1John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us? whatever we ask? we know that we have what we asked of him When Jesus started to preach,
1. THE REPENTANCE:
the 1st message of Jesus Matthew 4:17(Mark1:15) From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.? The repentance is door of God blessing in our life, the bible said this in
1John 1:8-9: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Look how much we need to repent, the bible goes deep:
James 4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins
James 5:16 :Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective and another scripture said:
2Peter 2:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. Some of the people use to say I will repent late, look how the bible said for that:
2 Corinthians 6:1-2 1As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. 2For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
2. HOLINESS (holy life):
1 Thessalonians 4:7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life and
Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord( I think everyone want to see the Lord in his life)
3. DO ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD:
1Corinthians 10:31: So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God? wherever you can find yourself doing things, I don’t say preach but before to do it, be sure that is for God’s glory.
4. HAVING FULL CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD
1Samuel 30:6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God. If you read the entire context you can see how it was hard moment (mostly if you have family you can understand more the context), David suppose to organize his team but first consult God for direction. Please use your knowledge in second place.
5. FOR ALL OF US TO BE BLESSED/PROSPER:
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future and
1 John 3:2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. The bible gives us all the secret of prosperity (blessing), but we don?t like it, we want only to jump on it. Let us ready these known passages in the bible:
Joshua 1: 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Deuteronomy 28:1-14
6. UNDERSTAND THAT GOD ALLOWS EVERYTHING
Lamantations3:37-38 who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come? And
1 Thessalonians 5: 18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Most of time, we use God us a source of what happen in our life. In general we are the source of what happen in our life if we don’t hear the advice.
Why bad situations happen in our life:
1. Galatians6:7 do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows,
2. To learn how we can teach (encourage by testifying his greatest) to others brethren and finally
3. For us to grow and shine (gold can shine after to put in fire).
7. PRAYER
The will of God is for you and I to pray as said: 1Thessalonians 5:17 pray continually; why prayer?

· We have problems (James5:13)
· To not fall in temptations
· For the needs May the Lord blessed you for, your family and your business, in Jesus
