It Doesn’t Hurt To Ask

Gallery 4 Comments

I have been thinking about it so perhaps I should write about it this morning.

I recall a time.  A panic attack was forming. I could feel it coming on. I was scared. I didn’t want to go there AGAIN.  And in ignorant desperation I cried out – literally!:

JESUS, pray for me.

He did. The panic attack immediately subsided.  Mind you I have had some anxious moments since then but none again to that magnitude.

My point? It is a good thing to ask JESUS to pray for us. Shall I give you Scriptural bases?

20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
via John 17 KJV – These words spake Jesus, and lifted up – Bible Gateway.

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
via Luke 22:31-33 KJV – And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, – Bible Gateway.

Past tense, right?

25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
via Hebrews 7 NASB – Melchizedek’s Priesthood Like – Bible Gateway.

Present tense!  He ALWAYS lives to make intercession for us.

So doesn’t He pray even if I do not specifically ask? Of course He does! BUT what of  ‘ye have not because ye ask not’ (James 4:2)?  I’m just giving you some food for thought.

Next time you’re in a tight place, you could cry out: JESUS pray for me.  Perhaps it will make a sweet memory that you will never forget.  A memory that you will hold on to for the rest of your life. A memory that will encourage you and remind you every time – HE LOVES ME! HE HEARS ME!

Thank You, JESUS, for praying for me even when I do not form the words. And thank You that when I do, You let me know that You are always, always praying for me; always loving me.  And not just me but every willing soul who believes and receives. And for every soul who comes here to read and pray today, I pray this precious Truth will bear fruit in their hearts. And, ABBA, we come with our sick and afflicted again this morning, asking You to heal them. And, HOLY SPIRIT, we come with our wayward, rebellious, oblivious Ones and ask for mercy and grace and space to repent. And we pray for our beloved Israel for peace and safety for them. And for our own beloved Nation we pray for mercy; for a revival; for You, HOLY SPIRIT, to call people to come together to pray and intercede for others in JESUS name. Amen and               .

Without a doubt I am reading this verse out of context but even so I have heard ABBA’s voice and I am rejoicing in it.

14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
via Jeremiah 21:13-14 KJV – Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant – Bible Gateway.

I got ahead of myself and posted a blurb to Facebook before coming here.  I said this:

“But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings . . . ”
Jer. 21:14 in part. These words blessed and comforted me this morning.
And no not because I am wanting to see anyone ‘get what is coming to them’. Waiting for that would put me in line for discipline myself.
I am grateful that GOD is just. That He governs all and that I can trust Him to correct ME justly! And I use the word correct because for me that is what He does — JESUS has already taken ALL MY PUNISHMENT. Oh how AWESOME HE IS!!!
Just saying. Take it for what it is worth to you. ABBA rules! :)


Perhaps I can elaborate here. Truly I am grateful that I stand individually before ABBA. That He individually looks after my doings and when my doings violate His Word, He deals with me. He kindles a fire.  Praise Him for that!! And may that fire be so that it burns away and devours all that offends Him. Burns it away in the here and now. I Corinthians sheds more light on why I say that.  Look. See what I mean.

14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
via 1 Corinthians 3:14-16 KJV – If any man’s work abide which he hath – Bible Gateway.

May I heed the fire here and prevent the need for fire there!! So tell me am I alone in this? Any others see and amen this?  Just curious.

And I have something else burning in my soul too. I am as convinced of it as anything in a long while. It is this:

Praying Together Aloud in the Body of Christ will bring the revival fires that some are saying we need not only in the Churches but in America.

It is the gathering together of the People of GOD, coming together, assembling for the expressed purpose of joining voices and hearts in PRAYER that will move the Hand of GOD on behalf of this world.  Closet prayer is a MUST but it is not enough! Gathering together and one leading in prayer and others praying silently is good; there is time and place for that but if we want a Move of the HOLY SPIRIT, we will assemble others (even by telephone) together and we will speak our praise and our petitions before the Throne of GOD. Have we not read that life and death are in the power of the tongue? Have we not read that we are  commanded to speak words of life?

If we want Him to move, we will obey, we will gather together and voice our praise and our petitions to Him and He will hear from heaven and He will heal us and this land. Does He hear and answer individual, voiced only in the heart prayer? Of course He does! It is not He that needs the coming together it is us! We are edified and our own faith is increased when we hear our brothers and sisters pouring out their hearts in fervent, effective, righteous prayer before our Father.  

If you have ever heeded any word you have read here at The White Stone, hear this one: Seek and find the prayer partner/partners that ABBA has for you and voice your praise and petition to Him, together regularly and often!

This has been a long one so I shall not keep you longer.

HOLY SPIRIT, take this writing offering and administer it as You will. Thank You for miracles of healing and miracles of protection we have seen and we pray for more. We ask You to heal our sick and afflicted and to save our wayward, rebellious souls we love so much. Amen and     .

just reporting in today. I am thinking of you. Have prayed for you by name or email address (whichever I have). 

We have this word on the 3-year-old we have been praying for:

Just an update on the toddler for whom the prayers were given—he has “perked up” some trying to move about, they have identified the bacteria causing the brain lesions and physicians are hopeful that a dilation of his esophagus will be possible next week.  Our God is an Awesome God.

Sheila is scheduled for surgery May 7. We plead for your prayers in this.

Kathleen has some disturbing medical issues. Prayers for her desired and appreciated.

And there are others.    Praying (PFT)!

It is a beautiful sunny day in Lower Alabama.  A good day to desire to learn to sit quietly before the LORD and enjoy His presence.  That is what I have prayed for us today. Perhaps today we begin a quest to be trained by the HOLY SPIRIT to do this very thing.  :)

21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.

22 The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.”

25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.

26 It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the LORD.

via Lamentations 3 NASB – Jeremiah Shares Israel’s Affliction – Bible Gateway.

Again, ABBA, I pray for these and others that we will desire to learn to sit quietly with You, enjoying Your Holy Presence.  And yet in this moment, I do ask that You heal our sick and raise those who are dead in trespasses and sins to eternal life in CHRIST JESUS. Amen and  .
