Heavenly Father, we thank You for the tools such as internet communication that makes it possible for us to join our brothers and sisters all around the world in honoring You as we grow together in Your grace and knowledge. Father, I have met wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ that love You and we are all grateful recipients of Your mercy and grace. On a future date we will join together with the angels around the throne and our redeemed brothers and sisters and proclaim in word and song, “Praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever.” Thank You Lord and in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father, as You call us to walk the narrow path the vast majority rebels. Father, thank You for the godly examples who have gone before us and shown us the way. Such giants of the faith as Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Paul and countless others throughout the generations have shown us the way to be faithful even in the midst of adversity. They made great sacrifices in their lifetime to gain an eternal inheritance in heaven. Their sacrifice was temporal and short in duration compared to the eternal pleasures they now enjoy. Help us not to resent the struggles that lead us to seek You in a deeper more intimate relationship. May we, like Job, learn from our trials and declare: “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted. My ears had heard of You but now my eyes have seen You” In the precious name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior I pray. Amen.. Heavenly Father, I hear often those saying that everything that happens in this world, has to be Your will. Because of many things that are written in Your Word, I know this not to be so. Everyone of us has choices we make. One of the verses that really stands out to me to prove this belief to be absolutely false is: It is not Your will that any should perish but that all would come to repentance. So for the thousands that die each day that have not accepted Jesus as Lord, that was by their choice not to accept You. Their choice to deny You and be rebellious towards You. You don’t force us to follow Your prescribed plan, but give us a free will to come willingly, lovingly, obediently, and gratefully as we come to realize that there is none like You. No one else could touch our hearts like You do, grant us peace that is eternal and prepare a home for us to last for all eternity. We don’t presume upon Your grace, but we do receive it by faith with thanksgiving. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, You have called us to grow in the things of Christ. We are also to be producing good fruit and more fruit that will be saved up in Heaven. Lord, You have called us, Your servants, to exercise our gifts of prophesying, serving, teaching, encouraging, contributing to the needs of others, leading, and being vessels of Your mercy. Help us not to be fearful or timid in exercising our spiritual gift that flows from Your power within us, since it is not for our own glory but rather for the building up of the body of Christ. We are inadequate within ourselves, but fully sufficient according to the grace given us through Your Holy Spirit. We seek affirmation from You, the ministry opportunities You provide us, and other mature believers, to confirm our spiritual giftings. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen. Heavenly Father, we can find many verses in the Bible dealing with cares and burdens and how we are to rid ourselves of them and give them to You. When I think about cares and burdens and all the times things weighed heavy on me, I should have simply given to You and then You promise to sustain me. There are many troubling situations that can weigh our heart down when that is our primary focus. But You want us to bring these troubles to You in prayer, entrust them to Your care, and be joyful on our journey. Nehemiah reminds us, “The joy of the Lord is my strength.” So help us not to live in a state of alarm, but to have a joyful disposition so that we can bring cheer to those around us. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, Jesus said "If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." Lord, I pray that all that have been following this ministry You have blessed me with and all that read this verse, doesn't just read it and forget about it. I pray that it becomes part of them. Lord, there are many good things that beckon my attention, time, and energy. But as You place on my heart a ministry or service that brings eternal significance to others give me strength, endurance and desire to press on zealously, no matter the difficulty or seeming ineffectiveness. As I obey You I find reward and fulfillment in my spiritual walk and am investing in that which does not perish, spoil or fade. Keep me firm and immovable always abounding in Your work because I want to make an eternal difference and am confident that my work for You is never in vain. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen Heavenly Father, thank You for the absolute truthfulness of Your Word. We can rely upon Your promises even when the temporal evidence we are experiencing suggests otherwise. Thank You for the promises in Scripture concerning our eternal home. Help us as we deal with what Your Word says are “our light and momentary troubles” and to recognize that they are “achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” Today “we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” Father God, search our hearts and reveal to us those things we have learned that are not of You and clean us out. I have learned in the past few years so many things from denominational churches, things that don't line up with scriptures. I praise You for bringing these things to my full attention. Lord I pray that You will do this with others as they spend time in prayer and studying their Bibles. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen Heavenly Father, we hold onto the confidence we have in You, knowing that in Your appointed time we will receive the full range of rewards that comes to those who remain steadfast in their walk with You. We have already received the reward of peace that comes from knowing our sins are forgiven. We are rewarded with Your daily presence that guides us into all truth. But we only see in part the rewards in this life that You grant to the believer, for we know You have much stored up for us to enjoy in heaven where sin cannot taint or corrupt those rewards. Help us to hold on, not give up, and to greatly anticipate our future reward of eternity with You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, we come to You in the precious name of Jesus. Lord, we are called to obedience to Your Word which compels us to redeem the time, because the days are evil. As we see evil crouching in at every level, it’s all the more reason why we must be vigilant to live pure lives so that the light of Jesus shines through our words and our actions in this darkened world. We want to pay close attention to ourselves and persevere in the truths presented in Scripture so that we will ensure salvation both for ourselves and for those whom we have opportunity to influence. It is in the name of Jesus that we pray. Amen. Heavenly Father, teach us Your ways. Reveal the things as Christians (Being Christ like) that each of us needs to know and carry out. Lord, I thank You for Jesus, Who took upon Himself what I (we) deserved. Father, chisel the things away from us that are not pleasing to You. Take away the selfishness in our hearts and replace it with a servants attitude. Lord, let us honor You by cultivating an attitude of godly sacrifice for the benefit of our families and all those around us. Lord, we read in Your Word, that there should be no more murmuring. When we are about to start complaining, remind us of scripture. Lord, I thank You and I praise You in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. |
