[__ Prayer __] Trusting God

I need to trust God more in that He has saved me from my sins and will keep me forever. I know that He is able to keep me forever, but I just want Him so bad and want His peace so bad! Please also pray for me to read his word more and that I grow in the Spirit so I may be assured of His presence in me. Lastly, please pray for me not to be a lukeworm Christian, but one who will sacrificially love and serve the Lord under all circumstances no matter what they may be. Thank you brethren.
 
Azlan,

I have prayed for you in this matter, and I wanted to share with you that recently I have been studying 1 John and it has been a blessing to my walk. The Lord bless you.
 
Azlan, Gods love and peace is yours unconditionally, and although there may be times when you don't feel that peace, I guarentee you He's there, watching over you, caring for you and carrying you.

I too have trouble trying not to be a "luke-warm" Christian, as I'm sure we all do. We all mess up from time to time, but Gods love is strong enough to forgive us - although it's not recommended to walk around with the "I'll do what I want because God will forgive me anyway" attitude. Just try to live your Christian life the best way you can, and what you cannot do, God will do the rest and will appreciate your efforts.

Unfortunatley, I'm not very Bible-savvy so I can't recommend any passages to read, but there is plan called "Bible in a year", which sets out a schedule so you can read the entire Bible in one year, and perhaps motivate you to pick it up more: http://www.ewordtoday.com/year/

Good luck with everything.
 
Thank you brother. Thank you sister. You're prayers and concerns bring gladness to me. Lets keep praying for one another always, and I'm not just talking about me, but for all of us who seek the Lord.
 
Romans 10:9,10 - "Because if you shall confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and shall believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved."

When we confess His Lordship, it not only His dominion over us, but "lord" means Leader, "the bread-provider," the caretaker, the protector from all our enemies. You actually become a partaker of the Divine Nature. (2 Peter 1:4).
As you become a partaker of His Nature, you become a partaker of His ability:
1. God's ability becomes your ability
2. God's strength becomes your strength
3. Jesus' ministry becomes your ministry.

When we acknowledge Him as our Lord, then God becomes automatically our very Father. All the resources of Heaven are at our disposal (Ephesians 1:3) to:
1. Minister others into Christ.
2. Disciple them
3. Equip them to disciple others

Questions to Ask Myself

AM I WILLING TO DISCIPLE A NEW BELIEVER INTO HIS INHERITANCE IN CHRIST?

DO I BELIEVE THAT EQUIPPING BELIEVERS TO DISCPLE OTHERS IS THE MOST VALUABLE SPIRITUAL ACT I CAN GIVE?


Affirmations

I HAVE POWER TO LABOR FOR THE SPIRITUAL LIVES OF OTHERS.

I MINISTER OTHERS INTO CHRIST, DISCIPLE THEM, AND EQUIP THEM TO DISCIPLE OTHERS.

SINCE I AM GOD "INSIDED MINDED" I CONFESS -- GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD.
