Ephesians 4:26 And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sundown while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.
Father, help us remember that we don’t have to let our emotions control us. Lord, our emotions are gifts from You, and so many of our feelings help us enjoy the experiences of life. Thank You for our feelings of joy, peace, and love, but there are also the dark feelings of fear, hate, and anger. Those feelings were introduced to us when sin entered this world. So, Lord, when Satan comes to tempt us with doubt and fear, fill us with the courage of David to help us stand on Your Word. Please forgive our failures strengthen our faith to help us because we cannot do this independently. So, baptize us with Your Spirit, then we can do anything, even let go of anger and forgive our enemies. Father, we come to You right now, asking You to help us release all bitterness, unforgiveness, and hate in our hearts and minds, in Jesus' name Amen.

PRAY FOR OURSELVES BEFORE WE PRAY FOR ANYTHING ELSE
Never go to the alter when you're angry or bitter because our prayers reflect our emotions, and that may not sit well with God.
First, ask God to search our hearts and minds and remove all that is not of Him.
Father, You understand the anger. We believe You want us to be angry about evil, injustice, and sin but not sin because we are angry. Like You, may we let love override our anger? Please forgive us for the times we have hurt others with angry words or actions. By the power of Your Spirit, grant us the gift of kindness and gentleness that we might come to You in prayer when we are angry, asking for Your guidance to address the issue without adding to the problem with our emotions, In Jesus' name, Amen.

ORDER OUR STEPS IN YOUR WILL
Are woman permitted to be a pastor continues to intensify. Women have played a role throughout the centuries. In the current discussions of gender roles, there is a need for clear thinking about what the Bible says. 1 Timothy 2:11-15. We read in verse 12, “I do not permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man.” In this passage, Paul forbids women from engaging in two activities that characterize the elders’ ministry: teaching and exercising authority.
We see this in the qualifications for the office, among other places: elders must have the ability to teach (1 Tim. 3:2; 5:17; Tit. 1:9; cf. Acts 20:17-34) and to lead the church (1 Tim. 3:4-5; 5:17). Women are prohibited from teaching men and from exercising authority over them, and therefore it follows that they should not serve as elders.
But, while the Bible does not support the practice of women serving as pastors, numerous passages speak clearly and forcibly to the inherent worth and value of women. Women in the New Testament engaged in significant ministry, performing valuable service in sometimes-difficult situations. This is readily seen in the Acts of the Apostles. Both Priscilla and Aquila spoke privately to Apollos at Ephesus (Acts 18:24-26), correcting his incomplete and flawed theology. Further, women clearly played a significant role in the work of the Apostle Paul. In his letter to the Romans, Paul identified sixteen significant helpers in ministry (16:1-16), and at least ten of them were women. Who knows what the health of the church at Philippi would have been were it not for Lydia (Acts 16:13-15), apparently a benefactor to the church, and others such as Euodia and Syntyche (Phil. 4:2-3)? And of course, women made a significant contribution to Jesus' ministry. Luke recalled with appreciation their financial support and company with Him (Luke 8:1-3).
Lord, help us understand the Truth and what is expected of us, order our steps in Your will. Father, bring perfect order to Your house, in Jesus name Amen

TURN AWAY FROM
Three times Ezekiel included God's call to the people of Israel: "Repent! Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!" "Repent! Turn away from all your offenses", Our Lord, is still making that call today "repent and turn away from our sins.
Luke 5:31 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Lord we know that we have sinned against You, by choosing to live in a manner that is not pleasing to You. We have rebelled against You, in so many ways. You, asked that we love You with all our minds, heart, and soul, and that we love our neighbors as ourselves. Lord, we have not obeyed You, and we ask for Your forgiveness. We have broken all or most of Your commandments doing our lives. We, have even doubted Your very existence. We have rejected Your Word. We have turned away from Your unconditional love You have continually offered us. Lord we have led ungodly lives by worshiping the materialism of this secular world and by being involved in the occult, from time to time. LORD we truly repent of all these sins and ask for Your grace and forgiveness, in the mighty name of Jesus

IT'S OUR MINDSET
Philippians 2:5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, Colossians 3:2 set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. Ephesians 4:23 and that you be renewed in the Spirit of your mind,
It's all about changing our mindset when we unite our minds with the Spirit through His Word, our worship, prayers, and faith. Then, we have the peace and joy of being of the same reason, maintaining the same love like Christ for all people.
Father, we are Your, children called by Your name, coming to You with the faith of a mustard seed. Asking You to protect our hearts and minds, let not our thoughts be of the flesh, but, let our mind set, be of the Spirit. Lord, renew our minds, so we can be transformed and not conformed to this world and all its darkness. Father, help us by the power of Your Spirit, to think on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is Justice for all, in Jesus' name. Lord, give us Your strength to forgive and pray for our enemies. So we will not be pulled down into the dark, dirty pit with them, with the weight of unforgiveness. Father, this world is filled with adversities that cause great fear and anxiety, so baptize us in the Holy Spirit, releasing us from an imprisoned life of fear. Lord, You are faithful to Your people, so we repent, we let go of our worries as we walk with You. In Jesus name Amen

TEACH OUR CHILDREN
Teach our children: about the Spirit, before they choose to follow the flesh.
Teach our children: the behaviour and interactions of economic agents and how economies work; before we teach them to value material things, that will fade away.
Teach our children: there history and who they are, before they understand how they are "stereotype by the system".
Teach our children: to follow their dreams and how to make preparation that help them come true.

Teach our children: how to focus on God and not the confusion around them and stay sober minded to their surroundings, at all times.
Teach our children: because if we don't the world will. Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
Father, When are giving birth, we have sorrow because our hour has come, but when we have delivered the baby, we no longer remember the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world, comes. Lord, we are so grateful for our children and our children's children, help us teach them the way to go, so even when they are old they will not part from You. Father, we have almost lost a generation of children to this dark world, help us bring them home to You, in Jesus name. Lord, keep Your, hedge of protection around them and cover them in the Holy Blood from head to toe. Father, let Your shield of Trust. Protect them from an unjust system and the darkness behind it.

WE ARE UNDER ATTACK DAILY
We're in a daily battle, we may not see it, we might forget it's there. But the enemy would love nothing more than to start our day off with discouragement and defeat, bringing fear and stress. Don't let him win.
The Devil will attack us when we’re in a weak position, both physically and emotionally. Jesus, was attacked after He had fasted for 40 days and nights. After He, fasted for forty days and forty nights, He was famished. The tempter came and said to Him, ‘If indeed you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread” But, Jesus Spirit overrides His fleshly needs and we have that same power, through our relationship with Him
Father, there is no one besides You to help in this racial battle between the unrighteous and those who have no strength; please help us, oh Lord, Our God, for we trust in You, and Your name have come against this multitude. Lord, You are, God; let not man's hatred prevailed against Your people. Father, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your Word. with all confidence, while You extend Your hands of healing, and protection. Father, we thank You for Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in everything we do, even when we Vote. Father, as we grow to know and Truth You, wr figure out what is real, we also know more of what is false, which makes us stronger to stand against it in the powerful name of Jesus. Lord, You will never leaves us to fend for ourselves in a dark world, and thank You, for reminding us that You are there, fighting for us, even when we cannot see it. In Jesus name Amen

MAKE STUDYING THE WORD A HABIT
Starting our day with the Word, it gives us guidance in our day-to-day struggles, as well as our health. When studying the Word becomes a habit peace and comfort will be in every aspect of our lives.
1 Peter 5:7 cast all our anxiety on Him because He cares for us. Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
Father, thank You, for forgiveness and grace, help us become worthy of You. Lord, we pray for the things of the Spirit, as we lay our anxieties on You. Father, we have fallen short in our prayer lives and our studies, give us that same burning desire, we had when we received You as our Savior. Lord, help us walk with You and not stumble in the wrong direction; but, stay aligned with Your will. Lord, we choose to imitate and glorify You in every way. So, help us develop Fruit and become more like Christ as we grow in grace. Because, we are Your creations, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which You have prepared ahead of time, so that we can walk in them. In Jesus name Amen

LET US PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ASKED FOR PRAYER
Hebrews 13:18-19 Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things. And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Father, we pray for our children and our children's children, remove every generational curse, and give them Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in their lives. Father, Forgive us for losing a generation of children, by not teaching them the way to go. Lord, we pray for those that are homeless, especially those that are victims of the System. Lord, touch the hearts of their families and loved ones, give them patience, understanding, and a heart fill with love. So they will reach out once again to help and give them wisdom and knowledge to receive it.

Psalm 55:23“Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved”

FATHER REMOVE ALL DOUBTS AND FEARS
Sarah giving birth at the age of 90 represents something much greater than one woman's experience. It demonstrates God's unrelenting pursuit of each of us. Despite her fault and persistent lack of faith.
Sarah witness God turn the "impossible" into reality. There was no natural way possible that they could conceive a child. Abraham exclaims, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” (Genesis 17:17) She did — and named him Isaac, which means “laughter.” He was named Isaac, because, when God approached Abraham and Sarah about giving birth to a son, both laughed hysterically. Abraham, “fell on his face and laughed” while Sarah, “laughed to herself”
We doubt God because we see things from a fleshly perspective, and all the impossibilities that comes with the flesh. But, we are dealing with the Spirit and with Him nothing is impossible "Matthews 19:26. Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”
Thank You, Father. For a new day in our right minds, peace in our Land, and provision and bless those who are less fortunate. Lord, cover those who are caught up in the corruption of politics, the greed, and wickedness of this world; pleace cover them with the blood of Jesus, and give them peace. Lord, there are so many of our black women missing, please, God, reveal the truth of their disappearance right now, in Jesus name and bring them home safe. Lord, we've heard of Your, works in the past and we have experienced Your good deeds in our lives, so forgive us for our doubts and fears. Put our flesh to rest, strengthen our Spirits, that will remove all doubts and fears. Our goal is to grow in grace and be more Christ-like every day, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, help us walk in Spirit, not by our might, but, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name Amen

HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED
James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Psalm 115:1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your steadfast love and your faithfulness
If God has moved mountains for you, then give Him some praise. You're home instead of hospital, jail, homeless, or dead, we should give Him praise
We praise You, for Your, knowledge and Your wisdom, to implement You in our daily lives. You, are too wise to ever make a mistake, too loving to ever do anything unkind. You, act on our behalf, accomplishing what is needed for us to fulfill Your purpose in us as we grow in grace. Thank You, that You, love us deeply and with understanding, compassion and forgiveness. Lord, teach us patient, consideration, and fill us with the love, You, have for us, so we can Express it to others. You, desire our love and praise, how precious is Your love for us, we sing with praises and we worship You, as we take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. Father, thank You, for our fleshly awareness that hinders our blessings and the Fruit of the Spirit that gives us Spiritual strength to lay our flesh to rest, in Jesus name Amen

IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE GOOD IN GOD'S EYE
The next time you see someone that you say "their doing all the wrong things and God is continuing to bless them". What if their not doing all the wrong things, their just sinning differently from you. But, this might be the reason, God keeps blessings them, they are CONNECTED TO God. David is a perfect example of being connected to God, David did just about everything any other normal man did as far as sinning go, but the difference between David and most normal men is, he was connected to God. So his blessing were not because he was good in men eyes, but because he was good in God's eye.
There are many answers that could be given that would not be wrong: David was courageous, he was passionate for the Lord, he was obedient to the Lord, he was a worshiper of God, he repentant when he sinned, he had great character, and he had a zeal for building the Lord a house. But if you had to pick the most fundamental, core reason for why God loved and blessed David so much it would simply be this: Because God chose him. Just like He chose you and me, we may not seem righteous in their eyes, but, they are not the person we answer to, God Is.
Father, more than anything we desire a relationship with Christ, we want to be closer to You than David. Lord, give us Your favor, anoint our heads with oil and let Your Spirit rush upon us. Thank You, for Love that depended on Christ Character, Not our Character, because we are not worthy. Father, to know You is to know Christ. Lord, let the Word give us eyes that see the Truth, so we are not condemned for our Spiritual blindness. So, Lord, search our hearts and remove the causes of our spiritual blindness such as Satan, pride, ignorance, following blind guides, caring what others think, and separation from You. Father, let us not hardened our hearts, because we won’t come to the knowledge of the truth. Father, we know You are real, but people reject You because they love their sins and don’t want to submit to You. Father, we submit our will to You, please order our steps in Your way, in Jesus name Amen

HE BROUGHT US THIS FAR HE WANT LEAVE US
Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
“Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. ... When we seek Him, trust Him and delight ourselves in Him, then it becomes His responsibility to act on the good things that He promised us, the desires of our heart.
Father, remove all that keeps us from sitting in a place of honor, at Your feet. Lord, we earnestly search for You, our Souls thirst for You, You are the water we drink in this parched and weary land. Father, most of us have felt Your presence in the Sanctuary and experienced Your power in our lives. Your, love for us is greater than life itself, this is why we praise and worship You. Lord, You satisfy us more than anything this lost world has to offer, so help us meditate on Your Word day and night, because You are our helper. Lord, thank You, for our Guarding Angels, that keep those who plot against us, under our feet and let them die by Your Sword. Lord, help us practice what we have learned, so Your power will manifest in our lives. Father, let our us ache for Your righteousness daily, so it will give You, room to renew our hearts and minds. Lord, You are faithful to us, eventhough we are not submissive to You. Lord, we thank You, with all our hearts, how amazing is Your grace. Father, we delight in You; everything You do reveals Your glory and majesty and Your love never fails us. Thank You, in Jesus name Amen

LOVE OUR ENEMIES
When God tells us to love our enemies it does not mean we become instant friends with them again. Love comes in many forms and all forms of love, leads to the good of all involved. We speak of love in many different contexts and they all are different: the Love a mother has for her child is different than the love she has for her husband. The love we have for material objects is different than the love we have for people. The love between a Pastor and member is different than the love he has for his family; love of your dog or your cats, your country, your grandparentd, are all love but, different. We love both our parents, but most of us love our Mother more than our father, but, our love for both is strong. We can't forget the love we have for our sweethearts. Is there a common denominator for all these varieties of love? Jesus
Loving our enemies is what Jesus did as a human being, He treated everyone with respect and kindness, even those who wanted to kill Him. He did not hang out with them, but, when He was in there presence He, treated them, like He, would anyone else. “Matthew 3:43 You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”G. K. Chesterton also said: “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”— Difficult, yes, but eminently worth trying, especially in our world torn by enmity. In the mess we are in, we don’t have much to lose by trying anything. Who knows? To love our enemies may be our only way out."
Good morning, Father, thank You for a new day and thank You, in advance for our daily blessings. Lord, forgive us for falling short of Your mercy, grace, and favor. Thank You, for life, health, our Spiritual growth, all that You have done, and plan to do. Father, teach us how to love, like Christ did, even our enemies. Help us, treat everyone with understanding, compassion, and kindness, because You are all about love. So, open our hearts to those that have wronged us and those we have wronged, fill us with the love of the Spirit, to help us love and obey. Lord, we love You, because You first loved us, baptize us with Your Spirit, that will help us be submissive to, You, and loving to others, in Jesus name Amen

COMPARE OURSELVES TO CHRIST NOT OTHERS
God does not compare us with anyone and we should not compare ourselves to others. We have no idea how another person succeeded in life. They may have Compromise their values and souls, to get where they are now. We should be comparing ourselves with Christ, because comparing ourselves to others is worthless. Our goals of comparison is to simply become the person He created.
2 Corinthians 10:12 Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.
Just be perfectly yourself, because we are children of the Most High, so we are good enough. We are smart enough, but everyone could be smarter. If we have a relationship with Christ, we are loved enough. If we practice what we have learned, we will be rich enough. Our beauty comes from our Spirits, think about that the next time we feel like comparing ourselves to others.
Father, let us not compare ourselves to others, but, to Christ, for we are seeking Your approval not man. We are servants of God, so we are equipped with enough; brain, talent, ideas, joy, peace, provisions, and love to live the life He created us to live and we are so grateful. Thank You, Lord, for forgiveness and for keeping us from being conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that by testing we may discern what is Your will, all that is good and acceptable and perfect. So, Lord, we decree and declare we will not compare ourselves to others, but examine ourselves, to see whether we are in the faith, because comparing ourselves to others is worthless, in Jesus name Amen

OUR BELIEFS
John. 20:28 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Our beliefs and relationships with Him is central to our decisions. A decision not to live sinfully in ourselves, but to live perfectly through Him.
Lord, our whole lives our govern on our beliefs, please help us develop faith with our beliefs. Lord, without You, and our faith in our beliefs, we are paralyzed by fear of the darkness and unable to function in this world. Father, we believe through Your Word, that sharing Your blessings with others, add value to our lives. Lord, let our beliefs and faith play a role in making the world a better place. Father, let not religion separate us, but, let Your love fill our hearts and unite us. Lord, help those who follow You, practice what they say they believe in, LOVE, because You are love. Father, let our hearts and minds be baptized by the Spirit, so we can have an intimate relationship with Christ. Lord, develop our beliefs with the Truth and not what man has implemented in the Word. Father, our belief in You, comes from our education and experiences with Your Son, that strength our faith and help us submit to You. In Jesus name Amen

FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION
Deuteronomy 30:19 says we can either choose life and blessing or death and cursing.
Our families have the greatest influence on our development, including the development of our patterns of sin #generation curses" Does God hold us accountable for something that someone else did? Are there such a thing as a "generational curse?" Exodus 34:7 says that God "visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and fourth generation." Dose this mean that we're punished for, our Ancestor sins, or does it mean we develop their sinful habits. Whatever it means, we know it's just a chain and it can be broken.
Father, our families have the greatest influence on our development, good and bad, even the development of our patterns of sin. So. Lord, we decree and declare every generational curse has been broken, Lord, we decree and declare every demonic Spirit that has been spoken over us or around us; be removed, right now, in the name of Jesus. Lord, order our steps in Your will and keep us humble; Lord, give us the faith of Daniel; and let us encourage others with the truth, of the Word. Father, do not let our enemies harm us and keep a hedge of protection around, our children. Father, we thank You for forgiveness, peace, love, joy, and freedom from the world. Lord, we are no long after the things of the flesh; but things of the Spirit, in Jesus name, Amen
