I SERVE THE BIBLICAL JESUS

If we think that we can continue to live in sin and be saved think again. I serve the Biblical Jesus.

Lord thank You for saving me from my sins.  Father, I repent and turn away from my old ways, so fill me with the Holy Spirit that will make me submissive to the Word.  Lord, thank You for restoring me to the Father and the daily renewing of my heart.  Thank You, for another year on this earth, continue working in and through me to serve Your purpose.  In Jesus name Amen 

TEACH OUR CHILDREN IN THE WAY TO GO

The Lord's Prayer is the model of prayer that Jesus taught us, as recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke   Parents we need to teach our children how to pray, it’s our responsibility as a parent to God and our children.

Parent's Responsibility
Exodus 20:12
In God's eyes—and in a small child's—a parent stands in the place of God Himself. In the physical sense, parents are the child's creator, provider, lawgiver, teacher, and protector—and sometimes even savior. A child's response to this relationship will greatly determine his later response to larger relationships in society. And it is ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN to affect his relationship with God. Thus, since parents represent God, it becomes their obligation to live lives worthy of that honor. Ultimately, the responsibility for keeping this commandment falls on the child, but it begins with the parents through child training and example. If parents neither provide the correct example nor teach the correct way, they can hardly expect their children to honor them.

 Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever. Amen

MY PEOPLE MEANS ALL BELIEVERS

James 4:1-6 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder.

We call ourselves Christians, yet we are divided within  our own religion.  We hate each other for petty reasons, one must ask "are we really His people" are we serving His purpose

Envy, pride, hate, and selfish ambition produces disorder,  division, and causes quarreling among us.  The fighting among believers which James is addressing is outrageous and evil. Yet we have seen  it in our Church, schools, and our Nation. Where is God's people, why are we silent

 God, you said if all MY people come together there will be peace" All believers "His People" not religious People "His People" not all white, Italians, Puerto Rican, people "His People" not all Catholics, Baptist, Muslim "His People" Because "His People" are not Racist "His People" has His character Especially love. Love removes every fleshy thing that is not Good and not of You.  Lord IF WE COULD GET THE FIRST TWO Commandments right we could ALL WALK TOGETHER. It's just that SIMPLY. Where ever there's a Spiritual Gathering where ALL people are welcomed ''there  You will be" because You said ALL PEOPLE.  So, Father bring all Your people together on one accord and help us stay in Spirit, so we can make a positive change in this dark world, and stop the fighting In Jesus name, Amen

DO NOT LET LIFE AFFLICTIONS TAKE RESIDENCE IN YOUR MIND

Individuals can be afflicted for a number of reasons:
1. Affliction can be a direct consequence of sin (Galatians 6:8; Proverbs 11:18).
2. Affliction can be a judgment from God (Ezekiel 36:18–19; 39:24; Romans 1:18–32; 2:6; 6:23).
3. Affliction can purify us and help us develop endurance (Daniel 12:10; James 1:3; 1 Peter 4:12–13).
4. Affliction can occur for God’s divine purposes (Job 2:7; Isaiah 53:7; Psalm 119:75).
5. Affliction is part of living in a fallen world (Psalm 25:16; 1 Peter 1:6; John 16:33).
6. Affliction can be the result of persecution for Jesus’ sake (2 Timothy 3:11–12; Psalm 69:6–7; 1 John 3:13).
7. Affliction can be the result of a direct attack from Satan (Luke 22:31; Ephesians 6:12; 1 Peter 5:8).

But we must stop claiming life afflictions into our lives: Lord, we denounce high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, addictions, unemployment, homelessness, cancer, fear, and doubt.  we are being released from all our affliction through the blood.  We speak victory into our lives, our children lives, our families lives, and our friends' lives, we are the head and not the tails; we are Kings and Queens, even in spite of the oppressor.  ''When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.''

Lord, we know sometimes afflictions are meant to test our character or faith.  Father, we thank You for the affliction that comes with discipline or a form of divine teachings, please help us receive what it is You want us to learn.  Father, we understand affliction is part of living in this world and we will all suffer heartaches, injuries, disappointments, rejection, and sickness. We must remember Paul’s encouragement in 2 Corinthians 4:16–17: “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. in Jesus name, Amen

Thank YOU for helping us carry our cross

RELIGION IS SEPARATION OF GOD'S PEOPLE

Religion is to separate God's people because the Devil and man know if God's people came together we would be an unstoppable force.  Satan knows the division of people is the strongest tool he has in this world.

Matthew 23:8 “Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one teacher, and all of you are equal as brothers and sisters. 9 And don’t address anyone here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is your Father. 10 And don’t let anyone call you ‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you must be a servant. 12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.  Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses. 3 So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach. 4 They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.

Jesus did not teach His Disciples what the Pharisees was teaching the people, because He criticized many of their beliefs.  He tells us to obey the teachings of our Spiritual Leaders whenever they accurately interpret the Scripture.  Jesus also was against the use of honorific titles that encourage a sense of superiority.  Because He wanted the people to worship God not man, like a lot of people do; they worship their Pastors, more than they worship God.  Now we have all these different religions and beliefs because man has implied their beliefs about who we should follow.

Father, I am not sure where religion comes from, but I am a believer and I know You exist, so Lord, we pray that we all only receive that which is of You.    Father, we practice many beliefs and religions, but one thing for sure; even those we follow are looking for You.  So, we pray that when we study, search our heart and mind and remove all that is not of You, so Your Word will transform us into the people You created.  Father, fill us with Your Spirit so You can use us to reach others.  Father, teach us how to study Your Word and help us understand Your parables; so we may receive Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our lives.  Father, give us discernment when we are learning and hearing Your Word, so we can determine what is good and of You.  Father, teach us how and what to pray for, let the Spirit intercede on our behalf when we know not what to say, in Jesus name, Amen

STOP TRYING TO PLEASE PEOPLE

Colossians 3:23  Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people

It is very stressful trying to please people or ourselves because normally we have no idea what really pleases us or anyone else.  So, wouldn' it be easier to please God when we deal with our Lord we are not juggling a million different things trying to please those around us, instead, we have one single purpose, to please God so we don't become overly involved in various causes religions and lose focus of our perspective.

Father, help us be aware of practicing righteousness before other people in order to receive their approval because there is no reward for people pleasing.  Father, let us not get caught up in all the different practices and beliefs of man that keeps us separated. Because no matter who we follow they all lead us to one God.  So, help us stay focused on pleasing You and do not be conformed to this world; but be transformed by the renewal of our minds, that by testing us may discern what is Your will, so we will receive what is good and acceptable.  Lord, we are servants of God and we count it all joy, and when we meet trials of various kinds, we know that the testing of our faith produces steadfastness, that makes us perfectly complete, lacking in nothing.  In Jesus name, Amen

LET'S PRAY FOR EACH OTHER

Romans 8:26-27  Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought too, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And He who searches hearts knows what is in the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Father, we thank You in advance for justice and correction in every situation we face today.  Lord, the enemy is always waiting to discredit us, please keep Your hedge of protection around us, our families, and friends.  Father, we pray for those who are caught in the fire in California, for the firefighters and the inmate firefighters of our California corrections departments. For those who are dealing the winter storms, and for those who are homeless.  Lord, we pray for those who asked us to cover them in prayer, You know them name by name and need by need, bless them according to our will.  Father, we ask You to bless the least of us all over this world and all the Leaders of the world.  Father, we pray for our children that are sold as sex slaves and our brothers and sister in Libya.  Lord, search our hearts and remove all that is not of You and replace it with the things of the Spirit so we can become more Christ-like.  So, we will be more compassionate, kind, loving, and giving to those who love us and for those that don’t, in Jesus name.  Father, we thank You for mercy, grace, and favor.  We thank You for life, health, and strength.  We, thank You, for forgiveness and the strength to forgive others.  Father, strengthen Your presence in our lives that will compel us to be submissive to You, in Jesus name, Amen

DRESS TO DEFEAT SATAN

One day a heated argument broke out between two senior managers at our company. Normally these two got along well. What caused the outburst? I didn’t have a clue! Then I happened to read a book called Dealing with the Devil and realized we may have encountered Satan at work in our business—a new thought for me! The book went on to describe the authority we have in Christ with this analogy: Suppose a person, dressed normally, is standing in a busy traffic intersection— cars coming from all directions. He waves his arms wildly trying to stop traffic, but the cars keep whizzing by. Then he makes one change. He puts on a policeman’s uniform. The results are totally different. Drivers immediately comply.

What changed " His clothing". When you “clothed yourselves with Christ” We will have the authority to deal with spiritual opposition, just as the policeman does in the flesh. So' “put on your full body armor taking authority over the unseen forces stirring up trouble around you. "To my amazement, the problem with the managers evaporated just as quickly as it had erupted, because one of them was clothed in Christ. Instead of feeding the fire one of the managers said " I am not sure what I did but I am sorry, blessings to you and walked off.  The devil was defeated as soon as he said he was sorry and back off; he did what Christ would have done, that's how we defeat the Devil.

Satan was defeated when Jesus went to the Cross, yet he continues to exert influence on the earth. What are we to do? The Bible says: “Resist him and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). In other words, put on the policeman’s uniform!

Father, help us dress ourselves each day in full body armor so we will be prepared for the Spiritual battles that await us every day.  Lord, let the Holy Spirit fill Your temple and give us guidance, correction, and protection as we walked through the valley of death.  Father, give us eyes that see the unseen and ears that hear Your direction around it, give us Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily walk, so we do not get lost.  Lord, do not let us walk in circles for forty years because of our complaining, doubts, and fears.  Search our hearts and remove all that is not of You and replace it with the things of the Spirit, that will strengthen our faith and help us with our unbeliefs so we will not waver.  Father, thank You for forgiveness and for Your strength and courage to forgive.  Thank You, for removing the obstacles that use to make us stumble and fall and give us self-control so we do not turn back.  Father, let us not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from You, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Lord, let us only follow the spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. Father, this world is full of antichrist, which You said would come.   But we are Your children, You dwell in us and we have overcome them, for You that is in us is greater than he who is in the world. In Jesus name Amen

WHEN WE PRAY TOGETHER THERE HE WILL BE

FATHER, forgive us for allowing us to remove You Because the Constitution says the majority rules; so we were silent. FORGIVE US FOR ALLOWING US TO take You out of our schools now there is more KILLINGS in our schools and YOUR House  in one year then in some prisons.

OUR DIFFERENCES IS A LAYER OF SKIN

Deuteronomy 10:17-19 "For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe. "He executes justice for the orphan and the widow and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing. "So show your love for the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.   Matthew 5:48"Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

We give thanks to You, O Lord and we stand in awe of You, for we are wonderfully made.  Marvelous are Your works!  Thank You that You uniquely designed and created us, with the same care and precision You used in creating the universe.  Thank You that You formed us in love exactly to Your specifications that You embroidered us with great skills in our mother’s womb.   We are grateful that our looks abilities, personality are like a special picture frame in which You can portray Your grace, beauty, love, strength, and faithfulness, to the praise of Your glory.  We rejoice that You have gifted us for the special purpose You have in mind for our lives.  It’s wonderful to know that You are not the least bit dissatisfied with our unborn talents, intelligence, aptitudes, appearance, and personality, for your hands have made and fashioned us to Your will.  We worship and bow down; to honor Your name and say thank You, Lord for whom You created us to be,.  Amen

PRAY FOR OUR PRESIDENT AND OUR NATION

As we begin a new era in American politics, all believers should be people of prayer, especially as we begin to prepare for 2020.  Father, we pray all government officials are held accountable for their wrongdoings. Leviticus 19:15 Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly”.

Dear Father, in Jesus' name we lift up America's President to You. We know that You can change our leader's heart, so we ask You to guide the head of our nation to make decisions that will lead the country in Your ways and according to Your will. Father, we pray that You would surround America's president with wise counsel - men and women of integrity who place Your agenda and the good of this nation above their own and whose motives are for that which is right for all people. We pray that You would give our leaders discernment, understanding, and knowledge so that our nation may know stability internally and abroad. We give thanks for our president according to Your Word and thank You for working in and through our leadership so that we might lead peaceful lives in godliness and honesty. Father, forgive us for removing You from our lives, our Nation, and not training our children in the way to go.  Father, fix this Nation, in Jesus name Amen

WHO ARE YOU CHRIST CHARACTER OR SATAN'S

The Character of Christ: love gentleness kindness self-control peace forgiving and the character of Satan: backbiting hate envy unforgiveness  Jealousy confusion and Strife, who are You.  The  Property of Christ-like character is faith reconstruction and His inheritance to the Kingdom.  The Property of Satan is fear doubt turmoil and every lasting Hell, which do You choose.  We have seen what the world has to offer now let see what our Lord has to offer. 

1 John 2:6 Whoever, says He abides in them ought to walk in the same way He walked. His Character will make us walk His walk and talk His talk.  So we must be "sober-minded, watchful, because the Adversary the Devil walks around like a roaring lion, seeking to devour us. (1 Peter 5:8)  The Devil is always fighting to keep us in the flesh because he knows the more we desire the things of the Spirit the less control he has over our flesh.

Father, remind us daily through the Word and our prayers Who and What You are to us.  Give, us His strength to be submissive to Your Word and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle and show love and kindness to all people.  For we are still sinners lead by the Spirit, so give us a Christ-like desire for the things of the Spirit that keeps our fleshly Souls at rest.  Lord, give us perseverance, so, we are not led astray with our worldly passions and pleasures.  Father, search our hearts and remove the character of Satan from us, the malice, envy, and hating each other because of our differences.  So, right now Father, we come to You asking You to fill us with the goodness and loving kindness of our Savior; not because of our works in righteousness, but because of Your mercy and grace.  Thank You, Lord, for the forgiveness of our sin and giving us the wisdom and knowledge of how to forgive others.  Thank You for allowing the Holy Spirit to wash us clean, as He regenerates and renews our Spirits, in Jesus name, Amen

LET'S HUMBLE OURSELVES AND PRAY

Father, I plead the Blood of Jesus over all the homeless people especially the children, for all broken families including mine, for all who are unemployed, for all the women and children who are alone without any help, for all the sick people who are suffering, for all the seniors who are sick and alone, for all the people who are affected by wars, natural disasters, and have been affected by hate crimes, for all the broken marriages and relationships, and all the victims of various circumstances. Lord, I pray for all the poor people around the world, for all the Job operating companies who have been hurt by technology and larger companies. Father, I decree and declare the blood of Jesus to cleanse us of our sins, so that we might be healed and our prayers will be answered without any hindrances. Father, let the precious Blood of Jesus Christ protect us from all evil and our enemies. Father, I pray for guidance, strength, hope, comfort, healing, PEACE, prosperity and justice for my son and all who have been treated unjustly. Father, we cry out to You, in the Name of Jesus, baptize us in the Holy Spirit so Your plans and purposes for our lives and our family lives come to pass. Lord, I pray that You will have mercy on us and deliver each one of us in our times of trouble, according to Your will. I surrender all the above people to You and myself, knowing that we will be safe in Your hands. In Jesus name, Amen
