Status Updates From The Prayer of Jabez: Break...

i want to keep on reading

So, so good! This is exactly what my heart needs right now. 💕

This book is very encouraging and is bringing to light how we should be asking for blessings from God. It’s kinda like “well duh” but the way it’s mentioned makes you think about how we go day to day not in much expectancy for God to bless us when it should be opposite.

Day 7 - Chapter 7 - Making Jabez Mine

Day 6 - Chapter 6 - Welcome to God’s Honor Roll

Day 5 - Chapter 5 - Keeping The Legacy Safe

Day 4 - Chapter 4 - The Touch Of Greatness

Day 1 - Chapter 3 - Living Large For God

Day 1 - Chapter Two - So Why Not Ask?

Day 1 - Chapter One - Little Prayer, Giant Prize

"…wanting for ourselves nothing more and nothing less than what God wants for us." — yes.

On this page Wilkinson give the fictional account of a "giant of the faith" beginning his prayer with "please bless me." A 'giant' would know better. Jesus gave the correct model for prayer, it should always begin with praise and adoration of our Father, followed by submission to His will, not ours.

This book is beautiful. Everyone should read it. Just one verse has so much meaning and depth… it’s amazing.

This is so eye-opening. Recommend it to all my fellow Christians!

Short little book that, although I'm enjoying, still not 100% sure about. Getting some good things out of it though. Right now. Id say its *about* 3/5 and that 3 is kind of on the low end for me but not quite in the 2s for me. For now.

“What counts is knowing who you want to be and asking for it.”

But… it’s not?? about me??

"Since Satan most opposes those who are becoming the greatest threat to him and his kingdom, the more God answers your Jabez prayers. the more you should be prepared to confront spiritual attack." p. 71
"He [Jabez} wanted to live free from the bondage of evil because God's trustworthy character and steadfast Word had showed him something unimaginably better." p. 75

For the religious but not so religious people like me, this is a great start to prayer 101

Whatever our gifts, education, or vocation might be, our calling is to do God’s work on earth.

Living large for God

Bull shit with some bible verses thrown in. I guess it’s imparting the power for anyone to ask for help and forgiveness through its convoluted jargon.

Awesome

It’s a very good book. It’s encouraging and inspiring. I love it.

First read on Goodreads but 2nd read in real life.

Enlightening!!

Instead of standing near the river's edge, asking for a cup of water to get you through each day, you'll do something unthinkable--you will take the little prayer with the giant prize and jump into the river!

4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 New International Version (NIV)

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 New International Version (NIV)

To all who like christians in the book of Acts, look at what they are now and who they'll never be, and what they can do now and what they'll never be able to do and still ask God for the world.
