| Hello prayer warriors,
Please note: if you receive an email supposedly from me (waihun@mydevotion.com, or waihuns@yahoo.com or info@mydevotion.com) with an attachment, it is not from ME. So, please don't open it. There is a virus going around which picks up email addresses on an infected PC and sends out emails to other people using the email address which was picked up. It's called E.Klez. The virus even sends messages purported to clean your computer of the virus. Again: I don't send emails with attachments. I only send simple text messages because it is the safest! 1. Prayer note: [Psalm 1:1-3] 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. I just picked up my Good News bible and read this psalm again two nights ago. It says (Good News version) [Psalm 1:3] They are like trees that grow beside a stream, that bear fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up. They SUCCEED in EVERYTHING they do. Wow ... What is one of the keys of this success? I believe we can find it in verse 2, by delighting and meditating on His Word. His Word gives life. His Word sustains. I can understand why the analogy of us being like trees planted by rivers of water. His Word is the water of life and His Word helps us weather every storm and circumstance in our lives. I'm listening to a tape by John Hagee now and it is interesting to note that when Jesus asked his disciples to go into a boat in [Matthew 22] to cross over to the other side after the miracle of the five loaves and two fishes, He knew that they were going to face one of the worst storms in their lives. Yet, Jesus commanded them to go into the boat alone while He went up to the mountain and prayed. I believe that Jesus knows about all the storms in my life. He knew what I would be facing and yet it was important for me to weather the storms. I became a better woman from the storms and each time I am in a storm, I learn to depend on Him and He always rescues me. He is still in control. That is one of the most comforting thoughts to know that He is still in control. Now, let's go back to one of the keys to success. How can we have success in everything that we do? [Romans 10:17] So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. NKJV Greek: ’rematos cristos rhematos christos My pastor says that the original Greek has no commas, so this verse can be read as: "Faith comes by hearing and hearing of the rhema of Christ." This is a great revelation for me. It is not good enough to hear the Word of God. We've got to hear it again and again. It can be the same verse, or the same message, but we've got to continue hearing and hearing His Word. I used to be a Christian tape junkie and would listen to lots of Christian messages in my car. Then I stopped because I exhausted almost every good tape in my church library. After receiving this message on "hearing and hearing", I decided to start again on my hobby :P I want to have enduring success and plant myself by rivers of living water. Delighting, meditating and hearing His Word is a simple, accessible and powerful key to use! 2. Prayer requests: i.
