I was thinking the other day, what privilege it is to to pray and to talk to The Lord. So I was lead to James 5:16 of which the second part considers effectual prayer of the righteous man or woman and that it avails much. As people who know me I study the word and I encourage you to do this. So I am going to share some of what I have learnt, effectual means effective, this means heartfelt, fervent prayer with emotion in it. It is also prayer in action, believing The Lord answers prayer, powerful ,productive and accomplishing its intended purpose. So today come boldly to The Lord, He hears and He answers prayer.

I was thinking the other day about the difference between conviction in our lives and condemnation. We as followers of The Lord must not stand still in our walk with The Lord. I have in my life, and it is sad to say, have gone back to see some Christian friends say after a few years or so, and they have not progressed in their walk with The Lord. It The Lord's desire that we grow in the knowledge of Him.
So as a child of The Lord, if we want to grow He will bring conviction into are lives as you can read in Hebrews 12: 5-7. This is a loving way to change us and do us good. We must realise the difference from conviction that moves us closer to the Lord and condemnation that moves you into feeling a failure and away from the Lord.
As a child of The Lord, His voice always seeks to build you up and be positive, the enemy just wants to condemn you and make you feel guilty.
So today recognise the voices - the devil puts guilt on you, and conviction from The Lord is a positive, to move you on in the Lord.

I am writing this to encourage you that was said in Matthew 1:23 about Mary, a child shall be born called Jesus and it will be Immanuel God with us. So today the Lord is with you everyday. He will never leave you are forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). We can be assured today of God's constant presence and support. As a believer today you can share all things with the Lord and he will help you and rejoice with you. Today be reminded to not dwell on your feelings but what the Lord has promised in his word. You will overcome because the Lord is on your side (Romans 8:37).

It is so important to know you are redeemed from sin (John 8:36). When Jesus died on the cross he set you free from all sin, past, present and future (Hebrews 10:17). I was looking at Psalm 103:3 knowing we are saved and healing go together. It is your inheritance as a child of God to live in health. The enemy will tell you are not worthy to approach the Lord for healing, this a lie. As this verse says because your saved you have the promise to be healed from all diseases. So today approach the Lord boldly in prayer and the Lord will touch your body with healing power.

I am writing this short testimony to encourage you. Let us begin.
Chigley first came to my house as a puppy, his owners often took trips abroad and he stayed with me, on average for around two weeks. It was so good having him but so sad when he left. I really felt that I would love to have him all the time. I really felt that one day Chigley would come to me on a permanent basis. It was my hearts desire and I reminded myself of Psalm 37:4. In April 2022 his owner became ill with his heart and had to see a consultant. It ended up Chigley was with me for 5 weeks. I asked my daughter if she could ask his owner if I could keep Chigley. Hid owners agreed. It was brilliant news for and showed me if you believe in the Lord he will give you your hearts desire. Chigley really is a gift from the Lord and is a wonderful pal. So today realise today the Lord can give you your hearts desire.
