PEOPLE SEE US AS

1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give You a future and hope.

People see us as weak and unimportant; God sees us as Fathers and Mothers of nations. People see us, slaves; God sees us as Kings and Queens. People see us as a prisoner; God sees us as ministers of His Word. So stop focusing on how people see us and meditate on how God sees us and where He's taking us.

Father, our spirits are Your workmanship, created through Christ's sacrifice for good work, that You prepared ahead of time for us.  Thank You, Lord, for Your love and grace that has given us the privilege to be called Your children. Thank You for seeking more in us than we see in ourselves. You form our hearts and minds and pull us out of darkness, thank You for allowing us to feel Your presence.  Lord, right now, we ask You to search our hearts and minds and remove all that is not of You. Lord bind every demonic Spirit around us, every sickness, disease, and generation curse, loose us from them in Jesus name.  Lord thank You, for forgiveness and for teaching us how to forgive. Lord, thank You for being the light of our lives and giving us peace beyond our understanding. Thank You, Lord, for all the blessings, lessons, spiritual growth, and  Guardian Angels you have around us. Amen

 

LOVE IS THE KEY

Not fame, not a fortune but, fruit is what we should seek.  If we seek Spiritual Fruit instead of worldly things, we would grow in love, which makes all things come together.  We can't function without love and we can't love the way we should without Christ.  

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking.  It is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs.  Song of Solomon 8:7 many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash love away.  "This kind of love can only come through Christ."

Father, let this new day bring us spiritual fruit, so we can develop Your, unfailing love by putting our trust in Your Word.  Lord, show us the way to go, we entrust our lives to You.  Father, baptize us in the Holy Spirit, let love be the first fruit we receive, so all the others will fall into place.  Let the Spirit fill us with faithfulness, so bind Your Word around our necks, chisel them in our hearts; so we can love others like You love us, even our enemies.  Lord, help us practice what we have learned, so we will be completely humble, gentle, patient, and kind, bearing with each other in love.  Lord, we are able to do this through You, because You first loved us.  So, let the Word and its principles manifest in us, so we can live a peaceful, prosperous, and righteous life, in Jesus' name, Amen.

GET RID OF THE STRESSOR WITH THE WORD

Phil. 4:6-7 Be anxious about nothing "even" Psa. 56:3 When I'm afraid "because" Luke 8:14-15 Worry chokes God's seed "so" Pro.3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all our hearts and do not lean on our own understanding

Stress will kill us quicker than anything in the drugstore. Although we know we are stressed out, we still don't know what it is, so we're at a loss for how to cope with it. We are most stressed when angry, have fear, worry, grief, frustration, anxiety, etc. No one really agrees on stress, but all medical science agrees that stress is a major underlying cause of most illnesses. 

Father, with all the chaos and confusion around us, people are becoming more stressed. Lord, we struggle with mixed emotions as our bodies and minds try to keep up. Lord, some of us are Spiritually drained, and sometimes our day-to-day challenges outweigh the truth buried inside. Father, let us remember the prayer of David "Bless the Lord all my soul and all that is within us." Lord, we praise Your Holy name. Let us not forget our authority through Your Son and give us the wisdom and knowledge to use it against the stressor. So, let the Holy Spirit grant us peace of mind and calm the atmosphere around us. Lord, our souls, are like a turbulent sea right now, and we can't seem to find our balance. So, we ask for Your strength and clarity of mind to give us eyes that see the path to healing in Jesus and Amen.

BE A GOOD STEWARD WITH GOD'S BLESSINGS

We stay in debt because we spend more than we make. But, even worse, we spend on things we don't need to impress people we don't like. Don't get me wrong, I like nice things too, but I'm not spending more than it costs to impress people who don't care. If we spent our money on God's way for His glory, we would have more. We have to make better use of our resources. We need more control over the way we spend money, for instance: how many pairs of shoes we have that we do not wear; how many clothes we have in our closet that we haven't worn in two years; how many of us can't close our lining closet, because it's overstuffed. This is unwise spending, and we all do it. Here's a challenge, only spend the money necessary for three months and see what you save. Let's stop focusing on the material things that are useless and keep us in debt and focus on the free and eternal things, like the things of the Spirit. 

"The Lord, our God, will bless us as He has promised, and we will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.'

 Father, help us be faithful Stewards who live an examined life; that type of Steward lives a self-control life. Lord, help us be Stewards that live a sacrificial lifestyle, craving the things of the Spirit and not the flesh. Lord, help us commit to selfless service, practice inclusiveness, be team players, and always be willing to give credit where credit is due. Father, let us allocate and manage Your blessings for the greater good of all, not just ourselves. Let us not think being rich makes us wealthy because this is uncertain. But put our hope in You, who richly provides for us. Father, let us follow the plan You have for us as we surrender to You the care, conservancy, planning, and management of our financial choices. Father, we also understand that wisdom is more valuable than money. So give us wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in all we do. In Jesus' name, Amen.

HE CLOSE TO THE BROKENHEARTED

God has always served His purpose through sinners like us and changed their lives like He did for us. Samson was a womanizer, Rahab was a prostitute and we are broken too. But, God loves fixing broken souls and changing the lives of the undesirables. God has always been close to the brokenhearted and loves saving those in despair.

"But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes, we are healed"

Father, when we are emotionally, physically, and spiritually broken or suffering from scarring from deep wounds, thank You for being near to us. Lord, help us stay focused on You and not give up, so baptize us with the Holy Spirit that empowers us to stand on Your Word. Lord, give us the strength to let go; give us compassion to move on from what's been lost and walk in Your way.  Father, continue working in and through us, until we get it right, in Jesus' name.  Lord, we come to You with our hearts in our hands, piece together what's missing, and make us whole again.  Father, today we come to You with the loss of a loved one; we come to You with financial difficulties; we come to You with broken relationships; we come to You with unforgiveness; we come to You with procrastination; and we come to You with all our fears and doubts, and ask that You loose us from them in the name of Jesus.  Father, bind every demonic Spirit around us and every generation curse, remove them and heal us, right now Lord, right now, Amen

DON'T TRUST IN YOUR JOB TRUST GOD

How long could you go without a source of income? If you didn’t have a paying job for a few years, would you still be able to trust that God was working everything together for your good?

16 years ago, I took early retirement to care for my mother. Then the market crashed, and I lost a lot of money. So this time, I went back to work. I did not have a steady job, but I was never broke. I had no idea that, what I was going through, was part of God, working things out in my favor. God put people in my life to help take care of my needs, and once I was still, He began to bring everything together for my good.

“The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”

Lord, I have seen You work in my life, as well as others. I fill Your presence when I get weak and hear Your voice daily. Lord, You have searched my heart and removed most of the stuff that is not of You, and Your Spirit continues to overcome my flesh. Father, I thank You for the blessings, lessons, and love You have always shown me. Thank You for binding all the things that keep me from sitting at Your feet and lose me from them. Thank You for revealing who You are in me and keeping me focused on You and not the confusion around me. Thank You for making me complete with myself and giving me peace even in the storm. Thank You for keeping the fiery arrows of my enemies from piercing my skin. Thank You for pulling the wool off the people around me, which meant to harm me, and giving me eyes that see. Thank You in advance for justice for my son and all sons and daughters who have been wrongfully killed. Thank You, Lord, for helping me become the person I am today, in Jesus name Amen 

EVERYTHING IS GOVERNED BY PRINCIPLES

Life is about the principles we live by, and the Word teaches us those principles. Therefore, the Word is the final authority for all things, and how God provides directions for living in a way that protects us from harmful thinking and behavior.

Father, help us learn the biblical principles of life and let Your thoughts be our thoughts. Lord, let the Word fill us with wisdom and the knowledge of implementing You in our daily lives. Lord, search our hearts and minds and remove all that is not of You. So, the Spirit can take charge of our thoughts, actions, words, and lives. Lord, help us love You like You love us, with our whole being, and to love others as we love ourselves. Baptize us in the Holy Spirit that empowers us to pursue righteousness, justice, and mercy for everyone, even our enemies. Lord, let COVID-19 not limit our participation in our churches' activities, and let us support our Church families. Father, bless us with the principle of gratitude because every day we wake up is a gift from You.  Lord, bless us with the principle of humanity, so no matter what, we will keep a low view of our own importance. Lord, fill our children with the principle of optimism, so they will be hopeful and confident about their future and success. Father, bless us with the principle of generosity and forgiveness, so we will help our suffering brothers and sisters and take back our strength by forgiving those who wronged us. In Jesus' name Amen 

IT LOOKS BAD BUT WE WALK BY FAITH

The Word says: "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

Who would have thought going to the hospital could be based on are you worth saving, God did?
Who would have thought that you have to wait for a month to be buried even with insurance? God did?
Who would have thought that life would change so dramatically? But, God did, that why He prepared us?

Lord, You tell us: "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly, we are wasting away, we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." This shall pass because we will stand on Your Word and walk in Your favor and protection. Because we know You are working behind the scenes in our favor. So, Lord, bind all our unforgiveness, envy, jealousy, pride, strife, addiction, and all that keeps us from sitting at Your feet and loose us in the name of Jesus. Lord, baptize us in the Holy Spirit and surround us with Spiritual Soldiers to help us through this Valley of death. Lord, bless those that are suffering financially and those that are sick. Let them see You, through all the people You have blessed, right now in the name of Jesus. Amen

NO RESENTMENT

Ephesians 4:32-32 put away all bitterness and wrath, and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, and forgiving, as God in Christ forgave you.

Some of us are stagnated because we can't get over the betrayal of a friend or a cheating spouse. But, holding a grudge will never let us move forward; we must get over it and take back our power.

Father, let us repay no one evil for evil but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. Lord, let us not hold grudges to live peaceably with all, forgiving others as our Father forgives us. So, give us Your strength to be still and never avenge ourselves, but leave it to Your wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is Yours, You will repay them. So "if our enemies are hungry, feed them; if their thirsty, give them something to drink; for by so doing we will heap burning coals on their heads." But, Lord, we will need Your strength and courage to do this; we cannot do it alone. Lord, help us practice what we have learned and give You room to move in our lives. So, we can forgive and not hold to things we cannot change. Thank You for Your understanding and for showing us mercy despite our faults and failures. Thank You for stripping us naked and clothing us with grace and love that brings us all together, even our enemies. In Jesus' name Amen

A RELATIONSHIP

 The Word says: Above all, love each other deeply because love covers a multitude of sins.  because whoever does not love does not know God

A strong relationship is built on TRUST, UNDERSTANDING, and LOVE.  A relationship with God is built on the same principles.  These three things will help us be faithful to our commitments and obligations.  Man cannot be counted on to stand by us or take a stand for us, but God can and will.  Trusting, understanding, and loving God, is the most important thing we can do in our walk, personal relationships, businesses, and lives.  When we develop a strong relationship with God, a relationship with others becomes more manageable.  

Father, You are love, and our passion for others flows from You.  Lord, You have been faithful to Your promise, even though we fall short of Your grace and are so grateful.  Lord, help the Word make our hearts pure and our intentions clear in finding our purpose in life. Father, keep our minds centered on You, so our burden will be light, and we will not get weary of doing good.  Lord, keep us on the right path, so the journey will bloom as we grow together and never lose sight of You.  Lord, You are worth all our love and respect; forgive us for not praising and worshiping You enough.  Lord, through Your Blood, You have brought reconciliation between our Father and us; thank You.  Thank You for being our Rock and Redeemer; thank You for being the source of all that's good in our lives.  Lord, of hope, may we all enjoy the peace that having a relationship with You brings and the gift of physical intimacy that You have blessed us with; in Jesus' name Amen.

WE DON'T NEED TO BRAG

 Jeremiah 9:23-24This is what the Lord says: The wise must not brag about their wisdom.  The strong must not brag about their strength.  The rich must not brag about their money.  But if someone wants to boast, let him brag that he understands and knows Me.  Let him brag that I am the Lord, that I am kind and fair, and that I do things right on earth.  This kind of bragging pleases me, says the Lord.

Father, You, give happiness to us, Your servants, because we give our lives to You.  Thank You, Lord, for Your kindness, forgiveness, and great love for all who call on You.  Jesus, teach us what You want us to do and how to respect and trust You completely.  Lord, we will praise You with all our hearts, and we will honor Your name forever.  Father, You have a great love for us, and Your Son has saved us from Spiritual death. So, we brag and boast about His sacrifice and goodness.  Lord, we boast about Your provisions, mercy, and grace; Lord, we brag about no longer being controlled by our past or our sin; and we boast about our future with You in eternity.  Father, right now, we ask You to bind everything that keeps us from sitting at Your feet and loose us.  Lord, let us walk in Your way and teach our children and our children's children the way to go.  Father, help us grow in Your knowledge and wisdom, which gives us guidance and understanding. Father, we give thanks continually and glorify only You because we will see Your marvelous light in due time.  So we pray for a humble heart so we do not practice our righteousness to be seen by man.  Lord, let us not sound our trumpets when we give to the needy but stay silent, so You will receive the glory, Amen in Jesus' name.

 

BAPTIZE US WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Matthew 28:19 Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

When the Holy Spirit baptizes us in the name of the Father and the Son, it empowers and prepares us to be His messengers. We begin to understand and acknowledge God as our Father and Christ as our Lord and Savior. We become submissive to His Word, which is the essence of our discipline and developing Christ-like character.

Lord, let Your Word baptize us in the Holy Spirit to help us become inward changed men and women. Father, thank You that Christ's faithfulness saves us, not our own. Lord, continue working in and through us to serve Your purpose. Lord, let the Holy Spirit fill our hearts and renew our faith and enkindle in us the fire of Your love. Thank You, Lord, for setting Your seal of ownership upon us and taking up residence in our hearts. Lord, strengthen our faith and empower our spiritual walk as Your Word gradually transforms us into the lovely likeness of our Lord. We pray that the Holy Spirit leads and guides us in all things and that we practice what we learned. So, we can learn to listen to the gentle promptings of Your voice as we study the Word. Give us the grace to recognize Your still, soft voice as we search through the scriptures each day and the wisdom to discern Your spiritual nudges that direct and guide us. In Jesus' name Amen

NEVER A VICTIM

We have a Personal Trainer who wants us fit for this race of life.  God knows our journey will not be easy, no matter how long we're on it. As long as we live, there will always be a battle between our flesh and spirit.  This is why we need to practice daily what we have learned. To build endurance for the unpleasant and challenging circumstances of this Valley of death.  But, when we are children of God, we're never the victim of our events. Because God always uses our circumstances to strengthen our relationship and faith.  

Philippians 4:11-12 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance, and need in any and every circumstance.

Father, we know being thankful is a powerful way to connect with You and be strengthened through our circumstances. So, we come to You with thanksgiving; please open Your ears to our prayers.  Lord, teach us how to pray without ceasing; in everything, let us give thanks, for this is the will of our Father.  Lord, let the power of our rejoicing and our thankfulness be a part of our daily practices. So, we can develop a heart of appreciation and gratitude that will sustain us through every circumstance. Lord, even though things are hard right now, we lift our hands with gratitude. Thank You for maintaining our thoughts of Thanksgiving, even when we instead complain and worry about our circumstances. Father, thank You, we are not a victim of our circumstances; because, You use everything that happens to us for our Spiritual growth and Your glory. Thank You, Father, in Jesus' name Amen

BAPTIZE US IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

Romans 15:14. The God of hope fills you with all joy and peace as we trust in Him so that we may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

People without faith will leave us at the first sign of trouble. When the Disciples realized Jesus wouldn't be delivered from His fate, they panicked and fled. Because they had not been possessed by the Holy Spirit yet.  So, they didn't dare to stand on their own. Just as we do not have the strength or courage to stand on our own.

Father, baptize us in the Holy Spirit, so You can dwell in our hearts. Lord, we abound in hope by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Lord, search our hearts and minds and remove all that is not of You, then replace it with the things of the Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, long-suffering, gentleness, faith, modesty, self-control, and chastity. Let the Holy Spirit empower our lives to produce Your Fruit.  Lord, let Your Spirit renew us daily as we study, praise, worship, witness, and fellowship.  Father gives us eyes that stay focused on You and ears that hear only the Truth. Holy Spirit, inspire us and guide us through this Valley of death. Lord,, thank You for forgiveness and grace; and keeping Your hedge of protection around us, our children, and our children's children. Holy Spirit, help be a faithful follower of Christ. Breathe into us, Holy Spirit, so His thoughts will be our thoughts and His will, will be ours, in Jesus' name Amen.

CLEANSING OUR SPIRITS

It's essential to get in touch with our hearts and Souls before performing any kind of home or Spiritual cleansing. Make sure we have a purpose, "ex: needing peace, change in our lives, financial relief, sickness, guidance,  forgiveness, etc. The first thing we must do is have positive thoughts to be successful. We can't cleanse our hearts and minds with negative thoughts or feelings. Then we have to stay focused on our purpose for cleansing and not the wickedness and darkness around us. Ask ourselves, "what are we grateful for, then answer. What do we like about ourselves, and what needs to change? Then we can begin our process through prayer.

Smudging prayers are easy and powerful mantras that can be used to remove evil Spirits, negative vibes, heavy feelings, and bad energy. We could all use some Spiritual clarity and cleansing.

Father walks through our homes and lives, binds every evil Spirit, every generation curse, every principality, and everyone around us, with darkness in their hearts. May our hearts and minds be cleansed to give You room to dwell. May our feet be washed to walk into Your path of righteousness. May our ears are censored, so we can clearly hear Your message. May our tongues be edited, so the words of our mouths bring honor to You.  Lord, cleanse us of the desires of this world and loose us from the bondage of sin 🙏. Father, let Your grace and our faith cleanse the atmosphere around our children and us. Lord, purify our hearts; let Your thoughts be our thoughts. So we can see things from, Your perspective. God of Love, we confess our sins because Your Word tells us, You are faithful and righteous to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Cleanse us with hyssop, and we shall be clean; wash us, and we shall be whiter than snow. Remove every ungodly thought, motivation, or intention that resides within us. Cleanse us so that we can be made righteous. In Jesus' name Amen

WE HAVE AUTHORITY THROUGH OUR FAITH

Matthew 16:19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

If we put our faith in Jesus Christ, we have the power and authority to bind evil and loose God’s plans in any situation, in His name. Therefore, when dealing with an evil stronghold, we must first use our inherited authority as children of God to bind the evil forces involved. After that, we can call forth Your plans for restoration in our lives.

Father,  we exercise our faith in Jesus and enforce the authority given to us, to remove every demonic Spirit, depression, sickness, disease, and fleshly desires we have right now in the name of Jesus.  Father, we use our authority, given to us by our faith in Christ, to loose our children and our grandchildren right now from the darkness of this world. Lord, fill their hearts with the Fruit of the Spirit and forgive us for not teaching them how to go. Father, we use our authority given to us, through our faith and Christ, to dismantle hate, racism, and injustice.  In the name of Jesus, we command all works of Satan in our lives to fail. Lord, we remove every root of pain and sorrow. By the authority in the name of Jesus.  Lord, we command every negative situation to turn positive. Father, from now on, we will enjoy the deliverance of Your Son, and our testimonies will abide. For in the name of Jesus, we have exercised our authority; To lose Your plan in our lives. Your goal for peace, joy, happiness, and freedom. In Jesus' name Amen 

JESUS SAID "loose him" LOOSE US LORD

Matthew 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Jesus said, "loose him" heart disease, loose them cancer, loose them alcoholism and drugs, loose them depression, loose them unforgiveness, loose them hate, loose them envy, loose God's people.

O LORD, we are Thy servants; thank You that thou hast loosed our strongholds. Let none of us be weary of doing good, so let the Spirit of depression, anxiety, and procrastination be released from us. Lord, fill us with compassion and help us loose all unforgiveness, hate, envy, jealousy, and strife.  Lord, free us from the principalities, the power that rulers the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Loose us from all sickness and disease released against our minds, bodies, and Souls in the name of Jesus. Lord, loose us from our fears and doubts that keep us from growing and moving forward. Lord, loose us from our will and emotions and help us develop Fruit; that will help loose us from guilt, insecurities, and bondage. In Jesus' name Amen

GOD WANTS US TO BE HAPPY

Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their labor, this is the gift of God

God will give us everything we need and most of the things we want; because His desire is for us to be happy. But, He also wants us to share what we have, so He can give us more. So, He warns us to never trust in our riches, only in the living God, because everything else will fade away.

Father, silence everything around us and the sinners who condemn us for our sins. Lord, turn our eyes upon Your holy Cross. Father, give us happiness and joy that only You can provide. Lord, give us willing Spirits to pursue Your truth and goodness in our lives. Hear our prayer, O'Lord; let us lay aside every weight, stronghold, and the sin that easily ensnares us. Lord, let us run our race with endurance, looking unto You, the author and finisher of our faith, who, for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at our, Father's right hand. So, a Spirit of hope will fill us with all joy, happiness, and peace in believing, in the Holy Spirit, with His transforming powers. Jesus name Amen 

FATHER HELP US PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES

Matthew 5:43-48 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 so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun rise on the evil and good and sends rain on the just and the unjust. What reward do you have if you love those who love you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same.

Praying for those who persecute us is one of the most challenging commands we have to obey. But the Word tells us to bless, love, and pray for our enemies. So, we ask ourselves, "how can we pray for someone who has harmed us?" Of course, in the flesh, we can't. But all things are possible through the power of the Spirit working through us. 

Lord, to walk with You, we have to act like You, so help us develop the Fruit that gives us Your character. Lord, today we pray for our enemies, not only to realize and forgive them; but to regain control of ourselves. Lord, baptize us in the Holy Spirit, which gives us strength and courage to forgive and move forward in the name of Jesus. LORD, let Your love flow through us and forgive us for holding on to anything that hinders our prayers, blessings,  and Spiritual growth. We release any unforgiveness, thoughts of revenge, or hateful emotions that can darken our Spirits. Father, give us wisdom as we seek Your knowledge of how to bless, love, and pray for our enemies. So, right now, Lord, we forgive those who: mocked us, persecuted us, lied about us, despitefully used us, or betrayed us. Father, search our hearts and minds and remove all thoughts that are not of You, to give You room to move in a mighty way. Father, let the Holy Spirit speak for us when we do not know what to say. Because this is so hard, Lord, we thank You in advance for victory. In Jesus' name, Amen 🙏

WE ARE A SPECIAL BREED

Matthew  27:55-56 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.  

Women are a special breed. ❤ Just like the woman in Biblical times (Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and Salome, wife of Zebedee), were there with Christ.  Their faith in Him gave them "fearless devotion, and they stood with Him; when the male Disciples denied Him and ran for their lives.

Father, we ask You to please watch over us. Give us Your strength during these following challenges in our lives. Give us, Your guidance and everlasting love, hold our hands as we walk through this Valley of death. Lord, we thank You for who You are in us, thank You for dwelling in our hearts.  Thank You for mercy, grace, and favor, yes Lord, so much favor. Thank You for ordering our steps around the obstacles that could make us stumble and fall.  Thank You for standing with us during our low moments and providing us the strength we need to overcome.  Lord, let us be capable, intelligent, and virtuous women faithful, diligent, generous, and spiritually strong. Lord, the Father, let us be loving, and excellent wives to our husband's so that they will be able to trust confidently and unreservedly in us. Father, we ask You to help us reflect Your love to each of our children and our children's children. Lord,, help us raise them in Your tender nurture, training, discipline, counsel, and admonition. Lord, we ask You for wisdom as we manage our homes, jobs and show us how to organize our days and be more productive with our time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
