26 Feb 2025 Listening Prayer Mark 2 :1-12 Jesus returned → word got around that he was back home → a crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get in and out. He was teaching the Word Jesus impressed by BOLD BELIEF Verses Jesus knew right away what they were thinking and said “why are you so sceptical? Which is simpler? I’m the Son of Man and authorised to do either, or both …. ONLY believe My Words and what I said Go will be done according to My father will. Questioning Your Heart, Your Mind and Your Flesh - “why are you so sceptical? Which is simpler? Like Jesus, you too authorised and have Jesus power to do what I ask you to do as whom I called, I also equipped. It takes intentionality to Seek Me. Rip the Roof Off among the crowd of life (busy-ness of life). To open the roof, to be able to breathe again. To take time to Pause, to Breath again and to SELAH takes intentionality. Check always your heart motives - doing things for me (DOING/performance) or Doing things with Me (Human BEING). Are you Coming with Me every step by step (Side by Side Ministry with Me and Being in My CONSTANT Present) or Are you Coming For Me (bECAUSE It is Automatic response and FAMILIARITY - automatic prayer, automatic methods, My go to as you seen Me doing it before). Remember, there is no formula following Me, there is no automatic following. Growing Deep in Me is not Growing up in Me No one ever graduated from knowing Me. You will always learn a new way, New Thinking, New side of Me and new side of you that you have not seen yet. Remember, after all, you are also authorized to do either, or both like My Son, Jesus Christ. Keep walking with Me, Stand Firm, Stand Still. You will see MORE!!!

Passage: Isaiah 43:1-4 Ponder: “you are mine”, “I will be with you”, “you are precious and honoured… because I love you” created, formed, redeemed, called by name “because I love you”: - not because you have done anything honourable - not because you have created or formed or redeemed or ransomed yourself - because I created you, made you Mine and have chosen to be with you - because I chose to elevate you to a place of honour and made you precious - because I have extended my love beyond Jacob and Israel - because you one of the all whom I called (Acts 2:39) - because the Gentiles are also made clean (Acts 11:9) and you have received the same Holy Spirit that Peter and the first Jewish believers received (Acts 11:15) Prayer: God says: how the table have turned, and my first precious and chosen people are far from Me, while Gentiles such as yourself are Mine. Please pray for My people that they would come home, Christ is the all sufficient ransom for all peoples. No more exchanges of one nation for another. I say: Lord God, I pray for Israel. I pray for Jews everywhere that they would come home and meet the Messiah, Your Son Jesus… Lord, I praise You for loving me, just because You do. I do not deserve honour, yet You honour me like the wayward son who returned home (Luke 15:21-32). I do not deserve Your goodness. Will I ever know why You are good to me? May I not complain that You are unkind or unfair again. Amen
