Becoming Teachable

“Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!”

JOHN 19:28-30

The prayer of the disciple enjoys perfect communion with the Lord. In this journey to becoming a disciple, the Lord teaches his plan and breaks what was your old plan. Through this, he teaches you how to pray and hear his voice so that you can be certain to always be doing his will - as Jesus.

In such learning, never allow yourself to be the God of your prayer. People enjoy directional prayers for fixes to things the Lord requires not to fix - thus creating angst in the person. Come to the Lord as your father - bow to him and ask for forgiveness - ask him to take you and let his will be done in you in Jesus name.

Make yourself right with God - then pray without ceasing. The prayers of a righteous person - a person in right standing with God - are powerful and effective. The prayers in the spirit of God are given and made by God himself through The Holy Spirit. Let the Lord finish his work in you and you will heal and teach and love as Christ himself. You will be one with Christ Jesus as Jesus is with our father.

It is one thing to wrestle with God and another to wrestle with things before God. Never wrestle with God. Always wrestle with matters before God to work them out with God. The God of life and the creator of the heavens and earth designed you for communion with him - to be guided by him - and to rely on him. God is love and he loves you and he asks you to come unto him and have faith in him that his love is perfect for you.
