The power of BELIEVING combined with the POWER of PRAYER. The question is now is how to really do that.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
Sometimes I ask that of myself Martin. What I believe is that I need to spend time in His word and see waht Jesus did, then apply it to my life. I sometimes wonder, when I pray for something...is it ny lackof belief or is it jsut not His timing. I have seen miracles take place when I prayed and othe times they don't but I have to remember, He may answer in a different way or a different time. I've been praying for many years for the salvation of members of my family but have yet to witness it. God bless you Martin...!!!!

Thanks Lloyd for your note. It encourages me more to JUST PRAY no matter what. Currently, I have several relationship problems with my mother. If I haven't spending time in HIS Word, my actions would have been worse. Thanks to my church here and to people like you who keeps on giving encouragement to others. God Bless.

HUMILITY in action. Sometimes, it's very difficult to be humble when you are the leader or manager or the owner. What the world needs now are SERVANT Leaders.

The reason why we need to have and be in a small group.
Lloyd S.
Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
So true, Martin. That's why I am part of a men's group of about 10 men who meet each Monday morning at 6:30 for an hour for a study. We use books which last about 6 weeks by Kay Arthur, of which there are many books and many dfferent topic focuses. Each book is supposed to be 6 week, of 40 minutes but we often find that they last much more than 6 weeks per book due to the discussions getting extended. It encourages us to stay on track. God bless

Yes, Llloyd. I have several small groups that I am leading. We just concluded Rick Warren's What On Earth Am I Here For 6 weeks campaign.Thanks for sharing about Kay Arthur, this is new to me. God Bless.

Here's the store site with the "40 Minute Bible Studies" link on the upper right side, Martin. http://www.preceptministries.ca/estore/index.php There are many topics to choose from. We've been going over 5 years now and have never run out of topics yet. Hope it helps you Martin. God bless

Martin C. from Philippines said:
Thanks Lloyd. I will visit the site.
Lloyd S.
Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
You're welcome, Martin. We each purchase a book of the chosen topic, usually in bulk as I believe we get a little better price. Our leader orders them and then we pay him. Don't really even need a Bible because all the related Scriptures are right there in each book. Hope it helps your group. God bless.

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. "

Daring Faith - I need to practice it and apply this faith in all that I will be doing. And in my faith in following Christ.

Likewise for me too, Martin. I want to have my faith anchored so deeply that I would have no fear or doubt that God is able, through His Spirit, to accomplish much in and through us.
