Lord, Remember Me - Rom. 8: 26, 34 - Praying For You


This is Namma for Christ with the 89th inspirational message dated Wednesday, September 28th, 2016.  The title of this message is, "Lord, Remember Me - Romans 8: 26, 34 - Praying For You".  The scripture comes from inspiring words written by the Apostle Paul as found in the eighth book of Romans: 

Romans 8:26

New International Version (NIV)


26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.

Romans 8:34

New International Version (NIV)



34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

For many years, I have enjoyed reading the daily inspirational messages as provided by RBC Ministries in their publications of "OUR DAILY BREAD".  This morning, Wednesday, September 28th, I read the message for the day and found it to be so beautiful and inspiring, I wanted to share it with you (see the below message). RBC Ministries has the website of:  www.rbc.org so that you can read and enjoy life-changing wisdom of daily inspirational messages based on scripture from the Bible



Praying For You Today

The Spirit himself intercedes for us . . . . [Christ Jesus] is also interceding for us.—Romans 8:26, 34

When we face a perplexing situation or a tough problem, we often ask our brothers and sisters in Christ to pray for us. It’s a great encouragement to know that others who care are holding us up to God in prayer. But what if you don’t have close Christian friends? Perhaps you live where the gospel of Christ is opposed. Who will pray for you?

Romans 8, one of the great, triumphant chapters of the Bible, declares, “We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. . . . The Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God” (Rom. 8:26-27). The Holy Spirit is praying for you today.
In addition, “Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us” (v. 34). The living Lord Jesus Christ is praying for you today.
Think of it! The Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Christ mention your name and your needs to God the Father, who hears and acts on your behalf.
No matter where you are or how confusing your situation, you do not face life alone. The Spirit and the Son are praying for you today! —David McCasland
Dear God, I bow in humble thanks for the prayers spoken by the Holy Spirit and by Your Son today—for me. What an amazing truth!
The Holy Spirit and Jesus are always praying for you.

Included below is the song and video, "Lord, Remember Me", sung

powerfully and with anointing by the late inspirational Gospel

artist, Albertina Walker (1929-2010).

If He Did It Before... Phil. 4:13 - God Is My Source of Strength



This is Namma for Christ with the 88th inspirational message dated Thursday, September 15th, 2016.  The title of this message is, "If He Did It Before... Phil. 4:13 - God Is My Source of Strength".  The scripture comes from powerful words written by the Apostle Paul: 

Philippians 4:13 
(WEB)

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

The below excerpts were taken from the ECHOES Church School Adult Student Book - lesson date of (9/18/16):

God Is My Source of Strength


Isaiah 40:28

New International Version (NIV)

28 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and His understanding no one can fathom.
Sometimes reading the morning newspaper wears me out emotionally.  I get tired from reading about miseries in the world that no one seems capable of stopping; about the seemingly endless number of natural disasters that take so many lives and cause so much pain; about leaders whose goals often include silencing the voices of those who believe that Jesus is God.

What keeps me from slipping into despair is knowing that God is more powerful than all the forces that threaten.  Though the enemies' beliefs and their dark forces may seem powerful, they are no match for the God I worship or the truth He conveys through His Word.  Though the forces of nature may seem overwhelming at times, they still must follow God's rules and stay within the limits He's established for them.  And though some leaders may not seem to be on God's side, God can cause them to fall into insignificance at any time, sometimes due to their own failures, but perhaps more often because of someone God brings along to take their place.

I might not understand at times why He doesn't always act immediately to rescue His people from trying circumstances.  But I am confidant that God will continue to intervene in human affairs so that HIS WILL on earth is accomplished through the forces who rule over us - or in spite of them.  My trust is in the everlasting power of God and in my knowledge that HE IS GREATER than all the forces around me.  That gives me the strength to rise above events that could drag me down.

Draw Your Strength from God

God says that He is more powerful than those who rule over us, as well as the natural forces around us.  He also says He never grows tired of us.  Knowing this can be of great help when we face difficulties that can arise from our own failures, as well as ones that come from forces out of our control.


Remember as Philippians 4:13 confirms - "YOU" can do all things through Christ, who strengthens "YOU".

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

GOD, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS "WITH YOU"!

Please listen and enjoy the below song/video (with lyrics) as powerfully sung by Tye Tribbett singing, "If He Did It Before (Same God)".

TRUST In You - Proverbs 3:5-6



This is Namma for Christ with the 87th inspirational message dated Tuesday, September 6th, 2016.  The title of this message is, “TRUST In You – Proverbs 3:5-6”.  The scripture comes from one of the most well-known verses in the Bible as written by King
Solomon:

 

 

Proverbs 3:5-6

King James Version (KJV)

 

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

YOU CAN TRUST IN GOD!

God knows what is BEST for you! TRUST and BELIEVE!

You may… at times in your life….”think” that you know what is BEST for your life…BUT, GOD KNOWS BETTER!

Romans 8:28
King James Version (KJV)

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

God created you…He’s your Father in heaven….TRUST HIM!

He sees the beginning…the end….and all which lies in-between…TRUST HIM!

He gave you JESUS – LEAN on HIM, DEPEND on HIM – TRUST HIM!

He brought you from your past, He KNOWS what is happening presently in your life…and HE KNOWS your future: TRUST HIM!


Lastly, the Lord said in Jeremiah 29:11 -


Jeremiah 29:11

New International Version (NIV)


11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Please enjoy the below song/video (with lyrics) of the beautifully sung song entitled,” Trust In You” as performed by Lauren Daigle.

Lauren Daigle reminds us that, “even when God doesn't move the mountains or things are different than our heart desires, He's still as faithful.
