      FriFridayOctOctober15th2010 Praying for ONE THING for my Children
      byJon Miller Tagged Resource The One Thing 0 comments Add comment

      My greatest desire as a parent is to see my three children pursuing the "ONE THING" in their lives. I'm convinced that one of the best ways that Adrienne and I can help see that happen is through intentional prayer that is guided by God's Word.

      Here is a resource I found on a website that has been helpful to me in guiding my times of prayer for my children before the Lord. Each day focuses on a fruit of the Spirit, character quality, or biblical truth that God wants to build into the hearts of our children. If you're looking for a way to ramp up and bring greater focus to your prayers for your children, perhaps this will be helpful to you.

      SunSundaySepSeptember12th2010 THE ONE THING Here are the 7 responses I closed the sermon with that will change your life so that you can start living for The One Thing!  These aren't new things at all, but that's the whole point. These are the old things that never get old!

      Where do I start living this One Thing?

      1. EAT the WORD: As you feed on Gods' Word, as you consistently seek the Lord's heart, to hear Him and grow in Him, it will go from duty, to desire, to delight.

      2. PRAY for Life Change: God will not resist this prayer!

      3. DESTROY Your Idols: Ask the Lord to tell you the idols of your heart. Ask close ones to tell you the idols they see in your life. Then destroy and smash the idols!

      4. FOLLOW  Strong Examples: Who you follow is who you become. Follow Christ! Paul said, follow me as I follow Christ.

      5. UTILIZE Your Trials: One of God's greatest tools in transforming us is trial. Surrender and stop fighting what God is doing.

      6. SHARE the One Thing: Evangelize--share the gospel of Jesus Christ, the only thing that matters.

      7. PREPARE to Worship:
      Take 1 hour before every time you come to church to prepare your heart. Ask God to change your life, your family, your heart. And show up on time. Show the Lord the One Thing you are living for, the One Thing you are after, that you value time gathering together with His people to worship Him. Believe that God will change your life!
