NO DIVISION

Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Unity among believers comes from our union with Christ.

Lord, we are grateful that we can be a part of Your family. Keep us connected to our earthly and spiritual brothers and sisters, looking out for each other's needs. Help us live in unity with all believers so that those in the dark may see how gracious You are and want to know You as well. Lord, help us live in peace, walking in  Your way, so our lives and this world You created will come to order. In Jesus excellent name Amen

MEDITATE ON HIS WORD

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies and seek him with all their heart—(ps. 119:2)
Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors. (Ps. 119:24)

It is important that we think deeply and reflect on what we believe and our actions. Without this introspection, we can forget the importance of living righteously and following the lessons of the Bible.

Lord I just read Your Words in Ps. 119:2 and 24 give me the knowledge and wisdom to keep Your Word, help me meditate.   Show me what I can do to make it my delight and counselors. Open my mind and hearts so I can learn from You, Lord give me guidance and protection from those that confuse me. Father, we will Keep this Book of the Law always on our lips; meditate on it day and night, so that we may be careful to do everything written in it. Then we will be prosperous and successful.
In Jesus name Amen

FOR ALL THE BELIEVES

  • One thing we ask from the LORD, this only do we seek: that we may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of our lives, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple.

Father, we come to You on behalf of ALL believers. Lord, You, know our needs and the needs of this land, bless us according to Your will. Lord, You, feel our anguish, please act on our behalf and remove it, as You search our hearts and remove all that is not of You. Remove everything Lord, that keeps us from sitting at Your feet and all that hinders our blessings and Spiritual growth. Father, we pray to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, cleanse our hearts and make room for Your Spirit to move and transform us into the people you created. People that will love You, like You love us; people that will sacrifice their fleshly desires for You, like You sacrificed Yourself for us. The people that will serve Your purpose and walk in Your way loving ourselves and each other. Lord, we come to You today, asking You to intervene in our lives, right now in the Holy name of Jesus. Make Your presence known, Amen

OUR LUST GIVE BIRTH TO OUR SINS

Samuel 11:2 and from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold.

David did not sin by catching a glimpse of Bathsheba. He sinned when his lust for her gave strength to the flesh and weakened his spirit. Temptation does not make us sin it's the lust for that temptation that gives birth to sin. When something is tempting to us, we must remove ourselves from the temptation before lust takes over.

Father,  You said the lust of the flesh, the lust of our eyes, and the pride of life, comes not from You, but from the world. Lord, search our hearts and remove our lustful Spirit, so we are not enticed and dragged away by our own evil desire. Let, not our lustful thoughts give birth to sin; because when sin is full-grown, it gives birth to death. So, Lord, put to death what is earthly in us and replace them with the desires of the Spirit. Lord, let the Holy Spirit urge us to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage daily war against our Souls. Father, keep our eyes focused on You, so our lustful thoughts of the flesh will be laid to rest in Jesus name Amen

BEFORE WE JUDGE THINK ABOUT

Before you judge the teenager that is carrying a child, think about the abortion you had. Before you judge the prostitute standing on the corner, think about the unclean things you did that no one know about.  Before we judge the person in prison, think about The times we did wrong and didn't get caught.  Before you judge the drug user, alcoholic, fornicator, think about when you were there. Before you pass judgment think about your pass, thank God for saving you, then pray for them.

Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Father, remove our judging Spirit and replace it with compassion and understanding. Lord, let us not turn a blind eye to the needs of others and let us not forget our blessings. Father, help us focus more on the sins we will be held accountable for, not the sins of others. Lord, let us not talk about people sins that show, but, pray for them and our sins, that don't show. Lord, when our fleshly spirit of judgement arises, let us judge ourselves first, so we may have compassion and kindness when judging others. Father, thank You, for forgiveness and continue to teach us how to forgive. Thank You, that we are not in jail, war, slavery, homeless, unemployed, sick, or dead. Thank You, for saving us and let us not forget where we came from and may we never look at anyone lowly, in Jesus name Amen

PLEASE PRAY WITH ME

Matthew 23:12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.  Jsmes 3:13 Are there any of you who are wise and understanding? You are to prove it by your good life, by your good deeds performed with humility and wisdom.


Father, humility is the main character that Children of God exhibit, so fill us with all humility. Let us walk without pride and arrogance but humbly follow You to righteousness. Lord, let us do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than ourselves. Let each of us not only look to the needs of our families, but also to the needs of the least of us. Lord, let us not exalt ourselves, but stay humble, and be exalted by You. Father, search our hearts and minds and remove all: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from our mouth. Lord, help us avoid people that speak evil of others and those who like to quarrel. Father, keep us gentle and kind-hearted and let us show perfect courtesy toward all people. In Jesus name AMEN

OUR CHRIST LIKE CHARACTER IS OUR GREATEST DEFENSE

Sometimes we can't fight our battles, because our battles are not always with or in the flesh. Sometimes our battles are with the forces of darkness, although we are dealing with the flesh; there's another entity present in them, that's not of the flesh. So if we're not fighting a human opponent, the battle shouldn't be fought with human resources. We cannot stand against satan without the Word. This is why we need the belt of truth daily, to whole our armor and faith together, so we can stand on His Word in battle. Our Christ like character is our greatest defense against our enemies and Satan.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

Father, thank You, for fighting the battle in this world, we may not see and those we might forget is there. Lord, as believers in this dark world, it inevitable that we will encounter Spiritual warfare; prepare for the obstacles and attacks of the enemy, help us stay dressed in full body armor. Lord. Keep us close to You and alert of Satan's and His workers schemes. Arms us with the sword, the Word and help us retain what we have read, so can stand against the enemy’s lies. Equip us with Christ like strength, wisdom, and discernment through scripture and our faith, to stay strong in the spiritual warfare battle. FATHER, give us a strong desire to spend time in Your presence, through prayer, study, worship, and praise. Lord, You know our ways and understand our daily struggles so guard our hearts and minds and keep us focused on You. In Jesus name Amen

HE WILL DO THE SAME FOR YOU

The words come as you are means just that, don't focus on your surroundings focus on knowing God (who and what He is). The rules are read the instruction (The Bible/Word) daily, worship and praise (find a church home), pray, and memorize verses (memorizing scriptures will keep you in full body armor at all times and it will also teach you to pray in His Word). Revelation 22:17 is an open invitation: “Come! Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”  Even though we are  sinners, God desires us to come to Him as we are, so that He can cleanse us.

If we follow these instruction and implement them into our daily lives, transformation you will began. Philippians 1:6–And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

"We can’t change ourselves. But the Holy Spirit can transform our hearts and our lives. I believe that with all my heart, because it happened to me, that’s why I witness daily. Once we began to change, God instructed us to share our testimony so those that are looking for the same, peace, joy and hope, can find it as well."

Now this doesn't make us perfect, because we will backslide, as long as we're in the flesh, so we must study, pray, and worship Him daily for strength. Proverbs 24:16 For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.

This is what I experienced so I would like to pass it on to you.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.' In Jesus name Amen

DON'T BE SHAPED BY THE WORLD

We are surrounded by corruption and every sin known to man. This is why we need the Holy Spirit daily, so we do not adapt to our surroundings. If we are not connected to Christ with His beliefs and values, then we will be shaped by the world.

Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Father, thank You for reaching down in the pit of this dark world and saving our lives. Thank You, that message of the cross is no longer foolish to us, but, the lifestyle we choose to live. Thank You, Lord, for restoring us to our Father, and thank You for Your gracious gifts You have given to us. Father, through Your Son, we have been enriched in every way, with all His wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our lives. Lord, baptize us with every Spiritual gift we need as we serve our purpose and wait for Your return. Lord, give us Your courage and strength, so we too can stand on His Word, that keeps us free from blame. Father, we believe and stand on Your promise, that we are Your children and You love and forgive us. So, help us be submissive to You, our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen

RELAX AND TRUST GOD

Relax, there's nothing we can do about it anyway. Trust God enough to let Him take control, this will give us time to refresh ourselves in His Word and prayer. One of the most prominent themes of scripture is to "Trust in God," especially in troubled times. "Psalm 9:10 And those who know your name put their TRUST in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

Father, thank You for keeping us through the night and our friends and loved ones. Lord, thank You, for refreshing our Souls in Your everlasting love, please keep us aware of Your presence. Lord, help us practice what we have learned, so we do not have to rehearse what to say or do, just seek You. Father, we want to live fully in Your presence; depending on You and not seeking self sufficiency, because we can't do this without You. Lord, we no longer worry about our inadequacy, because we rejoice in Your grace and glory, that gives us peace. Lord, help us to not learn on our understanding, but continually seek Your face. So, right now we leave our problems and issues at the Altar and we are standing on Your Word, to give You room to move in our lives. Father, let the Word baptize us in the discipline that will enable us rely on You, in every season or situation, in Jesus name Amen

GOD TEACHES US "Through His Word"

"God taught me" it would cost me less money and stress by being humble. “God taught me” not to brag or boast unless I’m giving a testimony. "God taught me". who I am in Christ, so I don’t care what people say anymore. "God taught me." how to pray and serve my purpose daily. “God taught me.” I am stronger, smarter, wiser, and better person than I was before, “God taught me” through His Word and the Holy Spirit, and He will teach you too.
Proverbs 22:6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Proverbs 9:9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.

WE STAND THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD

Job wife was a foolish woman, if we can accept the good from God; we should be able to endure the bad. Regardless of what adversity we go thru in life, our faith and courage should keep us strong. Just knowing the things God has done for us, should strengthen our faith in the storm.

In the storm we walk by faith and not by sight. This is the time we say aloud to ourselves “I know God has a purpose for my suffering, so help me receive what it is, You, want me to learn. I know You will bring me thru this, as You have so many times before, stronger and wiser. I know You are a loving and caring Father and You're doing good and eternal work in my life. Just like Job” In all this Job did not sin with his lips (Job 2:10) he trusted God thru whatever and we should too.

Father, forgive us for how we made Your Son suffer and give us His strength, during our times of suffering. Thank You, for loving us even though we still fall short.   Please, give us Your strength, love, and guidance, that helps us stand on Your Word.  Fill us with the Holy Spirit that cleanse our hearts and mind and remove all doubts and fears. Father, remove our spirit of procrastination, that hinders us from moving forward. Lord, help us practice what we have learned, so our Christ like character, manifest in our lives. Lord, give us the faith and endurance of Job and remove the foolish people around us. So, we will stay focused on You, that gives us confidence, courage, and peace, in Jesus name Amen

LORD REMOVE ALL THAT IS NOT OF YOU

Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31-32

Holy One, You call us from the busy lives we lead; You call us from our preoccupations and selfishness; You call us to put away our wrath, and our anger; You call us to be kind to one another, tender hearted and forgiving to all people. Help us, live up Your calling, we come to You, seeking Your courage, strength, and guidance. Knowing that without You we are lost. Renew us and guide us in Your love; teaching us how to be sensitive to the culture in which we live, that we may hear and understand its needs. Teaching us how to frame Your Good News for our time, teaching us how to trust You in the journey of life; teaching us how to live Your peace in our broken world; teaching us how to live and share Your abundant grace.Grant us, O God, the sensitivity and wisdom to be inclusive to all people and all nations. We pray for all who live in violence, all who live in hunger, and all who mourn this day. May they know Your healing presence. Help us work together to bring peace, healing and wholeness to all corners of Your creations. All of this we pray in the name of the one whose life showed us the face of God in human form.
Amen.

LORD PROTECT OUR CHILDREN

Our Father, who holds all power in His hands, thank You for the grace. Today Lord, we pray for all the children who are suffering. Lord, some of these gifts that You delivered upon the earth have been victimized by the evil ones in their innocence. Some suffer in poverty, illness, and underdevelopment and abuse by the hands that should protect and love them. Today Lord, we ask that You encamp Your angels around our children that they would be protected. Dear Lord, pour out blessings upon the earth that every child be blessed and brought out of negative situations for they are pure and yet inherited the impurities from the world. We ask that Your, will be done that they may grow and learn to praise You and give gloryto Your name. God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Your mercy endures to all generations. Your truths are timeless and Your provisions are abundant to those who call upon Your name. Help us to declare Your faithfulness to our own generation and to the generations that follow. Thank You, for our ancestors who proclaimed Your faithfulness to their children who in turn passed on spiritual truths to us. And we now have the blessing and responsibility of proclaiming Your faithfulness to our children. Generation by generation we proclaim the salvation that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Father, we’re reminded by the Word of Paul that we are to remain firm when the deluge of deceitful tactics from the enemy comes against us, through the media, books, false prophets and even well-meaning but confused individuals. Your Word, is the stabilizing and authoritative manual for all that we need for life and godliness. You promised, to bring maturity into our Christian walk as we firmly plant ourselves into the solid teaching of Your Holy Word. We apply, Your teaching so that we will attain to the fullness of Your Son, Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone. Help us, to be wise, studied daily, and firmly planted in Christ so that we will not be like children tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine. We pray this in Jesus’ name...AMEN!

WE PRAY FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Proverbs 31:8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.

God gives some of us the power of influence and the purpose of this gift of influence, is to speak up for those who can't speak for themselves. God gift of influence, is not to be used to divide or destroy others. Nor is it to be used for our own material gain, it is for lifting others up and guiding them to the Kingdom

Father, thank You, for another day, thank You that we did not wake up in a war torn country, please put Your hedge  of protection around those that did.  Father, help us use our influences to give others hope and to help them see Your light. Lord, right now we speak for all the children of the world, those held in detention camps in Texas, those that are being sold as sex slaves, and those that are being kidnapped and killed for their organs. Lord, we pray for justice for all the families that lost their loved ones to hate crimes and Persecution for those who committed these  Terrorist acts, not of our will but of Yours. Father, help us elected Officials that will speak for the people and not sit in silence. Lord, bring the government that You put in place for the people to order, intervene Lord, in the injustice in our government.   Lord, let those that goverm the people be filled with the love of the Spirit the way you designed it.  Remove every person that is only in this for a Political career. Father, we speak for our Veterans that gave their lives, time, and Sanity saving our lives and freedom. Lord, make our government treat them better, let them all receive the benefits they've earned for servicing our Country. Lord, we speak for our seniors, especially those living in deplorable conditions; those being mistreated and abuse, have Your way Lord, with those responsible.  We speak for the homeless and motherless and fatherless children, Lord, give them guidance, protection,  and serve Justice on those that prey on them.  Father, please hear our voices we speak for all those who can't speak for themselves, in Jesus name Amen

GOD WILL PUT OUT THE FIRE

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are three black Hebrew men thrown into a fiery furnace by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, when they refuse to bow down to the king's image; the three are preserved from harm and the king sees four men walking in the flames,

Faith is what Saved them and faith is what will Save you. Let Him lead stay humble and walk into the fire Praising and worshiping Him and He will put out the flame of your fire.

ALL WE CAN SAY IS THANK YOU

Once the Holy Spirit enters our hearts we will begin to change.

Things will happen that will take us down the path He designed for us, it want always be pleasant but we will have peace, protection,  and guidance through the valley.

WE HAVE EVERTHING BUT CHRIST

We have multiplied are material things, but the depleted our values.
We have more food and less nutrition.
We have learn how to split an atom, but we cannot split racism.
We have more leisure time, but less fun.
We have bigger houses, but so many broken home.
We have more degrees,.but less common sense.
We have more money, but more people are starving.
We have more doctors and more disease.
We have more churches, but not  enough believers
We have more than we use to, but things seem to be getting harder, what are we missing

We have nothing if we don't have Christ. "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."

Father, strengthen our Spirits, so we can keep Your commandments "because those who obey Your Word loves You." And he who loves You will be loved by You.” “Lord, thank You, that You manifested Yourself to us, and not to the world?” Lord, You said, “If anyone loves You, he will keep Your Word, and our Father will love us, and we will come to Him and make our home with Him. Whoever does not love the Lord, does not keep His Word And the word that we hear is not Christ  but the Father's who sent Him. Because You came and gave Your life we have grace, we have been saved through faith. And this is not our own doing; it is the gift of God and we are so grateful. Father, we have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. And the life we now live in the flesh, help us live by faith through Your Son, who loved us and gave Himself for us.  Amen.

WALK BY THE SPIRIT

Galatians 5:16-18 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[c] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Believers are at constant conflict Spiritually because of the ongoing struggle of our fleshly desires and cravings. This is why we must study and pray daily to consciously walk by the Spirit in Faith.

Father, the only way for us not to carry out our desires of the flesh; is by the Fruit of the Spirit and to require the Fruit of the Spirit, we must study, worship, pray, and praise daily. Lord, strengthen our faith that helps lay our flesh to rest, during Spiritual warfare. Father, give us a love for the things of the Spirit and order our steps in Your will. Search our hearts and minds and remove all that separate us from You and Your plans for our lives. Father, give us eyes that see all that You are and ears that hear Your voice. Lord, let not our sinful thoughts and behavior continue after our conversion. Father, let not our flesh have the upper hand, give us Christ like character that will overcome our flesh, in Jesus name Amen

THIS PRAYER IS FOR ALL MY FRIENDS

Proverbs 18:24 NIV A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 13:20 NIV He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harms. #3 John 15:13 NIV Greater Love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Father, clothed all my friends with wisdom and the knowledge of You. Give them the Spiritual understanding they need, as we mature and walk through this Valley of death. Lord, baptize us all in the Holy Spirit that will give us comfort and compassion to endure the torment and obstacles, that we will face. Father, put Your hedge of protection around us, as we walk through the battlefields of life and shield us from the torment of satanic Spirits we cannot see and dark spirited people we deal with daily.  Lord, let those that are in their season of blessings be a blessing to those in the storm's. Father, help us be loyal and supportive to each other, Spiritually and physically "Because that's what friends or for". Lord, we thank You, for health and we pray for our friend's that are sick, let Your will be done. Lord, motivation us to eat right and exercise, so we can lose and maintain our weight, for good health. Father, we thank You, for the blessings, the lessons, and growth. We thank You, for Your presence and friendship, because no one is able to walk alone. But, most of all we thank You, for forgiveness, grace, and favour, in Jesus name Amen
