[__ Prayer __] I am not sure what i am doing... but here it goes!

[JoJo]

May the enemy be rebuked in Jesus name, and be kept from keeping you in bondage to his lies and deceptions. May a hedge of protection be built up around you, dear Evointrinsic, and may you come to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. For it is in the name of Jesus Christ that I pray this for you. Amen.

I am also in agreement with this prayer. Amen.

As we pray for you, ask God to give you faith to overcome your unbelief. Pray for God to open your heart and mind to His Truth only.

If you ask of him a fish, will he give you a serpent? According to Jesus Christ, No.

• 9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:9-13

Thank you Michael. That was on spot.

Evointrinsic, Solo is correct. The call to faith is like a knock on the door. We don't schedule who knocks and when. We don't even know for sure if we'll hear the knock unless we are listening. But we need to open the door and let Him in.

No one wakes up one day and chooses that day as their day of salvation. Though there are times in a believer's life when one wakes up displeased with their walk with God and decides to "recommit" themselves to a life of faith and service.

In other words, there are times where we may say, God, I do believe but please help me in my disbelief. Basically what that means is turning one's faith back from the intellectual to the spiritual. It is this intellect that sometimes gets the best of us and we, even as believers, sin. It's not that we are hypocrites, it's an issue of ego. Many, most (if not all) believers have an ongoing war going on within between spirit and ego. This is a battle that isn't even evident until one is indwelled with the Spirit of God.

This is NOT a battle anyone should take on, on their own.

If and when you are sincere, God will let you know in His own way & time and on His terms that He is calling you. There is no step by step formula in which one achieves salvation. This may seem to defy logic; it goes against all empirical knowledge. Salvation is a gift from God. The one key element is that when the gift is given, be sure not to refuse it. No one likes their gift returned to them, especially God. Some may even say it is a nonrefundable gift (irresistible grace).

Who would anyone want to return such a gift anyway?


Dear Lord, if it is your will, I pray that seekers such as Evointrinsic hear Your voice and respond in accordance to Your calling. As always, I ask this in Jesus' name. :amen
