Old School Church Songs Mix Volume III Churchin On Sunday Morning!

God always enables us to do whatever He requires, yet there may be times when we’re afraid to obey Him because we don’t know what will happen as a result. Sometimes obedience is costly, but it will all work out in our favor; if we believe and be patient, and He will deliver us.  If we’re going to say yes to God, we must believe what He says. Hebrews 11:6 says, “He who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” The Lord loves us and has chosen the best path for our lives if we will follow Him. But unbelief is the enemy of obedience, and the consequences of rebelling against Him are terrible.  If we believe in His promise He will carry us a mighty long way,  Amen

FITTED WITH READINESS

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

Father, Your Word gives us correction, guidance, and every lasting life and we are so grateful.  Lord, thank You for dressing us in full body armor so we can stand firmly on Your Word.  Lord, thank You for the buckle of truth, so we have wisdom and knowledge  can witness the Truth to others.  Father, thank You, for our breastplate the leads us to the path of righteousness and allowing our feet to be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  Thank You, Lord, for our shield of faith that baptist us in the Holy Spirit and extinguish all the firey arrows of our enemies and the evil one.  Thank You, Lord, for the helmet of salvation that delivered us from the power of sin and the sword of the Spirit, which give us Christ-like character, in Jesus name, Amen

HOW MANY TIMES HAS GOD BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO YOU

People have taken advantage of us, crossed us, and lied on us, but we still trust man more than we trust God.  So, why are we afraid to become vulnerable to God, who has been faithful in our relationship.  Could it be we really do not believe what we cannot see, or what we say?  God is faithful to His Word, He will do just what He said; He will never take advantage of us.  Not one promise He made that He has not kept to us when we are in trouble; we can completely rely on God's promise because He is faithful.

1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Father, baptize us with the Holy Spirit and remove all doubt and fear; because You have been faithful, even though we have been faithless.  Lord,  You are a faithful God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love You and who is submissive to Your Word.  Father, You said, "If we confess our sins, You will be faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  So, we come to You and confess we are sinners, and receive Christ as our Savior.  Lord, we believe You died on the cross to save us from sin and reconcile us to the Father.  Thank You, Lord, for forgiveness and grace, praise be to You; who has given us peace in a world filled with wickedness and evil, in Jesus name, Amen

HE CREATED IT AND HE CONTROLS IT

Colossians 1:16"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him

God is sovereign, which means He's ruler of the universe and all that exists; it also means that nothing is beyond His control, evil, death, blessings, relationships, and punishment all happens within God authority.  There is no one like Him; no other God but Him and we must love Him wholeheartedly, just as we should love our neighbors.

Father, Your Son,  is the radiance of Your glory and the exact representation of Your being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for our sins, He sat down at Your right hand of the Majesty in heaven.  Lord, You have absolute authority, while we have a limited authority in different areas of life.  Father, You have provided faithfully for Your creature in general and for Your people in particular.  Lord, You have the power to do whatever You please, but we know You will never contradict Your nature or not keep Your promise.  Father, we know You will meet all our needs and will give us perseverance through our trails; no matter how overwhelming or impossible it may seem.  Lord, Your mercy paved the way for our redemption, and we are so grateful,  in Jesus name, Amen

LET US BECOME DISCIPLES

The principle of Discipleship is our unreserved commitment to Christ.  This involves holding loosely to the material things of this lost world and self-centeredness.

Luke 14:33 In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything cannot be my Disciple

Father, help us become Disciple of Christ, who will go out and spread the Good News to all that needs to hear.  Lord, You invited us to proclaim Your gospel of hope and salvation at home and to all peoples. Teach us to be faithful Disciples in word and in action.  Lord, help us respond wholeheartedly to Your will without weaving.  Lord, You have given us every spiritual and material blessing. Show us how to share our gifts with others, and inspire us always to follow Your example of generous self-giving.  Father, remove the scales from our eyes and lift the indifference from our hearts, so that we may see Your vision a new reign of justice and compassion that will renew our hearts and minds that will transform our lives, so that we may accomplish Your purpose.  In Jesus name Amen

LORD WE DO NOT DOUBT YOUR LOVE OR WHO YOU ARE

John 10: 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”  25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me. 26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.”

Never doubt the love of Christ or who He says He is, He died because He would never abandon His flock or His mission.  Jesus is the Messiah, that why the Pharisees were repeatedly trying to kill Him because they knew Him not.

Father, we can become one with You as well, through our love for Christ.  Lord, help us to love others, the way You love us, and continue to give us guidance and protection.  Father, Loving others is our gift to You and all the deserving souls we cross.  Lord, as we start our day, fill our hearts with joy; give us correction and direction, through this valley of death.  Lord, we know loving You with all our hearts, minds, and Souls; would result in a better way of life filled with love.  Father, Baptize us in Your Spirit so we will obey Your first two commandments; the two commandments that are imperative to living for Christ.  Lord, everything we do, say, and think about would be filtered through the love we have for our Father and to do His good will. While this first command makes perfect sense to our calling, the second command may be a little harder for some of us to understand or put into practice. So give us the strength and courage we need to be submissive, in Jesus name Amen

THE FOUNDATION TO LIVING A RIGHTEOUS LIFE IS SELF-CONTROL

Self-control comes with wisdom, discipline, and understanding.  Spiritual wisdom is not human intelligence, spiritual wisdom is that God-given ability to use our intelligence to practice what we have learned from the Word.  Discipline is the ability to do what the Word says, rather than what our flesh desires.  It is so easy to opt out for what everybody else is doing, even though we know it's wrong.   Understanding comes from knowing the Word, we have no problem doing what's right once we have determined what right is and the Word of God tells us what's right.  Once we have self-control taming our tongue is durable, being faithful in our marriage become easier, fornication becomes less of a desire, and we will be able to forgive those who wronged us.

2 Timothy 1:7 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.

Father, give us self-control so we will not be slaves to what controls flesh. Food, lust, money, our words, fornication, adultery, or anything of the flesh.  Lord, let us not find ourselves overwhelmed with the consequences of not having self-control in all areas of our lives.  Father, help us understand, self-control is the very foundation for living a life of righteousness and selflessness that reflects Jesus and brings glory to God.  Lord, we have the power to bring sins under control, by receiving Christ as our Savior and being submissive to the Word.  Lord, when we are struggling with self-control let us get in the Word and allow Scripture to change our hearts and minds.  Lord, Your Word has the power to give us control over our choices and when we choose to meditate and memorize the Word, we will be reminded of the truth in our moment of losing self-control and we will be able to make the right decision! So Lord, help us take small steps each day to bring our thoughts and actions into line with Your plans for our lives, in Jesus name, Amen

COME AS YOU ARE DOES NOT MEAN STAY AS YOU WERE

1 Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

When we walk in the will of Christ, He cleanses our hearts and minds; so we may receive His wisdom and knowledge, to implement it in our lives.  Once we receive Christ change is inevitable; we cannot receive our Savior and remain as we were, it is impossible.  Believers should not be deceived into thinking that they have the liberty to live as immoral as they please

Father, do not let us be mastered by any appetite of this world but be lead by the spirit; so Christ will be Lord of our lives.  Father, we have accepted Christ as our Savior, please baptize us in the Holy Spirit; so we can receive the Word and it's transforming power.  Lord, fill us with the fruit self-control so we can flee from sexual immorality and all other sins we commit outside our body.   Lord, let us not be religious fanatics, but inward changed men and women; who develop Christ-like character, so You may work in and through us.  Father, let us not be deceived that we can willfully continue to live a life filled with sin and receive Your  promise, in Jesus name Amen

JEHOVAH-RAPHA GOD OF HEALING

James 5:13-16 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working

God wants us to pray just as Jesus prayed as a man; Jesus prayed without ceasing, day and night.  Jesus tells us that we are suffering and we should pray for healing, but this is not referring to a physical sickness; He’s talking about a Spiritual sickness caused by; misfortune, unforgiveness, poor choices, or generation’s courses.  But, remember prayer is not a magical guarantee of spiritual healing, but the Word says “prayer offered fervently by a righteous person, God will respond in a way that serves His purpose.

Jehovah-Rapha, we are spiritual sick and suffering, but You are the God who heals and has intimate knowledge of our pain and suffering.  So we ask You for hope, comfort, healing, and Spiritual growth; give us a strong desire for the things of the Spirit.  Father, You said “if we listen carefully to the voice of the Lord our God and do what is right in His eyes if we pay attention to Your commands and keep Your decrees.  You will not bring on us any of the diseases You brought on the Egyptians, for You are the Lord who heals.  So we lay all spiritual and physical sickness at the altar with faith that You will keep Your promise and heal us.  Father, we ask that You remove every generational course and all demonic spirits from around us, our children, and our children’s children; and all the obstacles that hinder our blessings.  So search our hearts and minds and remove all that would keep us from sitting at Your feet.  Baptize us with the Holy Spirit that will compel us to do good, be forgiving and honor You, in Jesus name, Amen

James Fortune & FIYA - I Trust You

Our Only Savior
Isaiah 43:1 But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine

Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. … For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). I believe that the Word of God is faithful. So I will act in accordance with His Word, put aside these worries and troubles, and live a free and liberated life.

TRAILS ENCOURAGES US TO SEEK GOD

Have you communicated with God yet, if not here are somethings you might want to talk about. When we need help with:  developing patience in suffering (James 5:7-20); discerning heavenly wisdom and warning against worldliness’ (James 3:13-4:17); taming our tongues (3:1-12); avoid cliques and playing favorites, especially in Church (James2:1-13); stop listening and talking and start acting (James 1:19-27); and relating faith and work (James2: 14-26).  It just so happen that anything we are dealing with in the flesh, there's a cure for it in the Spirit.  Speak to Christ daily and You will find what I am saying is true.

Lord, give us a strong ethical emphasis that is consistent with the moral teachings of Christ.  Father, give us a strong desire to study Your Word and allow it to be a source of exhortation, comfort, reproof, and encouragement; so open our hearts and minds, that we will receive You.   Father, help us in our areas of need: developing patience in suffering; how we should treat the least of us; discerning heavenly wisdom and wickedness’; taming our tongues; stop talking and start acting; relating our faith to work; avoiding cliques and playing favorites, especially in Church.  Lord, teach us not to let religion or the lack of self-control oppress us; and let us not speak uncontrollably or preach false teachings that led to a misunderstanding of the Truth.  Father, let us not show favoritism to the wealthy or have a selfish ambition that leads to murder, hate, envy, and strife.  Father, Your Word tells us that “ You give wisdom generously to those who ask for it,  Lord, give us Your wisdom to avoid internal and external conflicts that creates division, hate, and dissension.  Father, help us put our faith in action, by expressing it through good works and moral ethics.  In Jesus name, we pray Amen

FORGIVE SO WE CAN LIVE

Genesis 50:15When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.” 16So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, 17‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”  19Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 20But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. 21Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

Sometimes the evil that our so-called friends commit against us, can actually be for our benefit.  So often God's goodness comes disguised as pain, a crisis, a loss, a break-up, or betrayal. 

Father, help us understand the importance of forgiveness especially family members.  Lord, let us understand when children of God insist on quarreling with each other, we do not reflect the Christ-like character in us.  Father, there is nothing that You will not forgive us for, so we too must forgive others no matter what wrong they caused us.  Lord, help us show Your love and forgiveness in our action to those that wronged us.  Father, let us forgive readily, so our service to all will be possible even our enemies.   Jesus, thank You, for forgiving us and dying in our place so we could have a relationship with our Father.  It is Your name that we pray, Amen

LOVE LOVE LOVE GOD IS LOVE

Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations

Love gone one step further is grace, God's grace is unconditional love that only God can give us.  God does not give us His unconditional love, because we deserve it, but because He loves us and want to have a relationship with us, even though we're still sinners.  God is Greater than any religion, any man. God watches over the world because the world is a troubled place.  God who spoke to Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammad in ancient times is speaking again:  God has spoken again because religion has failed to find its unity, except amongst a very few individuals and organizations.  God is speaking to humanity anew, proclaiming a warning, a blessing and a preparation for a new world reality, clarifying the reality of God’s Presence and providing a Divine answer to the growing crises of war, environmental destruction, religious conflict, human suffering and poverty now escalating across the world.God loves us. We know that in our minds, but often we don’t live that way.  But the reality of God’s love surrounds us day by day

Father, You have searched our hearts, and You know us. You hear our thoughts, You know our needs and breathe Your life into our dreams.   Father, we know You want to give us the desires of our hearts.  Lord, You are a loving Father, we can share our every hope, every feeling and every dream with You.  Father, Your heart is full of wisdom, truth, and love; You lead us to enjoy the beauty in creation, to engage each day with love in our hearts. Lord, teach us to live lives brimming with Your love and goodness.  Father, we are so blessed to live in Your care. Thank You that You guides us into true love and happiness by Your gentle hands. Lord, we choose to give our lives to You each day, in Jesus name Amen

DO NOT FRET BECAUSE GOD IS IN CONTROL

Exodus 14:13-14  And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today.

God led the Israelites out of slavery, He brought them to the Red Sea. As the army of Egypt approached from the rear, the Israelites saw the Red Sea in front of them and mountains to the sides. They saw no way out! But God is not limited by impossible situations. God knew what Pharaoh would do and He knew what He was going to do before the Israelites reached the Red Sea. When God is on our side, we do not need to fear or fret, because God is always in control.

I pray Jesus, will defend you against all conspiracy and protect you from the fiery arrows of the enemy, you will walk through the remaining days of this year in prosperity, love, and peace.  May your life be secured by the blood of Jesus, you will see the downfall of anyone who wishes you evil, your life will shine like the sun by day and become bright like the moon at night, no evil hand will cover your glory because you are a child of God.  in Jesus name, Amen

PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH

What we teach others we must be able to live ourselves, we teach that the path to peace is trusting God.  But, when we face difficult times we seem to forget what we taught.  When we can stand on God’s Word in times of adversity in peace, we can spread that peace to others because of peace rules in our lives.    We live in a world where peace is not easy to obtain, with day to day life struggles; hate and racism spiraling out of control, not to mention unfair housing and job opportunities.  Where do we find peace, in Christ?

Job 4: Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees;5 But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; It touches you, and you are troubled. 6 Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope? 7 “Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?  8 Even as I have seen, Those who plow iniquity And sow trouble reap the same. 9 By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger, they are consumed. 10 The roaring of the lion, The voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken. 11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

Father, give us Your strength and courage to practice what we preach so others will see You in us.  Lord, help us believe in what we teach so we can convince others to follow You.  Father, when we stumble and fall Your Word helps lift us up and it gives us the strength to continue carrying our cross.  Lord, give us Your courage so we will not be discouraged or dismayed, but let our confidence in Your promise keep us from wavering.  Father, the hate, and racism in America are spiraling out of control, please intervene so we do not kill each other; because of fear, envy, and strife.  Father, we pray for our Leaders: community, state, county, legislative, executive, and judicial branches; Father, give them Your love for the people and keep them on the path of righteousness.  Lord, let them not be self-serving or self-righteous, but humble, compassionate, and kindness.  Lord, thank You, for Your blessings and forgiveness, in Jesus name Amen

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BEGINS AND ENDS WITH CHRIST

We were created to serve and have a relationship with God and others; however, our sins separated us from the Father,  So how do we be restored to the Father, our new relationship with God will come through our faith in Christ and our obedience will come from our love for Him?  Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.  Even though we are still sinners, God still desires to have a relationship with us; so He sent His only Son to deliver us from the bondage that keeps us from Him.  But to have a meaningful relationship with God requires knowledge of Christ and the more we know Him the deeper our love grows.

Father, You created us for a relationship with You, nature, and each other.  Lord, You know our future, You laid out the universe and You planned our lives before we were born.  Through Your Word, we have gained wisdom and the knowledge to implement Jesus in our daily lives.  Father, You are faithful in our relationship even when we are not; so please forgive us for falling short of Your mercy grace and favor.  Father, Your Son, is our source of life, our guidance, protection, Savior, and we worship Him in Spirit and Truth.  Father, You spoke to our ancestors through the prophets many times and in various ways; but You speak to us through Your Son (Word), whom You appointed heir over us.  So Father, baptize us in the Holy Spirit so we will be obedient, in Jesus name Amen

HAVE YOU RECEIVED CHRIST

Some people, who have received Christ as their Savior, do not practice His teachings; because they received Him for other people reason, and the reason has nothing to do with Christ.  Some join to impress their spouse, when Candidate runs for office they always join a Church, some join looking for a relationship, but not with Christ, and some join to improve their social status.    Just like most believers, only pray when they are having problems or sickness.  But, God never intended for us to be His casual acquaintances; He wants us to be His followers, fully dedicated building up His Kingdom and lifting up others.

Deuteronomy 10:12, 16 Respect the Lord your God, and do what He has told you to do.  Love Him.  Serve the Lord with your whole being.  Give yourself completely to serving Him, and do not be stubborn any longer.

Father, we acknowledge Christ as our Lord and Savior; we affirm that He is our Master and we are dedicated to practicing His teachings, serving, and glorifying Him.  Father, our deepest desires is to be obedient to You; so open our hearts and minds and fill us with Your Spirit, that will help us be submissive to You.  Lord, we ask for Your guidance not for our gain, but for Your glory.  Lord, help us speak, act, and think in a way that will attract others to You.  Father, we understand that our Spiritual walk is more than an escape from hell; it is a lifestyle of obedience which results in peace, happiness, and joy, in Jesus name Amen

Father Can You Hear Me by Tiffany Evans, Terrel Carter, Tamela Mann, and...

1 John 5:1Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone loving the One having begotten Him also loves the one having been begotten from Him. 2By this we know that we love the children of God when we love God and keep His commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we should keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 4For everyone having been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory having overcome the world: our faith. 5Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God? 6This is the One having come by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and by blood. And the Spirit is the One testifying because the Spirit is the truth. 7For there are three bearing testimony of the Spirit and the water and the blood and these are three in one

LORD WE PRAY FOR WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE

1 King 3:10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for both wealth and honor so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”

When we pray for the things of the Spirit, God will freely bless us with what we asked.  When we ask for wisdom and knowledge, with faith God will respond to our request.  When we pray for the things of the spirit, God will not only bless us with what we asked for, He will also bless us with the things that we need and did not ask for

Father, give us Your strength and courage to face serenely the trials and enemies we battle daily; with unwavering faith in You that we will triumph over evil.  Father, we understand that when we pray for the things of the Spirit, You hear and honor our prayers, so let the Holy Spirit utter for us what we cannot say.  Lord, let us not be silent about injustice, let all Christians/believers come together and stand in Your name against hate and racism.  Lord, we are not asking for anything else but what You have for us. WE thank You, for Mercy grace and favor as well as life health and strength in Jesus name Amen

WATCH OUT FOR FALSE TEACHINGS AND EVIL HEARTED PEOPLE

Romans 15:30-Brother and sisters, I beg you to help me in my work by praying to God for me.  Do this because of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love that the Holy Spirit gives us.  Pray that I will be saved from non-believers in Judea and that this help I bring to Jerusalem will please God’s people there.  Then, if God wants me to, I will come to you with joy, and together you and I will have a time of rest.  The God who gives peace be with you all. Amen

When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, it converts us from the flesh to the Spirit; we become His Saints and servants, which is the fruit of the spirit.  Once we receive the Word, the love in us will flow from the Spirit; and gives us the power to forgive; the power to lead others out of darkness,  the power to have peace in the storm and the power of discernment of false teachings.  Jesus prayed consistently for others salvation; so let’s strive together for greater strength in our prayers for others; this is our purpose to help Christ in His works.

Lord, hear our fervent prayer, that we will be preserved from the power of the enemies of Christ and ourselves.  Help us receive the Truth of the Word that will convert us into believers and followers of Christ.  Thank You, Lord,  that we can receive Salvation, even if we do not obey the Laws; through our faith in Jesus Christ, that fills us with His Spirit and compel us to live by the Word.  Father, search our hearts and remove the hate, envy, jealousy, and strife that comes from serving the flesh and this world; and replace it with the things of the Spirit so we will become the people You created.  Lord give us eyes that see those who come to cause division among us and upset others faith.  Lord, give us ears that hear those that teach against the Truth; those people that are not serving You but are doing what pleases them.  Father, let not their fancy talk fool the minds of the weak and those who do not know their evil.  Lord, help us be wise in all that is good and innocent of what is evil and may Your grace be with us, in Jesus name Amen
