DO WE REALLY BELIEVE IN JESUS

We believe fire burns so we won't touch it; we believe if we cannot swim we will drown so we won't get in the water.  We believe guns can kill us, so we try to avoid them.  We believe if we do not nourish our bodies we will die, so we eat and drink often.  We believe that certain sexually transmitted disease will kill us, so we use protection.  We believe in man, even though they have wronged us so many times before; but we still follow man.  We say we believe in Christ, but we will not pray, study His Word, worship, praise, or teach our children and our children’s children about Him.  When we believe in something, we will  do whatever it takes for whatever we believe in; so do we really believe in Jesus?

John 14:12-14 Truly, truly I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do because I am going to the Father.  Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

Lord, You know us, please help us know You; and remove all that is not of You, especially doubt and fear.  Jesus, we cannot save ourselves, but You and Your Father can save us; please Lord, we are asking You to save us.  Father, we are not asking You to prove Yourself, we are asking You to help us prove our love for You.  So please fill us with the Holy Spirit, that will compel us to obey and follow You; Jesus we cannot do this without You.  Father, examine us in every area, strengthen us in what we find difficult, to commit to in Your Kingdom.  Father, You said in Psalms 58:11 then people will say, there really are rewards for doing what is right; Lord, people will say there is a God who judges the world.  Lord, there are signs all around us, that the end is near; so we ask that You prepare us for what is to come, in the name of Jesus.  Father, we pray that we will truly believe deep inside that You will reward our faithfulness far above what we can imagine.  In the name of Jesus, Amen

Romans 8:1-39 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

OUR GREATEST SORROWS COME FROM PRIDE

Luke 14:7 When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit in the seats of honor near the head of the table, he gave them this advice: 8“When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the seat of honor. What if someone who is more distinguished than you has also been invited? 9The host will come and say, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then you will be embarrassed, and you will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table!  10“Instead, take the lowest place at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, ‘Friend, we have a better place for you!’ Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. 11For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

The transgression that caused great sorrow to the human race: fear, greed, lust, cruelty, hate, and unbelief can all be traced back to PRIDE. " Proverbs 18:12 Proud people will be ruin but the humble will be honored."  Pride does have a positive sense, a feeling of self-respect, an accomplishment, or performing a great service.  But, that type of pride that brings on arrogant behavior, or gives us a high of our own importance, is sinful. "Luke 14:11 for those who exalt themselves will be humbled"  When we think we are better than others because God has blessed us; we're wrong, we should be more humbled and thinking about how we can bless others.

Jesus when You notice us choosing the best for ourselves, humble us to Your will, so we do not make ourselves important.  Lord, let us not think too highly of ourselves so we will not be embarrassed when ask to move to a lesser place.  Father, let us mingle and give to the poor, crippled, the lame, and the blind. Then we will be blessed because we gave to those who could not give back.   Father, help us receive Your Word and give us Your wisdom and knowledge of how to use its power.  Lord, thank You, for mercy grace and favor; thank You, for forgiveness and Your strength to forgive others; thank You for provisions, the roof over our head, income, and peace.  Jesus, keep Your hedge of protection around our children and our children's children; and help us draw them back to You.  Father, continue working in and through us, in Jesus name Amen

Tasha Cobbs - For Your Glory

Grace means to get something that we do not deserve; unmerited favor.  Mercy means we do not get the punishment that we deserved; but we received compassion, forbearance, love, we received grace. God is abundant in grace and mercy and we can read about it in the Bible. His greatest act of grace is the gift of salvation that is available for all people through faith in Jesus (Eph 2:8-9).

YOUR GRACE ENABLE US TO BE MERCIFUL

Jonah 4:2 I know that You are a God who is kind and shows mercy.  You do not become angry quickly and You have great love.  I know You would choose not to harm us.

The least of us and those that have hate in their hearts depend on the mercy of others; when we see a person in need, angry or hate we are to help them, not look the other way.  What if God looked the other way when we were in need, angry or filled with hate?  Those that are blessed and that include the Churches, we are to be servants of God who extend grace to us; so we will show mercy to others.  Also, when we help the needed, treat them with dignity and respect; because when we help the least of them, we are helping Christ.  When we deal with angry and hateful people, we must use Scripture; because the Word of God brings transformation, not the word of man.  So rather than watching their pain and suffering from a distance get involved, let your time alleviate someone’s suffering, pain, anger, or hate.  When we are detached or disinterested in others needs, we are part of the problem, and one day we will reap what we sow.  The Lord gives us grace, to help free us from sin; and He blesses us and shows us favor when we show the same mercy to others.   

Jesus, You, came to this world as our Savior; Lord, You got in our Spirits by getting into our skin, literally.  Lord, You, became flesh so You could experience life through our eyes.  Jesus, You felt our pain, anguish and You know our human needs.  Lord, we need You right now, this world has become so dark; because we have turned our backs on You. Jesus, save us.  Lord, we need Your grace and mercy, to bring order to this place.  Father, we are being terrorized in our Churches and homes, because of anger and hate.  Lord, give us guidance back to Your path of righteousness; Jesus, order our young people steps back to Your grace because grace is the only thing that can save them and this lost world. Father, continue revealing Your grace to us that enable us to be merciful to those that are suffering and to those who hate, in Jesus name Amen.

JESUS DRAW US NEAR TO THEE

We are the broken, Jesus is the wholeness
We are the sick, Jesus is the healer
We are the hungry; Jesus is the bread of life
The Lost Spirits are weary, Jesus says “come all who are overloaded, and I will be your resting place,”

Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.…

Come, let’s go back to the Lord, man has hurt us, but Lord, You will heal us; our friends have wounded us, but Lord, will bandage our wounds.  Father, give us new life, through the Holy Spirit, let the Spirit raise us up; so we will be in Your presence, and develop a relationship with You.  Give us Your wisdom and the knowledge of You, Father, heal this land and it will be healed, save us and we will truly be saved.  Father, there’s no greater love than that shown by the sacrifice of Your only Son, Jesus, Your, forgiving love is one of the greatest manifestations of Your divine nature, thank You for sharing Your love with us.  Even though we are still sinners, You give us grace, mercy, and favor; please continue working with us, and draw us nearer to Thee.  Lord, we respond to Your love with gratitude and thank You for not rejecting us, in Jesus name, Amen

LET US PRAY FOR AND WITH OUR MEN

I Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

Men whether you realize it or not, Jesus is the most important person in your life.  It is more important than what you do for a living, who you are dating or married to, or what you earn.  I am convinced that Christ is the bottom line of life.  You cannot have 'real life' without Him.  When you allow God to lead you, you become a better man, the man God created.  When you become a man of God, you learn how to love, forgive, show compassion, and understand life like never before.  You will lose selfish pride and you will humble yourself to God, your spouse, and your children; but not in a weak way, but a godly way, that will build them up and draw them closer to God and you.

Lord, open the hearts and minds of our men, young and old; help them see how critical a relationship a with Jesus is for their existence as human beings.  Father, teach them to be connected to you through Your Son Jesus.  Father, let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in the lives of our men on earth as it is in heaven.  By faith, we call our men saved, sanctified, and filled with Your Spirit.  Your Word instructs that faith without works is dead and useless, so we decree and declare that our men will work to develop and demonstrate their Christian faith, daily.  We decree and declare that they will be providers and protectors of their families.  We decree and declare that as they submit to Your Word, they will be transformed into new people by changing the way they think.  Lord, we decree and declare that their belief systems and behavior patterns will reflect Your righteousness in their personal and professional lives.  We decree and declare that the light of Jesus will be reflected in their actions; as they fellowship with one another.  Lord, we decree and declare that Your favor surrounds them like a shield.  We decree and declare that they will earn, save, spend and invest money in obedience to Your perfect plan for their lives and families. We decree and declare that their finances are blessed and they are lenders, not borrowers; we ask You to keep Your hedge of protection around them and let those that are in authority treat them with dignity and respect.  Jesus, above all, we decree and declare that they are victorious in everything they do because Your future for them is filled with hope, goodness, and prosperity. Lord, we pray for all men in Jesus name, Amen

WE WILL SUFFER

We all will struggle at times, Christians and non-Christians; we are lead to believe that if we are good, kind, and loving enough, the world would be bound to treat us fairly.   Unfortunately, we will learn that this is not the case.  Jesus was perfection and He suffered horrible abuse; at the hands of those He came to save, so we to will suffer.  But, Jesus has given us the tools to deal with our adversaries and adversity; we just have to learn how to use its power.  The first thing we must do is:  receive Him as our Savior, then we must study His Word, we must also pray without ceasing, and praise and worship Him; this will draw us near to Him and develop a relationship with Him, this is how we tap into His power.  Persecution will come even if we have a righteous character and Christ-like conduct; but we can be prepared to endure it all, through Christ Jesus who lives in us.

1 Corinthians 16:15 You know that the family of Stephanas were the first believers in Southern Greece and that they have given themselves to the service of God’s people. I ask you, brothers and sisters, to follow the lead of people like these and anyone else who works and serves with them.

Jesus, You, became one with man, yet still one with God; because God was the only one who could do anything about our sins.  Father, humanity has tried to follow the Law for centuries, but sin only got worse.  Lord, You are the only way we can receive salvation, You died so we could be restored to the Father.  Lord, You demonstrated Your love toward us, while we were yet sinners, You died so we could live and seek a relationship with You.  Thank You, Jesus, for assuming the form of the race You were to redeem, who also rejected You.  Forgive us, Lord, for falling short of Your, grace and mercy; strengthen us so we can forgive those that wronged us, so will be set free and forgiven.  Amen

ALL WE NEED IS YOU JESUS

Matthew 16:24-27 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

Lord, we surrender all to You, withholding nothing; Father, bring us into Your presence, we cannot do this without You.  All we want is You, we are not after the blessings or the recognition of man; every incounter with You changes us, so everything we give to You. Father, in the name Jesus, we ask You to expose and bring into the light negative inner vows and strongholds that contradict Your Word and will for us.  By the breath of Your Spirit, release us to Your truth, give us eyes that expose falsehood, curses of self-rejection, self-hatred, and reactive hatred and bitterness toward others.  Jesus, we take up the sword of the Spirit and cut ourselves free from the bondage of generational strongholds and ungodly character, in the name of Jesus, Amen,

William McDowell - Spirit Break Out feat. Trinity Anderson (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

King David, himself a former shepherd, begins this Psalm with, “The LORD is my shepherd,” immediately putting himself as a sheep in the care of Jesus Christ (who is the same being as the Lord of the Old Testament-see John 1:1-3, 14 and Heb. 1:2). This analogy of Christ as a shepherd and His chosen ones as sheep, is reinforced in several scriptures, especially in John 10, John 21:15-17 and Hebrews 13:20. The shepherd is the provider and protector of his flock. The sheep are helpless without him. Similarly, human existence is but a sinful, carnal experience without God in our lives (John 5:30; Rom. 8:6-11)

PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

Most people want to be forgiven for their sins, but many times their request for forgiveness; leaves them without the desire to truly change, and they continue to dwell in sin.  Only when we ask for forgiveness and change the way we live are we made holy.  We need personal reformation that will help lead us to holy living.  Personal reformation is living in open confession before God “ 1John 1:9 if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.  But, when we know better we must do better if we do not practice the knowledge we have gained; Jesus will turn us over to a reprobate mind.  Romans 1:28 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, and unmerciful


Psalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.  For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me. 4 Against You, You only, have I sinned and done this evil in Your sight that You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin, my mother conceived me. 6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part, You will make me know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice. 9 Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. 13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You. 14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. 15 O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. 16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart These, O God, You will not despise. 18 Do good for Your good pleasure to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;  Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.  In Jesus name Amen

WE MUST PRACTICE TO MAKE IT WORK

The Bible contains the will of God and His plan for our lives, but we must study the Word to know it and practice the Word to make it work. 2 Timothy 3;16-17 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."

When we study and hear the Word of God; it begins to change us into the image of Christ; the things of the world are no longer necessary to us. The Word sets us apart from the world because our values are connected to the Spirit. This is why God works through the heart. We live in a system ruled by Satan; the Word helps free us from being controlled by the system; our flesh is where Satan operates, and we need the Word daily to keep the flesh at rest.   If Jesus resides in us, we have the will to resist sin and obey His Word.   He will give us the strength and power to release ourselves once we repent and ask for help. But, we must commit ourselves to Him daily; to make this work. We must pray without ceasing not only for ourselves but for others too, even our enemies: fellowship with other believers, worship and praise Jesus for His goodness. And believe in His promise. The Word will make us live in such a way people that who do not know Christ will want to.

Father, each day as we come into Your presence through Your Word and prayer, let it reproof, correct, and  instruct us in righteousness, that we may be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work." Lord, give us ears to hear the Word that will help us transform into a Christ-like character. Father, as we study the Word, let it cleanse us, so our Savior will have a place to dwell in our hearts; and the Holy Spirit will remove all envy, hate, jealousy, and strife; and replace it with compassion, love, kindness, faith and all things of the Spirit, that will help us mature and obey. Father, open the hearts and minds of those that hear us speak Your Word and let them receive what's good, "especially our children and our children's children," as we witness the goodness of You.  Lord, thank You for forgiveness and give us Your strength to forgive those who wronged us. Father, thank You for guidance, protection, and grace, in Jesus' name, Amen.

GUILT, BAGGAGE, AND COMPARISON WILL HINDER US

Three things that can hinder our Spiritual growth: guilt, baggage, and comparisons.
 Sometimes we feel guilty and undeserving, but once we accept Christ as our Savior; He does not think of us as sinners anymore, but Saints.  Jesus blood has washed, sanctified and justified us, so if we still feel unworthy; maybe it's because we are not connected to Jesus like we should be because He has paid for our sins. "2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”  Jesus not only died for our sins, He took our sins upon Himself so He could give us His righteousness.
Life can be hard sometimes, and the burdens it hands us can be so hard to bear on our own. But we don’t have to carry our baggage alone. "Psalm 55:22 “Cast our burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain us; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved”. God is glad to carry our burdens and give us the daily strength we need." But, we must ask Him for help and believe He will keep His promise.
We also have to stop comparing ourselves to what society motto of success and worthiness is; because they are serving the world's views and values, and Saints are serving the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

Father, Your, Word reminds us of the fullness of Your love for us, even when were sinners.  Lord, we still fall short of Your mercy, grace, and favor, but You still love us.  Father, touch our hearts with Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives.  Lord, do not let us hinder our Spiritual growth or blessings with guilt, baggage, or comparison.  Father, we should only compare ourselves to Christ, because the world cannot save us, only Christ.  Lord, thank You, for helping us carry our burdens, so we do not grow weary of doing good.  Father, thank You, for freeing us through the blood of Christ, so we are no longer guilty of our sins; when we repent and turn away we are forgiven.  Lord, continue working in and through us so we can grow into the people our Father, created, in Jesus name Amen

Kirk Franklin - I Smile

We all want to be happy, but sometimes trying to find happiness can be a struggle. Often times we search for it in all the wrong places or ways, when the answer is much simpler- God. 

Psalm 27 THE LIGHT OF OUR SALVATION

Sometimes when we are in a dark place, we need that ray of light that will brighten our day; Psalm 27 is that light. It is bright enough to lead us through the darkest valley. It reminds us of the salvation that saved us beyond the possibility of being lost.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid? 2 When the wicked come to me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall? 3 Though an army besieges me,  my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, even then I will be confident. 4 One thing I ask the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze at the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. 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. 6 Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; in his holy tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord. 7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. 8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" our face, Lord, I will seek. 9 Do not hide your face from me, do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper. Do not reject me or forsake me, God my Savior. 10 Though my father and mother leave me, the Lord will receive me. 11 Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. 12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. 13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 14 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.

THE FIRST COMING WAS TO SAVE THE SECOND WILL BE TO JUDGE

John 12:46 “I have come into the world as light so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness .” John 15:22 “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin  “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him”"

The first time Jesus came to earth, He came to deliver us from sin; by sacrificing Himself to save us, so we may live for Him.  Jesus promise that He will give all those who overcome the trials of their faith and follow Him, the right to rule with Him.  Jesus was the atonement that restored our relationship of harmony and unity with God, through God’s grace and forgiveness in spite of our sins.

.John 5:25-29 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself and has given Him authority to execute judgment also because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth -- those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation

Once the gospel is preached to all nations, then the second coming will be near.  There will be wars, famines, earthquakes, false prophets, persecutions, and an increase in wickedness.  The final result of the Second Coming will be the fulfillment of all the promises of the kingdom of God. Satan will be destroyed with all his followers, and the righteous who are granted eternal life will receive new spiritual bodies that are in some ways similar to the old earthly body and in some ways different.

Father, prepare us for Your second coming, give us discernment for and separation from evil.  Lord, let our actions be according to and in line with Your will.   Father, we acknowledge that Jesus Christ is our Savior; that He came to earth as a man in order to live the sinless life that we cannot live; that He died in our place so that we would not have to pay the penalty we deserve. Lord, we confess our past life of sin and living for ourselves and not obeying Your commands.  Lord, we trust You and ask You to come into our hearts, and take up residence; so You can work in and through us.  In Jesus name Amen

CeCe Winans: Mercy Said No

GOD IS NOT A MICROWAVE OVEN

When we complain that God is moving too slow to satisfy our request, our impatience is evidence of our unbelief. “ Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?”  Our patience shows our faith in God’s promise.  Our patience and faithfulness will have its great rewards for things we thought had gone unnoticed by our Father.  We must cling to our Saviors promise as we walk the ledges of desperation, suffering, and pain; so we will become deeply rooted and develop fruit.  To become like Christ is not a seven-step program, it requires patience and spending time with Him daily.

Father, help us be patient and wait for You so Your goodness will not elude us.  Lord, help us steer clear of falsehood and immorality, help us stand true and build each other up in love and faith during these horrible times.  Father, reveal to Law enforcement the serial killer in Seminole Heights that is taking innocent lives; Lord, serve justice to him and all those who have murdered, for their selfish reasons.   Lord, cut down those who think too highly of themselves, and strengthen those who are weak in Spirit.    Lord, we are Your, people; who You made in Your image, so clothe us with Your compassion, kindness, humility, and patience.  Father, help us keep our hope high, for the day of Your return is near.  Father, help us become complete with Your Son, so much that we will be indistinguishable from Him, in Jesus name, Amen

FATHER BLESS THOSE WHO

Zechariah 7:10 and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.' Proverbs 22:22-23 Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Or crush the afflicted at the gate; For the LORD will plead their case And take the life of those who rob them. Jeremiah 7:5-7 "For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly practice justice between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own ruin, then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

Father, bless those who are abused by their parents.
Father, bless those who are abused by their spouse
Father, bless the children that are sold as sex slaves
Father bless those who are falsely incarnated
Father, bless the men, women, and children that have been raped
Father, bless those who are homeless
Father, bless those who are not in their right mind
Father, bless those that are addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, and sin
Father, bless those who are persecuted because of their skin color
Father, bless those who are wronged by people they trust
Father, bless those who lost a loved one to senseless gun violence
Father, bless those who gave their lives so we can be free
Father, bless those who help the least of us because of need and not for self-gratification
Father, bless those who try to do the right thing but are weak in Spirit
Father, we ask You to bless this lost world and all Your people that dwell here
Father, serve justice to those who oppress, abuse, victimize, mistreat, torment, and torture Your people, in Jesus name Amen

USA FOR AFRICA - We Are The World

1 John 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are For this reason the world does not know us because it did not know Him
