved ones. This kind of praying is serious and intense—the kind for which you shut your door and say, "I must have a miracle today!" You might ask, "What if after praying for a while, I’m still not satisfied that it’sdone?" Well, that’s why it’s called"pleading your case"; it just means"case adjourned!" Since you’re not yet convinced it’s done, go back to the Word, research and produce more evidence. Pray earnestly in the spirit—in other tongues. Even if you have to stop praying for a while to go to work, or engage in some other worthwhile activities, once you have the opportunity again to be alone, continue in prayer. Even while you’re on the move, perhaps in the car, heading to work orreturning from work, once the issue comes to your mind, speak the Word of God about it. This, essentially, is how you pray when praying the prayer of petition; it’s rendered with tenacity and a strong sense of purpose. You don’t take "no" for an answer! If you don’t get a note of victory the first time you pray, you continue until you know you’ve got what you want; and at that point, nothing in the world can take it from you. However, until you have that note of victory and knowledge in your spirit, continue in prayer; keep pleading your case. Remember what He said in Isaiah 43:26: "Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified." God didn’t make this statement because He’s forgetful; rather, it’s an invitation for you to bring forth your arguments and strong reasons in pleading your case. He wants you to present the statements of fact, promises, and declarations He’s made concerning the matter you’re dealing with, and beimportunate in prayer. Soon enough, there’ll be laughter in your spirit because you’d have the victory. PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for showing me that I’m not helpless, but empowered to effect changes in the circumstances of life by faith and in the Name of Jesus. My faith in you and in the power of your Word prevails today, and always, and I rejoice, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: James 5:17 New Life Version (NLV) 17 Elijah was a man as we are. He prayed that it might not rain. It did not rain on the earth for three and one-half years. Hosea 14:2 New Life Version (NLV) 2 Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to Him, “Take away all sin, and receive us in kindness, that we may praise You with our lips. Some prayer= some power, much prayer= much power! |

What example do you set?

The best example you can ever set, Is your own individuality. The day you decide you need to change yourself over consciousness in regards to what other people think of you. Is the day you kill the beauty that is you, and substitute it with the boring predictability that is everyone else.

If you nailed me down to only those choices I think I would opt for two because I don't have the mega bucks and would probably have more in common with someone in that situation. But three would work if his personality was cool with his appearance because that is very low on my list of things that are important. Nobody is that great looking in the second half of lifespan anyway.If it is it has probablly been "manipulated" to get it that way. LOL to me is rich is when both ends actully meet rather than just wave at each other . lol That was too funny, Kinda like having a bowl of corn flakes and no spoon lol |

Dance first, think later. how about dancing with someone worth dancing with / think when you catch your breath a comment like dance first think later sounds predatory Agree, could also be the good old paternalistic "women think too much, men know how to simply enjoy"? Can you say paranoid? |

You are talking about girls not women, women know who they are and how they feel. I'll give you an example, Say a woman is mad at someone, For the sake of argument lets say its a man. She is telling all her girlfriends what a jerk he is. All of a sudden he shows up with flowers and her favorite starbucks, Then all of a sudden she changes her story and tells everyone what a sweetheart he is. Now on the same token a man rips off another man. Then the fiend in question returns the mans property to him and apologizes. The man may forgive him but.. He is still going to think he is an A-hole for ripping him off. I rest my case |
