LORD WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLESSINGS

Father, as we come to the closing of another day, we would like to thank You for all the blessing we received.  Lord, we thank You for waking us up this morning in our right mind, and we ask You to strengthen those family who lost a loved one.  Lord, we thank You for the hedge of protection You put around us throughout this day, and we pray for those that will not see another day.  Lord, we thank You for guiding us home, and to other destinations safely.  Father, we thank You for providing for our needs past, present, and future, and we pray for the homeless.  Especially the children Lord, please keep them from being victimized while they are on these streets.  Lord, we look forward to another day to get it right, if it is Your will, in Jesus name we pray Amen

A Sin Is A Sin

Romans 3: 23 - 24 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Galatians 6:1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.  Matthew 18:15 If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.

There are only two types of sins secret sins and public sins, but they are all sins.  We think sin only applies to some vile act.  Some church people that want to hang big scarlet letter around the necks of people that have not received Christ yet, but they should first clean the sins off their plates.  Just because people do not see your sins, do not mean you are not a sinner.  Most of us have done some things that we could be incarcerated for, but we did not get caught.  So do not talk about those that did get caught, because we are just as guilty.  If you steal from anyone, you are just as guilty as the person committing adultery.  If you do not honor your mother and father, you are just as guilty as a person practicing immoral sex acts.   If you bear false witness against your neighbor, you are just as guilty as a person who kills.  The fact is, we are all sinners, for there is no one, saved, who has lived a life that did not in some way fall short of God's glory. So stop judging people, because they sin differently from you, a sin is a sin.


Father, we are all sinners, but we strive to be more like Christ, so we are not separated from You.    Father, we are so grateful that Jesus made a way for us to be reconciled through His death and resurrection.  Father, we have broken Your Laws, and we are truly sorry, so we repent and turn away from our sins.  Thank You for forgiving us and give us Your strength to help us not to commit the sins we have repented from again.  Father, we invite You into our hearts and minds to rule from this day forward.  Lord, fill us with the Holy Spirit to help us obey Your words so we can put our sinful nature to rest, in Jesus name we pray Amen

ALL SCRIPTURE'S ARE PRAYERS

Before we kneel down and pray we must have a clean heart,  there should be no anger, envy, hate, or jealousy in our hearts. We must also forgive anyone that has wronged us before we ask for forgiveness of our sins. Once our hearts and minds are clear, we can begin to pray to our God, for His will.  In His will mean we do not have to ask God for every little thing because he already knows our needs and wants. Now if you would like to pray for any particular thing or person, then you can put in a prayer request for that, but normally all we have to do is pray from the Scriptures. Meaning something as simple as the Lord's Prayer, the Jabez prayer, or any pray you find in the Bible allows us to pray in God's will.  We do not have to ask God over and over for the same thing; this tells our Lord that we have no faith in Him to answer our prayers. Once we have prayed to our Father for something, all we have to do from that point is thank Him until it manifests in our lives. Learning how to pray is another good reason for studying the Word of God.

 May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace as we trust in Him so that we may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Lord, You are convinced, that we are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another.  Lord, You said our purpose is to tell the lost about the grace of God, to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. You gave us the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.  Therefore, we glory in Christ Jesus in our service to God.  We will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through us in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what the Word says, our action, and by the power of signs and wonders, of the Spirit of God. Amen  (Romans 15:13-19)

OUR BLESSINGS COMES FROM GOD THROUGH OUR FAITH

We all believe in something, but never think that typing Amen, saying yes, or sharing a post will bring us blessings.  This is false teachings; our blessing comes from God through our faith, prayers, worship, praise, tithing, and giving. We must do our part to receive a blessing from God, and that part is not just typing Amen or sharing chain letters.   The Word also tells us, “that we are blessed, not just so we can be comfortable, but so that we will bless others.” (Genesis 12:2, I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.) Genesis 12:2 is the first law of our blessings, that if we concentrate on blessing others, God will take care of our needs. In the Book of Proverbs chapter 3:1-10, God provides us with five distinct principles that we can follow to prepare ourselves for receiving His blessings.  Even if we follow this, it will not guarantee our blessing. So do not be fooled by chain letters and false teachings, it just sounds good.  Study the book of Haggai it is a marvelous lesson on how to get and keep the blessing and favor of the Lord.  Study the Word of God and you will learn how to receive God’s blessing.

Lord, teach everyone that follow You how to read to show ourselves approved, so we will be followers of the truth and not what sounds good.  Father, You said, (James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial. Because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised.”)  Lord, help us not look over our blessing by expecting a financial benefit only.  Father, give us the wisdom of Your Word so false teaching will not fool us.  Lord, sometimes the sins of this world and our choices delay our blessing, so order our steps in Your will to prevent this from happening.  Father remove the obstacles that keep us from sitting at Your feet or hindering our blessings.  Lord give us Christ-like strength and courage to follow and obey Your word so we will receive favor from You and eternal life.  Lord, thank You for the blessing of waking up in our right minds, a roof over our heads, and food to eat in Jesus name Amen

GOD LOVES US NO MATTER WHAT

If people said they loved you but only talk to you when they are in need of something, how would you feel.  If someone made a promise to you when their down and out but break that promise when they get on their feet, how would you feel?  If someone said they did not believe in you, but will call on you when all hell breaks loose in their lives, how would you feel?  If you were waiting for a person, you love to change and kept waiting no matter what, how would you feel.  If all the people they trusted and spent time with turned their backs on them during times of trouble, and that would be the only time they talked to you, how would  you feel?  I am not sure how I would feel, but I know the Lord still loves you.  If you have not spoke to the Lord today now is a good time.

Heavenly Father, we humble ourselves under Your mighty hand.   Forgive us for our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Let us draw near to You with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let Your Word dwell in us richly. Fill us with the knowledge of Your will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding  that we may live and conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of You, fully pleasing You, and being fruitful in every good work. And, by being renewed in the spirit of our minds that we put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering: bearing with and forgiving one another.  So we dwell together in the unity of the faith, recognizing those who labor among us, esteeming them highly in love for their work's sake.  I pray we all speak the same thing, with no divisions among us, standing fast in one spirit, striving together for the faith.   Father, we know we fall short of Your mercy grace and favor, but we are trying to do better.  Lord, help us lay our sinful nature to rest and draw us near to Thee.  We thank You for the forgiveness of our sins past, present, and future, as well as life health and strength.  In Jesus wonderful name, Amen.

IF TWO OF US AGREE ON ANYTHING IT WILL BE DONE

When we pray, it open communication with the Father, and because He is personal, all people can offer prayer to Him.  However, people that do not trust Christ for their salvation are alienated from God.  So they do not meet the condition to have an active prayer life.  Although God may hear their prayers, he may or may not act on them.  But other believers can intervene in prayer for a non-believer and God will answer on behalf of the believer that is interceding in prayer for the non-believer.  Intercessory prayer is why most of us are still here, because of the prayers of our parents and grandparents on our behalf.  Some of the most powerful prayers are unity prayers if we could get all the people that comment on a spiritual post on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram, to pray together, what will happen.  We use to have unity pray in schools, and maybe that is why there were no school shootings in those times.  I suggest we come together in prayer to stop our children from killing each other.   And pray that the people will elect a President to work for God to save this country and all the people.

Matthew 18:20 for where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”Matthew 18:19 again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.


Father, you said when two are more come together in prayer You are among us.  Lord, You said if two of us agree on earth about anything we ask You, it will be done.  So Lord encourages us to pray with and for each other in one accord.  Father help us understand that our prayers are a shield to our souls, a sacrifice to You, and a scourge to Satan.  Our prayers and Your mercy work together while our prayers ascend to You, Your mercy descends to us.  Father teach us that we are more powerful on our knees together than standing alone.  Father, we understand that no matter how we prayer, You will answer in Your time and in Your way.  So please give us patient to wait on You, and be steadfast.  Father, we pray that our children stop the senseless killing of each other.  Lord, we pray for a President that will work for You to save this country, and treat all people equally in Jesus name, Amen

LET US PRAY IN ONE ACCORD

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for our families and friends that You have put in our lives.  They are Your precious jewels You have entrusted to us.  Lord, our families and friends, mean so much to us.  Father, we are all fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image.  But, Lord we are not all Christ-like and even the strong Christians sometimes get weak.  So we lift up our hearts and minds to You, and we ask that You give us Your strength and courage to walk in Your will.  The devil is trying to attack our families, friends, and country through hate, prejudice, injustice, and envy.  Lord help us stand against this attack on our lives.  We lift our shields of faith, and we remember all the past victories of battles we have endured.  We know that You can take the sadness and hurt away that we are dealing with in this country and our world.  Lord help this country chose the right President that will work for You and make America a country all Nations will respect and all people will be treated equally.  In Jesus name, we pray Amen

PLEASE LORD SAVE US FROM DOUBT

Lord, You are always righteous, but sometimes we have doubt about Your justice.  Why does the way of the wicked prosper?  How could people that harbor so much hate, and evil in their hearts live at ease?  You created every one of us, and we are of one race, so why do we not bear the same fruit?  Lord, You are always on their lips, but so far from their hearts, how long will they continue destroying Your people. Father, sometimes we wonder if You see what is happening.

Matthew 13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. "Our lack of faith hinders our blessings."  Romans 11:20 They were broken off  because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.  But, do not be arrogant, be afraid.

Father, we understand through Your words how Your family and followers betrayed You, even those who knew and saw Your powers had doubt.  Forgive us, Lord, for we are weak and sometimes we have no endurance. So, Father, for this reason, some of us have abandon You.  But, Father, we come asking for courage, so we will not have doubt and fear.  Lord, give us hope for a brighter future; and fill us with the Holy Spirit, to help us endure all things.  Lord, sanctify Your people; so we will be separated from the world, and consecrated to the worship and service of  You and others.   Lord, we put no other God before You; please rescues us from the hands of the enemy, and save us from destructions.  Father, put a new song in our hearts; so we can make a joyful noise across this land, as we come together on one accord.  Father, give us Your strength to stand up for what is right; and no longer hide behind closed doors.  Lord, we request humbly that You deliver us from this agony, affliction, and distress; please strengthen our faith and help us with our unbelief, in the mighty name of Jesus Amen.

JESUS SAID LOVE OUR HATERS

Stop worrying about Your haters; Jesus had some real haters.  Judas betrayed Him for thirty pieces of silver; the Pharisees lied on Him knowing He was innocent.  Even His friend Peter denied Him, not once, but three times with an attitude.  Not to mention the Chief priests and the elders took counsel against Jesus to put Him in jail, knowing He did nothing wrong.  Then they delivered Him to Pontius Pilate, who was the governor.  The Governor wanted to release Him because of the dreams His wife suffered, but the people He fed, healed, and saved chose a murderer named Barabbas instead.  Then the soldiers stripped Him and put Him in a scarlet robe, and put a crown of thorns on His head.  They spit on Him and mocked Him, then stripped and beat Him.  Then they nailed Him to an old rugged cross and crucified Him.  Now with that being said do you care about your haters, if so get over it, Jesus did?


Father, You told us to love our enemy and pray for those who persecute us, but we cannot do this with our will, we need Your strength. Lord, we want to be a part of Your family in heaven so please help us obey Your command.  Father, it is easy to love those we like, but to be rewarded we must learn how to love our haters as well.  Lord, help us greet all with kindness and not just our families and friends.  Lord, we are not perfect, but we want to be submissive in Jesus divine name Amen

THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

Love:    Christians’ must love everyone no matter what if they believe in the word of God
Joy:    Count it all joy, my people, when we face trials, the testing of our faith develop perseverance
Peace:    We will have perfect peace through our connection with God, peace beyond our understanding
Patience:  God is not a microwave oven we cannot put in a prayer tonight and expect an answer tomorrow.  God work on His time and in His will, we must learn how to wait on the Lord.
Kindness:  It does not cost us anything to be kind, in fact being kind to others brings you joy to our hearts
Goodness:  There is goodness in all people, the Word tells us "For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude."
Faithfulness:  If we are faithful and obey the word of God, there is nothing He would not do for us.
Gentleness:  The way to defuse any situation is by being gentle, and gentleness is not a sign of weakness it is a show of strength.
Self-Control:  Our ability to control our emotions and desires can be difficult without Christ-like character.   We must study the Word to help us develop our Fruit of the Spirit this is how we control our behavior.

If we loved the LORD, as much as a mustard seed, everything else in our lives would fall into place.  There would be no injustice, hate, envy, or jealousy in this world.

Lord, we come to You with open hearts asking You to fill those that seek You with Your love.  Father, You said, “a man's heart devises his way: but You directed his steps.”  Father, we thank You for free will, but Lord we only have the ability to choose from our sinful nature, so please direct our steps.  Father, we stand at the door, and knock, and we hear Your voice, please open our hearts and come to us, so we can walk in the Spirit, and not fulfill the lust of our flesh.  Lord, we confess with our mouth and believe that Jesus was raised from the dead, to save us. So Father, help us develop our Fruit of the Spirit so we can be good men and women and become more Christ-like and delighted in Your ways.  Lord, we come to You with the faith of a mustard seed, that You will answer our prayers, in Jesus mighty name Amen

WE ARE NOT TO JUDGE OTHER

John 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."  How can we pass moral or righteous judgment when we cannot see a person's, heart?  John 8:3-11 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.”Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.  We are all sinners, but because our sins do not show some of us feel we can judge others.  A sin is a sin whether great or small; we are judged the same.  So unless you are total without sin, do not judge others, beside God does not need our help with judgment.


Father, help us not to judge others so that we will not be judged, because, in the way we judge, we will be judged; and by our standard of measure, it will be measured to us. Lord, teach us not to look at the sins of our brother's and sister's but focus on our sins.  Father, help us put our flesh to rest, by studying Your Word daily.  Lord, teach us how, and what to pray for, so we may draw near to You.  Lord, help us see others as You see them, not with our eyes, but through our hearts, in Jesus name we pray Amen.

Prayer For The Least

If Jesus were still in the flesh, He would be hanging out with sinners, or what many of us consider low life. We would find Him in the prisons, bars, drug dens, or hanging on the corner with the prostitutes, the homeless, and drunks.  Not sitting in the Church with us, He would be seeking lost souls to save. The Word tells us “that “it is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Mark 2:17).   (Hebrew 13:2) Says “Do not neglect to show hospitality to anyone, for some have entertained angels without knowing it.  Remember, whatever we do for the least of our brothers and sisters, we do for Christ, thus said the Lord.


Lord, You have lived in the flesh and understand our struggles, especially those that live on the streets and those who are falsely incarcerated, because You were falsely in poisoned as well.  Lord, serve justice for those who have been wronged and release them. Lord, but those who have sinned against others, let them experience genuine remorse for the harm they have caused to their victims and seek to make amends.  Lord help us deal with all people respectfully no matter what their situation is because anyone can fall on hard times.  Lord help those in lock-up respect the authority of the prison staff and give us strength to control our tempers when dealing with law enforcement.   Lord, I pray that all prisoners, prostitutes, homeless, alcoholics, and drug dealer grow in godly attributes and be committed to keeping in touch with their families.  Lord surround the least of Your people with Spiritual Soldiers to support and encourage them so others cannot prey on their weakness.  Father give the least of them protection and assist them in staying away from bad associations that will lead them astray. Lord take their desire for alcohol, drugs, the love of money and other types of contraband or crimes that caused them to fall.  Father, keep the young and the weak safe from sexual assault and other forms of victimization on the streets and in prison.  Lord, give them wisdom and knowledge to take advantage of programs to enhance their educational and vocational skills and seek the resources they need in prison and society to help better themselves.  In Jesus name hear our prayer Amen

The Word Speaks To Each Of Us Differently

It is not for us to judge anyone understanding of the scripture, what you comprehend, and what another person understands may vary.  Who are we to say our interpretation of scripture is right, and someone else understanding is wrong.   We all interpret what we read differently and if what we study leaves our spirit nourished, strengthen, and joyful we have the correct understanding.  So do not assume you are always right, and everybody else is wrong.   The Word is a living organism and as all organism change so will the understanding of God’s word. Our knowledge of the Word will also depend on the mindset we are in when we study.   Now do not be confused, the Word does not change, our interpretation of the word changes according to our needs.


Father, give us the wisdom of Your Word, so we may nourish our spirits and mature into the people You designed us to be.  Give us Your knowledge and the courage to share Your word with those in need of You. We thank You for inspiring all scripture by the Holy Spirit so that we will be equipped for every good work.  Help us understand that what we receive from Your word, is for the uplifting of Your kingdom, our souls, and to guide others to You.  Lord, let us not argue with those who feel they are scholars of Your word but give us the patience to listen without judgment.    Thank You, Father, for making Yourself known to us, showing us the way of salvation through faith in Your Son. Father continue teaching us, so that we may be ready to serve You, for the glory of Your Kingdom and our Lord Jesus Christ Amen

LET'S PRAY FOR OUR VETERANS

Lord, we are petitioning You for the future of our country.  Father, bless our Soldiers on the battlefield and those that have been wounded and killed for our freedom; and to allow all people justice and equal rights, to work together in unity and harmony; to build up Your Kingdom and Your people.  Lord, let us not treat our Veterans like second class citizens; but honor them as the heroes they are, let not one person that has served this Country, for our freedom be homeless.  Lord, we pray for justice for all individuals and for righteousness in the hearts of our Political Leaders, and those that are in positions of Authority.    Father, help us live up to our claim “The Land Of The Free” as we learn to live in harmony, with each other.  Lord, help all Christians, understand that we do not harbor HATE in our hearts.  Father, help us realize that we are destroying our country with prejudice, injustice, and hate, and now we are dealing with terrorism.  Father, give the leaders of America wisdom that this country must practice what WE preach to other nations, or we will lose the little respect America still has.  Lord, we come to You humble and submissive asking You to give all Soldiers on the battlefield protection; and bless the families that have lost their loved one, Lord, we are so grateful for their service.  Lord, let us do all we can do for our VETERANS because they sacrificed their time, lives, and families for us, In Jesus name, Amen


GOD CAN AND WILL RELIEVE STRESS

Everyone has anxiety and fear at some point; there are no exceptions.  But several teachings in the New Testament of Jesus were not to worry, to have no fear and not to be anxious.  Fear (stress) is mentioned 365 times in the Bible a verse for every day of the year.

Matt. 6:25-27 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  Matt 11:28-30 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”


Heavenly Father, please grant us peace of mind and calm our troubled hearts. Our souls are like a turbulent sea, and we can't seem to find our balance, so we stumble and fall regularly. Give us the strength and clarity of mind to find our purpose and help us walk the path you've laid out for us. We trust Your WORD God, and know that You will RELIEVE this stress, Just as the sun rises and change dark of night into day, this fear too shall pass. Please bring us RELIEF through our faith in Your word. In Your name, we pray, Amen

WAIT ON THE LORD

The Bible is our instructions on how to live a righteous life, and our relief in times of troubles. Do not turn to people that cannot help you turn to Jesus because He will never forsake us.  Jesus, tells us to lean on Him in times of adversity through prayer, His Word, and patience.  We must slow down, never act quickly to the situation; pray on it while you're in the middle of the storm, as well as after and believe in His promise.  Jesus works on our behalf as soon as we call on Him, we don't see it because we are looking in the flesh and He works by the Spirit.  Never be impatient with Jesus time, because His time is right on time.  With every blessing comes a lesson, a Spiritual awakening, a revelation of forgiveness, peace, joy, happiness, love, faith, self-control, and patience.  What has your faith blessed you with, open your heart and mind to the Word, be blessed.

Deuteronomy 31:8 – The Lord goes before us and will be with us; He will never leave us nor forsake us. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. 2 Samuel 22:18-22 (18) He delivered us from our strong enemy, and from them that hated us: for they were too strong for us. (19) They prevented us on the day of our calamity: (20) He brought us forth also into a large place: He delivered us because He delighted in us. (21) The Lord rewards us according to our righteousness: according to the cleanness of our hands hath He recompensed us. (22) For we have kept the ways of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from our God. 2 Samuel 22:29 – You are our lamp O Lord; the Lord turns our darkness into light. Psalms 9:9 – The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalm 27:14 – Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen our heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Father, thank You for patience, thank You for forgiveness, thank You for wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives.  Thank You, for grace, for peace and grace through our relationship with You.  Thank You, for being our Savior and paying a penalty we could not pay.  Thank You, for discernment so we will not be fooled by false prophets.  Father, give us ears that hear the Word, so it will fill our hearts and cleanse Your temple.  Lord, examine us daily and remove all that is not of You, and release us from any generational curses; so You will dwell in us.  Jesus, Jesus, fill us with compassion, kindness, gentleness, and love; so we can live in harmony and peace with each other.  Father, bless our government, give them a heart for the people and remove everything in power that is working against Your will.  Jesus, help us be patient like Noah so we will wait on You, in Jesus name, Amen

JESUS LOVE CONQUERS ALL

No one has a greater love than that which he or she would willingly die for their friend.  Yes, most of us will die for our children, parents, or siblings, but will we die for a friend?  Jesus felt the few that did obey His Father commandments gave Him the love and courage to save us all, that one day we will repent and turn away from our sins.  But, we still crucify Him daily through our hate, pride, and all other sins.

John 3:16  “God so loved the world, that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” Mark 12:30-31 “And you shall love the Lord Your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” John 14:15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

Father, we can love our neighbor, but most of us hate our enemy, Lord we cannot love our enemy through our will.  Please give us Your strength and Spirit to carry out Your commandments.  Lord, we have read Your Word and understand that we must pray for those who persecute us so we may be children of our Father in heaven.   Jesus, teach us how to pray for those who have persecuted us, let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable to You.  Lord, You said love covers a multitude of sins, help us love each other as You love us, so we may not sin against one another.  Father, help us acknowledge You and understand, we are all sinners and let us not cast judgment on others for their sins.  Lord, we know Jesus died on the cross and the love displayed in His action covers all of our sins.  Please give us Your courage and wisdom, to stand on Your word and the knowledge to implement Your Word into our daily lives.  Father, help us acknowledge You in all we do, strength our prayer life, our studies, our worship, and praise.  Jesus, search our Souls and remove all that is not of You, Lord, remove all generation curses and do not reject us.  Jesus, thank You, for loving us when we did not love ourselves; thank You, for guidance, and protection from our enemies, and the darkness of this world, in Jesus name we pray Amen.

CHRISTIANS DO NOT HATE

Those who believe in Jesus Christ receive forgiveness for their sins and gain new life in the Holy Spirit.  The Bible is full of scriptures on the topic of love.  God’s love for us is a perfect example of how His people should love each other.   “God so loved the world that He gave His ONLY Son to redeem us. Romans 5:8 God shows his love for us while we were still sinners, THIS IS WHY WE MUST LOVE people for who they are, where they are, and no matter what color their skin or how they choose to live.  If we have been crucified with Christ,  it is no longer us who live, but Christ who lives in us. So the life we now live in the flesh we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself to save us.  So to all the so-called Christians that hate others, you are not saved, there is NO GOD in you.  Jesus understands that we may have disagreements and argue sometimes, but we must apologize to each other and forgive.  Now Jesus did not say we have to be in the company of those WHO wronged us, but we must forgive them. Ephesians 4:2-3 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Lord, teach us how to LOVE as You love us, give us Your courage and strength to love those who have wronged us.  Father, show us how to LOVE our neighbor as we love ourselves, and give us brotherly love for all mankind.  Lord, we understand that if we hate anyone for any reason, Your Spirit is not in us; because Your love is patient and kind; it does not envy or boast.  Lord, help us not to be arrogant, rude, irritable, or resentful towards each other but be forgiving of others as Jesus forgives us.  Jesus, persecute those who kill because of hate, jealousy, and break those down that think too highly of themselves.  Father, give us the wisdom and knowledge of Your Word so we can be filled with the Holy Spirit, which will help us obey You, love, forgive, and bear all things.  Though You Lord, and Your Love we will believe, hope for, and endure all things, and thank You, Jesus, for justice for my son and my grandchildren, in the name of Jesus we pray Amen

WE MUST WATER GOD SEED DAILY

Luke 9:11  And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

As we study the Word of God, we will be drawn to follow Him, and He will always receive us right where we are, no matter the situation.  And as we draw near to Him, the Word will begin to instruct us on how to live a righteous life.  One by one God will heal us of our sinful ways and addictions IF we trust and believe in His Word.  The Word will fill our hearts and minds, and as we are filled with the new the old will be released from us, as the Holy Spirit takes over our bodies.  God understands how hard it is for us to believe in the unseen, but He is who He says, and He will keep His promise.


Lord, You know all young Christians and some old struggle with their faith in You, so help them receive Your words so they may understand and trust You.  Teach them that faith comes by hearing and hearing by Your word.  Lord, they are clueless of who You are and what You are, so open their hearts and fill it with the Holy Spirit.  Father allow them to understand to grow they must nourish Your seed planted in their hearts daily with Your word.  Lord give us Your strength and courage to become doers of Your Word and not just hearers, so we will not be deceived.  Lord, help us understand that IF we fail to heed to what we are reading than our faith grows stagnant.  Lord allow us to know the Word and Your grace You give to everyone is what we use to build our trust in You.  Lord, please hear our prayer in Jesus name Amen
