The long wait is over! The Gospel bus has finally rolled off the streets of Villasis, and Asingan, Pangasinan -- it’s first destination -- last January 9 to 12, 2012. The maiden evangelistic (Gospel bus) crusade brought a total harvest of 408 souls for the Lord Jesus, and 17 who were healed from various diseases. On its second leg from January 17 to 19, the team moved to Binmeckeg, Pangasinan, and Rosario in La Union where a total of 539 souls were won for Christ, and seven people healed. It was a sight to behold people in tears who hunger and thirst for the Word responding during altar calls . We thank the Lord for using our evangelist-pastors and volunteer workers who comprise the Gospel team for giving their time and talent for this heavenly cause.

GLEANINGS: Our Helper in Prayer

 

Scripture Reading: John 14:16-18

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

 

One of the greatest hindrances to our prayer life is a lack of perseverance. Oftentimes people quit praying too soon. We feel that since we have asked, our answer should immediately be forthcoming or our need should quickly be met. God is not a bellhop, waiting to give us just what we want the moment we ask. We often have to exercise patience and continue praying.

All Christians are given the Holy Spirit to seal their relationship to God, and it is He who counsels believers how to pray. (Romans 8:26) We have the idea that we need to come to God only when we have a need. However, prayer is about intimacy. If God gave us whatever we wanted as soon as we asked, we would not be able to understand the dynamic of our relationship — we might never learn important skills like patience or dependence.

 

Think of Paul, who tells us that he implored three times for his “thorn in the flesh to be removed before God gave a firm answer of no. (2 Corinthians 12:8) This probably refers to three protracted periods of time that Paul begged for relief. When we have been praying for a long time about something and don’t feel as if our words are going anywhere, that is not the time to quit. We have to pray through those situations. God is listening attentively to our cries, and His Spirit is our constant companion — even when we cannot “feel” His presence or involvement. Instead of ceasing to pray, will you call on the Holy spirit to aid you in persevering?

 

“Whatever you ask in My Name, , that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” – John 14:13-14
