JESUS Help Us

Lord, times are getting harder, and people lose faith in these troubled times. Father, this world is filled with unspeakable sin and evil; Lord, we reach out to You; please help us. Although Lord, we understand that Your Word will come to pass, Lord, prepare us for that day and keep us at peace while we wait. Father, right now, we feel our burdens are too significant; please help us lay our burdens at the altar and turn away in the name of Jesus. Lord, we want to serve You, so we ask You to strengthen our faith, help us with our unbelief, and train us on how to go. God, teach us what to do to walk into our destiny and eternity so we may sit at Your feet. It is Your name; we pray.

Amen

IT IS POSSIBLE

NEVER

DOUBT

THE

POWER

OF

GOD

GOD CAN USE SOMETHING AS SMALL AS A LOCUST TO CHANGE THE MIND OF OUR ENEMY.

Exodus 10:4'For if you refuse to let My people go, behold, I will bring locusts into your territory tomorrow.

 WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH MAN IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD

Father, right now we lay our troubles at the altar; and we put on the armor of our Lord, right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, today we will help someone in need, give something to the poor (clothes, shoes, we all have something), and just be humble. Lord, we thank You for another day to get it right with You.  Lord, we ask that You forgive us for losing a generation of Your children; by not teaching them the way to go. Lord, we come to You, asking You to save the era we lost to this world. Father, we have drifted so far from You; we cannot feel Your presence, and You do not hear us. Lord, You have the power to make things just and right; Lord, we need Your Spirit to intervene with all that's happening in this wicked and dark place. Father, please, do not let our prayers fall on deaf ears. Lord, forgive us for falling short in our prayer life, study, and praise; please give us a strong desire for the Word. So we can grow into Your people, You created us to be. Lord, we know all things are possible with You, Father, remove any demonic Spirits that have been spoken over our family, friends, and ourselves; and free us from our enemies. Father, right now, we are standing on Your Word, without doubt, and fear, as we patiently wait for Your directions and deliverance. In Jesus' name, Amen.

FEAR AND DOUBT

2 Timothy 1:7, for God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind.

We all have dealt with fear and doubt and have been crippled by this powerful emotion. Fear will push or drive us in the wrong direction; fear will alter our breathing, destroy our health, and keep us from making the right decisions. Fighting our fears and doubts can become overwhelming if we combat this battle alone. We have to rely on God's courage to fight off our doubts and fears. Life problems and stress elevate our fears; this causes us to doubt God's Word and powers. We must rely on God's strength and courage to Shelter us against the influence of the FLESH, which controls our fears and doubts.

Father, we cry out to You, asking for freedom from our fears and doubts. Lord, please do not allow our fears to hold us back from our purpose. Lord, give us Your courage to combat the uncertainty that keeps us in bondage and hinders our blessings. Lord, reminds us often that fear is not to be our path; give us Your strength to stand against our fears and doubts as we walk through this Vally of death. Lord, we understand that fear and doubt are tools the enemy uses to keep us from stepping into Your plans for us. So, we decree and declare that we will stand on Your word, that "You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." In Jesus name, we claim it

 Amen

PLEAD THE BLOOD

Father, we plead the Blood over all these senseless killings, by terrorism, law enforcement, and each other.  Lord, You give believers  the authority to trample over the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt us.  Lord, we intervene and claim that power over our young people, right now in the name of Jesus, help us save them.  Father, there is no help from man, so we come to You on bending knees crying for help. “Save our young people,  save our country, save our lives”.  Lord, we say a special prayer for all who have lost their loved one to violence, war, and diseases and sickness.  Father, we ask that You give them rest and peace of mind, knowing that their loved one is sitting at Your feet.  Lord, give our Political and Spiritual Leaders Your wisdom, knowledge, compassion and love for the people.  Help them to see that we are better together; working as a unit on one accord, to save the future; our children and this world.  Lord, we ask that You continue to work with law enforcement, give them compassion, understanding, and love for all they come in contact with and keep Your hedge of  protection around them.  Father, continue working in and through us, to  teach, guide and protect our children.  Lord, help us to become communities and neighborhoods that work as a village, and raise our children as we were instructed to do “by Your Word”.  Lord, we plead the Blood of Jesus over our children and our children's children, in Jesus name we pray Amen

HELP SOMEONE

Lord, we cannot see each other's hearts or the challenges each of us faces, so Father, teach us how to be more caring of others' needs.  Lord help us lighten the burdens of others, let us be an instrument of Your love where there is hate, Lord let us bring inspiration and hope to those in despair.  Father, let us be the beacon of light that leads the lost to You, in Jesus' name Amen.

Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

BE THANKFUL

Lord
I
Say
Thank
You
I Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Psalms  136:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

Lord, we are so thankful for the hedge of protection; You have surrounded us, our children, and our children's children.   Lord, we thank You for life, health, and strength; and Your sacrifice on Calvary gives us Salvation. Father, thank You for letting the peace of Christ rule in our hearts and allowing us to be members of Your family. Lord, it is by grace that we are saved, through our faith; and this did not come from ourselves, it is a gift from You, and we are so thankful.    in Jesus' name, we prayer

RIGHTEOUS THOUGHTS

When

We

Think

Righteous

Thoughts

We

Do

Righteous

Things.

We all struggle with our sinful thoughts, and sometimes we have no control over what enters our minds.  However, we can take control of our thoughts through the Word of God; the Word helps us not to conform to the pattern of the world by renewing our minds. Then we can test and approve how we think.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.

 So, Lord, we ask for You to let the thoughts of our mind be righteous and acceptable in Your sight; because the opinions of the righteous are just, But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. Father, let the thoughts of our minds be, Your Word as we write them in our hearts through studying and the development of our Fruit.  Father, let not our thoughts be led by other people viewpoints, but by the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name

Amen

CHILDLIKE FAITH

It still amazes me when little children show us how resourceful they can be because they have no fear.  They don't need a reason or explanations of who, what, or why; they just follow and explore.  We believe in God because the seed is planted at birth.  Our understanding of God and how our character develops depends on how we nourish our hearts and minds. When we feed our minds with the Word of God, it fills our hearts with the Spirit.  This will help give us guidance and protection as we walk through this Vally of Death.  To walk with Christ, we need childlike faith, the kind of faith that does not seek an explanation.

 

Matthew 18 Jesus called a little child to Him and put the child among them.  Then He said,  I tell you, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Lord, give us childlike faith so we can bear the cross we must carry.  Lord, help us understand that there is no crown without the cross, and without the crown of thorns, there is no glory. So, let us not question our faith or wonder if what we believe is true, so help us serve our purpose and stand on Your Word.  Father, You said to ask, and we shall receive, seek, and we shall find, knock, and You will open the door. Please strengthen our faith and help us with our unbeliefs, so we will follow You without fear or doubt. Lord, thank You for forgiveness and teaching us how to forgive and set us free. Lord, let Your thoughts be our thoughts to give us blinding faith that does not require logic or reason.  In Jesus' name Amen.

Father, we understand that a believer's walk is full of ups and downs, joy and pain; so in the time of adversities let us not become weary of doing good.

PRAY FOR HOPE

Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We pray that the root of hope fills all people with joy, peace, happiness, and love through their faith in Christ. Father, you said those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament.  Lord, we ask that You let this light shine on our children and our children's children; give them hope so You may turn our children to righteousness and save them from the darkness of this world.  Father, sometimes we grow weary of doing good, give us endurance to weather-the-storm; strengthen our faith and help us with our unbeliefs.  Lord, prune our Fruit daily through Your Word; so we may mature into the Believers, You created us to be.  Father, right now, someone reading this is in pain; give them comfort, someone is sick, Lord, heal them according to Your will.  Lord, someone's marriage is falling apart; fix it, Lord, according to Your will. Father, someone has problems at work or needs work; Lord, intervene on their behalf and give them peace. Father, we face many day-to-day struggles; order our step through this valley and help us walk in Your will. Lord, we ask for wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives and our children's lives. Father, we pray a special blessing for those who have lost their loved ones to gun violence.  Lord, please help us stop the senseless killings of our children and our children's children; remove every generational curse from them in the name of Jesus. Father, touch the hearts of everyone who comes into contact with our children and fill them with compassion, kindness, and love. Father, forgive us for our sins, and give us Your strength, understanding, and love; so we can forgive others; in the name of Jesus, we pray.


Amen

CARING FOR OTHERS

YOUR BLESSINGS ARE NOT TO

INCREASE YOU THEY ARE

 GIVEN TO YOU

SO YOU WILL

INCREASE

OTHERS
For I was hungry and you fed Me.  I was thirsty and you give Me a drink.  I was a stranger and you invited Me into your home. I was naked and you gave Me clothing.  I was sick and you cared for Me.  I was in prison and you visited Me.  I tell you the truth when we refuse to help our brothers and sisters we refuse to help Him.

Father, give us a kind and gentle heart so we may help those who are less fortunate. Lord, let us not look down on them, but, serve them with respect, love, and joy.  Lord, we may be, the only help those in need have; let them see You through our compassion.  Father, Your Word tells us "whatever we do for the least of our brothers and sisters, we do for You.  Lord, teach us how to bless others as You have blessed us, and by doing so we will reap the rewards of Your promise. Thank You, for forgiveness and for giving us the strength to forgive others.  Father, thank You, for allowing us with our sinful nature, to work through You, sharing Your joy and peace with others.  Lord, give us eyes to helps us see the needs of others and discernment, so we will have the ability to judge well.  Thank You, for keeping us through the night, so we wake to give You all the honor and glory, in Jesus name, Amen

SPEAK VICTORY OVER YOUR LIFE

 Deuteronomy.20:4 For the Lord, your God goes with you to fight your battles, and He will give you victory.

 Believers can have victory over sins, through their faith in Christ.  Speak victory into your life through the Holy Spirit over every circumstance.  If you are buying a house and you're having a problem closing the contract, say Father thank You in advance for the closing of this loan, it is finished.  The tongue is the smallest organ in our body, but, holds the most power. However, you must believe God will answer your prayers, and it will be done.

Lord, when we see destruction do not be far from us;  Lord, rise to our defense, to our cause, our God, and our Lord.  Lord, keep us in Your righteousness and do not let our enemy rejoice over us;  do not let them say in their hearts, “Aha! Just what we wanted.”  Do not let the darkness swallow us up, and protect us when we make the wrong choice!  Father, let those who rejoice at our misfortune be disgraced and humiliated; let those who exalt themselves over us be clothed with compassion, kindness, gentleness, and love.  Lord, right now we release every battle into Your hands, and we claim victory over it all, In Jesus name Amen

SAVE OUR CHILDREN

Deut. 11:19-21 you shall teach the word to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way when you lie down, and when you rise.  You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and the gate, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers, as the days of the heavens above the earth.


Why are our children so lost and violent, because they do not know the Lord?  Parent's we are responsible for teaching our children about the Lord.  As a child, I Remember my mother and grandmother teaching us about the Lord, most time they would use His name when they were trying to redirect our paths.  We were also taught about the Lord in our schools; we were taught to pray, before eating and before bed.  I was a Sunday school teacher for four years, and to see so many children raised in Christians homes, but cannot pray is unacceptable.  We have failed the next generation as parents, by not teaching our children about their heavenly Father.


Lord help us train our children in the way they should go, so when they are old, they will not depart from You.  Lord help us not to provoke our children, so they do not become discouraged.  Father teach us how to discipline them, and they will give us rest.  Lord keep the hedge of protection around them and keep our children in Your will.  Amen

COME TO ME ALL WHO ARE WEARY

Galatians 6:9  let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up.  2 Chr. But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.”

Lord, direct our thoughts, words, and actions, cleanse us in the immaculate Blood of the Lamb, and fill our hearts with the Holy Spirit.  Mold us daily into the likeness of Thy Son Jesus Christ and do not let us grow weary of doing good.  In Jesus name

Amen

LORD, HELP US DISMANTLE RACISM

1 Corinthians 1:10 10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

Lord, let Your will be our choice; help us to keep our focus on You as You transform us into holy people. Guard our minds against anxious thoughts, and let You be the center of our desires. Father, our country is in turmoil; injustice and hate are destroying what was built on Your Word and by Your people. Lord, we are praying for unity and peace; because we are all of one blood and one race, regardless of skin color, our connection is the Spirit. Father, we all pay taxes; we are all human beings, and everyone's blood runs red. So, Lord, help us dismantle racism and injustice; Father, we are aware that we struggle not merely against flesh and blood but against those institutions of hate and a system of injustice that keep racism alive. Lord, we are all the same in Your sight; none is inferior or superior to the other. Father, let not religion that is man-made separate us or those who harbor hate in their hearts. Lord, give us Your wisdom and knowledge to rid ourselves of racial stereotypes that oppress some people unjustly; while providing entitlement to others. Father, help us become one nation under God and embrace the hopes and fears of all people in this world, You created. Lord, heal us of envy, jealousy, and hate; so we can become one with You, in Jesus' mighty name. Lord, touch the hearts of those who come in contact with our children with gentleness and kindness and let them not feel threatened by their skin colors; so they will treat our children with respect, and our children will, in return, give consideration. Lord, please heal us, and help us find the path of righteousness and let the wicked reap what they sow, in Jesus' name, Amen
