I have heard people say that once they get saved, everything is going to be all right. They think that they won't have to deal with the same problems they had before they got saved. Yes this is true in a sense. The way you won't have to deal with the same problems is by changing your attitude about your problems.
For instance, if your problem was a lack of finances, now that you are saved, your focus will be on trusting in God's word for Him to meet your every need. As you read God's word, you will find out all of the benefits that we have now that we are in the family of God.
Here is a scripture that is great to meditate on when you need strength to trust God to meet your needs.
Psalms 28:7-8
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. King James Version
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. New International Version
He is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trusted in him, and he helped me. Joy rises in my heart until I burst out in songs of praise to him. The Lord protects his people and gives victory to his anointed king. The Living Bible
In conclusion, as you take time to read God's word, meditate on the word and trust that God's word is true, you will be strengthen to have joy in your heart to the point that you will want to give thanks and praise to God for meeting your every need.
Don't forget to use your kneeling prayer pillow as you spend time with God to be strengthened now that you are saved.

Get Strength To Be Redeemed Back To God
Have you ever asked someone if they are saved and get the reply of "I used to be saved". There is no such thing as "used to be saved". You either are or you aren't. This type of response shows the level of maturity of the individual who is questioned. I will show you how you will never have to say this again.
Salvation is forever! I believe that when individuals find themselves struggling with sins on a daily basis, they begin to get the mindset of "I used to be saved". The Bible says for us to lay aside every sin and weight that easily beset us. When we don't fellowship with the saints, read God's Word and pray to God daily, our spirit man isn't able to grow and mature. In order to be strengthened, we have to study the Word of God and spend time with God daily. In our time of weakness we should pray to God for strength. You may even get a prayer partner that you can be accountable to.
In order to get the assurance you need about your salvation, take 60 seconds and pray to God so that you can be strengthened and redeemed back to a right relationship with God:
Psalms 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight O Lord my strength, and my redeemer. King James Version
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord my Rock and my Redeemer. New International Version
May my spoken words and unspoken thoughts be pleasing even to you, O Lord my Rock and my Redeemer. The Living Bible
In conclusion, when you utilize your kneeling prayer pillow to read God's Word, Pray according to God's Word, Know what God want you to do through revelation, Then Go do what God wants you to do, you will get your strength back. You will no longer say that "I used to be saved". Thank God for salvation, strength and redeeming us.

While Utilizing Your Kneeling Prayer Pillow, Find Out If You On The Right Pathway
2 Samuel 22:32-33 says For who is God save the Lord? and who is a rock save our God? God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. King James Version
For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. New International Version
Our Lord alone is God; e have no other Savior. God is my strong fortress; He has made me safe. The Living Bible
As I read that scripture, I began to ponder on the thought of being on the right path in life. I have encountered numerous people who have been in jobs for years but feel unfulfilled. I believe it is because they aren't operating in their God given gift.
So you may say, how do I find out what my God given gift is? Well, the way you find out is by spending time with God. You can also look at the family tree on both sides of the family to see what the family gift is. You will be surprised to find out that you are probably already operating in your gift. For example, if your great grandmother was a nurse, your mother was a social worker and now you want to be a school teacher, you will see that your family is gifted with the gift of service. All of these jobs offer service of some sort.
So what do you do when God reveals to you your gift? You can begin to thank God for his revelation and ask him to give you the strength to start transitioning over into your gift if you aren't already operating in it. He is our Lord and Savior and can help you when it seems impossible.
In conclusion, as you utilize your kneeling prayer pillow during your prayer time, God will give you the strength to implement kingdom strategies that He download to you so that you can get on the pathway that he has already predestined for you. Do not be afraid to change paths. You are never too old and it's never too late to start. When you get weak, ask God for His strength. Know that you have a harvest of souls to reach as you operate in your gift.

Using The Kneeling Prayer Pillow Will You Be Strengthened While In A Sinful State
I guess you would probably say that someone who is sinning wouldn't dare think to go to God in prayer. Well, I beg to differ. Jesus hung out with the sinners so that He could be a light in their dark situations to give them hope.
Yes you can give someone who is in a sinful state a kneeling prayer pillow so that when they decide to repent, they can fall on their knees and get back in right relationship with God.
So the next time you want to encourage someone while in their sinful state, here is a scripture they can meditate on to get strength:
Romans 5:6-8
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us in that while we wer yet sinners, Christ died for us. King James Version
You see at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man though for a good man someone might dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. New International Version
When we were utterly helpless with no way of escape, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners who had no use for him. Even if we were good, we really wouldn't expect anyone to die for us, though of course that might be barely possible. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. The Living Bible
In conclusion, never give up on the sinner. Jesus didn't and niether should we. Continue to spend time meditating on the Word while using your kneeling prayer pillow so that you can offer strength through the Word.

Can You Be Strengthened When Using Your Kneeling Prayer Pillows In The House Of God?
Today is Wednesday. This is the day that the major of churches have their mid-week church service. I'm not sure if people go to the alter to kneel and pray during mid-week service like they probably would during a prayer meeting service.
Every now and then during the mid-week service, the Holy Spirit compels individuals to go to the alter to kneel and pray. Some of them are there for a while but at that time, I don't believe that they are concerned about whether their knees are hurting or not since they are so caught up in the moment.
I know I was caught up one Friday night service and I danced for hours before the Lord. I took no thought about how I was going to feel the next day. When the service was over, I was actually strengthened not only in the spirit but in the natural as well. But dancing is different than kneeling to pray in the sense that our knees are more sensitive when used.
Utilizing a kneeling prayer pillow during your time of prayer for an extended period of time will not only benefit you spiritually but also prevent you from having problems with your knees because of kneeling on them. Here is a scripture that I feel expresses my heart about being in the house of God.
Take 60 seconds and meditate on the following scripture pertaining to the giver of strength:
Psalms 84:4
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will be still praising thee. Selah. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. King James Version
Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. New International Version
How happy are those who can live in your Temple, singing your praises. Happy are those who are strong in the Lord, who want above all else to follow your steps. The Living Bible
Write a prayer to the hand of Him who strengthens based on the memorized verse:
Thank you God for strengthening me as I go to your sanctuary. My desire is to be more like you. As I pray, help me to be transformed into your image.
Write down what God's will is for you as the one who strengthens based on the memorized verse:
God wants me to be glad to come to the house of God to pray, praise and walk out his promises. I am to be a living example of God in the earth to the world.
Write down what God wants you to go and do based on His strength to reap the harvest:
God wants me to fellowship with the saints in his house and invite others who don't know him to come and get to know Him as thier Lord and Saviour.
In conclusion, a kneeling prayer pillow can be used in the house of God as well as in your personal home. Let's get to the house of God as often as we can so that we can be strengthen for what God has planned for our lives.

Can You Use Your Kneeling Prayer Pillow To Talk To The Hand That Strengthens To Offer Up Praise?
I feel my help coming as I get up from praying on my kneeling prayer pillow! I say this as I read the 41st chapter of Psalms earlier today because of what someone else is experiencing at this time in his life. I see how God comes to the rescue of His people in times of trouble and despair.
The Old Testament Books are filled with stories for our example of the goodness of the Lord. He knows that we will have times of weakness because of what we have been anointed to do for the kingdom. The enemy wants us to give up and believe that the thing that we know that God has told us would come to pass won't happen. But God is always on top of Him game. He strengthens us in the midst of it all.
As He strengthens us to persevere and manifest, we are to remember to offer up praise, adoration and glory to God for the things that He has done as we pray on our kneeling prayer pillow. The following scripture is an example of what we should do to show thanksgiving to God.
Take 60 seconds and meditate on the following scripture pertaining to the giver of strength:
Psalms 81:1-2
Sing aloud unto God our strength; make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel,the pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. King James Version
Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre. New International Version
The Lord makes us strong! Sing praises! Sing to Israel's God! Sing, accompanied by drums; pluck the sweet lyre and harp. The Living Bible
Write a prayer to the hand of Him who strengthens based on the memorized verse:
Thank you Jesus for knowing when I get weak. Thank you for coming to my rescue. You will never leave me or forsaken me.
Write down what God's will is for you as the one who strengthens based on the memorized verse:
God wants me to give praise to Him as He is with me through the thick and the thin, my highs and my lows and my valleys and my victories.
Write down what God wants you to go and do based on His strength to reap the harvest:
God wants me to let others know that if they will trust God as they go through, He will strengthen them along their journey. When they are strengthened, they are to be mindful to offer up praise and adoration to Him.
In conclusion, we are to offer up praise as we are strengthened. Praise is a sign of rejoicing to the Lord that let's him know that we believe that everything is going to be all right. By the way, you can offer up praise to God as you utilize your kneeling prayer pillow to pray without ceasing.

Talk To The Hand That Strengthens For Both Riches And Honor
Have you thought about what life would be like if you obtained riches and honor? Would you buy that big house you always dreamed about living in? Would you buy that one of a kind special designed car that you want to drive? Would you help the poor and the needy?
These are valid questions since these next 10 years have been declared as the years that God is going to transfer the wealth of the wicked to the righteous. This will be done in order for God to establish His kingdom on earth and to get the glory that is due Him.
So you may be saying, why do I need strength for both riches and honor? Well have you gotten a lump sum of money in the past and instead of tithing 10 percent and blessing the poor and needy with another 5 percent, you decided to splurge on clothes, food and lavish vacations? This is why, we are living in the last days and we need to be kingdom minded with ou finances. The gospel has gotten to be preached throughout the world before Jesus returns. Of course, this requires money.
So when you get the wealth that God has already predestined for you to have, take time out to hear from God so that you can know what it is He would have you to do.
Here is the scripture that sparked this thought process:
Take 60 seconds and meditate on the following scripture pertaining to the giver of strength for both riches and honor:
I Chronicles 29:12
Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great and to give strength unto all. King James Version
Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt nd give strength to all. New International Version
Riches and honor come from you alone, and you are the Ruler of all mankind; your hand controls power and might and it is at your discretion that men are made great and given strength. The Living Bible
Write a prayer to the hand of Him who strengthens based on the memorized verse:
Thank you Jesus for choosing to bless me with riches and honor. I pray that I will be grateful enough to be a blessing to others and bring honor and glory to you name because of how you blessed me.
Write down what God's will is for you as the one who strengthens based on the memorized verse:
God wants me to be mindful of his kingdom agenda and have the strength to do his good and perfect will once I am blessed with riches and honor.
Write down what God wants you to go and do based on His strength to reap the harvest:
God wants me to have compassion on those who don't know Jesus as Lord and Saviour and the provider of riches and honor so that they will want to get to know Him as their Lord and provider.
In conclusion, it sounds good to say what we will do if we obtain a certain level of riches but it is a totally different thing when it really actually manifest. Continue to believe God for your inheritance and seek Him for strength to do the right thing when you receive it.
