Jesus is often called Immanuel. The name means, “The mighty God with us.” Jesus was born into this world in order to reveal the Father, The Almighty God, to mankind. We’d forgotten what God was really like. Our sin we inherited from our fathers had blocked out of our minds the truth of Who God was. Jesus lived, as a man—filled with God, the Holy Spirit—thirty-three years in this world and constantly showed us the Father. And one of the things about Him that amazed His followers was the way He prayed and God answered Him. The secret to Jesus’ prayers being answered so quickly and so powerfully was that He always asked according to the Father’s will.

God teaches us that He has given to man a system by which his physical and material needs can be met. It’s quite simple, but very, very effective. God releases into us at the moment of conception certain abilities which, if we follow His leading, He will later direct into a calling through which our needs will be met. A surgeon gets thinking and motor skills which will enable him to remove harmful things and reset body tissue so that God’s natural healing can take place. An automobile mechanic gets the understanding in his mind and skill in his hands by which to diagnose and repair your vehicle. God then intends for us to be taught by parents, pastors, and other teachers how to work with those skills to better the lives of others. They, in turn, pay us for our services, which betters our lives. God’s Kingdom gets advanced in both parties because each realizes that God’s way works; which encourages faith in God’s Word and His calling in other areas of life.
