PRAY IN HIS WORD

Ephesians 3:14 For this reason, I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen

WE WEREN'T THERE BUT HE IS STILL HERE

We were not there to see Christ performed His miracles and deeds. We were not there when God took care of the Egyptian Army, by burying them in the Red Sea, when they pursued us. We were not there when God took care of our ancestors in the wilderness for 40th years. But, we have experienced His love and power on our lives. We saw Him pull us out of the dark pits of this world. We saw Him make away, when there was none, we experience His peace even in the midst of grief and chaos. We see His his grace and favor, because He has kept us.

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

Father, thank You, for the Holy Spirit that gives us the strength to feel Your presence. Thank You, for peace in the midst of all the confusion and chaos around us. Thank You, for providing all our needs, Your guidance through the Valleys of death, and Your protection from our enemies. Thank You, for keeping Your hedge of protection around our children and our children's children, as well as ourselves. Thank You, for saving us from the world and placing Your Words in our hearts. Help the Word take deep root inside us and let us burn them in our mind as a reminder of Who and What You are in our lives. Lord, help us teach Your Word to our children, let You be the first thing we do in the morning, throughout the day, and the last thing at night. Lord, we ask to be established in love, may we have power, together with all the saints. So we may be filled to measure of all the fullness of You in Jesus name Amen

DON'T LOSE FOCUS BECAUSE OF FEAR

Fear creates depression and takes our focus off the change that's happening around us. After this there will be a new world order, our money and the way we pay for things will change. A lot of people that were laid off will not be returning to work, because of the shift in the economy. Things as we know them is about to change.

Revelation 13:16-18 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

Father, we are living in unsettling times, and it's only through You we can find peace in this pandemic. Lord, You, are the only one who can effectively prevent the contagious epidemic of fear, that the devil and our enemies use to control us.  Lord, You did not give us a Spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. That allow us to live in peace, in this fallen world. Lord, the devil want to keep us fearful treading from one crisis to the next. Every morning we wake up to a new peril: virus pandemics, new flu strains, Ebola, recessions, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, fires, even the threat of other countries attacking us. Lord, then there's our financial worry and our uncertain future. Lord, we lay all these burden at the Altar, for we are not only fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil Spirits, we ask You to intervene right now, in the Holy name of Jesus. Father, give the weak hope, as our lives as we knew it spiral out of our control. Help us stay focused on You and not the confusion around us in Jesus name, Amen

LET US πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™PRAY

Instead of talking about Coronavirus, let pray about itπŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™. Pray for our families, friends, and enemies, we say we believe in prayer. LET'S PRAY

Ephesians 4:13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

 Father, teach us how to work together in unity on one accord; show us, Lord, how to build each other up along with our communities, and Your Kingdom. Lord, give us creative ideas to share with all involved that work together for the greater good of the people. Lord, it times for Your people to come together, and heal, understand and get it together. Father, help us start a new foundation with renewed hearts and minds; as we come together in prayer for the sake of all people, dealing with the Coronavirus. Father, abide in us, and we in You, so we may bear fruit because You are the nourishment of our vine, our protector, provider, and the person with the last say over our lives. In Jesus name Amen

THE PROPER APPLICATION

For those who have used the Bible to promote hate or slavery, have manipulated the meaning of the Scriptures for their own evil intentions.

Revelation 22:18-19 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

Father, fill us with the things of the Spirit; and release us from mental and physical slavery, of this wicked world. Father, help us be diligent in the Word and in Your mighty power; help us put on Your full armor, so we can stand against the devil’s schemes and the confusion around us. For our struggle is not just against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Lord, give us the belt of truth; buckle it around our waist and the breastplate of righteousness, so we will be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Father, help us take up the shield of faith so we can extinguish the flaming arrows of evil. Lord, give us the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word. Lord, teach us how to pray in the Spirit on all occasions and for all the Saints; when we open our mouth, words may be given to us so that You will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. In Jesus name Amen

LORD WE REPENT

We are those who are forgiven by Jesus because we were willing to repent and turn away from sin.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Goodmorning Lord, thank You for another day of grace and favor. Father, hear the prayers and petitions of Your unworthy servants. Thank You, for looking with favor on our desolate sanctuary. Lord, we do not make our requests, because we are righteous, but because You are merciful. Lord, Your, love for us is faithful, more faithful than a mother or earthly father. So, we ask You to keep us and act on our behalf, with no delay. Save us Lord, from all that is man made for their sake and not the sake of Your Kingdom, please, Father, do not delay. Now, Lord our God, who brought Your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for Yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong, in keeping with all Your righteous acts, turn away Your anger and Your wrath from us. We confess our sins, please cleanse us from all that separates us from You, heal Your people and this land. In Jesus name Amen

WHO BETRAYED YOU

It's ok to pay for betrayal because it always teaches us a lesson. But, sometimes betrayal is a blessings and part of God's plan for Spiritual empowerment or separate us from the world.

If anyone can relate to betrayal, it is Christ. Despite all who betrayed Him, He still found it in His heart to forgive, and rebuild relationships with us. His plan is for us to choose Him and let scripture educate and strengthen us. HE paid an immeasurable price for our betrayal.

Matthews 27:3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”

Father, thank You for grace and favor that we are not worthy of, thank You, for forgiveness of our shortcomings. Lord, we are so grateful for Your faithfulness to Your unworthy servants. Lord, baptize us with a Spirit of forgivenness, because You said "For if we forgive other people when they sin against us, You will also forgive us. But if we do not forgive others our sins, You will not forgive." So, search our hearts and minds and remove all unforgiveness and replace it with understanding and Your love. Lord, You know, being betrayed by a friend or a family member is one of the worst feelings ever. Sometimes the emotional pain is far worse than that of physical pain. But, we understand we must forgive, not to excuse their behavior, but to prevents their behavior from destroying our hearts. But, Father we cannot do this with our own understanding and strength, so set our minds on You, to give us peace and love feeling that only You can provide. So, we Cry out to You, heal our hurt pain and we pray for our betrayer, just like You prayed for us. Amen

ROOTED IN THE WORD

We can cut down a tree that is deeply rooted a hundred times, and it will continue to grow; just like a child of God that is deeply rooted will continue to grow. Job 14:7-9 "For there is hope for a tree When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail. "Though its roots grow old in the ground And its stump dies in the dry soil, At the scent of water it will flourish And put forth sprigs like a plant. No matter what happens, a true Believer will continue to grow daily in the Lord, even through persecution.

 Father, thank You, for restitution and restoring us to You our rightful owner. Lord, continue to heal those who souls have been taken away; or stolen through generational curses and the evil of this lost world. Father, reveal to us who and what You are, teach us Your moral standards and Your plan; as we develop Christ-like character, through our faith, prayer, and studying Your Word. Father, give us the wisdom and knowledge of the Word; so the hidden things known to You will be revealed to us. Lord, help us be a living testimony of Your love and power; so others may draw near to You, starting with our families. Father, help us be submissive to the Word; so we may receive the unique gifts bestowed upon us by the Holy Spirit, for the purpose of building up Your Kingdom. Father, do whatever it takes to heal and strengthen us; so we may continue to carry our cross, in Jesus name, Amen

WHAT WORKED IN BIBLICAL TIMES STILL WORKS NOW

Jesus told Moses how to save the Israelite children. He said each Israelite father should get a lamb. The lamb must have nothing wrong with it.
"They said to us wash our hands, stay away from those who have cold symptoms and disinfect"

And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
"Cover our families and communities with the Blood. This is a great time to bring our families together in worship and prayer."

The sickness passed over the houses with blood on the door. The Israelite children did not die. Jesus called this the Passover. He told the Israelites to remember the Passover. He said they should have a Passover dinner every year. They should remember that Jesus saved their children.
"Believe in His promise and practice what we have learned and worship and praise God and everything He said will manifest in our lives."

What worked in Biblical times still works today. Cover ourselves and our family with the Blood, through study and pray and do the work required to protect us from infections. Fear only weakens us for attacks

Father, we plead the Blood over our families, ourselves and our communities. Lord, let us not feel doomed with fear, but, stand on Your promise that You, will deliver us from all kinds of plagues in this wilderness. Lord, we believe with our hearts and we surrender all our hearts to You. So, Lord, our God, let not Your people be afflicted with this plague. Father, rescue us from the Fowler's snare of this man made virus, especially those with weak immune systems and our elderly. So, we come together in prayer Father, asking You to Heal us, that we may be healed, save us, that we may be saved, as we praise and worship You, in Jesus name Amen



TAKE SHELTER IN HIM

When life is full of adversity and storms, seek shelter in the Lord. We are His children; we don't stay in the rain.
Never depend on our own strength, but use His. Pour our hearts out to Him and trust Him with all our hearts. Know that we can overcome all adversity and storms through Christ, who gives us strength.

Psalm 27:5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.

Thank You for a new day of grace, and thank You for keeping our family and friends. Lord, walk with us through this day, be our eyes, ears, and feet, and guide us where we should go. Lord, let us be an instrument to use for Your work and a servant to others, as You keep Your hedge of protection around us. Thank You for setting us free and making room in us, where You reside with us. Thank You, Lord, for Your promise that brings peace and contentment to our Souls. Remake us, Father, according to Your Son's character. So, continue planting Your garden in us, watering us with Your Word, and nourishing us with Your love. We are grateful and overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit that helps us be submissive to You. Thank You, Father, for Your favor that shelters us from the turbulence of the world; in Jesus' name Amen

HIV EBOLA INFLUENZA HE WILL BRING US THROUGH COVID-19

The fear is real and our future is unknown But isn’t it alway. God has brought us through HIV, Ebola, Influenza, and many virus we don't know about, and He will bring us through COVID-19. We face the unknown daily, the mass shooting Black on black killings, police shootings of unarmed people, terrorists threats "home grown and outside". All we can really do is stay prayed up and do the works to prevent infection.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Lord, we ask You to intervene in the fear, that's being generated through another man made virus. Father, let us remember what we have learned and stand on Your Word. Jehovah Rapha, keep Your healing hands around us and keep us from diseases and sickness. Jehovah Sabaoth, our Protector, keep Your hedge of protection around us and all of Your children. Lord, help us apply Your application of Trust, that will remove all doubts and fears. As we turn from fear of the unknown and depend on You, who knows all, in Jesus name Amen


RELIGION

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY RELIGIONS

This massive religious apostasy is because Satan has totally deceived the vast majority of humanity. Most Western civilization has never believed in any form of "Christianity" let alone the real christainity of Christ and the Apostles! Even within the Christian religion we are divided into three groups: Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. Not to mention all these new up and coming religions, Satan knows the secret to conquer is division

Christianity. 2.1 billion. 33.0%
Islam. 1.3 billion. 20.1%
Hinduism. 851 million. 13.3%
Buddhism. 375 million. 5.9%
Sikhism. 25 million. 0.4%
Judaism. 15 million. 0.2%
Baha'ism. 7.5 million. 0.1%
Confucianism. 6.4 million. 0.1%
Jainism. 4.5 million 0.1%
Shintoism 2.8 million. O.0%
26.8 No religion. So tell me since there is only one God what are we doing here.

Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

Father, help us “Get all the advice and instruction we can, so we will be wise the rest of our lives. Lord, we can make many plans, but the Your purpose will prevail.”  Lord, give us eyes that see with wisdom and knowledge, not eyes blurred with overwhelming emotions. Father, baptize us with the Holy Spirit, that helps us act out of a heart that follows You, not a heart heavy with worry and fear. Lord, teach us how to think with a holy perspective, not a mindset based on our own opinions or feelings. Father, give us wisdom, understanding, discernment, and the ability to recognize and follow wise instruction when we receive it. In Jesus name Amen

There's A Bright Side To Everything

Philippians 2:14-16 Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

Before you complain about a bad hair day think about the cancer patients that wish they had hair. Before you complain about needing more room, think about those that are living outside. Before you complain about what you have to eat, think about those that are starving. Before you complain about what to wear think about those that don't have that choice. Before you complain about working too hard, think about those that don't have a job. Before you complain, look at the bright side of things

Lord, we exalt You, for who You are in us. You are worthy of all our worship and praise, only You alone. Lord, we come before Your throne of grace and mercy once more, to say thank You. Father, we give You thanks for every blessings: every trial, every victory and every person we have met along life’s journey. Whether they are in our lives or not. Thank You, for the storms and rocky roads that was all designed to make us stronger, because all things that come from You always work together for our good, so we want complain. Father, let us not whine,  but, have great delight in knowing that, as Your children, when You have to discipline us, it’s always in love. Lord, eventhough You convict us, You never shame us, it's for wisdom and Spiritual growth, In Jesus name Amen

SERVANT

John 12:26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

Children of God are enthroned in His Kingdom and we are ordained as His royal Vicegerent. We are the official administrative deputy of His earthly Kingdom and our responsibilities: under this title of servants, is to glorify Him and serve others.

Lord, we thank You for a new day of grace and favor and bless those who were called home. Thank You, for keeping my children, family and friends and thank You, in advance for a peaceful day.

Father, let nothing take our focus off of You and help us always give ourselves fully to the work of You, because we know that our labor in You is not in vain. Father, let Your Spirit teach us, rebuke us, correct us, and train us in righteousness, so that Your servants may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Lord, let us walk in Your way, Keeping Your commands, obeying, and serving Your purpose, in Jesus name Amen

WE HAVE THE POWER TO REMAIN CALM

Proverbs 20:22 Do not say, “I will repay evil”; wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you.

A lot of people we hang around are not for us, they are just waiting for our downfall. As long as we are providing what they need, they will deal with us. But, when we figure out who they are, don't be bitter or anger, keep our joy separate ourselves from them.

Father, let us not repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. Lord, let us depend on You, to help us live peaceably with all. Lord let us never avenge ourselves, but leave it to the wrath of You, for it is written, “Vengeance is Yours, You will repay, those who wronged us. Father, baptize us in the Spirit, so we can be obedient to Your demands to, feed our enemies if they are hungry and give them water if they are thirsty; for by so doing they will heap burning coals on their heads. Lord, let us not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Lord, give us Your strength and courage to forgive those that trespass against us, so our heavenly Father will also forgive us, because if we do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will our Father forgive our trespasses. So, right now Lord, we surrender all hurt and unforgiveness to You, as we remain calm and joyful, in Jesus name Amen

TRUST GOD πŸ™πŸ™

Every promise in the Word, we can trust God to keep. But to receive those promises we must be submissive to Him. God wants us to rely on Him for everything, not our own strength. Because, He knows in difficult times, we fold, forget what we have learned and can't stand on our own. Our strength comes from our relationship with Christ and the more we communicate with Him, the more strength we have.

Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Good morning, Father, thank You, for keeping us and starting us on our way. Lord, we thank You in advance for the protection around our children, family, and friends. Father, we trust You to accomplish and keep every promise You made to us. Lord, we will trust You, even in difficult times and You appear to have abandoned us, we will stand on You Word. Because, we know You are working behind the scenes, correcting things from the inside out. So, when the storm comes, our faith becomes a allegiance with Christ and we will have confidence in Him regardless of our circumstances. LORD, You are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and we believe Your promises to Your servant. In Jesus name Amen

JEHOVAH RAPHA

2 Chronicles 20:9 'Should evil come upon us, the sword, or judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house and before You (for Your name is in this house) and cry to You in our distress, and You will hear and deliver us.'

Almighty God, who in thy wrath did send a plague upon thine own people in the wilderness, for their obstinate rebellion against Moses and Aaron; and also, in the time of king David, did slay with the plague of Pestilence threescore and ten thousand, and yet remembering thy mercy did save the rest. Jehovah Rapha, have pity upon us unworthy sinners, prorect us from the Coronavirus, a man made plague, that brings great sickness and death. But, we will not walk around in fear, so prepare us for what's to come and withdraw from us this plague and grievous sickness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Baptize us in the blood from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet, that covers us from all sickness and diseases. Jehovah-Rapha, God Who Heals, we come to You in this time of trouble, increase our faith and trust in Your healing power, as we take the proper precautions to prevent infection.  In Jesus name Amen

LIFE IS EMPTY WITHOUT GOD

To make it simple, life without God is an empty life. If you have not experienced a close relationship with God, you're missing life. And, like the world, life is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Ephesians 2:12 Remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world

Thank You, Lord, for waking us up today and we pray that You receive the Souls, of our loved ones that were called home. Lord, let us dwell in Your shelter and rest in Your shadow, the shadow of the Almighty. Lord, You are our refuge, in whom we Trust to save us, from the enemy snares. Thank You, for covering us under Your wings and letting Your faithfulness be our shield. Lord, let us not yield to temptation of evil and self-righteousness people. Lord, help us remain strong and in Your will, as we walk through the camps of our enemies. Father, created of all good things, fill our hearts and minds with the character and ways, of Your Son. Thank You, for providing for our needs and delivering us from an empty and dead life and making us apart of Your holy family, In Jesus name Amen


THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING OUR HEARTS TO DWELL IN

Proverbs 21:21 whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honor.

We all try to do the right thing, but life, lack of faith, and our emotions get in the way.  This is why we must stay focused on Him, daily and practice what we have learned, so it will manifest in our lives.



Lord, since You are our rock and our fortress, we worship and praise You for the sake of Your name.  Lord, lead us and guide us through this Valley of death and let us not stray off the path of righteousness.  Lord, keep Your hedge of protection around our children our children’s children and draw them near to Thee.  Lord, thank You, for our Guardian Angles, that help us walk around the obstacles and traps that the enemy has set before us.  Into Your hands we commit our Spirits, redeem us, like only You can. Lord, we praise You, for Your grace, power, and contentment to our Souls.  Lord, let the Fruit of the Spirit, remake us according to Your will.  So, we will have a purpose driven life, as a servant to You and others.  Father, You planted the seed before we were born and Your Son, is the Water and Bread that nourish us and help us grow.  Thank You, for choosing our hearts to dwell in, in Jesus name, Amen
