Luke 18:1-18 ~ God give



Prayer changes over the years. When I was 16 and first believed - I was on fire. God was going to answer. Then He did not automatically and I assumed He was Big and I was little, so when I went to prayer groups I prayed like I meant all the prayers and went home and promised to pray and did not. It didn't have any affect. So, I was called on this, and I said, yeah, I pray as much as you all do. The response was a shunned - oh yeah. We were all teenagers. One person swore she prayed. We all looked at her.



And in my 20's 30's I did pray. Not much happened. But we all prayed. We were all busy and the prayer group drifted apart. We were very different people. We had little children and had jobs and no jobs with some with ill health. And financial troubles all of us. And the middle age older people - how could you relate - it seemed mostly health issues.

And in my 40's, a ladies group met for a number of years, but really they had sharp words for one another and this ended.

And in my 50's, we still meet with our original 17 year Couple's Class. We enjoy our Fellowship and discuss God in our lives. We have fun.


I did attend a Bible Study that met and we prayed with the healing videos of Judith and Reverend Francis MacNutt. He is a Harvard Catholic Priest who was forgiven by the Catholic Church for leaving to have a healing ministry and getting married to Judith. A many decades friend, Psychiatrist, friend of my mother, who was going blind from genetic failure of blood vessels - was healed from going to many, many, many, many healing classes. And all of their seminars.

Our Prayers, of our class: We did the video classes and saw a 90 year old priest healed from heart failure - by Jesus Christ - this priest is about 70 years old again and very, very happy. We saw an atheist/agnostic friend of the daughter of one of the group, from New Mexico, healed from repeat and scheduled terrible surgery as he arrived at MD Anderson. No other group was praying for him. He emailed us not to show up for his intense nerves, but said he was so glad someone was praying for him. When he arrived all was healed. This was his second bout with oral cancer and was very severe until healed by Jesus.

A man with gangrene in his second toe was prayed for on Tuesday. I told him I was sorry I had known to bring him my Tens Unit, please forgive me. He did. He was healed before his next day Doctor appointment on Wednesday. Jesus can heal just fine without the Tens Unit.


That intentional healing of people intent to heal and praying - had 3 miracles. Of Jesus Christ hearing our prayers for others.




What was the difference?

This was not a social gathering. The people in the group knew each other. It was not make a friend make conversation. This group was intent the purpose was to pray wellness into lives. The people in the group were mature Christians. They knew the Mercy and the Willingness of God. The discussions were serious about healing and about people we had heard had Jesus miracles. Conversations were about the Mercy and Grace of God Himself.











So, when we pray by ourselves - what can we hope for?

This really depends.

I've had some amazing conversations this week. Talk to a minister or blogger. You won't be identified but the Body of Christ will have an idea of where we are. Really.


I've talked with someone who voluntarily leads The Church with laity ideas. And this person is putting up a front as wealth and fierce believer, traveler, and is rather, playing at being a Christian. And in private, this laity person is - weeping - about Salvation. Truly worried. Why the noise for the uncertainty? Because this person is not sure we are all not kidding and full of gas. To grow in Jesus Christ - pretense to others about Jesus has to be gone. This person has iffy faith and in loud noises is making more iffy for this person - inside themselves.

If you are uncertain of faith - find someone to be real with. Be Real. Growth of a new branch or a new vine is real. It is not going to pretend to be an established full branch and really be a half afraid twig. You can memorize all the Scripture you want, but if you really doubt you are saved... Tell someone you trust. A real believer is not going to tell your husband, parent, sibling, friend that you are fake. But will with prayer, address the situation.

I have lived doubting faith. I had a time where I had to decide and I decided. Early on. From being Real about what I thought about God. To people I trust. This is not playground material - this is the basis of Life. Tears about Salvation are important and worth being quiet about to trustworthy people.



*****(Private discussions are not going to be revealed. Names are not said, identities will not be released. Be at peace.)





I have talked to someone mature in their faith, who feels discouraged about the faith of people around the faithful. This was not fake discouragement, but real. We do not pray to a God who gives us alllllll these prayers with few answers.

This relates to the Willingness and Goodness of God to whom we Trust. Father Mike Endicott, of the U.K., said that he used to really not enjoy being a priest after about 20 years. Getting down on his knees to beg God for health for cancer patients. Jobs for those going bankrupt. For a faithful mother with children on drugs she worked so hard to raise in the Church. People divorcing. Begging God to just - Care. And one day this blind priest said God spoke to him. "Mike - do you think I am a Bad Father?"

God continued, "You must think I am a Bad Father, but you are blind. And you see well that being blind was my Good Will and Plan for you. Why can't you see that M
y Good Will is not for you to judge. Why do you pray to Me, if you must beg ME for goodness? Why don't you lean into the Willingness of God? Looking for what is Good where the I Am would go?



If we pray to Abba with a second who said, "I will never leave or forsake you." Jesus. Jesus is with us.

What has God done for me? I've seen a spleen and kidney healed by the faithful signing a baby blanket to cover them with prayer. I've seen a brain injury from a terrible, terrible car accident healed from the same baby blanket idea. No chance of recovery. I've seen Jesus heal a thyroid tumor to no tumor. I've had one benign breast tumor named, "Vanished" and that happened. I've prayed for Leukemia to be healed and felt Jesus answer and seen the Leukemia vanish that week. I have seen someone about to be fired have a good conversation and get a raise. So many prayed for events, circumstances, - - - just seem to be held by God and healed in His Time. My mother was going to die according to 3 doctors and 3 Hospice members. Except the Word of God told me she would Live. Her hearing - was lost during the injury - and would heal over the next year. Doctors said a month would tell or 6 weeks. She is back to being able to hear. We will keep praying for her memory.


What is the Body of Christ - when we pull together for the Glory of God. And this happens time and time again.

This is the fuel of Life. To Love God. To be pleased with God. To accept what He brings. To enjoy life - to see prayers answered. To have Faith.

To do just a little good and know we have done what is in our hand to please our Father, Abba.



Luke 18:1-18


And he told them a parable to the effect that
they ought always to pray
and not lose heart.


2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’”

6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says.

And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily.


Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

This is being at peace with Salvation. This is believing God is God. This is the assurance we can pray to Jesus Christ and He will answer.



This is what the Word of God tells us to do. To believe God is willing. And when God is not willing - we trust He has a Plan.





Houston has seen unbelievable miracles in the willingness of many to help one another. To pray. To work. To donate. To connect. I can tell you with all joy, with all peace, with all happiness - we have seen Jesus seeing faith on this earth. And we have Joy and hope for the future.

Thank God.


Abba, our Abba,

Thank You Jesus goes with us.

Thank You for the many, many times You have blessed us. With Parents. Grandparents. Family. Health. Prayers answered. Treasure in Heaven. Healing. Jobs. Ideas. Solutions. Work. Joy. Effort rewarded. Ideas about the Future. Dreams answered. Dreams to be in awe over.

Hope for others. Joy in years to come. Nourishment of Body and Soul. Blessings of Care. Blessings to Love and Care for others.

The Privilege of seeing the Faithful rejoice. A sight of Heaven.

Knowing Your Promises are Steadfast. Knowing the Glory of being Invited to Heaven Forever. Knowing Jesus is Alive. Knowing Jesus is Alive. Knowing Jesus is Alive.

Thanks be to You, for ourselves and the ones we love. As we pray, we cover our communities, the state, the Nation, those in dire need of prayer for rain and fire. We pray over those who need health restored. We know we cover those people unto the Nation and the world. Jesus is Alive.

We ask You for good rest and good peace. Jesus is alive.

Amen and Amen.








♔ Lord Jesus Saves!  †

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
