HE SAID NO DIVISION

God says no division because if His followers came together, there would be no stopping us. We all read the exact Words in every Bible "no division." But, we let religion, politics, and race divide God's people.

He said, "NO DIVISION." "I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."
BUT. NO ONE, not even the Church, is acting on His Word. Because if we followed Him, there would be NO DIVISION AMONG US "HIS PEOPLE."

Father. Let the Word unite us as one nation, so we will act as one and see each other as the same. Give us eyes that see us living together in perfect peace and harmony. Lord, You said if Your people who are called by Your name come together in prayer, You would answer our petition. Lord, we pray for unity that overcomes hate and division among Your children. Lord, help us act with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience toward one another, living in unity with You and each other. Father, help us lay down our differences, set aside our grievances and forgive each other as you forgave us. Lord, Intervene in our division based on culture, race, envy, or misunderstanding. Baptize us in the Holy Spirit that empowers us to change our behavior and help unite. Father, keep us focused on our shared status as Your children, so we can join together over what we have in common and not fracture over how we differ. In Jesus' name Amen 🙏

WE CAN LIVE IN THE LIGHT EVENTHOUGH IT'S DARK

 This world has been dark for centuries, but we can live in His marvelous light. When we accept Christ as Savior and walk in righteousness. The Word is the wisdom that transforms us into what God created for His purpose. Our spiritual transformation helps us strive to be more Christ-like in character. This will renew our hearts and minds, which Christ made possible by dying the death we deserved and offering us the life He lived through faith.

"We are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, so that we may proclaim the mighty acts of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light.'

Lord, You said, "Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for Yourske will find it." So, help us dedicate our lives to ensure You will protect and guide us in our times of need and provide salvation. Father, Your promise gives us life and comfort in our affliction. So, let Your Word fill us with holiness, goodness, wisdom, knowledge, hope, grace, and God's revelation for our lives. Father, give us eyes that fill our hearts and Souls with Your light for all to see, and never let our eyes see evil. Lord, You are the world's light, so we follow You and never walk in darkness. Lord, grant us humility and let Your light shine through the cracks and broken pieces of our lives, so we can be made whole in Jesus' name, Amen.

 

PRAY FOR SOMEONE IN YOUR STORM

Pray for someone when you're going through the storm and watch God move in your life. Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. You will not be burned when you walk through the fire; the flames will not set you ablaze." When the storm comes, let His Word remind us that even when the storms are significant, we can seek shelter and comfort in His promise. So do not worry about anything because our problems are already being worked on behind the scenes. So pray for someone else that doesn't know this to help them weather the storm. Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" "You of little faith, why are we so afraid?" When God has got up and rebuked the winds and the waves so many times before, He's always with us, so focus on helping someone else, and He will completely calm our storm.

Lord, we come to You praying for those in the middle of a storm. Father, walk with them through this Valley of death; hold their hands so they too can feel Your presence 🙏. Lord, touch their hearts and minds with the Holy Spirit that empowers them and strengthens their faith ❤️. Lord, do not let the waves of the world crash into them and rebuke the wind that may carry them away. Let their minds be steadfast and in perfect peace as the storm passes. Lord, You never said this walk would be easy, but You promised You are more significant than any storm we face. So, we trust that You are working for our good; even though we cannot see or understand, we trust You, in Jesus' name Amen. 

WE ARE NO LONGER OLD

Don't let your mistakes be a ball and chain around your neck. Don't let those that relive your past keep you from moving forward. Instead, start to see yourself from Jesus' perspective, and you will see how great He is in you.

Isaiah 43:18 -19 says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Lord, let our studies reveal Your will for our lives. Let Your Word crush our sinful nature and make us aware that You are entirely in control. Father, You brought us through the Red Sea, and we have faith that You will carry us through whatever we ask 🙏 in Jesus' name. Lord, You have paved roads in the desert for us, and we are so grateful 🙏. So give us eyes that see our path even when it's dark and ears that hear Your instructions around the obstacles ahead of us. Father, let our faith comfort us in this Valley of death and give us the strength to endure suffering because it's only for a little while. Lord, chastise our enemies and oppressors, pour Your wrath upon them, and serve justice on those that kill and destroy the innocent lives. Father, search our hearts and remove all smoldering resentment, violent passions, rage, insulting language, spite, and unforgiveness from us, to give You room to move in our lives ❤️. To provide us with unselfish concern for the well-being of others even in times of personal sacrifice. Give us strength and courage to carry the burden of our brothers and sisters without complaining and a readiness to forgive. In Jesus' name Amen

SOMETIMES GOD ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS FOR OTHERS BY CHANGING US

Proverbs 21:2 Every man's way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.

Sometimes we miss our blessings because we're looking for God to change the person we're praying for, but God is actually changing us, and sometimes we can't see. But, because He is faithful, He still delivers us from harm; even though we missed it, He continues to work in our lives. God always starts the change with us because we see others' faults but miss our own.

Lord, forgive us for passing judgment on others instead of praying for them and ourselves. Because we are not valid judges of our own lives, we cannot examine the hearts of others to pass fair judgment. Lord, we pray that You anoint our heads with blessings and make Your face shine upon us, Lord Jesus. Pour out Your Spirit on me, and let us dwell with You in Your house every day of our lives. Bless all our days on this earth, and bless all of our comings and goings. In Your precious name, we pray, Amen.

ADDICTIONS GRIEF & SICKNESS GIVE IT TO GOD

Matthew 6:13 - And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever.

Through prayer and faith, we connect with our Lord; when we are connected, we are healthier and happier people. Our connection to our Savior also changes our thoughts and patterns, like letting go of our old lifestyle for a new one. Studying His Word will also give us guidance and answers to life's questions. So, if there's something or someone destructive in our lives, call on our Father for help. He'll remove it. His Word reminds us that He will never put something in our path that we cannot overcome. He will never give us a great temptation that we cannot recover from with the help He has made available to us. God can cure addictions, sickness, and diseases; all we have to do is believe He can and will.

Lord, we acknowledge and face the reality that we have turned to something to fulfill us in ways it never could. So, we seek hope and help from You to heal us. Heal us from failing health, addiction, grief, betrayal, losing a job, or whatever has enslaved us; we ask You to bind and loose us from it, right now in the name of Jesus. Father, thank You for grace, bringing salvation to all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions and live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives. Thank You that no temptation that is not common to man has overtaken us. Thank You for being faithful, not letting us be tempted beyond our ability, and providing a way of escape, so we may be able to endure it. Lord, we offer You this prayer in faith heal us, in Jesus' name Amen. 

DON'T GIVE UP ON YOU

Blessed are those who remain steadfast under trial, for when we have stood the test, we will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.

God does not give up on us; we give up on ourselves. We all have those moments when we want to give up. Especially when we are Spiritually and mentally drained or not seeing the results we want. We become weary of doing good; this is why we must implement Him in every part of our lives. Because at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we stay strong in faith and stand on His Word. Also, remember that good things take a lot of work.

Father, let us be strong in faith and not give up when we are weak, so our work will be rewarded. Give us strength when we are weary and increase Your power in us. Lord, we all grow tired and weary sometimes, hold us with Your right hand and let us not stumble and fall. Lord, all our faith is in You, so please renew our strength daily. Father, let our trust in You, give us wings like eagles; so we can soar through this Valley of death. Give us Your courage to help us run and not grow weary. Lord, keep us steadfast, immovable, always abounding in Your work, knowing that in You, our labor is not in vain. Lord, please give us patience when we're anxious, love when we feel forsaken, clarity when we're confused, wisdom when we feel foolish, comfort when we are alone, hope in the storm, and peace in turmoil. In Jesus' name Amen

WE MUST HELP GOD'S PEOPLE

Matthew 24 45-47 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 

A faithful and wise servant cares for God's people, which is a great responsibility, but so are the rewards. We manifest the true character of Christ through our faith and behavior. Caring for the least of us demonstrates that we are ready to serve the Kingdom the way Christ would.

Father, there is so much that we don't understand; why the wicked go through life seemingly with ease and little trouble and others seem to be born with trouble that never ends. Lord, let us know that some of the problems we seek to avoid are what bring us to You and strengthen our faith. Which Keeps our hearts humble and compassionate toward those undervalued by the world's standards. Father, let us put ourselves in their place to help identify with their struggles and feel a deep hurt they experience when looked down upon and rejected by others. Let us be that ray of light, Your tender arm of compassion, Your gentle voice of acceptance and unconditional love, in Jesus' name Amen.

PRAISE HIM THROUGH HIS WORD AND OUR DAY TO DAY STRUGGLES

We should praise Him because of who He is: He is our Savior, our Lord, our Creator, and our Shepherd. We should praise Him Because of His attributes: He is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to every generation.

2 Samuel 22:47, 50  “The LORD lives! Praise be to our Rock! Exalted be our God, the Rock, our Savior! 50 Therefore we will praise you, LORD, among the nations; we will sing the praises of Your name.” 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 “Praise be to You, LORD, the God . . . from everlasting to everlasting 11 You, Lord, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth. You, LORD, are the kingdom; You are exalted as head over all. 12 Wealth and honor come from You; You are the ruler of all things. In Your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. 13 Now, our God, we give You thanks, and praise Your glorious name.” Amen

GOD GOT THIS

Don't worry, don't stress, don't be discouraged; God's Got This. It's all under control; it will all work out.

I don't worry about the cost of food. "God got this."
I don't worry about the cost of Rent. "God got this."
I don't worry about who will be President. "God got this."
I don't worry about what people say "God got this"
I don't worry about my children or my children's children. "God got this."
I don't worry about being alone anymore. "God got this."
I don't worry about anything I can't control. "Because God this."

Lord, sometimes life just gets us down, and we need a little encouragement; please let us take comfort in You through the Word. Lord, let the Word be a concrete reminder that You always have our backs, even when we're not connected to You. Thank You that no matter how often we get off the right path, the Holy Spirit finds us. The weapon of our warfare, we not only fight against the flesh; but principalities and the darkness of this world. Thank You for guiding us through this Valley of death and steering us around the obstacles ahead. Father, let Your grace and divine powers destroy every stronghold, every generation curse, and demonic spirit around us. Lord, when our day-to-day struggles get difficult, give us Your strength and courage, so we will not be frightened or dismayed, for You are our God. So, according to Your glorious might, we cast our burden on You to strengthen us with all power. Father, give us endurance and patience with joy; giving thanks to You, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of Your Son, Amen

WE ARE NEVER ALONE

May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace as we trust Him so that we may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. As we place our trust in God, He will continue to fill our hearts with joy, peace, and hope that overflows into the lives of the people around us.

Call someone you have not spoken to; they would love to hear from you. Visit a senior or family member that can't get out like they used to; they would love to see you. Go next door and ask your neighbor if you pick them something up from the store. We can always feed someone when we think about the leftovers we throw away. No one should feel empty, especially when God's children are around.

Father, even in the presence of others, some still feel empty; let them feel Your Spirit that makes us whole. Lord, life is hard and gets more complicated without You; please help us through this Valley. Hold our hands and let not the circumstances of our day-to-day struggles harden our hearts. Lord, let us come to You. You, who gives us wisdom and the knowledge of how to implement Your peace in our lives. Father, this world is uncertain, but You are faithful and just to those that seek You, so keep Your hedge of protection around us. Lord, give us Your comfort when we are confused or lonely. Walk with us through these trials and help us understand we can conquer this because You are with us. Father, thank You for Your divine intervention in our lives. Thank You for Your mercy, grace, and favor that helps remove our doubts and fears. Lord, help us overcome our negative thoughts by seeing things from Your perspective. Thank You, Lord, for holding us up in this season we're going through and helping us establish a spiritual connection with You. In Jesus' name Amen 

FEAR IS THE PORTAL THE DEVIL USES

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. "For you did not receive the Spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

Satan uses fear to manifest his will in our lives, But God's strength and courage can override our worries.

Father, through Your grace and love, we fear not because You are with us; we will not be dismayed, for You are our God. Let the Holy Spirit strengthen us and fill us with courage and strength to endure suffering and overcome our fears. Lord, hold our hands and guide us around the obstacles ahead of us and give us eyes that see the path of righteousness. Lord, let not Your Word fall on  Deaf Ears, but nourish our Fruit, strengthen our faith, and relationship with You. Father, help us understand that our fears give Satan access to our hearts and minds. So, let not the storms of life clutter our hearts; so You'll have room to move in a mighty way. Lord, we pray for peace, Your peace that conquers our fears and gives us strength. In Jesus' name Amen 

GOD SAYS THAT'S NOT ALL WE ARE

Yes, we can be a little bipolar and a little thoughtless, But God says, "that's not all we are." We can be a little doubtful and judgemental, But God says, "that's not all we are." We can be jealous and envious, But God says, "that's not all we are." We can be all God says we are if we receive and believe.

Do not fear. I have redeemed you. I have summoned you. You are mine". "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare, not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." "I am purposeless, but God says I was created with a purpose."

Father, You said we are Your children, who have the same birthright as Your Son. Give us the wisdom and knowledge to implement Him in our lives. Lord, walk with us through this Valley of death and don't let this world define us. Let us be encouraged daily through our studies and who You are in us. Lord, You are the Vine, and we are the branches. Let Your Word nourish us and produce much fruit, to help us serve our purpose. Lord, You gave us life and infinite joy, so keep us on the planned path. Breathe in us, Holy Spirit, and let Your thoughts be our thoughts to give You room to move in our lives. Thank You for forgiveness and for choosing us before the foundation of the world to be holy, blameless, and reconciled in Jesus' name Amen

ALWAYS PRAY FOR OVERFLOW

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Don't pray for accomplishment; that's too SMALL of a thing; pray for more. It to small of a thing to pray for a place to live; thank Him in advance for the house you will own. It's too small of a thing to pray for a job; thank Him in advance for Your business you will open. It's too small of a thing to settle for unhappy relationships; thank God in advance for the Soul mate He has for you. It's too small of a thing to ask God to help you raise your children; thank Him in advance for the Doctors, Lawyers, Nurses, and Engineers they will become. It's too small of a thing to minister on FACEBOOK; I'm thanking God for allowing me to teach to nations. Now, what are you praying for, don't let it be too small of a thing because we serve a magnificent God

Lord, let the tenderness of Your Spirit gladden our hearts and bring joy to our Souls. Father, You know the plans You have for us, a plan for welfare and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope, and we are grateful. So, Lord, we pray for and thank You in advance for our successful businesses, new homes, and excellent health and wellness of our minds. Lord, we thank You for our children being in order and functioning in the Holy Spirit. Thank You for the unity and trust in our marriages and relationships 🙏. Thank You. Lord, for releasing us from the bondage of drugs, alcohol, prescription drugs, homelessness, prostitution, and anything that separates us from You.  Lord, we recognize we need Your strength and courage to stand on Your promise, so strengthen our faith and help us overcome our unbeliefs. Lord, we pray for prosperity, abundance, and overflow, in every area of our lives and our children's lives 🙏.  Lord, thank You for forgiveness and for teaching us how to forgive. Lord, continue taming our tongues and training us to breathe our way through our emotions. Thank You for all the Spiritual Soldiers You surrounded us with and the Guardian Angels that keep us safe.  In Jesus' name Amen

COVER YOUR CHILDREN WITH THE BLOOD

Psalm 127:3. “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. 

Lord, cover my son Cornelius with the Blood from the top of His head to the soles of his feet. Drown out all the confusion around him, so he can stay vigilant of his surroundings. Lord, we thank You in advance for the hedge of protection You have around him. Lord, remove every demonic Spirit around him, every generation curse, in the name of Jesus.  Lord, search his heart and remove all that is not of You, to give You room to move in his life.  Father,  let him be anxious about nothing but petition You with prayer and thanksgiving in every situation, and I thank You in advance for hearing his prayers. 🙏 ❤️  Father, give my son Cornelius eyes that see things from Your perspective and ears that hear Your instructions around the obstacles ahead of him.  Lord, walk beside him in this Valley of death and help him fear no evil because You are with him. Father, prepare him for his daily battles and let him be happy and at peace. Father, give Cornelius the foundation of truth he needs to combat all that come against him. In Jesus' name Amen

 

ARE YOU READY

Ephesians 6:11-18 Put on the whole armor of God so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God so that you will be able to resist the evil day, and having done everything, stand firm.

Like Peter, who was still of human faithlessness and fear, he said he would face prison and death with Christ. But, Christ knows us better than we know ourselves. He knew Peter didn't have the courage and strength to endure the suffering and day-to-day struggles without the Holy Spirit. So, He explained to Peter he would deny me three times because Peter had not been baptized by the Holy Spirit yet and was not prepared.

Lord, help us become Disciples and baptize us in the Holy Spirit, so the enemy or our adversity will not sift us like wheat.  Lord, let our faith not suffer when we walk through this Valley of death and restore us from backsliding. Lord, let us "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Instead, in humility, we value others above ourselves, not looking to our own interests but the interest of others. Father, thank You for the provision and training us on the way to go. Thank You that we're blessed to be able to bless others. Thank You for keeping us through the night, and Thank You in advance for the hedge of protection around us today. So, let us be fitted with the shoes of the gospel of peace; allows us to be ready to share You with others. Lord, grant that we may be prepared to receive Christ when He comes in glory and to share in the banquet of heaven, where He lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name Amen

WHY WE SHOULD NOT WORRY

Matthew 6:33-34 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. "Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Let's see why we should not worry:  God uses trumpets to knock down the walls of Jericho. He fed over 5000 people with just a few loads of bread and fish. He reduced Gideon's army from 32,000 to 300 to take out the troops of Miriam. He cured a woman with an issue of blood just by her touch of faith. He allowed Samson to defeat a whole army with a donkey's jawbone. He helps David kill a Giant with a sling and a rock. Our God is excellent and still performs miracles in the lives of those who believe.

Lord, life can make uncertain turns, and sometimes it can be challenging to maintain a positive attitude about the future. Lord, in these uncertain times, let us not be anxious about anything. Let us have Your peace, the peace You leave with us, so our hearts won't be troubled, and we will not be afraid. Father, let us not worry about our lives, what we eat or drink, our bodies, and what we wear. Is life not more than what we eat and what we wear. Search our hearts and minds and remove all that separate us from You; baptize us in the Holy Spirit that empowers us to pursue righteousness and live a holy life. So, we cast our cares on You because You will sustain us and guide us. Thank You for Your divine intervention, and never let the righteous be shaken. In Jesus' name Amen 🙏

WE ARE CHOSEN AND SET APART

1 Peter 2: 9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

"We are set apart to God from the world," but we are far from what we should be in practical holiness. But we are still positionally sanctified through Christ, and our functional condition is to set ourselves apart daily through studying, praying, worshiping, and practicing what we have learned.

Lord, Your grace and peace are the sources of our blessings due to our acceptance of Christ. Lord, we come with thanksgiving in our hearts, and we are so grateful for the opportunity and excellent work You have done in our lives. Father, we struggle to live a holy life in this Valley of death. So, let the Holy Spirit fill us with the strength and courage to stand on Your Word when great disappointment arises.  Lord, equip us with the gifts of the Spirit, wisdom, and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives.  Lord, let our gifts and holy living confirm Your presence and work in us.  Lord, let us not be proud of our gifts but use them to build up others and Your Kingdom. Lord, help us set aside everything we think we know about You, everything we think we know about ourselves, everything we think we know about others, so we can have an open heart and mind to help us see the truth. In Jesus' name Amen

A GOD-FEARING MAN

I will submit to my man that understands submitting goes both ways. I will help support my man, and he will help keep me. I will care for him in sickness as he will care for me. I will love ❤️ my man like no other, and he will give me all I need. I will give my man space so he can be himself, and I will also appreciate my free time. I am connected to God, and my man also has a relationship with Him. I am a good woman looking for my man.

Act 10:2-4 He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was all his household; he did many acts of charity for the people and prayed to God regularly. 3 About three o'clock one afternoon, he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God who came in and said to him, "Cornelius." 4 Staring at him and becoming greatly afraid, Cornelius replied, "What is it, Lord?" The angel said to him, "Your prayers and your acts of charity have gone up as a memorial before God.

Father, help me find a God-fearing man like Cornelius, a devout God-fearing man who gave generously to the poor. A man that will live up to the light which You give him. A man who is unquestionably obedient to You will have respect, honor, and loyalty for his family and friends ❤️. Lord, grant him eyes to see life from a Godly perspective and ears that hear Your instructions. Please, Lord, bless me with the man You have for me and prepare me to receive Him.  Lord, I desire Your favor in my life. I want to live a life that is pleasing to You. I want a marriage that is glorifying to Your name. In Jesus' name Amen

RESURRECTION

 Drown out the world's confusion, hate, chaos, and sorrows with the Peace, Love, order, and joy of the WORD. Lord, help us realize today what Your death and resurrection mean for us. Forgiveness, freedom, and the ability to walk with You through this Valley of death into eternity. May we always find our satisfaction in You and Your willingness to offer Yourself to us. Amen
