Thirdly, there were nails which had no head but only the body. There are many who pray to whomever they like. Many pray to dead saints which the Bible never advocates. The ideal prayer should be addressed to God the Father and ended in Jesus name. Since all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus by the Father after his resurrection, we can pray to Jesus also. A prayer prayed by a person filled with the Holy Spirit of God (with the anointing) always has greater power to bring the desired results. Fourthly, there were nails that were perfect. Good heads, good bodies and sharp ends. Specific prayers prayed to the Father in heaven, led by the Spirit of God, with a humble and contrite heart and with faith that God will answer are such prayers. When prayed in Jesus’ name, the Holy Spirit takes these prayers to the Father and one sees the desired results sooner or later in God’s time. But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. (Jude 1:20) 95. WILL YOU DESTROY ME WITH THE WICKED? One night as I slept I saw a dream in which my father is driving a dirt removing truck which has 2 metal hands with huge scoopers to scoop out mud from a site and throw it away elsewhere. I am seated in one scoop and in the other one is another man, a wicked one. As my father drives the vehicle, the metal hands keep moving up and down and scoops mud and throws it elsewhere. This brings great fear upon me. I wonder when I would be thrown from the thing and get hurt or die. The wicked man in the other scoop is least bothered about all this. Finally I cry out to my father and say, "Will you destroy me, your child, like you are going to destroy this wicked man?" The dream ended there. During those days there were people in our church who were living worldly lives though they were known as believers. This was causing problems to other believer's and to the church as a whole. The blessings that we usually were receiving from the Lord continually, both spiritually and materially did not seem to flow as usual. There was a hindrance. Though I as pastor of the church knew about this, I did not immediately take action because outwardly these believers did not seem to be doing wrong. Their secret lives were creating all the problems. As the Lord revealed their activities to me, I warned them many times but they continued in their vile activities. In many of my dreams, God the Father has been represented by my father. Here God was telling me that if I did not remove the persons who were bent on destroying the church by their worldly living, there was a good chance that I could also be punished for the same. The Church was suffering and if I did not take the right decision as pastor, I may have to go through some troubles to realize the same and take the right decision. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned. (Titus 3:10, 11)
96. FULL TIME MINISTRY Recently after I preached at a meeting, a believer came to me and asked me, "Doctor, can you pray and tell me whether it's the Lord's will that I go into fulltime ministry or that I continue doing my secular job in the gulf. You see a couple of servants of God have told me that it's the Lord's will that I go into full time ministry and I need a confirmation." That night as I sat to pray for this brother, I heard the Lord's voice saying, “Yes, I have called him to my work full time." I made this known to the brother who had inquired of me. But he said, "I have already booked my tickets to go back to the gulf. I don't think I want to go into fulltime ministry now. Can you pray for me once more and let me know what the Lord has to say regarding my going back." Not wanting to disappoint him, I said OK. The next night as I sat for prayer, I asked the Lord what he had to say about the brother's decision. After a while, I heard the voice of the Lord and He said, "If he wants to go to the gulf, let him go and he will not have anyone but himself to blame for the consequences." I made this known to the brother and he didn't say much; he had already made up his mind to go against the Lord's directions. This in spite of God speaking to him through several people. What I tell believers who are seekers of God’s counsel is this: If you want to ask the Lord for directions, obey what He tells you to do, otherwise don't ask at all. There is no point in disobeying when the Lord tells you his will. It will only lead to disaster. May the Lord Jesus grant us grace to obey His voice. The Bible says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. (Proverbs 3:5-8) 97. FAITH CHALLENGE Some time back, I saw a dream where I have to get past a huge door that is locked. I have a big suitcase in my hand and I am trying hard to find a way to get through the door to the other side. Finally I find an opening at the top of the door and with great difficulty I squeeze myself through the opening. Once on the other side, I heave a sigh of relief, but as I look around, I see that I could have just walked around the door to the other side. I had totally missed that aspect in my struggle to reach the other side. Passing through a financial crisis those days made me struggle hard to find ways to meet the urgent needs. Most of these were efforts on my part without putting my faith in action. Here the Lord was showing me that there is another way to get past these hurdles and that is putting my faith into action by praying and claiming the promises of God that He has given to us in His Word. There may be a period of waiting too in this case.
