WHEN WE TAKE GOD OUT

Christians that study the Word should understand the consequences of compromising Gods Word.  Throughout Bible history every time God’s Word/Laws were compromised destruction came.  The Old Testament explains how the Pharisees made perversions to God’s Laws as they added their own traditions to it.  This is one reasons Jesus was so upset as He cleansed the temple courtyard.  They were using the temple for everything, but what it was designed for (just as we are using the Churches of today).  The Old Testament is full of events of destruction after society and the government saw fit to compromises God’s Word,  for popularity or society approval.   We use to allow prayer in schools, but once we removed God the devil stepped in, now there are more killings in schools than it is in prison.  Maybe it’s because we allow prayer and Bible reading anytime or anywhere in prison.  Everything that is happening in today’s world is already written in the Bible, you would think that our Spiritual Leaders and government would step in and at least try to define the Word of God.  Are has Satan gotten that strong in our lives we can’t see how much compromising God’s Word is destroying this country and the people.


Father, forgive us for being prideful, jealous, and unforgiving people, filled with hate. Forgive for turning a blind eye to those in need, only to fill our fleshly ways.  Forgive us, Lord, for not teaching Your Word from generation to generation and losing, so many of Your children. Father, everything in Your Word, has come to pass "Whenever I hold back the rain or send locusts to eat up the crops or send an epidemic on my people, if they pray to me and repent and turn away from the evil they have been doing, then I will hear them in heaven, forgive their sins, and make their land prosperous" Father, give us Your strength, wisdom, and the knowledge to implement You in everything we do.  Father, we repent of our sins, please, prune our Fruit, so we will desire the thing's of the Spirit.  Lord, we shout out to You, let Your eyes be open, and Your ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. In Jesus name Amen

REMOVE ALL THAT IS NOT OF YOU

Take out Color and we have Human Beings.  Take out Hate and we only have love.  Take out I and we only have we, take out unforgiveness and we have peace. Take out pride and greed and we are humble.  Take out all that's evil and we have Christ.

God never take out anything we need, He will only remove what's not of Him, if we ask Him too. The Simple things that divide us are not as powerful as the one thing that hold us together, The Holy Spirit.

Father, the Word tells us "when the righteous increase, the people rejoice,  but when the wicked rule, the people groan" Lord, we are groaning and we are all being affected by what's happening in our world today.  Lord, You said if someone does not know how to manage their own household, how will they care for us.  Father, let not the roaring lion rush us like a bear, the wicked ruler of the poor people. Father, we ask that You take out the hate and chaos in the world right now in the Holy name of Jesus. Lord, take out all that use their power to oppress others. Take out those that do nothing for the least of us. Lord, take out those that govern with a racist and greedy heart and replace them with men and women of Your understanding, and love for all people.  Father, restore order to this world, Intervene in our government, and the people in Jesus name Amen

FULLY AND FOREVER REDEEMED

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

Lord, soon as we believe, Your Holy Spirit will come upon us, then we are sealed.  Thank You, God the Father, for giving us the same inheritance to Your Kingdom, as Christ.  So, search our Souls cleanse us from all that not of You, so we can be purified and reconciled. Lord, thank You, for Your sacrifice, that has released us from the bondage of sin, and corruption; so we may have Your peace here on earth. Help us get in right moral standards, so we can enjoy the life You, planned for us.  God the Son, fill us with Your Spirit, so we can become more like You, bringing honor to our Father.  So, lead us in thy truth, and teach us: for thou art the God of our salvation; on thee do we rest all the day.  Thank You, for remembering not the sins of our youth, nor our transgressions, thank You for reaching down in the pit of darkness and saving us.  In You, Lord, we have redemption through Your blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of our Father's grace.  Father, help us be filled with that same strength of forgiveness.  Lord, we have been crucified with You and we no longer live, but You, God the Son, lives in us. AMEN

WITHOUT GOD WE LABOR IN VAIN

Hebrews 6:10 says "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister"

We are created in the image of God and are designed to experience success and fulfillment through hard work! As Believers, we should view our work as an opportunity to serve God through perseverance, patience, and serve others; through a Christ-like attitude and our blessings. Now, in the midst of all that's happening, don't ever lose focus of God, because of our labor.  Don't forget it's through His power and our labor that we: purchased the new car, the new home, the promotion, the healing. We did all this through God, who strengthen us.

Father, help us understand, unless You, build the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless You, watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. Lord, help us remember that nothing is done in our lives without, You. Give us eyes that see You in everything, so we do not take credit for Your work and let us not be blinded by our labor. So, therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move us. Always give of ourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because we know that our labor in the Lord is not in vain. Thank You, Lord, for giving us ears to hear and understand the Word of truth, about our salvation through our faith and labour.  Thank You, for helping us receive Your Spirit as a sign we have been restored to our Father. Thank You, that we will be kept safe by Your, hedge of protection and our Guardian Angels, until the time of Your return, in Jesus name Amen

THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD AND WE WILL NOT WANT

 The Lord is our Shepherd; we shall not want. "Living a life of joy and happiness, with every need met." He makes us lie down in the green pasture. "He gives our Spirits rest," He leads us by the still waters, and He restores our souls, " He renews us daily," He leads us in the path of righteousness for His name's sake, "He will order our steps." Yea though we walk 🚶‍♂️ through the valley of death, we will fear no evil, for God is with us. "The fear of death is removed." Thou preparest a table before us in the presence of our enemies "although we are surrounded by enemies, we enjoy His blessings in peace." He anoints our heads with oil "to help heal our scars and wounds." Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all days of our lives, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. "Eternity and every desire fulfilled."   In Jesus' name Amen

STRONG IN THE LORD

A Believers life is watchful and sober minded, upward striving, running 🏃‍♂️ the race, and never accepting defeat. 

Holy Spirit, help us be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Help us keep on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil and our enemies. For we do not only wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, we take up the whole armor of God, that we may be able to withstand the evil 😈 in this dark world.  Lord, fastened on Your belt of truth, around us and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, help us stand with faith and never accept defeat.  Lord, let us recognize Your voice, in all this confusion around us, so we can stay focused on You. Lord, let our studies of Scripture renew us daily.  Let it breath Your profitable teaching, of reproof, correction, and training us in righteousness, so we will be competent, equipped for every good work.  Lord, our thirst is for You alone, nothing else will do, so help us walk in righteousness, bringing honor to You. In Jesus name Amen

LET US PRAY

Father, we are in a time, that only You, can be trusted Luke 21:16 "You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death."

GOD PROMISE TO HUMANITY

The Law made us fear for our lives. The Covenant allows us to choose the conditional promises made to humanity by God. The agreement between God and our ancients, the Israelites, in which God promised to protect us if we are submissive to His Word. But, God knew we did not have the heart to keep His commandments, so He gave us grace. The unmerited mercy (favor) that God gave to humanity by sending his Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. 


Lord, Come into our lives; we believe You died for us to live. We believe You live eternally in heaven and in our hearts 💕. Cleanse us from all unrighteousness, and thank You for forgiving our sins. Move into our hearts and become our Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your sacrifice; we accept Your gift of eternal salvation. Father, we know our time here on earth 🌎 is in Your hands ✋. In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our lives; in Your hands, deliver us now from every evil and bid our flesh rest. Thank You, Lord, for keeping us through another night, and thank You, in advance, for the peace and joy of this new day, in Jesus' name Amen



THE COMMANDMENTS IN PRAYER

"I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any strange gods before Me.” “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”

Lord, let us not worship false gods and help us be monotheism, believing in one God. Father, we want to love You, with all our hearts, souls, and minds, so nourish our Fruit, so we will become more Christ like, never dishonoring Your name. Lord, surround us with like minded people, congregating together treating Sunday, as the Lord’s Day. Lord, let us obey our parents as children and care for them, when they become old. Father, we know there is a time to kill, but, killing an innocent person is murder. So, we ask You to persecute those who kill the innocent and forgive those who take the life of, an unjust aggressor, to preserve their own. Father, our human sexuality is so important, so give us Your strength; to be still and not commit sins, that brings dishonor to our bodies and You, Lord. Father, let us not steal and denounce cheating people out of their: money, property, depriving workers of their just wage, or not giving employers a full day’s work, for a full day’s pay. Lord, we put those that commit fraud, tax evasion, and vandalism, in Your hands, serve justice ⚖ in Your will. Lord, let us not lie intentionally or deceive another by speaking falsehood, against others. Father, let us never, have the feelings of envy, greed, and jealousy, in reaction to what other people have, so we do not hinder our blessings. Lord, continue working in and through us and help us live a righteous life, serving Your purpose and others, in Jesus name Amen

FRIENDS IN NAME ONLY

The Word tells us " Anyone can claim to be our friend, but some people are friends in name only. Those are the people that are friends with you as long as things are going well and you are able to help them. But they will turn against us at the first sign of trouble or cross us to receive financial gain. They have wicked ways and will entangle you in them.


Father, You said, do not believe every spirit that comes to us. But test the spirits to see whether they are from You, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. Lord, please give us discernment when we choose our friends, let us see them through Your eyes. Lord, You also explained to us that "A person of many companions may come to ruin, so, keep our eyes on those that will stick closer than a brother or sister and remove everyone else. Lord, keep Your hedge of protection around us and keep those that are dishonest, back-bitters, jealous and envy, away. Remove those that keep up confusion and spreads strife, that separates close friends. Lord, surround us with like minded people and let Your thoughts be our thoughts. Father, give us spiritually wise friends, because "Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm". Thank You, Lord, in advance for removing all the demonic Spirits around us and we thank our enemies for making us stronger and better, in Jesus name Amen

THE SPIRIT CAN CRUCIFY OUR FLESH

Titus 2:11-12 for the grace of God has appeared, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly


Lord, let the Fruit of the Spirit, crucify our flesh daily. Open our hearts and minds to Your wisdom and knowledge, to strengthen our faith and help us serve our purpose. Father God, thank You for loving us and accepting us just the way we were. It is our heart’s desire to know You and to be known by You. Help us live the life You’ve called us to and be faithful to You always.

LET'S PRAY FOR THE INJUSTICES OF RACISM

Zechariah 7:9 thus says the Lord: execute true justice, show compassion to everyone. 7:10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or poor. Let none of us plan evil in our hearts against our brothers and sisters 

Father, we ask for both forgiveness and conversion as we open our hearts and minds in communal prayer. Lord, Let us pray as we reflect on the injustices of racism. Father, the face of racism looks different today from how it looked in the past. So, today we gather in the love of God and neighbors to ask You, please dismantle racism. The racism in our hearts, and our world systems. Father, Dismantle Spatial Racism and help cure the devastating impact of massive economic disparities, between our communities and the isolating of people geographically according to race, religion, and class. Father, dismantle the Institutional Racism, that discriminate in our criminal justice system, employment, housing, health care, political power, and education. Lord, You and the world 🌎 know about the Environmental Racism. That affects the poor and the powerless most, Lord, they're suffering from harmful effects of pollution and poison water. Lord, soften the hearts of the big companies and the people of power, that are causing this deadly impact on our world and the people. Lord, search their hearts and filled them with compassion ❤ kindness ❤ and understanding ❤; as we reflect on some of the injustices, resulting from all forms of racism. Lord, please dismantle the hate and fears we harbor in our hearts for those that are different from ourselves and replace it with the first two commandments: we shall love the Lord our God with all our hearts, with all our souls and with our entire minds. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it; we shall love our neighbor as ourselves. So, Your children who are called by Your name can dismantle racism, through our love and relationship, with You. In Jesus name Amen

LISTEN 🎶 FOR HIS COUNSEL

Psalms 16:7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. 8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 
God often gives us his counsel when we are quiet enough to listen to Him. Most times while in bed getting ready for sleep. We must be ready to listen at all times, because He may be ready to speak at any time.

Lord, keep us safe, for in You we take refuge. You are our Lord; apart from You we have no good thing. Lord, we are Your children, help us be noble in all Your delight. Let us not run after other gods, like the material things of this world, that only make us suffer more and more. Father, let us not pour out our Spirits to such gods or take up their names on our lips.  LORD, You alone are our portion and our cup; You make our life and homes secure. The boundary lines have fallen for us in pleasant places; surely we have a delightful inheritance, the same as Christ and we are so grateful 🙏.   Father, we will praise the You, who counsels us, even at night our hearts instructs us and thank You for keeping us. Lord, we will keep our eyes always on the You, with You at our right hand, we will not be shaken. So, let our hearts be glad and our tongue rejoices, and our bodies will also rest secure; because You will not abandon us to the realm of the dead, nor will You let Your faithful children see decay. So, Lord, make known to us the path of life; You have planned for us and fill us with joy in Your presence, in Jesus name Amen

WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE

John 15:4-5 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 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.

Mary's attitude marked her as a woman mighty in spirit, and you too can have this trait, when you commit yourself to Christ. Ask Him to make you aware of anything that keeps you from sitting at His feet, in heart devotion. Pray for the Holy Spirit, to give you a deep love for God's Word. This is what Mary cherished the Word of God spoken to her. And it is our greatest source of comfort and hope.

Father, we confess that our attitude sometimes needs an adjustment. So we humbly come before You, asking You, to search our hearts and minds and remove all that is not of You. Thank You, Lord, for all You do, please give us a heart of appreciation. Thank You, Lord, for Your sacrifice, that restored us to the Father; and set us free from the bondage of our sins. Thank You, for the suffering, You endured for our sake, please give us that same strength, to endure suffering for Your sake. Father, let us be silent, so we can hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; because anger does not produce the righteousness of our Father. Lord, give us eyes that see the obstacles, that keeps us from sitting at Your feet and the wisdom and knowledge of how to remove them. So, we can cherished the Word of God spoken to us, with the right attitude. So, the Word will be, our greatest source of comfort and hope. In Jesus name Amen

WE TRUST YOU

Recognize the Source - For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; Rest in the Source - Trust in the LORD with all our hearts, and do not lean on our own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight our paths. Respond to the Source - Honor the LORD with our wealth and with the firstfruits of all our produce 


Lord, help us recognize that You are the source of true wisdom, knowledge, and understanding; and without You, we have nothing.  Father, we rest in the fact that You are always faithful. Father, we trust You, even when the waters have come up to our necks, we know You will not let us drown. Lord, we are weary from crying out to You and our throats are parched. Lord, our eyes grow dim, waiting for You. Lord, we have those who hate us without cause and want nothing more than to destroy us. Lord, let not our enemy attack us with lies, make them humble at our feet. Lord, restore us and help us obey, so we cast all our burdens on  You. So, when disappointments in our lives start to pile up all around us, help us trust You with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding, or rely on ourselves. Help us seek You first, knowing that all the other things will be added unto us. In Jesus name we give honor to You, Amen

LET HIS WILL BE DONE

God, will not cram us with so many facts, that we are forced to believe against our will. That would violate our free agency and leave no room for faith. God has ordained that we come to Him by faith 

Heb 11:6 But He does provide us with abundant evidence so that faith is resting on the credible promises of God

Father, teach us how to pray in Your will, help us be honest with You about what we want in prayer. But, also surrendering our lives and the outcome of our prayers request to You. Father, let our prayers align us with Your will more than our own desires.  Lord, thank You for the confidence that we have toward Your promise, that if we ask anything according to Your will, You will hears us. And if we know that You hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of You. Lord, let Your will be a shield around us, as we glorify You, who lifts our heads high. Thank You, for choosing our hearts 💕 to dwell in and Baptisting us with the Holy Spirit, so Your will can be done in our lives, in Jesus name Amen

FAITH OVER FEAR

Psalms 56:3 When I am afraid I put my trust in You.

Physicians, as everyone knows, are less subject to be attack by disease than anyone else, because physicians DO NOT FEAR DISEASE. Physician are without fear or hesitation when it comes to sickness, they have been known to physically be in contact with hundreds of people, daily, who were suffering from all kind of contagious diseases without becoming infected. Their immunity against disease consists, largely, but not solely, on their absolute lack of fear. Our fears or lack of fears will determine our financial, business; profession, or social destiny. God says have no fear.

Lord, You are not the source of fear and anxiety, that is Satan’s realm. Lord, let us not torment ourselves with worrisome thoughts or burden our hearts with fretfulness and unforgiveness. Lord, You, dwell in us, so we should not fear, because You are the God of courage and strength. So, weaken our flesh and give us power over our fears. Help us remember, when fears and anxiety comes that You are a good God, faithful and true and You will help us challenge our fears, with Your Spirit of courage and strength. So, fill us with life-building truth instead of destructive thoughts of fear. Lord, letYour courage and strength guard our heart and help us to focus on what the Holy Spirit is doing in our lives and starve the flesh. Thank You, that we are not alone in our fight against fear; we have the Holy Spirit and the angels, standing with us. Thank you, Lord, for helping us overcome our fears, in Jesus name Amen

Monday, September 7, 2020

PRAY IN HIS WORD

Lord You are our light and our salvation; whom shall we fear? Lord, You are the strength of our lives; of whom shall we be afraid? Father, when the wicked, even our enemies and foes, came upon us to eat up our flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though an host should encamp against us, our hearts shall not fear: though war should rise against us, in this will we be confident. For in the time of trouble You shall hide us in Your pavilion: in the secret of Your tabernacle shall You hide us; Lord, set us up upon a rock. Lord, now shall our heads be lifted up above our enemies round about us. Hear, us O" Lord, when we cry with our voices, have mercy also upon us, and answer us. Lord, hide not thy face far from us; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been our help; leave us not, neither forsake us, O God of our salvation. Teach us thy way, O Lord, and lead us in a plain path, because of our enemies.  Deliver us not over unto the will of our enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against us, and such as breathe out cruelty. So,, we wait on You, Lord: and be of good courage, and You shall strengthen our hearts, in Jesus name Amen.

NO MATTER WHAT BELIEVE

Sarah did not believe God when He said He would make Abraham the head of many nations through her a woman of 90 years. But nine months later God kept His promise to Abraham and a son was born (Gen. 18:14)

Things that we find impossible to do, God finds very easy to do. Especially when we have faith and stand on His Word. We do not have to understand how He will fulfill His promise to us, we have only to believe that he will.

Thank You, Lord, for helping us make it through this difficult year. Thank You, for Your hedge of protection that carried us through the uncertainty of deep waters, through the flames of trials, through the firey arrows of our enemies, through the pain of hard losses, and the betrayal of friends. Lord, we need Your grace, Your strength, Your courage, and Your love, that gives us power. Father, help us keep our focus on You and not the hate and destruction around us this season. Please Lord, forgive us for giving too much time and attention to other things and for looking to people before coming to You first. Thank You, Lord for saving us and giving us a new life of, peace, hope, joy, and favor. Thank You, Lord, that Your power is made perfect in our weakness, so help us stand on Your Word, especially when we are waiting or under attack with faith. In Jesus name Amen

UNITY WITH CHRIST HELPS US UNITE WITH EACH OTHER

Unity among believers comes from our union with Christ

Lord, we are grateful that we can be a part of Your family. Help us, live in unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ, so that others may see Your goodness through us. Father, let Your Spirit of love override the hate and lies coming from our government, that You put in place to govern us. Lord, we ask You to bring order to Your house and remove all that is not of You. Lord, if there was every a time to pray, the time is now. So, deliver us from the striving of the people and make us the head of heathens. Lord, hear us in these times of trouble, save the people from the evil within and let not scare tactics weaken Your people. Father, we pray for unity in our Country today, as we come together on one accord, to rid our Nation of hate and division. Lord, we know, where two or more are gathered in Your name, You are with us.
