Life-Transforming Walk with God

In this week we are going to see “Praying for a Life-Transforming Walk with God”. Have you ever noticed sometimes when we pray is for God to change circumstances-people around us? God wants to changes and transforms us first before anything or anyone around us. 

“When I allow God to transform my heart, mind, and attitudes, I began to see my life and my circumstances from His point of view. As I adopt the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5), God teaches me how to pray and what to pray for so my perspective and outlook on life can be radically transformed.” Stormie Omartian

The key truths of this lesson:


  • Even thought we can never fully understand God, we can draw near to Him and know Him.


“Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who can understand his decisions or explain what he does?” Romans 11:33

  • No matter how broken we are, God is able and ready to restore and renew us. 

“Wash me with hyssop until I am clean
and whiter than snow.” Psalm 51:7

  • We can draw near to God by spending time with Him, asking Him to cleanse our hearts and help us understand His Word. 

“If we say that we have not sinned, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth isn't in our hearts. But if we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away. If we say that we have not sinned, we make God a liar, and his message isn't in our hearts.” 1 John 1:8-10

Verse to remember:

"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." James 4:8a

It is every Friday at 10:30 am. Childcare provided.

Hope to see you there!

Love,

The Power of a Praying Woman

12.02.11
 Every time I got to spend time with all of you ladies to go deep into the Word of God I have a blast and we grow spiritually. 
Last week we prayed and it is so indescribable the way God can work in our life when we pray because we are showing God we depend on Him for everything. We also are relying on him when we pray. I just enjoying talking to my Heavenly Father and I sure enjoyed last Friday when we got together to pray for church, us, our families , and so many more things.  I encouraged you to not miss one week and to invited others. 


This coming week we are going to see "Praying to Become All God Made Me to Be" and I want you to keep in mind the following things:





  • God has a purpose for your life that can be found only by drawing near to Him.
  • God can radically transform your life when you place your faith in Jesus Christ.
  • Drawing near to God each day in prayer and Bible study is essential to experience His peace and power.
A verse to remember:



"Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive" Matthew 21:22

I am looking forward to see you all this Friday and don't forget our Ladies Christmas Party is that same night at 6:30pm it is going to be a lot of fun. Contact Shonece for more info about Friday night.

Please keep praying for healing for my mother-in-law Janey Sparks.



Love, 
Carla
