A method of prayer

Has your prayer life gotten dry? Perhaps you can organize your prayer into specific sections to help.
Back in the day, Jewish people entered the outer courts only while praising God.
So anytime you go into prayer, begin by entering with praise. Praise Him for what He has done.
After the Jewish people entered the outer courts they went to the altar where sacrifice was made. For us, we should focus on the cross after praising and thank God for salvation in Jesus.
Then it was the laver, where people washed themselves. Pray for cleansing of your ears, eyes, etc to be renewed, and used for His glory.
Then there was the manora, a candle stick and it was the only source of light in the Holy of holies. Invite the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. The Holy Spirit is the fuel for the light. Who is the light? You are the light! Jesus said “you are the light of the world”.
Then there was the table of show bread. The high priest could eat the show bread. Claim the promises of God. Eat the Word. While praying, claim the promises of God over your life and read the Word. Matt 4:4
Then there was the altar of incense. The incense went up to God. During your prayer, worship God. Worship Him for who He is.
Then there was the Ark of the Covenant. This is where the priest was interceding on behalf of the people. Intercede for others. 1 Tim 2:1-2

Sermon notes from Citw

Joy to the world the Lord has come Based on psalm 98 God’s promises are truly,  unlike men's promises. His second coming is at hand. 2 Peter 3:9-11 He's waiting for us to speed the Gospel. We are stewards of the mysteries. Have you been faithful in that stewardship? Live a life of evangelism. Share the Gospel. Christmas is a good time to also celebrate Christ's second coming. The celebration has been twisted by Satan to become commercialized and a frantic,  stressful time. The Lord's second coming should not be a fearful awaiting... Stashing food and weapons... But you should love His appearing. Rev 21:4-5 1 Cor 15:58 Rev 20:9 Always examine your life in light of his return. Acts 1:11 Live with intensity. Are you going to live knowing that Jesus could come back this year? Will you live this new year like you lived this past year? If so, you're likely to get the same result. The saved are born twice and die once and are raised in the first resurrection...

Today

Today David my brother in law who is visiting us for the summer, found a ticket on the train to Chicago. Soon after we arrived and left the train, a man came up asking for help in buying a ticket for the train. David had one! Praise God that this you g man now had this ticket, as God provides opportnities like this to impact the world in a positive way. Mom Reyes, my mom in law, told me a story about a homeless veteran who died outside in the winter months in Alexandria. She said that he was offered help and was off the streets for six months, but after that time he was back homeless. Mom said that the man, Jimmy, may have had trouble with his mind. He may have had trouble keeping a job in his state of mind. That's tragic.

Today at work, I was searching for a solution to a project, regarding calculating of shipping to Canada with Google Checkout, and was browsing in FireFox, with some search results open in a window. I was then about to open up an Internet Explorer window, which had some examples to resolve the issue at hand, though in XML code, which was different than what I use at work, but felt in my hear not to open that window, but to continue searching in FireFox. After continuing to search in FireFox, the next search result I opened included an example to Canada with the code which I use. Weeeeoeoeoeooewoowowowowowowoow owwoowowowo. Obedience to the Lord is woowowowowoowowoeooeooeooewoowo eowoowoeoowowwwowowowo awesome.
