Pray for Unity among Christians

Lord, unite your people 

in brotherly love and in your truth 

that we might together 

to strengthen one another’s faith, 

defend Christianity, and 

give witness to Christ in the world.

AMEN.

14 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love one another. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 All who hate a brother or sister are murderers, and you know that murderers do not have eternal life abiding in them. 16 We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. 17 How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?

18 Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

~ * ~ 1 John 3:14-18 ~ * ~

Importance of the Bible as we Christians do our mobile or smart phones.

Have we ever wondered, what would happen if we Christians treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones.

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if We flipped through it several times a day?

What if we used it to receive text messages?

What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it as we traveled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone,

we don’t ever have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!

A Prayer for Spiritual Growth in Christians by Saint Paul

Ephesians 3:14-21

A Prayer for the Ephesians

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

What do Christians believe about miracles?

Jesus did many miracles in his lifetime. That was over 2000 years ago. Now God still does miracles, sometimes as petitioned by his followers in prayer, and sometimes of his own accord. I have seen miracles take place by the grace of God. 

Miracles are miraculous things done by the power of Jesus, and Jesus alone. a human is not ultimately performing the miracle, but Jesus is using that person to show His power THROUGH them. 

Miracles can happen anywhere anytime, because Jesus Christ has the power to do anything.

“I returned and saw under the sun that-- 

The race is not to the swift,

Nor the battle to the strong, 

Nor bread to the wise, 

Nor riches to men of 

understanding, 

Nor favor to men of skill; 

But time and chance 

happen to 

them all” 

Ecclesiastes 9:11

How to Ask God for a Miracle

Miracles happen whenever you welcome God’s powerful presence into the situations you face. So don’t worry about trying to pray perfect prayers to convince God to do something miraculous in your life. Simply invite God to work in every situation in which you’re seeking miracles, and trust Him to do what’s best after you ask Him to intervene.

If you’re not sure whether or not it’s God’s will to perform a particular miracle in your life, ask Him to make His will clear to you and tell Him that you want His will – not your own will – to be done.

If you’re unwilling to forgive someone who has hurt or offended you, that refusal to forgive can hinder your prayers from being answered, because God sometimes waits until you obey His commands before answering prayers. Remember how much God has forgiven you for, and let that motivate you to obey His call to forgive others. Ask God to help you forgive; you can choose to forgive even when you don’t feel like it and rely on the strength God will give you during the forgiveness process.
