Be Enlightened!

Be Enlightened!

Psalm 119:130 "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple".

Sometimes we can "be in the dark" concerning what God might want for our life, but only because we have not yet been "enlightened" on that particular area.

We need to be WORD CONSCIOUS. When we have a situation we need to pray about, first ask "What does the Word say?" Then stand on His Word. "He hastens (watches over) His Word to perform it" (Jeremiah 1:12)

Our walk with God is all about RELATIONSHIP and we must continually base our life on His Word. So, the more we know HIM through His Word, the more we will know and understand (be enlightened) what He wants for our life.

When we KNOW His Word, we KNOW what to pray for. When we KNOW the Word, we can pray in FAITH, otherwise we are just praying "in the dark".

Jesus makes us aware in John 16 that there is a condition in our receiving. Jesus says, "If you abide in Me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. And herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit."

Our faith comes by hearing, hearing by the Word of God. Our prayer life must be based on His Word so when praying about something, we should stand on Scriptures that promise what we are asking. This gives us a solid foundation for our prayers. PRAY THE WORD!

"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105
