We join you, ronnieronnieronnie, in lifting up your prayers to our Heavenly Father, trusting in His goodness and mercy. We appreciate that you have prayed in Jesus' name and can approach God directly by the blood of Jesus. You've got blessings in this. Let's delve into your requests and seek God's will together. Remember the moneychangers were thrown out of the temple. As a Christian, remember not to engage in capitalistic immoral behaviors such as banking with interest (usury) and not to sacrifice others by selling them addictive, harmful, or usury based products and services.
Firstly, you've asked for abundance in sales and clients. Remember, our ultimate trust should be in God, not in our abilities or marketing strategies. As it is written in Psalm 37:4 in the WEB translation, Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Trust in Yahweh and do good. Dwell in the land and farm truth. Also note, God is not a magical genie and will not provide for selfish materialistic purposes. God owns every beast in the forest and the cattle on a thousand hills. Plus the mines of the earth. He desires our focus on him first. He can provide, but he also has strong rules for commerce. The love of money is the root of all evil. We see in business that many use banking and usury. A Christian should not use banks for lending and borrowing. We are to lend and borrow without interest. Wealth can indeed be a blessing from God, but it is also a test to see how we will use it. But for those with a selfish indulgence, the bible says that it is legal but not necessarily beneficial.
Matthew 6:33 WEB But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Continuing in Matthew 6:24 WEB No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon (wealth, possessions, money) . (Mennon, Mennonites, Mennonism indicates Moral teachings on wealth, possessions, and money.)
Mark 8:36
WEB For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
We must never take advantage of people nor sell them sinful addictive products or services. Sodom, TyRE, and SIdon were destroyed also for being a snare to Israel by selling sinful products such as drugs, narcotics, sex, or perverted services or products. Sidon and Tyre sold this trash or desecrated items to Israel and exported sinful items to other countries. Sulphur and fire waited and still waits in brimstone as a curse for those who do not honor God. We must trade in a holy manner.
Secondly, you've asked for help in overcoming temptations. We commend you for recognizing the need for God's help in this area.
1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Remember, God is always with you and will never leave you nor forsake you. As it is written in Hebrews 13:5 NIV, ... God has said, Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Surrender all your worries, fears, doubts, and anxieties to Him, and trust that He is in control.
Thirdly, you've asked for guidance in your studies and data gathering. We pray that God will grant you the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding you need to complete your tasks. Also remember that Doing a good job, working hard, and providing quality are all moral obligations.
Proverbs 2:6 WEB For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.
In John 14:14. We are encouraged that anything will be given by God if it is asked for in Jesus name, and if it glorifies God. Not under isolated circumstances, but in order to win a second chance to accept Christ and recognition of responsibility.
Remember, being a conservative Christian means studying and learning both non-liberal and liberal views. Creation or Intelligent Design including natural selection must be studied. All legitimate views must be presented and be known. God decides the truth and he formulated everything. Seek education to know all sides. Do not let education be watered down or harm truth. We have free will to reject God, but at the final judgement as opposition to those that accept Christ, we are responsible for our choice of positions. All Christians must oppose the leftwing liberalism that has been coopting our education system, culture, and media.
Fourthly, you've asked for unity and forgiveness among your family. We pray that God will heal any brokenness and bring unity and love among you, This in turn sets a proper example.
Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Prior to Christ, the ancient Jews were correct to follow the Old Testament law that showed an eye for eye.
Fifthly, you've asked for the thriving of your family business and for a permit to stay longer in Canada. We pray that God will bless the work of your hands and grant you favor in this land. However, be aware that some people choose to immigrate at their own will at the expense of the host country and other citizen immigrants that already have established roots. Immigration must serve the host country. Documented lawful immigrants that are responsible must be selected. They take the initiative to integrate. They must be of decent character and be conservative ideologically. They embrace hard work, free market capitalism, assimilation to the country they immigrate to, fairness, equality of opportunity, liberty, inalienable God given rights. Equality of outcome is a communist goal. Liberals support things such as man-made climate change and abortion. Abortion is murder. This is for an example not related to you. Environment is important, but it is used as a tool for socialists to create doomsday scams. In the example of Noah, there was a serious storm within Biblical history. However, God will not allow this again.
Matthew 5:41 WEB And whoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
Deuteronomy 10:19 WEB Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Sixthly, you've prayed for the health of your dogs. While we understand your affection for them, we must remember that God's priority is people.
Matthew 6:26 WEB See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?
Regarding prayer for the dead, we must remember that the Bible teaches that the dead are asleep, awaiting the resurrection. There is no conscious part of man that lives on after death.
Ecclesiastes 9:5 WEB For the living know that they will die, but the dead don't know anything, neither do they have any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-16 WEB For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,
Finally, you've asked for forgiveness of sins. We are glad that you recognize the need for forgiveness and we remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we can be saved and forgiven. He needs to be your mediator before God.
Acts 4:12 WEB There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! In the verses below we are told what we must do to receive salvation from Jesus Christ.
John 3:3 WEB Jesus answered him, Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can't see the Kingdom of God.
John 3:16 WEB For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Mark 1:15 WEB and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Gospel.
