King James Version
King James Version
"God not only has a phone line," says Avery, age 10. Apparently, Avery has never heard a busy signal when praying.
We have all experienced the unavailability of important people. We believe that God is too busy to hear the details of our lives, but God is a perfect parent. He delights especially when their children come to him in prayer.
Even when President Kennedy had important meetings in the Oval Office, a person has always had access to him: his son.
"If you have faith and are born again, then you must know God is listening," says Joel, 10.
Not only listen, but also responds to prayer.
"Once I asked my brother to get well, and the next day, he was healed, "says Paul, 9.
"I know because I prayed for my grandmother," says Deana, 10. "She has a rare type of cancer, and God has kept alive for 13 years. "
"God answers prayer, because it keeps my family safe," says Ellen, 7.
Friends, thanks for examples of how God has answered their prayers. Remember what the apostle James wrote in the New Testament, the epistle: "You need not do not ask. "However, James could have said, your prayers are answered because they had the faith to ask.
James also wrote that God will not answer the prayers of the proud, of envy and jealousy. Prayers for selfish reasons not go wrong higher than the ceiling.
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble, "wrote the Apostle Santiago. self-sufficient people do not like asking anyone for anything, but when it comes God, we need his grace.
Whitney, 10, said that another way: "If you ask for candy (and perhaps willing), but if we do not need God can not give you. If you pray for safety, security will be given.
Whitney wisely distinguishes between a desire and a necessity. He also knows that God has your best interests in mind. He will not give something harmful.
Three times, the apostle Paul asked God to remove a particular form of suffering that he called a "thorn in the flesh." But God said, "My grace is sufficient for thee."
God wants us to learn to trust him in the middle suffering. God always has the big picture in view, namely, our spiritual development.
Like James, 11, says, "God will answer you, but might not be what we expected. "
God has a reputation to maintain. The prayer that seeks the glory of God can never go wrong. King David prayed for victory in the battle to demonstrate his prowess as a warrior, but to exalt God's name among the nations.
"Honor God always brings blessings humanity, because God wants the good of those he has created and especially those whom He redeemed, "writes biblical scholar WL Liefeld." The actual power of prayer is not ultimately reside in the same sentence, but in the One to whom prayer is directed. "
"In our class, we have a prayer request list, "says John, 11." When prayers are answered, we move down the list of praise. "
John, the lessons we are learning about depending on the Lord in prayer are invaluable. Your teacher must have a bold faith to send a prayer request and praise in the list of its kind.
To illustrate effective prayer, Jesus spoke of the emotional relationship of a vine to the branches. Referring to himself same as the vine "true", Jesus made an incredible promise to his people: "If you abide in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever what you want, and will be done to you "(John 15:7).
To meet the media to stay. When you run everything to do with their prayers are answered.

What are the advantages of reading the King James Version in other versions of the Bible?
Usually the NIV study note most pastors read or quote the King James Version is more accurate?
I do not like the King James version. I either use this new version or back to the original Greek. Incidentally, the "lost verses" in later versions not in the King James was not likely in the original manuscripts, because not in older versions (which the King James committee did not have). They were most likely added at a later date. The other versions, however, are printed in footnotes at the bottom of the page if you want to read them.
