Mustard Seed Thoughts: By Prayer

By Prayer

By: Ron Edmondson Mustard Seed Thoughts

He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer." Mark 9:29 NIV

The disciples had tried to drive out the demon. They had watched Jesus many times before. It didn't seem like something they couldn't do. Jesus had said, "If you have faith...."

Everyone was watching, too! What would they think if they weren't able to get rid of this evil spirit? People may think less of them. They may say, "You're not really His disciples." or "Look at you, you can't do anything by yourself." or "Where's your faith?".

So, humbly and privately they ask Jesus, "Why couldn't we drive it out?" (verse 28) Fair question, wouldn't you agree? Why couldn't they perform what seemed to be a simple task? Why couldn't they do what they had been trained to do?

"This kind", Jesus said, "can only come out by prayer."

What are you going through today that can only come out by prayer? Oh sure, you are very spiritual. You have great Biblical knowledge to back up yo ur claim. You know the Pastor! You are a committed follower of Christ! You have the "good attendance" pin! You have a testimony! You are an example for others to follow! You even give God the glory! You are surely capable of doing HIS work!

But, this kind, can only come out by prayer! Today, whatever it is, no matter what people might think or say, turn it over to the Lord. Let Him know you need Him. Thank Him for all He has done for you before, but tell Him you need Him once again! Tell Him you need Him ALWAYS! Tell Him you realize....apart from Him you can do NOTHING!

Turn to Jesus....today!

ONE WITH CHRIST

Galatians 3:15-29

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Galatians+3:15-29

Dear Father,

Thank you, Father, for giving your holy law to Moses and for the
role it played in bringing people to Christ.

Thank you even more that Christ has come as our real teacher and
that we have been delivered to him, that we might be justified by
faith.

Thank you for making us your sons through faith, for making it
possible to put on Christ by our baptism into Christ.

Thank you that in him there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor
free, male nor female, but that we are all one in Christ.

Thank you that by making us one with Christ you have made us to be
Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise you made him.

In the name of Jesus I offer my praise. Amen.

WJD! -- A Salty Peace -- Mark 9:50

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / WHAT JESUS DID! --

--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

A Salty Peace

"Salt is good. But if the salt loses its salty taste, then
you can't make it salty again. So, be full of goodness. And
have peace with each other."

-- Mark 9:50 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus wants us to be people of character -- people who are holy,
righteous, pure and redemptive in a world that is none of those things.
Jesus wants us to live in peace with each other in our local
congregations as well as with other believers even if we do not
recognize them as being in "our group." Two clear commands -- to be at
peace and to have a godly influence on those around us -- are made
without equivocation. Obedience to these two important commands is
needed so very much in the divided and worldly state in which believers
in Jesus now find themselves.

TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy Father, please help me exemplify the desires Jesus has for me -- I
want to be holy and redemptive as I live before my neighbors and I want
to be at peace with those who share faith in Jesus as Lord. In Jesus'
name I ask for your help in being fully obedient to you in these
matters. Amen.

Today's Verse : Exodus 6:30

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / TODAY'S VERSE from HEARTLIGHT --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

June 30, 2008

VERSE:
But Moses said to the LORD, "Since I speak with faltering lips,
why would Pharaoh listen to me?"
-- Exodus 6:30

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Exodus+6:30

THOUGHT:
Moses had to learn the same lesson most of us have to learn:
folks really don't care that much about what we say. If the truth
be known, most of us can't say it very well, anyway. But, when we
offer ourselves to the Lord, he truly works through us and uses us
in mighty ways. Ol' Stammerin' Mo' is the great testimony that God
can take a shepherd with faltering speech and turn him into the
greatest leader of his time. Don't you think we had better ask what
God wants to do with us, and get to doing it!

PRAYER:
Loving Father, please use me in your service. I recognize that
all the gifts, abilities, and experiences that I have came from
you. All my capabilities are given to me so I can bring you praise.
So please enable me to use my abilities for your glory. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.

Christ as the Milk and the Stone (1)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bible Verses~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1Pet 2:2 As newborn babes, long for the guileless milk of
the word in order that by it you may grow unto salvation, 3
If you have tasted that the Lord is good. 4 Coming to Him,
a living stone, rejected by men but with God chosen and
precious,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Words of Ministry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Part 1 of 2)
According to verse 4, we need to come to Christ as the living
stone. But what is the way to come to Him? We come to the
Lord by drinking the milk of the word. Have you ever realized
that when you are drinking milk from the word, that is your
coming to the Lord? What is the milk in the word? That milk
is the Lord Himself. Therefore, when we drink the milk, we
come to the Lord. Do you have some other way of coming to the
food you eat? What is your way of coming to the food? Do you
not come to it by eating it? We all come to the food by
eating it. The same is true with respect to coming to Christ
as the living stone. In verse 4 the word "coming" is equal to
drinking. Therefore, when we drink the milk, we come to the
Lord.

We have pointed out that Peter seems to leap from the milk-
Christ to the stone-Christ. This implies that the milk
becomes the stone. How can this be? With us, this is
impossible, but it is not impossible with the Lord, because
He is all-inclusive. As the all-inclusive One, Christ is
milk, and He is also the stone. We are not able to exhaust
all the aspects of Christ. He is the milk, He is the bread,
and now we see that He is the stone.
(Continued tomorrow)
