How to Read the Bible with Feelings------Listen to the author's heartbeat.

                                                                                       







Why did I write this book?

Finally, I have published my book, How to Read the Bible with Feelings, and I feel happy and relieved. I have no intention of writing a book since I am not the kind of person who could write something with all the details and passage after passage. However, I do enjoy writing and expressing my feelings towards certain issues. When I first started to write this book, I only wanted to share how I felt about a few selected passages of Genesis. I believe the Lord wanted me to keep on writing, and as I wrote, more inspiration popped up in my mind, and I've been flushed with feelings, meditation, insights, and reflections from heaven. Otherwise, I won't be able to finish writing this book from Genesis to Revelation. Thus, I want to give all the glory to God, and I pray that God can use this book to reach more people and bless all the readers of this book as well.

What have I learned during this process?

There are times when I just feel like giving up on writing a book that needs a lot of attention and focus. But the Lord kept on encouraging me by saying that "you can do it and you are doing fine." Thus, I finished the first manuscript of this book within 6 months. That was so amazing to me. 

By the time I had finished the first manuscript, I needed to face the editorial issue, and it took me a whole year to find two different editors to deal with it. Since everyone was busy, and I had to double check everything after the editorial work was done, it took me another few months to do it. The process was slow, and sometimes I fell into a deep sleep while checking the manuscript again and again. Since I am not a computer, I always screw up all the positions in the word file and sometimes the font as well. Then all the 123 images were supposed to be copyrighted images, but I had to delete all the images because I didn't want to deal with all the copyright issues for each image. As a consequence, I had to design all the 123 images in Powerpoint by myself again, and it wasn't that easy for me. I thank God for giving me creativity with my limited design skills to finish this task. The next step is to deal with the book cover issue again, and I thank God for once again assisting me in resolving this issue with a beautiful book cover.

Finally, uploading the file to the publishing website still needs to go through a lot of difficulties, but thank God that all these problems have been solved again. In the whole process, I have learned perseverance, patience, and focus to finish the process and accomplish what God has placed on my heart in the beginning. Above all else, I have learned that apart from God, we can do nothing. Thus, again, I want to give all the glory to God for this book.

What will this book do to you?

It will lead you to:

.  Reflect on selected passages from Genesis to Revelation with new

   insight.

.  Re-examine your relationship with God through 123 colorful images. 

.  Restore your interactive communication with God.

.  Review your life through reflective questions on God's word.

.  Refresh your vision through the personal sharing of the author.

.  Return to your feelings and allow emotions to flow out according to

   God's way.

.  Revive your passion with a fresh fire for God's kingdom.

Whenever you finish reading this book, you may get to know God and yourself in a new way. With this transformation, you will impact the world with a new anointing by the Holy Spirit. At the same time, you will be a blessing to others with this new outpouring of love from Jesus, according to God’s word.

Insights from this book

When Eve started to blame Satan for her sin, Adam did the same. He first blamed God, who made the woman, and then started to blame Eve for causing him to sin. You can immediately see the terrible result of sin and the consequence of disobedience to God’s word. Everything spiraled down very quickly.

So, we are responsible for our own choices, not the ones that gave us the freedom to choose. How often do you blame others when something bad happens? I must admit that I sometimes do it too. That is why we need God to help us see ourselves in the mirror as the people we truly are. For without God’s help, we will keep on blaming God or others around us. Never would we self-willingly view ourselves as being the problem, even though it’s the result of our own free will.

I still remember my first experience of hearing from God many years ago. It was amazing because I was completely led by the Lord to purchase a suit at a cheaper price. It was after my prayer for God’s guidance that I tried to buy a suit in one of my city districts. The Lord told me not to get off the subway by the time the train door opened. A small voice in my mind was telling me to get off in another district, but I had no prior intention of going there for my suit because that was an expensive district for shopping. Once I got off the subway train after I reached that other station, the Lord told me to go from an exit that I would not normally choose. By the time I walked out of the exit, I saw a suit store right in front of me. And woop, was it something? However, I thought this suit store would be expensive since I did not carry much money in my wallet. I was about to go to the nearby instant teller to withdraw more money for my suit. However, when I just took one step forward, the Lord told me that I did not have to grab more money since I already had enough money in my wallet. But I knew that I only had $500. Anyway, with faith, I entered the suit store in my obedience to God’s voice. When I reached the door, a dummy in a suit was on display. The advertisement hanging on the dummy stated that the suit was just under $500 today with a discount, and there were many choices of color inside the store as well. I went in with joy and checked each of the colors, and started to ask God which color I should spend my money on since they were all the same price anyway. The Lord said, "It is your own choice!" In the end, I was wholly satisfied with the purchase of my suit, and this experience taught me to listen to God on a regular basis.

Review

*****
Reviewed by Fiona M Campbell

Must read 
I felt the Holy Spirit working through this book. It would be a fabulous addition to the bookshelf of every Christian household. 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my spiritual and emotional journey with this book. It is presented in well-chosen Bible sections, with the author's explanations and thoughts. Each segment concludes with questions for the reader to ponder and suggestions for meaningful prayer. The beauty of this book was that its effect was not just through the words but also in the time spent with God as a result.

 

I appreciated the author's honesty in recalling his own faith journey. This helped build a rapport with the reader.

 

I particularly liked the author's analogy of God's plan as a picture, requiring the uniqueness of all of us to make it a masterpiece. 

 

The section regarding Angels and Demons interested me. The fact that there are 300 verses regarding the former and 80 regarding the latter was new to me. This was nicely linked to Hebrews 1:13-14. ' Angels are powerful beings created by God in order to carry out God's plans. 

 

'Satan doesn't shy away from finding his own way to destroy babies or cause premature deaths to make sure fewer people fulfil God's plan in their lives,' 

This gave me something to think about, as I always equated miscarriage/stillbirth with there being a reason- that the mother's life would be at risk from the pregnancy or the child would have a life of pain and suffering due to a disability. This book would be a great book- club read, as there were many topics I felt merited discussion- not just with God but also with fellow believers.

 

These were some of the questions posed by the author:

 

Are we ready for the return of Jesus? 

Are you an old-fashioned Christian, or are you willing to be changed by the Holy Spirit into something new?

Are you on fire for Jesus, as cold as ice, or somewhere in between?

 

I liked the thought-provoking section about Communion. So often it becomes a ritual, rather than the celebration it should be. Similarly, the idea of 'relax, wait and yield to the Holy Spirit with both hands open. Prayer/conversation with God should be a two-way process, yet many people forget to listen and receive his response.

 

I will definitely be recommending this book to members of my church and Christian friends. It is perfect for those seeking to deepen their faith and would work well as daily devotional material. This is a book which I feel will stand the test of time and have a well-earned place on the bookshelf in every Christian household.

Seven ways to listen to God's voice

                                                                                            

Do you realize that God is speaking to you in your daily life? 

I began to enjoy prayer after discovering that God responds when I pray. God can speak to us in many ways, but I will share seven ways that God used to speak to His people in the Bible.


  1. 1. God will speak through dreams.

In the Book of Genesis, we find that God spoke to Abimelek through a dream to warn the king of Gerar about his attempt to marry Sarah, the wife of Abraham, just because he didn't know the truth. But God came to Abimelek in a dream one night and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman." (Genesis 20:3) Besides this instance, God also spoke in a dream to the magi in Jesus' time to warn them not to return to Herod, but told them to leave the country by another way.(Matthew 2:12). Yes, God will speak to us in a dream even today, so develop the habit of recalling your dream in your mind before you wake up (because once you wake up, you will probably forget it) and try to record it as soon as possible on your notepad or mobile phone before you forget it. It will be the first step to understanding what God is trying to communicate to you in your dream before you know the interpretation of it. 


     2. God will speak through visions.

The Spirit of God revealed a vision to the prophet Ezekiel (Ezekiel 11:25). The prophet was being led to the exiles in Babylonia. Daniel also saw a vision of the Lord on the bank of the river Tigris during the time of Cyrus, king of Persia.(Daniel 10:7). Does God only speak to people with a vision in the Old Testament? No, look at Peter in Acts 10:9-16 and 11:5). In a vision, God spoke to the apostle about the gentiles also being welcome to the kingdom of God as well. 


     3. God will speak through the prophets, or people with prophetic gifts.

Without the prophets, we wouldn’t be able to understand God’s will at a particular moment of time, such as when God used the prophet Jonah to call for the repentance of the residents of Nineveh even though the prophet didn’t even want to go to this city in the beginning. The prophet Agapus passed a message of warning to the church that there was going to be a big feminine coming to the entire Roman world, so the church could prepare for all these issues when they finally came true in the reign of Claudius. (Acts 11:27-30) The Bible also mentions that there are nine spiritual gifts, and one of them is the gift of prophecy, or what some people would call a prophetic gift. That means God will frequently speak to a person and use that person to speak out to those whom He wants to speak to. The message will always be a personal message to an individual when it falls into the category of personal prophecy. 


    4. God will speak in a still small voice.

The Prophet Elijah will be a perfect example of God’s way of speaking to us. The prophet had just been through a big spiritual battle with all the false prophets on the mount of Carmel and fled from the life-threatening message from Jezebel. He just wanted to quit. However, when God restored his prophet, Elijah, he heard the Lord speak to him in a new way, "a still small voice," as the scriptures stated. (1 Kings 19:11-13)


   5. God will speak through angelic beings.

The Lord will use angels to speak to us whenever he wants to. For example, God used two angels to save Lot and his family before he wanted to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. (Genesis 19:1-17) God sent his angel to tell Joseph that he shouldn’t be afraid but should take Mary as his wife. (Matthew 1:20) 


   6. God will speak through animals.

God will sometimes use a funny way to speak to us when we don’t pay attention to what he says. For example, the Lord used a donkey to speak to Baalem when this prophet wasn’t listening to God. (Numbers 22:29 –31) Do you remember how God spoke to Jonah and drew his full attention to speak to him? By using a big fish, Jonah started to really listen to God in the belly of this big fish (whether it was a whale or not, we are not sure). For Elijah, God used the ravens to bring him food day and night to show God’s providence and care for him as well. (According to 1 Kings 17:2–6)


   7. God will speak through the scriptures.

(which is the most important and our standard of discernment as well.)

As the apostle Paul said, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Nothing is more important than God’s written word. Although there are many ways that God will speak to us, no voice or message can be contradicted with God’s words, and we should use this as a standard and measurement of all the voices and messages that are claimed to be from God. In order to do so, you will at least have to read your Bible every day and do your Bible study often. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to know what the scripture says about the message you will encounter, whether in a church or with an individual.


Conclusion

There are many other ways that God will speak to his people as well. As long as God uses it, we need to be aware of how God speaks to us. Will God only use the Scripture to speak to us? In principle, yes. In our daily situation? No, we can’t limit God, since God uses a variety of different ways to speak to his servants in the bible as well. Some people may argue that since the canon hasn’t been completed in that period of history, God would use different ways to speak. However, after the canon has been established and the New Testament churches have been built on solid foundations, we don’t need any other ways to listen to God except the Bible alone. Again, I can’t agree with people like that since we can’t limit God and God loves to speak to us in his own way with his own strategy. Since we are all created differently, some would receive a message with a vision or a dream in a better way. Some would be born with a rational mind. That type of person may be better able to communicate in a more logical way or with a written message on a piece of paper. It really depends on whether you are a right-brained or left-brained dominant person. God knows what the best way is for you to receive his voice, and we should never narrow down how God speaks to us. He knows what will be best for us in terms of communication, so just yield to the Holy Spirit and experience God’s voice in a new way. Whenever you encounter difficulties in hearing God’s voice, it is a wise decision to pray for confirmation and see how God will confirm his voice with the scripture and also by your Christian mentor or pastor, who knows how to discern God’s voice as well. Hearing God’s voice is an exciting experience and also a life-long learning process. I pray that you will become more mature in your communication with God each and every day, and don't be afraid to make mistakes along the way. One tip I can give you is that the more you draw near to Jesus, the more you can discern his voice. As Jesus says clearly, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." (John 10:27) The more you draw near to Jesus, the more you know whether it is God’s voice or not. A sheep knows the voice of the shepherd due to their close relationship. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in your communication with God, and I am sure your prayer will be rewarded.

What does the Bible has to say about healing ?


                               


                                                                                       



                                                                                      

There are many Bible verses telling us that God heals . There are also many teaching from the Scripture telling us many things relating to healing and how to deal with diseases as well. The following 5 facts will help us to have a better understanding on the issue of healing.

1. Sickness and diseases are the result of sin

There are clear teaching in the bible saying that whenever God's people will obey God's command, they will be blessed (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). However, when God's people are walking away from God's words and committed in a sinful life and disobedience, it will cause many curses of God to come and diseases are one of the result from all  these curses. For in Deuteronomy (28:58-61), it said :

58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name--the LORD your God-- 59 the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60 He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.

2. God will heal His people 

God will never enjoy punishing His people and seeing them attack by diseases. However, since the result of sin is terrible and Satan will gain the power to attack on any people who doesn't obey God. God in His mercy still promised that He will be the healer of His people.

Exodus 15:26, "I am the LORD that health thee." He is truly a merciful God who is willing to heal our diseases and That's why he said it clear to His people that He will heal their sickness and diseases.

3. Jesus has already paid for our transgressions

We really have to thank God for Jesus, the son of God has came to this world to died for all our sin on the cross and because the 39 lashings on His back, we are healed.That's the payment for our healing. As what Isaiah 53:5 says that :

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed"

4.  All Christians have the authority to heal in the name of Jesus

Before Jesus leaved this world to heaven , He commanded His disciples to perform signs and wonders for the purpose of witnessing to the gospel. One of the authority he has already given to all the followers of Christ in Mark 16 :18 being that :

" they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

When we start to lay hands on the sick and command the sickness to be gone by faith, healing miracles will happen.

5. Healing is for today

There are no words in the Bible saying that God will only heal His people in the past but not today.In fact, the Bible clearly saying that  "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrew 13:8) That's why , all the followers of Christ can boldly pray for others healing without any doubt and fear.

Conclusion :

In order to remove all the obstacles that may become a hindering or blockage of healing, lead the person to confess one's own sin as what the Bible says that " If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) (especially related to that particular disease and some need to deal with generational curses as well) and also dealing with unforgiveness"and forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors."(Matthew 6 :12) are the usual two main areas that need to be solved before we can see healing take places. However, there are still many unknown reasons that we won't be able answer them all when dealing with non-healing issue after prayer, we can only being faithful to God's word and keep on praying for the sick and obey on God's command in this life.so....Go and start to pray for people and see healing miracles happen in the name of Jesus, now.

How do I pray in the Holy Spirit ?

                                                                                       

                   Holy Spirit Come T-shirt, Click Here And Buy Now.


        There are so teaching about prayers in the Christian churches but on e kind of prayer is among the most important one. That is learning " how do I pray in the Holy Spirit ?" Who is the Holy Spirit ? The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and the Holy Spirit is the only person of the Trinity who is still staying on earth after Jesus had ascended to heaven. Since our  heavenly Father is in heaven and so does Jesus right now, it would be hard for Christian to stay in this world alone and keep on fighting with the devil in spiritual warfare. We need to thank God that the Holy Spirit had came to this world as Jesus has promised before his ascension to heaven.The Holy Spirit had came in the form of a tongue in fire and fell on all those 120 people who were in upper room in their prayer time according to Acts 2.The Holy Spirit surely had came as fire and all Christian will be empowered by the filling of the Holy Spirit. However, the question still remains is that " How do I pray in the Holy Spirit ?" The following 4 tips are the answer to this question :

1. You need to be baptized  by the Holy Spirit


    All Christians already got the holy Spirit when they first accepted Jesus as the own personal
    savior. But to filled by the Holy Spirit, one must be baptized by the Holy Spirit just like what 
    Jesus and other apostles who wrote the entire new Testament have experienced. Take a look on the Bible and you will see Jesus experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit right after his water baptism by John The Baptist. Same as experience have been found after the Holy Spirit first descended from heaven and baptized all the 120 people in the upper room. The apostle Paul and other disciples of Christ in the early church received the same experience as well and all of them starting to speak in tongue right after their water baptism and experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit by speaking in tongue as a witness to all the public as well. that's why we need to first invited the holy Spirit to fill us and baptized us before we can pray in the Holy Spirit. It is true that you already got the Holy Spirit when you first accepted Jesus in your heart but it is just like a tiny glass that contains only a few percentage of water inside the glass and not in it's fullness until it spell out of the glass. It is just like a car who can still run on the road with only 20 percent of electricity charged but it will never go far away (unless it is fully charged). That's why baptized by the Holy Spirit and be filled with the Holy Spirit in full is so important to our Christian and prayer life.


2. Speak in tongue as a sign for the the baptism of the Holy Spirit


     Many people would argue that whether speak in tongue is the first sign for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is hard to get to know the this truth completely on earth unless God will help us to solve this debatable problem. However, we can't argue that there is one of the clear signs for those who has been baptized by the Holy Spirit do speak in tongue. That's an experience that we can't deny about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In order for all the Christians to experience how to pray in the Holy Spirit, we certainly need to invite the Holy Spirit to baptize us and give us this prayer language from the Holy Spirit.


3.Start to pray in tongue once you have received this gift from the Holy Spirit


   The Bible clearly states that pray in tongue is pray according to the Holy Spirit. "Likewise the
   Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the
   Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words".(Romans 8:26) We may not be able understand what is the most suitable prayer in some cases and actually we will alwyas be running out of words to pray in our won language. However, thanks to the Holy Spirit that he can pray for us through His won language. Pray in tongue since it is not just edify us "The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church" (1 Cor 14:4) but it also help us to pray according to the will of God. For sure it will be the best prayer in the world for all Christians.


4.Pray in tongue will build up your faith and magnify God


   When we pray in tongue we are  building up and exercising our own faith since we don't know
    what we are speaking about. As the bible says that "But you, beloved, building yourselves up
    in your most holy faith  and praying in the Holy Spirit"(Jude 1:20). It is not just an act of faith
but it is a language that will praise God and magnify God that we don't even know about. "For they heard them speak with tongues and  magnify God." ( Acts 10:46) That's why we really have to use this prayer language often and always in our prayer life.


Conclusion


     Although the Paul has certain instruction in the Bible to the Corinthians on how to use Spiritual gifts with love and give a clear on speaking in tongues and some others Spiritual gifts practices in the 12 to 14 chapters of 1 Corinthians. He has never discouraged the Corinthians on using their Spiritual gifts in building up the body of Christ. Whenever we can remember the 39 verse of Chapter 14 "So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. ", we will have the boldness to keep praying in tongues in our prayer life. Many testimonies has been telling us that pray in tongue will sometimes move God to answer our prayer with miracles as well, That's why , we should always use this prayer language for our Christian churches. Practically speaking, at least 15-20 minutes a day would be a good practice but actually there is no time limited since the Holy Spirit may lead you to pray according to His time and schedule. But we still maintain our daily habit to make use of this language as often as we can.

Prayer simply means communication with God

        There are many definition on prayer but to make it simple : Prayer is a communication process with God. When we talk about process, it really involve sender and receiver. We are the sender in the and God is the receive (at least in the beginning). Then it will make a 180 degree turns : God will be the sender and we will be the receiver. Let me explain about this process in the following.

1. We are the sender

We are the one who always request on prayer and we always ask God about this or that. Although prayer shouldn't be like that as (4:7 Phil) states that but practically speaking ask for God about something are what most Christians would do all the time.That's why we have a message to send to God whether that message is regarding to the need of solving a problem or dealing with a issue that we need help from God.

2. God is the receiver

When we pray to God , we definitely want Him to receive our message and for sure God will answer prayer all the time even the way he answer is not what we expected at all time. Sometimes, God will answer our prayer with things we have never thought of and always surprise us with more blessing.

3. God as a sender

God will answer our prayer with response and He wants us to receive His message. How can we receive God's message ? That begin another process of communication called "Listening To God". Although we have the Bible as our authority for God's answer and promises, God will also answer our prayer with some individual path according to our situation at that moment. That's why some people have reported that God has spoken to them through the following paths : dreams, visions, words of knowledge, prophetic word, Sermon, Bible verses, words of wisdom, angelic visitation, heaven (or sometimes even hell visit) experience and Jesus appear to individual as well.

4. We as a receiver

For sure God will answer our prayer but it is our responsibility to discern and responds in what we receive. We need discernment because the message can comes from 3 different resources : God or His angels, our own thinking and demons as well.That's why we need to discern the message and weight it with the Bible and confirmation from God (if it is not sure and without peace). At the same time, it is good to share the message with someone who has experience in listening to God and get more opinion from such a person.

Conclusion

prayer is a learning process and as tends to seek God with all our heart, we will growth through this learning process and get to know how God loves to communicate with us each and everyday.

For sure , in the morning when you first jump out of your bed will always be the best time to pray if you can get up early. Of course you can set another time of the day if you feel so rush in the morning. However, the fact being that you will either getting worry about things of the day once you start to work or you will just feel tired during the night. If you can give God the best hour of your day, you will experience how power is the first hour of your day will be after you meet God in the morning.

2. Starting by giving thanks and praise to God

    The Bible clearly states that "Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.(Psalm 100:4)" When we tried to enter into God's presence, it is always a good way to start up with thanks giving and praise. You can simply thank God for His daily provision to you and your family, thank God for your breathe, thank God for a good sleep, etc. Thank God with small things then, you will feel how blessing you already are for having all these. Everything is a grace of God and God owe us nothing. As long as we can remember this, we will have tons of things to thank God for. We can also start to praise His names since God has many names revealed to us in the bible and each name has its own meaning to tell us how great our God is. You can also praise God for what he did for you  or anythings or anybody that comes up to your mind that you need to praise God for. (That will fill your first 10-15 minutes up in your prayer time)
3. Starting by listening to God's voice

    In this sweet hour of prayer, you don't just keep on speaking at all times, but you can sing out your praise as well and then get into a moment of listening to God's voice. It is better for you to prepare a pen and a notepad (or a notebook) besides you while you start to listen to God. When God speak anything special to you, you can just write it down for your memory or later meditation. God can speak to you with a small still voice in your mind just like when he spoke to the prophet Elijah. He can speak to you with words from the bible, a vision or a picture during your prayer time to you.God will speak to each of us in a unique way that He wants us to get the message .Just sensitive to His voice in this hour when you need to keep your mouth shut and let God speaks.You will be enjoy what He is going to say to you and this is one of the sweetest moment of your prayer hour. (this listening process will takes you to another 10-15 minutes)

4. Starting by Proclaiming God words out aloud

    By proclaiming God's words, you will build up your own faith in prayer.By the time you proclaim God's words , you are the one who is listening as well. God's words will just enter into your spirit and build up your faith at the same time. Since there is power in what you say "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.(Proverbs 18:21)" and also in the words of God So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;It will not return to Me empty,Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.(Isaiah 55 :11)", there is something going on in the spirit realm as you proclaim God's word out loud. You can choose 10 verses each morning and experience the power of God in this prayer moment in your life.(5-10 minutes is gone)

5. Starting by pray for yourself and your own prayer items

   We will not place our own self in the beginning of the prayer time because God will always be the first focus of our prayer time. However, it is also important to pray for ourselves since God told us to love others like how we love ourselves as what Jesus summarized about the essence of the commandments. We also have the responsibility to manage things about our life. That's nothing wrong to pray for your self except we always place God as our priority in our prayer time. We can also pray for our family members and anything we need to pray about in that last 15 minutes of our one hour prayer meeting with God. (15 minutes will be gone by now).

Conclusion :

   It is how easy to pray for an hour with the suggest timetable from above and you will never right out of things to pray if you will try to use this plan. In case you really have nothing to pray about, you can at least read God's words and get to know God in an intimate way within this hour. It will certainly build up your spirit and draw you closer to God. Actually you can pray bin tongue if you are really running out of things to pray because it is a supernatural language that the Holy Spirit loves to give to every believer. (whether you view it a sign of Spirit-filled experience or as a first sign in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or any charismatic experience related to this. ) It really helps out your pray and also edify our faith as well.That's why we will never run out of prayer items and we can always pray with the help of the Holy Spirit who can always teach us how to pray according to the Father's will. Start to pray for an hour per day tomorrow, you will experience the joy of prayer and the power from this special prayer meeting with God.
