Peter Roselle: “God, I Need to Hear Your Voice Today!” (John 10:27
This is a clip taken from Part 4 in a recent series on the topic of prayer. Quotes: “Throughout the New Testament we are reminded that there is much more to life that just the things we can see contending in the natural realm – there is a spiritual war going on as well. That has been crystal clear over the last nine months in America. But we serve another King named Jesus who said, "My peace I give you." (John 14:27) Don't let the devil rob that peace from you. You don't have to keep trying to appease God with your offerings by killing a sacrificial lamb. You can just come to Him as a father and say, "Abba, I need to hear your voice today." 

Be blessed.
Remember: you have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2)
Pay it forward!

We were at a men's breakfast a few years ago and I went around the table and I said, "Guys, what makes your wife the happiest? What will make her feel the safest?" They gave their input and then I said, "The thing that makes my wife the happiest is when she knows that I'm praying and I'm in the Word of Gd. If I am not praying and I'm not in the worship, she picks up on it quickly. When you marry a prophet, you can't hide anything. That's a good thing - to have a person in your life who will just speak honestly to you. 

It's not a hard thing to hear from the Lord - if it was a hard thing, it would mean He is not a good father. Good fathers want to talk to their children, and they want the children to respond. We don’t serve a distant God. If you feel like your prayer life is less than it needs to be, please keep pressing in because He will make Himself real to you if you'll just keep listening. 

You don't have to keep trying to appease God with your offerings by killing a sacrificial lamb. You can just come to Him as a father and say, "Abba, I need to hear your voice today." Prayer has been our topic the last four weeks. Three weeks ago, I did "My Faith Will Not Fail". This is when the Lord spoke to Peter and said, "You're going to fail me but your faith is not going to fail because I'm going to pray for you." Remember, He predicted that Peter would deny Him three times. He said, "I'm going to pray for you. And when you come back, you're going to strengthen your brothers." I can relate. Can’t you? 

Two weeks ago we looked at 1 John 3:20 that says, "When our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart." So, we don't have to live in the shame that tries to cling to us when we make mistakes. Psalm 34:18 says, “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.” It's okay to come to the Lord and say, "I'm sorry, I let you down. I know the way I behaved yesterday is not the way I want to be. Will you help me?" 

Last week, it was, “The Prayer Journey - From Knowing To Growing.” Luke 18:1 tells the parable about the persistent widow. She goes to the judge and relentlessly brings her requests. He ignores her at first, but eventually capitulates because of her persistence. Jesus says, "Listen, if the unjust judge will eventually give the widow what she wants, how much more will your Father in heaven when you keep on praying?"

How much more? God is not the unjust judge. He's a loving father. Be like that persistent widow and keep bringing that request to the Lord. Keep saying, "While I'm waiting, I'm going to prosper! 
While I'm waiting to get the answer to that prayer, I refuse to let the devil steal my joy. The joy of the Lord is where my strength comes from" (Nehemiah 8:10).  
Today the title is “There is Another King Named Jesus.”

Acts 17:6-7 (TPT)
6 “Those troublemakers who have turned the world upside down have come here to our city.
7 And now Jason and these men have welcomed them as guests. They’re traitors to Caesar, teaching that there is another king named Jesus.”

This takes place in Thessalonica, where the apostles are being accused of starting a political insurrection, being charged with seeking to overthrow Caesar's government. We know from Ephesians that we're supposed to put on the whole armor of God, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and rulers of darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places."  That doesn't mean that there aren't scary things happening, be He has equipped us with the tools to know how to deal with those things.
