Heavenly Father, as I have had the chance to be a witness to a family that doesn't know You the past few days amazing things have happened. I thank You Lord, for giving me the words to speak to them during this time. As we live in the Light of Your Word the devil’s venomous plots are exposed. During the last couple weeks I have not been caught by surprised but rather have been filled with Your Spirit which prepares me to be on the offense rather than the defense of many things going on in many situations. Lord, Your Word shows me we should walk in truth and confidence as we stand strong on the day of evil. As we wear the full armor You have provided, for our protection, we can fight against the devil’s evil tricks. Our fight is not against flesh and blood but against the powers of this world’s darkness and the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly world. Lord, I pray in the spirit continuously asking for Your discernment, strength, and guidance. Lord, I also pray for our brothers and sisters that together we will stand firm against the enemy of our souls. Thank You Jesus for leading me, guiding me and protecting me and I pray this in Your powerful name. Amen.

Heavenly Father, there is no one like You; You are mighty, and Your name is great and powerful. You are the true God, you are the living God and the eternal king. When You are angry, the world trembles; the nations cannot endure Your anger. Lord, 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. We ask in Jesus name. Amen. Heavenly Father, You know all things and even when it seems our lives are unraveling, we can count on You being always in control. Lord, to me it seems like the devil gets more credit than is due from many believers. We can see throughout scriptures that, yes he will come, but there are many scriptures if we had enough faith in them, to see the enemy flee with his tail between his legs. Lord we know that the enemy will bring doubt to our minds, push those buttons where we are weak. We know of things that he is capable of bringing to our lives and doing to us, just by reading the Book of Job. But Lord, You make a way of escape as we come to You in prayer, as we search and apply the Scriptures, and as we practice self-control. Thank You Jesus! We can endure temptation by keeping our hearts pure and our eyes fixed upon the future rewards that come from obeying You and walking in Your ways. Halleluiah! We thank and praise Your name, Jesus and also in Your name we ask this prayer. Amen. Ephesians 6:10-18 GW Finally, receive your power from the Lord and from his mighty strength. (11) Put on all the armor that God supplies. In this way you can take a stand against the devil's strategies. (12) This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world. (13) For this reason, take up all the armor that God supplies. Then you will be able to take a stand during these evil days. Once you have overcome all obstacles, you will be able to stand your ground. (14) So then, take your stand! Fasten truth around your waist like a belt. Put on God's approval as your breastplate. (15) Put on your shoes so that you are ready to spread the Good News that gives peace. (16) In addition to all these, take the Christian faith as your shield. With it you can put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one. (17) Also take salvation as your helmet and the word of God as the sword that the Spirit supplies. (18) Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is. For the same reason be alert. Use every kind of effort and make every kind of request for all of God's people. Heavenly Father, You are the great Creator of the Heavens and earth and all that inhabits them. Father, I thank You for creating all people in Your likeness. Lord, through meeting people in person and the thousands I have gotten to know on the internet, I see such diversity in the body of Christ. I see variety in personalities, giftings, ethnicity, and varied interests. Lord, we see in Your word where Paul, being led by the Holy Spirit told us "as we dwell together in unity You help us to become like minded, having the same love, being of one accord." Your work goes forward when we set aside our personal agenda, and for the sake of the body, focus on that which we have in common with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Lord, as much as it is possible, help us to be at peace with our church family, our immediate and extended family as well. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, I thank You for the love You have for me and the patience, even when I go through times of being hard headed. Lord, we know that in ourselves we are nothing, but in You, we are made complete. Our identity is found in Christ and that is the basis of our self-worth making us valuable and capable of worthy service through Christ who dwells within us. Help us not to be consumed with thoughts of how the world views us, but to think soberly with good judgment so that we do not look to the wrong source for approval or imitate that which deglorifies Christ. Jesus, I pray this prayer in Your wonderful, powerful name. Amen. Heavenly Father, may my thoughts and desires be only on You. Lord, for many this is a busy time and we can get caught up in deadlines, busyness and the drama of life. Lord, I recognize often the daily grind is not appealing as I awaken each morning to the tasks before me. Sometimes the routine seems endless and I find myself lacking fulfillment in this aspect of my life and yet it requires the majority of my time and focus. Jesus, please help me to find the hidden strength that only comes from seeking You to deal with the negative attitudes that tempt me daily. Help me also to look beyond the immediate to the deeper meaning of each day’s task. Above all, help me to keep my eyes on spiritual truths as I meditate upon Your Word and apply its meaning to my life each new day. It is in this faithful practice of placing You at the center of my focus that I can rise above the difficulties that come my way. Restore to me, this day, the joy of Your salvation and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Lord, I am reminded this morning of: Psalms 99:1-7 KJV The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. (2) The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. (3) Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. (4) The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. (5) Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. (6) Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. (7) He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. Lord, I thnk You for Your Word (Jesus) and in His name I pray.Amen Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior and I thank You that my life was put here in the United States. Though I am saddened of what this country is becoming, I do thank those throughout the centuries that have stood up for Godly principles. Lord, so many of this countries men and women have lost their lives to defend our freedoms here in the United States. Lord, and for that I am thankful. I am most thankful for the sacrifice that Your only begotten Son did for mankind throughout the world. Tho the word despises Him and has even when He walked on earth and will till He returns, me and my house will serve Him. Lord, the vast majority give little to no thought of the immense burden Jesus bore as He took our sins upon Himself that we might receive forgiveness. Lord, I believe and am thankful that Jesus gave His all that we might receive Your all; forgiveness for our sins and eternal life in Heaven and power that the Holy Spirit gives us here on earth. Lord, I am grateful beyond words and thank You for Your undeserved love mercy and grace. In the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Heavenly Father, thank You for this song in my heart this morning. Lord, You are my God and I will highly honor You and praise Your name. You have done miraculous things and You have been completely reliable in carrying out Your plans from long ago. You have turned cities into ruins, fortified cities into piles of rubble, and foreigners' palaces into cities that will never be rebuilt. That is why strong people will honor You, and cities ruled by the world's tyrants will fear you. Lord, You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the rain, and shade from the heat. Heavenly Father, we read in Revelation, the Words spoken to church of Ephesus about turning away from their first love. "Revelation 2:3-7 GW You have endured, suffered trouble because of my name, and have not grown weary. (4) However, I have this against you: The love you had at first is gone. (5) Remember how far you have fallen. Return to me and change the way you think and act, and do what you did at first. I will come to you and take your lamp stand from its place if you don't change. (6) But you have this in your favor-you hate what the Nicolaitans are doing. I also hate what they're doing. (7) "Let the person who has ears listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give the privilege of eating from the tree of life, which stands in the paradise of God, to everyone who wins the victory." Lord, I love You and my desire is to always serve You. You are opening my eyes and ears to Your truth. Lord, I pray that I always hear Your call and thank You for guiding me back when I slip off the path of Your perfect way. I thank You Lord and I pray this in the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior. Amen. Heavenly Father, I praise Your name, for You are the One true God. Lord, I ask You to guide my heart to do only the things You instruct me to do and not waste my time on wishes and dreams and words that are not of you. Lord, my desire is to serve my Lord and Savior. May my thoughts be fixed on Heavenly things and the desires You have planned for me to do. May my tongue only speak truths and words that teach, uplift and edify others. Lord, may, You guide me in difficult situations and remind me that I serve an extraordinary God who does not rely on natural solutions but works in the supernatural realm to meet each one of my needs. Halleluiah! Lord Jesus, I trust in You to guide my path, to light my way and when the attacks from the enemy come to remind me that I have a comforter and He will lead me in the right ways. May I be well grounded in Your Word and take up all the armor that You supply so I will be able to take a stand during these evil days. I thank You and ask this prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen Heavenly Father, I thank You for pouring Your love down on us and for the compassion that Christ Jesus has for man kind. Lord, help me with that compassion. Help me to recognize when you put someone on my heart to help them that I hear that call and then lean on You in faith to carry out that mission, not for my glory, but to bring Glory to You. Lord, as Your servants, we don’t want to turn the other way when You bring into our view the hurting and neglected people of the world. When we see the hungry or thirsty, the stranger in need of clothing, the sick and frail, those imprisoned, and the countless other oppressing needs among us Your loving compassion compels us to reach out in whatever way we can to be an extension of Your kingdom. For we know that when we do it for those considered the least on earth we not only empower and bless them, but we also obey and please You. May the evidence of the grace of God be visible in our attitudes and in our actions as we respond to the opportunities You give us everyday. In the name of Jesus we pray. |
