Matthew 6:8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

We are all different. What you need is not what I need. I get that.

God dealt with my need only after I confessed there was a need to myself that fit into God’s plan for me.

I cannot expect everyone to have the same experience I had with God because He dealt with my need because I confessed a condition that troubled me.

I was angry all the time without just cause. I did not know what I was angry about, I just was.

My older brother was kicked out of our home because of his uncontrolled anger. When he hit  his younger sister in the face, dad had enough and sent him packing. He was 16.

I was approaching that age and I did not want to be kicked out like my brother. When I prayed to God for the first time I said, “I don’t want to be like this.” That was my confession of condition and God took that very unspecific confession and removed my anger, because He knew me and what I needed.

That was my problem, my need, my confession. It was personal.

What God is willing to do for you will be different because we are not all alike and have different needs.

What is troubling you and you’re struggling with?  You need God’s help!

You don’t have to tell me. Tell God. I can only listen, He has the power to meet your needs.

John 14:1 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

Job 1:11 But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.

Job 2:5 But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.

I said yesterday that Jesus removed my accuser. Let me be clear on this issue. Satan is the accuser and he did so before God in the heavenly realm.

Note closely that Satan accuses twice. First on possessions and secondly on physical health.

These are two areas of our personal life in which we feel blessings and curses. This is not in the heavenly realm but the earthly realm.

John 16:33

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

1 John 4:4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

1 John 5:4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

1 Corinthians 15:56-57 English Standard Version

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

He won me over.
