A is for Ask

 “And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.” Matthew 5:22

If Jesus himself said it why do we doubt our prayers. Sometimes the answer is to wait. 


Praying is asking and bringing our petitions before his throne of grace.  Yes we do not get exactly what we ask when we ask God for something.  Sometimes the answer is “no.”  


Why do we fuss and pout when we do not get the prayer request when we want it to happen.  


We live in a very modern and convenient world and mindset. Our creator is our ABBA who knows what we need when we need it.  


I tell you what….he seems things behind the scenes. If he is making us wait you better believe that the delay is for your own good.   He is our ultimate parent. We can leave our requests with him and he will not delay. Gods timing is different than ours. 


God does not want spoiled brats who think they deserve whatever they ask for.  He loves us with an everlasting love and knows what is for our own good. we think we know what we need. But God who knows the future sees the bigger picture.

BE SET FREE from NEGATIVITY!!!

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid to...  It would keep me up for hours tormenting my mind..... I don't really think I am the only

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni
