Heavenly Father, We are to be strong in You. You gave us a protection against the wiles of the devil and every believer should know and wear this armor day and night. We want to be a people whose hearts and minds are One with Yours. Jesus defeated the enemy in every area, now we have to be strong in Christ Jesus. Through our diligent study and application of Your Living Word our thoughts and attitudes are formed. Keep us faithful to the Truth of Your knowledge. We stand in firm opposition to the world’s substitutes; the acceptance, condoning, and celebration of anything You describe as sin. The world may dress it up, commercialize it, make it appealing, and cover up the disastrous results it brings on the individual, his or her family and society at large. Help us to read, retain, and regard Your knowledge as our pattern for life. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Heavenly Father, as a bunch of us during a Bible study last night were discussing the book of Revelation, we’re so glad for the revelation You have gave to the apostle John. As he was permitted to see worship circles in heaven he gave us a glimpse of the unending praise that surrounds Your throne. Though we continue to travail here on earth, we already join our spirits with those of every tribe, tongue and nation, who will be standing around the throne declaring with one voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” Amen Heavenly Father, we thank You for sending Jesus here and also for dying to redeem us. We thank You for His innocent blood that didn't just cover our sins, but washes them away for away forever more. Hallelujah! Father God, we choose to contend for the faith once for all entrusted to the saints throughout Scripture and to all generations that follow. We love You with our heart, soul, mind and strength so we choose to live according to Your pattern established in Scripture. We choose to align our desires with Your design for our lives and refuse to “exchange the truth of God for a lie”. Your truths bring light and life; Satan’s lies bring darkness and death. Those who follow the lie claim to be wise, yet they become fools as they exchange glory reserved only for You, the Creator, for that which You created. So we choose to give our full allegiance to You, our Creator and Father, who is forever praised. In the precious name of Jesus we give thanks and pray. Amen Heavenly Father, I'm not ashamed of the Good News. It is from Your power to save everyone who believes. Jesus said: preach the gospel to all nations and to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils. Father God, I offer thanks to You that we do know and we have heard that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. Yet there are those who have never heard this message and there are still others who have exchanged the truth of God for the lie, choosing to worship and serve created things rather than the Creator which makes their thinking futile and their foolish hearts darkened. In ourselves we are nothing but as we walk in the light of Your inspired Holy Word we live in truth and walk in righteousness. So we give praise to You, the Creator, who is forever blessed. In the name of Jesus, my Lord and my Savior. Amen. Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your truths that you show me everyday in Your Word. I have noticed as I communicate with others that so many are clinging to a false gospel. So many hang onto and say half verses and say that is the meaning, when the other half of the verse turns the meaning completely around in meaning. Father God, I pray for a discerning spirit to help me recognize truth from falsehood. Help me to know when others are lying and help me also to recognize the lies I tell myself. You always speak the truth and You declare that which is right from that which is wrong. When the world describes a lifestyle or belief system to be good when You declare it to be evil, help me to stand firm upon Your holy truths as I faithfully read them in the Scriptures. Give me bold conviction to stand firm for truth even when it seems as though no one stands with me. The “truths” as purported by this world shift like the changing winds but Your Truth stands for all eternity! I stand firm as I tighten the belt of truth about me. And I protect my heart and mind with the shield of righteousness through Christ Jesus my Lord in whose name I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus, the Word, Whom was in the beginning. Father God, I thank You for Your Word and those that have kept the faith in You from the beginning and passed You truth down from generation to generation. Jesus said, "I'm giving you a new commandment: Love each other in the same way that I have loved you." He also said "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" We also want to serve Your purpose in our generation. Help us to stay steadfast and strong as we run this race set before us. Thankfully, in this race, we’re not in competition to be the only prizewinner. Instead we take hold of the hands of those who run with us, those who’ve fallen and struggle to get up, and we invite others on the sidelines to join us in this great lifelong journey. As we cross the finish line we will receive the grand prize of life eternal with You. And it’s only possible because of Jesus’ shed blood on our behalf. We thank You Jesus and in Your name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I call out to You today and praise You, for You are awesome and so worthy to be praised. Lord, it is certain that death ruled because of one person's failure. It's even more certain that those who receive Your overflowing kindness and the gift of Your approval will rule in life because of One person, Jesus Christ. Father God, we testify today to the marvelous grace of Christ Jesus our Lord. His loving grace exceeds our sin and our guilt, making it possible for us to have our sins completely forgiven. What He did on Calvary brought hope from despair, and turned the gloom of death into the brightness of eternity. When our walk on earth seems long or dreary, precious Lord, linger near as You uphold us with Your mighty right hand. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus, my Lord and my Savior. I thank You for Your Word, in which we learn Your heart and we can see very clear how we should live our lives to be pleasing to You. Lord, I think of so many that I have witnessed to that think they have done things so bad that there is no way that You will forgive them. Jesus, You have shown us the greatest example of loyalty when Peter denied You at the critical hour prior to Your crucifixion. It is so encouraging to know that Peter was forgiven, reinstated, and empowered to be a great messenger of the Gospel. As we follow Your example we will be forgiving, loyal, and dependable. We’ll also recognize that there are times when our friends will fail us. When they do, remind us that we have disappointed our friends at times as well. Help us to be loyal brothers and sisters lending companionship, support, strength, and direction to our brother or sister in Christ. It is in Jesus name that we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, for many years I have felt such a compassion to lead others to Christ. There is no higher calling in our earthly pilgrimage, than to lead another to faith. The vast majority are looking for answers to life’s challenges and many are learning that it doesn’t come via prosperity, politics, vocational training, educational ranking, or anything else that expires at the end of this life. As You open up the door of faith, help us to communicate the gospel message that brings hope, peace, joy, and forgiveness through the person of Jesus Christ. It is because of Him that we have life everlasting and hope eternal. Thank You Jesus and in Your name I ask and pray. Amen Heavenly Father, I praise You for being a loving, providing Father. I hear so many complaining how this is wrong with their life, or if only this, or maybe that, when You are all any of us need. You have a perfect plan for each of our lives, including eternal life for all that turn from their wicked ways, believe in their heart and confess Jesus as their Lord and Savior Father God,we thank You for Jesus who gave Himself as a ransom for many. He could have possessed His heavenly glory alone, without stooping down to make Himself a servant being made in human likeness. He could have entered heaven alone even after He took on the nature of man, by His own perfect righteousness without the agony of suffering or death, but then we could not have been saved. The entire human race would have been lost. We thank You, God, for Jesus who became obedient to death, even death on a cross. As a result You lifted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name. It is through the obedience of Your Son, Jesus, that many are made righteous and we are forever grateful. In Jesus name we give thanks. Amen. |
