How to remember what God has done in your life

One way to work on strengthening our spiritual lives is to meditate on the role that God has had in them. We can become so preoccupied with asking God to intervene in situations that we can can forget how far we’ve already come with his help and all of the growth that we’ve undergone as a result of his involvement. We can easily find ourselves fixated on chasing and obtaining the ‘next big thing’ that we think will bring us happiness if we don’t make time to give thanks and reflect on what we have. This same attitude can have a negative impact on our spiritual progress. The desire to build on our relationship with Jesus and to develop spiritually is understandable and should be encouraged but we should also accept that an important part of this is showing appreciation for what has already happened. Here are three questions which can help us to get thinking about the role God has had in our spiritual development. How have I changed? Reflecting on the practical changes that we’ve made can help us realise how differently we approach situations now to how we did in the past. Do you have a different attitude when you’re faced with a difficult personal or financial issue? How can this positive change be linked back to your faith? Maybe you make more time in your schedule for the people you care about than you did before as a result of reexamining how Jesus dealt with people. How have I grown spiritually? Are you praying more often and more deeply than before? Maybe you feel more peaceful during prayer or more comfortable during worship. From an experience of inner peace to better communication with Jesus, it’s important to recognise and give thanks for how we’ve grown spiritually in whatever form it presents itself. Realising the spiritual growth that we’ve experienced can encourage us to channel these gifts into outward expressions of Jesus’ love. How has my faith deepened? A greater trust in God is one way that we can see evidence of a deeper faith. One of the things that many of us do is worry unnecessarily. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God,” (Philippians 4:6). We’re probably opening up to God more if we’re worrying less than before. Taking stock of our deepened faith can help motivate us to respond positively to our calling when previously we would have been too worried to act. Originally posted 2016-03-14 07:12:33.

He is there!

Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. Romans 8:28 MSG Originally posted 2016-03-14 06:57:11.

‘Miracle’ in Idaho: Pastor shot 6 times in the back after praying for Ted Cruz on his way to recovery, says family

The pastor in Idaho who was shot six times in the back and suffered a collapsed lung is on his way to recovery—a development that his family described as a miracle. Pastor Tim Remington, 55, was shot at around 2 p.m. Sunday at the parking lot of the Altar Church in Coeur d’Alene by suspected gunman Kyle Odom, 30, who was arrested Tuesday outside the White House in Washington, D.C. after he threw “objects” over the fence, NBC News reported. Remington’s son Jeremiah said what happened to his dad was a miracle. “It really is, there was a bullet that lodged in his skull. It’s an angel that said, this is as far as its gonna go today,” he said, according to KHQ. Remington’s family said God is keeping him alive. “Thank you and keep praying for him,” Jeremiah said, adding that they can forgive Odom for what he did. “If God can forgive, we can forgive,” he said. Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said Odom was arrested while throwing objects, including documents and a computer flash drive, over the White House fence. The package included a manifesto that named U.S. House members and senators, and Israeli government officials. Remington was shot one day after he prayed at a rally of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz in Coeur d’Alene. Odom is a former Marine who has a history of mental issues, the police said. Remington’s condition was upgraded to fair at the Kootenai Health and Medical Center. White said Odom’s attack was “pre-planned” and that he was armed during the Sunday church service. He went to the parking lot after the service and shot the pastor. Records showed that he had three minor traffic violations dating to 2002. A resume available publicly showed Odom worked as a flight expedition technician for the Marine Corps from 2006 to 2010 in Camp Pendleton, California. He was given the Iraq Campaign Medal with one star. He graduated from the University of Idaho as a summa cum laude in biochemistry in 2014. During his college days, he was awarded a fellowship in 2013 for advanced research in aging. Originally posted 2016-03-14 06:31:10.
