You can pray right but think wrong

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; -Luke 18:1

God bless you and good morning. I learned the meaning of the word incongruent some years ago and in a very profound way, which I will tell about some other time. 

The word simply is when two things that should agree don’t. Those things can be what you are doing versus what you are saying. 

For example some years ago there was a vine video of a little girl dancing. In the background someone is saying “Do it for the vine”, to which she while dancing up a storm say, “I ain’t gonna do it!”  That is being incongruent. 

The scripture above contains instruction from the Lord. Direct instructions that are often being ignored. Not as much out of rebellion as out of not really knowing. 

Man ought to always pray what they think and think what they pray. An incongruent prayer would be praying for a financial blessing but thinking impoverishment. 

If I ask the Lord for a house, I can’t think apartment I’ve got to think or envision myself in the yard, planting flowers, the floor plan, etc. 

Our prayers must agree with our thinking because our thinking is based on where our faith really is...

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
