How to Get What you Pray For
“Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members? You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask. You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”? But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”” (James 4:1-6 WEB)
“This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.” (1 John 5:14-15 WEB)
“All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”” (Matthew 21:22 WEB)
“Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13-14 WEB)
Whatever you ask for in prayer that is according to God’s will, you will receive it if you believe.
Why do we disbelieve at times? It could be due to unfamiliarity with God’s word. His will is revealed in His written word.
Another reason is that we feel unworthy to receive good things from God because of some sin in our life. The shame and condemnation produces unbelief.
God knows our motives when we pray. If something is going to harm us, He as a good Father will not give it to us until it is safe.
Just because your two year old child fusses over wanting to play with a knife does not mean that you have to give it to him.
As an adult and responsible parent, you are wiser than him and know that it is not safe.
God is infinitely wiser than us. When we pray, we must also accept that sometimes our intentions may not be pure, and it will harm us if we get what we pray for.
Praise Him. God is good, and He is wise; a generous, gracious, merciful God! He is our beloved Abba Father!

Water is Coming to you
“He said, “Yahweh says, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’ For Yahweh says, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals. This is an easy thing in Yahweh’s sight. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand. You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.’” In the morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, young and old, and stood on the border. They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood. They said, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!” When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking the Moabites.” (2 Kings 3:16-24 WEB)
The Israel army coalition had no water to drink for seven days. They were thirsty and asked the prophet Elisha to inquire of the Lord Yahweh.
The Lord’s instruction was to make the valley full of trenches, in preparation to collect the water.
Yet you may wonder where is the water going to come from if there is no wind or rain?
Sometimes, when the Lord asks you to get into position, just do it without trying to reason it out.
He said to make the valley full of trenches, meaning GET READY TO RECEIVE.
How much water do you want to catch? The more trenches you dig, the more water you will store, if not the water will come, but it will just flow away.
The Lord allows you to choose how much you want to act upon His rhema word. If you have faith, you will make the valley of your life full of trenches, ready to receive from Him.
The water came by the way of Edom. It is not your job to know how the water comes. The point is, the water WILL come because the Lord has commanded it.
The water had a double purpose for the Israel coalition. It satiated their thirst, and it also became an important military tactic used by the Lord to defeat Israel’s enemies.
The water that you collect in the coming days will enable you to defeat enemies in your life.
Everyone’s “trenches” are different—you will know what yours is. Whatever the Lord has put into your heart to do, remember that you can choose how much water you will collect, based on how many trenches you make.
Do not waste time questioning, “How will the water come? How is it possible?” The water is coming so it is time to get in position!

Fight Only your Battles
“After these things, God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.” He said, “Now take your son, your only son, whom you love, even Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of.” Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went to the place of which God had told him.” (Genesis 22:1-3 WEB)
God told Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son of promise.
There is a reason why God did not ask Sarah do it. He knew that she would not be able to.
After being ridiculed for decades for being barren, she finally had her only son after much patience, perseverance, and probably tears.
Asking Sarah to sacrifice her son as an offering is akin to driving her insane and probably suicide. There is no mention of Abraham telling Sarah about God’s instruction.
Abraham probably left home with a heavy heart, just kissing Sarah goodbye and telling her that he was going out with Isaac to spend some time together. We don’t know exactly what he told her, but it is probably not, “Dear, I am bringing our son now to be offered as a burnt offering because God said so.”
God saw Abraham’s heart and knew that he would be able to pass the test.
“No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB)
When God tests a person, it is not because He does not know the outcome. He wants to teach us something through the test, enabling us to grow closer to Him and know Him better.
In the case of Abraham’s test, we are taught that someone restrained Abraham from sacrificing his son, but at the cross, no one restrained God from sacrifice Jesus, His only begotten Son. There was no substitute. Jesus had to bleed and die so that we would be saved.
If you are married, your marriage is also a partnership. Your spouse has a unique set of gifts, anointings, and a calling that is different from yours. God will use you for what you are good at (what He designed you for), and He will use your spouse for what he/she is good at. This way, your family unit will benefit from both sets of graces.
As a married person, your role is not to do everything, as God will delegate tasks to you and your spouse. Trust that He knows what He is doing.
Abraham’s test was designed by God for Abraham, not Sarah. Fight only your battles.
If you have an urge to do everything yourself, it is time to release that control into God’s hands. He wants you to enjoy a level of restfulness that comes from each person doing what he/she has the grace and capacity to do. The Holy Spirit will lead you!
Learn how to flow with God’s appointed time and ways, to do the right thing at the right time. In “God’s Appointed Time”, you will discover how to experience restful increase and unceasing fruitfulness through tapping on the Grace that this available to you in every time and season of life: https://bit.ly/god-appointed-time

Allen Iverson would almost always rather drive to the basket than settle for a jumper.
Seattle's porous defense gave him ample opportunity to dart down the lane for all the easy baskets he wanted.
Iverson scored 41 points, John Salmons had 18 and Kyle Korver 17 to lead the Philadelphia 76ers over the SuperSonics 107-98 on Monday night.
Although Iverson said he's still slightly bothered by his right ankle, which he sprained Dec. 27 at Denver, it hardly showed as he had one of his top shooting nights of the season.
"It's getting a lot better with treatment and everything, and I'm able to push off it like I want to," Iverson said. "Once it gets loose, I'm able to move around like I want to. I try to get to the basket."
Certainly returning home provided an immediate fix for the slumping Sixers. When they left for a 15-day, seven-game trip, they were in first place in the Atlantic Division; they returned four games back in the division race after a 2-5 mark.
"If we closed games out better, we'd have a lot more wins," Iverson said. "I honesty feel like we gave away eight games this season, games we should have won."
The Sonics have been just as bad, finishing 1-4 on a trip that saw them fire Bob Weiss and replace the coach with Bob Hill.
Hill promised a quicker pace and improvement on defense as ways to turn around Seattle's disappointing season.
Seattle's league-worst defense still needs work.
Iverson scored 40-plus points for the eighth time this season as he chases Kobe Bryant for the league scoring title. Iverson wasn't the only one getting open looks -- the Sixers shot 53 percent from the field, seven points higher than their average.
Chris Webber sat out with a lower back strain and was listed as day-to-day. Coach Maurice Cheeks was hopeful that rest would allow Webber to return for Wednesday's game against Utah.
Salmons started in Webber's place and hardly missed a beat on 7-for-9 shooting. Andre Iguodala had 16 points and Samuel Dalembert 11 to put all five starters in double digits.
"That's how you should play," Iverson said. "When you do share the ball, nine times out of 10, more positive results come of it."
Ray Allen led the Sonics with 27 points and Vladimir Radmanovic had 15 points and 12 rebounds.
The Sonics rallied from a 19-point deficit to pull within six late in the fourth quarter -- hardly surprising since only Seattle allows more points than the Sixers -- after 3-pointers by Allen and a couple of free throws from Rashard Lewis.
Korver, though, sank his fifth 3-pointer and Salmons added a 3 to get the lead back to nine. Stuck on 39 points for a while, Iverson sank two free throws to push him over 40 and give the Sixers a 106-95 lead.
"We took control of the game and shut them down," Dalembert said. "We controlled the tempo of the game and didn't really let them get back in."
Iverson scored nine points during a 19-5 run in the third quarter that gave the Sixers a 79-60 lead. Iverson usually drove through a lane that offered little resistance and little reason for the All-Star to resort to his usual banging and crashing all over the court.
Iverson went 6-for-8 in third for 18 points and the Sixers shot 68 percent in the quarter. Hill blamed fatigue from a long road trip for the Sonics going flat in the third.
"We played pretty well in the first half, then I'm sure our legs got tired," Hill said. "We wouldn't move and we weren't guarding. Away games are tough, but they have to find a way to fight fatigue. That was a winnable game."
With the easy looks, and a mid-range jumper that was on target, Iverson finished 15-for-25 from the floor and made 11 of 13 free throws.
Game notes
Korver hit a 3-pointer for the 26th straight game, the longest streak in the league. ... Sonics F Danny Fortson sat out with a sore left knee and C Vitaly Potapenko sat out with a lower back strain. ... Iverson was briefly shaken up when he was smacked in the face by Luke Ridnour while they went after a loose ball in the third quarter. ... Iverson has 67 career games with more than 40 points. ... The Sixers are 8-0 at home against the Western Conference.

Lyrics:
Broken are the pieces
I’ve been shaping lately
Focused on the things
That didn’t make no sense
Guess that growing up
Was never meant to be easy
Yeah I got used to doing everything sideways
Didn't really care about how anyone felt
Hiding my emotions down in different ashtrays
But what is lost ain’t gone
No you can’t just let go
Cause it’s a part of you that
Will make you strong
Embrace your flaws
I’m not gonna fight back
What I’ve become
Yeah I got bruises
Where I came from
But I wouldn’t change
If I could restart
I ain’t gonna hide these
Beautiful scars
I’ve been going way too hard on myself
Guess that is the reason I’ve been feeling like hell
But I wouldn’t change
If I could restart
I ain’t gonna hide these
Beautiful scars
I went down a road, that only got me nowhere
I’ve seen every corner, every inch of this place
Being all alone, it really got me thinking
Maybe overthinking
That what is lost ain’t gone
No you can’t just let go
Cause it’s a part of you that
Will make you strong
Embrace your flaws
I’m not gonna fight back
What I’ve become
Yeah I got bruises
Where I came from
But I wouldn’t change
If I could restart
I ain’t gonna hide these
Beautiful scars
I’ve been going way too hard on myself
Guess that is the reason I’ve been feeling like hell
But I wouldn’t change
If could restart
I ain’t gonna hide these
Beautiful scars
Hide these beautiful scars
Hide these beautiful scars
I’m not gonna fight back
What I’ve become
Yeah I got bruises
Where I came from
But I wouldn’t change
If I could restart
I ain’t gonna hide these
Beautiful scars
I’ve been going way too hard on myself
Guess that is the reason I’ve been feeling like hell
But I wouldn’t change
If could restart
I ain’t gonna hide these
Beautiful scars

I will never know if you love me
Or my company, but I don't mind
'Cause I ain't tryna be the one
Been through this a thousand times
I don't need to take your heart
You keep yours, I'll keep mine
All I really know is when I'm lonely
I hate that I'm lonely
And that's why I let you in
And maybe in another life
We fight all day, kiss all night
But I don't wanna break your heart
You keep yours, I'll keep mine
I know
We know better, so we'd both better go
I don't need a reason
To keep on dreamin'
That we don't lose, yeah, what's the use?
I don't need a reason
To keep on dreamin', oh
That we can win at anything at all
Mm
Am I the only one who sees right through this?
Yeah, all this bullshit
Don't play me for no fool
Yeah, you don't gotta lose your mind
Every time I don't call
And I should never have to win your love
Then hate myself when I don't, oh, oh
Fickle as you are
That's exactly why I keep on running back
'Cause I'm brittle at the parts
Where I wish I was strong
And maybe when you need my help
I like myself when it's over
But later in the light, you go
Dark and rogue, and I need closure
And I know
Whatever this is ain't love
So I'm goin'
I'm gonna let you go, let you go
I don't need a reason
To keep on dreamin'
That we don't lose, yeah what's the use?
I don't need a reason
To keep on dreamin'
That I can win this stupid thing called love
Mm, mm, mm
