It is up to you!
Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let’s not let it slip through our fingers. We don’t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He’s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let’s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.
Jesus was matter-of-fact: “Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, ‘Go jump in the lake’—no ifs or maybe—and it’s as good as done. That’s why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything. And when you assume the posture of prayer, remember that it’s not all asking; It is already done. Don’t let your temporary feelings and positions BLOCK YOUR BlessingIf you have anything against someone, forgive—only then will your heavenly Father be inclined to also wipe your slate clean of sins.”
My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he’s listening. And if we’re confident that he’s listening, we know that what we’ve asked for is as good as ours.

I quit wasting my time and words on unbelief and wish-washy prayers!
This is how I make my prayers count for you and me. 1st I am going to seek the word of God for what I am praying for and about BEFORE I start praying. 2nd I believe that God has already done what I am praying for before I pray. 3rd I believe that it is already done so I rest; I don't fear, I don't change my mind and waiver even though situations and circumstances may change. 4th I guard my mouth, mind, will, and emotions to ensure I do not speak against what I am praying. Prayer is to be prayed as a closed or done deal ENSURING that forgiveness toward all other are complete!
Mark 11:22-25New International Version (NIV)
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[a] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

I controls today and tomorrow's blessings with the words of my mouth!
Deuteronomy 30:11-15New International Version (NIV)The Offer of Life or Death
11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. 15 See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction.

Matthew 12:37New International Version (NIV)37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

What will my consistent CHOICE BE?

Thank You Father for the Calling and the Gift.
Ephesians 4:9-13Names of God Bible (NOG)9 Now what does it mean that he went up except that he also had gone down to the lowest parts of the earth? 10 The one who had gone down also went up above all the heavens so that he fills everything.11 He also gave apostles, prophets, missionaries, as well as pastors and teachers as gifts to his church. 12 Their purpose is to prepare God’s people to serve and to build up the body of Christ. 13 This is to continue until all of us are united in our faith and in our knowledge about God’s Son, until we become mature, until we measure up to Christ, who is the standard.

2 Timothy 2:15-16Names of God Bible (NOG)15 Do your best to present yourself to God as a tried-and-true worker who isn’t ashamed to teach the word of truth correctly. 16 Avoid pointless discussions. People who pay attention to these pointless discussions will become more ungodly,

Who job is it to teach the body of Christ? Called men and women or laypersons

If I really love like I say, this is what I do toward everyone!
Love never gives up.Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel,Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
So are you are dancing with a mirror?
