WITNESS TO THE WORLD

Seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to us.

We don't have to become Preachers, but we all have the responsibility of leading as many people to Christ as possible, starting with our families. When we govern our lives with God's purpose in mind, we live a more blessed and meaningful life. To lead people to Him, we have to know Him, and we do this through study and prayer.

Father, teach us how to study Your Word daily to maximize our wisdom and knowledge of You. So, we can teach and lead others to You as we mature spiritually. Lord, give us the courage and strength to overcome our fears and doubts as we witness for You in this Valley of lost Souls. Let, Your Word give us discernment so we never miss the opportunity to rekindle someone to You.

I AM THANKFUL

Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all His benefits; who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.

I'm thankful that I woke up this morning in my right mind. I am grateful for where I am and who He is in me. I'm thankful for the Spiritual Soldiers and Guardian Angels that protect me from my enemies. I'm thankful for my children and my children's children's Father; help us teach them the way to go and give them eyes that see Your path and purpose for their lives. Hold their hands through this Valley of Death as they walk with and grow closer to You. Lord, I'm thankful for good health, stewardship, a more robust prayer life, and relationships with You. Thank You, Lord, for Your blessings on my life. You have provided me more than I could ever have imagined and helped me bless others. You have surrounded me with people who always look out for me. You have given me family and friends who bless me every day with kind words and their actions. Father, I am thankful that You chose my heart ❤️ to dwell in, in Jesus' name Amen 🙏 

ALL HE NEED IS YOUR TIME

Philippians 4:6 Spending time with God can be a time to give thanks to Him for the many blessings He has given you.

Our Lord only asks us to do one thing "spend time with Him, and everything else will fall into place. When we spend time with Him, we have access to His presence and power. With so much chaos in our atmosphere, we must communicate with our Lord daily, so we are not distracted and pulled away by our flesh. Spending time with God in study and prayer positions us in a place where He speaks to us.

Lord, quiet the noise around us when we study and pray, so we can hear You speak. Lord, we pray on behalf of Your will here on earth, so let us partner with You through prayer and let You will be done. Teach us how to forgive as often as You forgive us. Lord, we come to You in awe of Your greatness 🙏 help us with our unbelief as Your presence strengthens our faith. Father, give us a strong desire to spend time with You and a willingness to incorporate You into our daily lives. Lord, let the time we spend with You draw us closer to You. Let it refresh our Souls and restore our peace and joy. In Jesus' name Amen

 

IS YOUR SEED BEARING FRUIT

The wayside, the rock, the thorny, or the good ground, which are you. The wayside hearer hears the teaching, but it lies on the surface and is taken away before the seed can be watered. The rock hears the Word but doesn't break the shell, so it can't be watered and takes no root. So, the seed withered and died. The thorny hearers are okay for a while, but the world 🌎 quickly chokes out the Spirit. But the good ground a true believer not only receive the Word their lives become molded by the Word.

Lord, let us not be trampled by men and devoured by birds. Father. Let the Word crack the shell of our hearts, so our seed can receive nourishment and take root, so our Souls don't whither and die. Help us practice what we've learned, so the wisdom will manifest in our lives and not be choked by thorns. Lord, help us be inward-changed men and women who believe wholeheartedly in the Word, so we will develop Christ-like character. Lord, teach us how to apply the power of Your promise when we sow, so our seeds will bear fruit. Lord, we are Your farmers, and we are here to scatter Your Spiritual seeds across this field called life 🙏 The seeds of joy, peace, compassion, kindness, self-control, and love. Lord, nourish our seeds with Your grace, so when the sun rises, our seeds will bear fruit at harvest time. In Jesus' name Amen

THANK YOU LORD

Every morning and evening we should speak to our Lord to sing songs of thanks and praise to him. 1 Chronicles 23:30 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.

Good morning Kings and Queens let us pray. Thank You, for today and for the gift of life. Thank You, for the wake-up call in our right minds. Thank You, in advance fir walking with us through this Valley of death and steering us around the obstacles ahead of us. Thank You, that we have a place to sleep, food to eat, and financial relief.  Thank You, for the order in our lives and homes. Thank You, for our children 🙏 and thank You for helping us raise them in the way to go. Lord, teach us how to breathe and forgive those that wronged us. Father, let Your thoughts be our thoughts to keep us focused on You and not the confusion around us. Lord, thank You for our blessings and let us not judge others for their blessings 🙏.  Father, thank You for taking care of our families, friends, enemies, and ourselves. So, go before us and today and set our path as we witness for You through our compassion. Kindness, goodness, and love for those we fo not know. In Jesus name Amen 🙏 

DON'T LET IT HINDER YOUR BLESSINGS

We have to be able to recognize what hinders our blessings: Things like fear, jealousy, envy, hate, anger, doubt, unbelief, or strife can hinder our prayers and our blessings. Once we recognize the Spirit hindering our blessings, we separate ourselves from it. People or the devil cannot block the blessings God has for us, but they can hinder them.

According to Numbers 23:19-20, What God has Blessed, No one can curse. The truth is, No one can block God's blessings for us, not even the enemy. They can try to hinder us from receiving all that God has for us but what they cannot do is stop the Blessings that God has for us.

Father, thank You for a new day and for keeping us safe through the night. Thank You for the hedge of protection around our children, families, friends, and ourselves. Lord, let us not be our own worst enemies and blessings blockers. Let not the Spirits of the flesh overcome our Spirits of the Fruit so we don't hinder our blessings. Lord, keep our hindering Spirits from attacking us by invading our hearts with spiritual heaviness. Lord, hold our hindering spirits from interfering with our prayer lives, studies, and faith. "For we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapon we choose for our warfare is the Word. So, we take authority over Hindering Spirits operating in our lives, home, office, and marketplaces, and we rebuke you, in the name of Jesus Amen.

LOVE GOD AND YOURSELF THEN YOU CAN LOVE OTHERS

This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. ' The greatest commandment helps us see self-love is required before we can truly love others.

Life and relationships have taught me that whatever you can't control, don't worry about it; give it to God. Just be loyal, trustworthy, honest, and loveable. Someone will find you. But remember, no matter how good you treat others doesn't mean they'll treat you the same way. So live life like it's given to you. That way, you won't be disappointed or hurt. If you feel you're not being valued enough, you have to put a value on yourself. Never love someone more than God and yourself, or you will get caught in a snare.

Lord, thank You for watching over us while we slept and for today's wake-up call; we really appreciate You.  Father, we thank You in advance for the hedge of protection around our children, families, and friends. Let us all return home safely 🙏. Lord, help us understand the Word and continue pruning our Fruit as we mature in faith and Spirit. Let us not be incapable of celebrating our worth, so teach us how to love ourselves through the Word. Lord, let Your thoughts be our thoughts, so Your principles will manifest in our lives 🙏. Lord, give us eyes to see our actual value and walk us around the obstacles ahead. Father, let us learn to love ourselves and each other by recognizing the way You love us. In Jesus' name Amen 🙏 

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ARGUING

It's a waste of time to argue with a fool who does not care about the truth or reality but only the victory of their beliefs and illusions. Only spend time on arguments that make sense. There are people who, no matter how much evidence we present to them, are not able to understand, especially those blinded by ego, hatred, and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not. When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more.

Father, You are all-knowing and wise, teach us Your ways and when and what to say. Lord, we seek Your wisdom and insight in all we do. Father, we seek Your understanding, so we can walk in the path You lay before us, knowing right from wrong and being protected against temptation and deceitfulness. Lord, help make our intelligence amenable to all truths and give us the wisdom to know the meaning of silence. 

Ecclesiastes 3:7 tells us that there is a time to keep silent and a time to speak. But when? How? Lord, we need to discern the difference between knowing when to say or be quiet, so we humbly seek You through prayer as we immerse ourselves in Scripture and ask for Your wisdom and discernment. In Jesus' name Amen 

LET'S GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD

Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

The Bible teaches us about the power of having a grateful heart. An attitude of thanksgiving can fill us with hope and joy. We all have much to be thankful for, especially if we have children. We could all pray without ceasing for the many blessings we have received 🙏.

Thank You, Lord, for Your hands of protection and bless those less fortunate. 🙏 Thank You, Lord, for favor and keeping us safe through Ian and preparing us for the storms to come. Lord, thank You for provision and shelter; thank You for waking us up in our right minds and healthy 🙏. Thank You for covering our homes, businesses, and service workers to help them safely navigate this Valley of death. You have provided us with more than we could ever imagine. You have surrounded us with people who always look out for us. You have given us family and friends who bless us daily with kind words and actions. Lord, You have shown us so much love, kindness, and compassion; we are so grateful 🙏. In Jesus' name Amen 

LET'S PRAYFOR THOSE WHO ARE ADDICTED IN HIS WORDS

• Alcohol addiction.

• Prescription drug addiction.

• Drug addiction.

• Heroin addiction.

• Opioid addiction

We come together for all those dealing with addiction, whether physical, mental, or Spiritual. We ask You to loose us.

And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me." But to the wicked God says: "What right have you to recite my statutes or take my covenant on your lips? For you hate discipline, and you cast my words behind you. If you see a thief, you are pleased with him and keep company with adulterers. "You give your mouth free rein for evil, and your tongue frames deceit. 

Father, keep us sober-minded; and watchful. Our devil adversary prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour...For all that is in the world, the desires of the flesh, lusts of the eyes, and pride in possessions are not from the You but from the world...Lord urges us as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against our souls...More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character. Character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame because Your love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. So, we submit ourselves to You. Help us resist the devil, and he will flee from us. In Jesus' name Amen

FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS

This world is filled with all forms of temptations. God's Word is where we can find the encouragement and strength to overcome these cravings. There's nothing in this world 🌎 that He did not overcome, and we have that same power through Him. He reminded us to "Come to Him, all who are weary and burdened, and He will give us rest. Take His yoke upon you and learn from Him, for He is gentle and humble in heart, and we will find rest for our souls.

Lord, we know Your faithful and will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. But when we are tempted, thank You for providing a way out so we can endure it. Father, let us not be misled by bad company, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Lord, You are our teacher; reveal who and what You are in us. Give us eyes that see the plan. You have for us and ears to hear Your instructions. Father, let us not be hindered by envy, jealousy, selfishness, hate, or unforgiveness. So fill us with the principle of gratitude, love, kindness ❤️ and compassion for others. Teach us to stand with faith and submit ourselves to You, so we can resist the devil, and he will flee from us. Thank You, Lord, of grace, for calling us to Your eternal glory through Christ and restoring us. Amen

THE WICKED PROSPER TOO

"So now we call the arrogant blessed; not only are the doers of wickedness built up, but they also test God and escape.'"

We often find ourselves asking  God why the righteous suffer and the wicked prosper because, in truth, there can be many underlying causes for such disturbing realities, each case differing from the others. Some people look good on the outside, but they're wasting away inside. Never worry about what's happening in other's lives because we can't see the big picture. We will reap what we sow, good or bad, here on earth. "Even the righteous is repaid on Earth."

Father, we know You're a righteous and faithful God and will keep Your promise. That everything will work out for our good. So, we stand on Your Word; we will reap what we sow, and the wicked will not prevail. "Lord, we understand You're good to the wicked and sinner just as You are to the righteous. And one way of showing that goodness is You give the wicked the same power to prosper just as You do for the righteous. Until the day appointed for their punishment comes. So, keep us focused on You and not the prosperity of others because we will have a winning season too, and yours will last. In Jesus' name Amen 

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good, and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Thank You for breathing life into us this morning, and thank You in advance for the hedge of protection around us today. Thank You for waking up with a roof over our heads, and bless those sleeping outside. Thank You for the food and water, and bless those that have not. Thank You that we're in our right minds and healthy, and bless those who are sick and shut-in. Thank You for helping us tame our tongues and allowing You to fight our battles against our enemies. Thank You, for pruning our Fruit and strengthening our faith, so we can walk in Your ways. Thank You for the Spiritual Soldiers You surrounded us with and the Guardian Angels that keep the fiery arrows of our enemies from harming us. Thank You for taking us from where we were and molding us into what we have become. Thank You for Continuing working in and through us to serve Your purpose and honor Your name. Thank You, for forgiveness and for teaching us how to forgive. Thank You for all the blessings, lessons, and grace You have given us. Thank You for your favor and for keeping us safe in this Valley of death. In Jesus' name Amen 

DON'T LET IT STEAL YOUR PEACE

I pray you stop thinking about people that do not value you. I pray you do not let people take up space in your heart or life that does not make you a part of their life. I pray you do not think about why people don't call or reply to you. I pray that whatever steals your joy or interferes with your peace be loosed from you right now. So, Lord, grant them peace of mind and calm their troubled 💕 Father, help them find a balance so they don't stumble and worry constantly. Give them the strength and clarity of mind to find their purpose, walk the path you've laid out for them, and move on with their lives. Lord, give ears to everyone that needs to hear this, in Jesus' name Amen 

LIVE A LIFE OF PEACE

John 16:33. "In the world, we will have tribulation. ...Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for He is with us; do not be dismayed, for He is our God.      

If we really believe His promise, we will have Peace. Of course, we will still have problems (and many of our problems come from our choices) but will not have the burden of fear and doubt, just Peace...

Father, thank You for the "Peace You left with us; a peace that no one and nothing can take. So, let not our hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Because we have been justified by His faith, and our belief in Him; we have Peace with God through our Lord and we are so grateful. 🙏 Lord, finding Peace in our everyday life can oftentimes seem impossible when we're facing difficulties. Lord, please breathe in us Your strength and courage to stand on Your Word with faith and trust in Your promise. Father, walk through our homes, jobs, lives, and remove all that's not of You. To give You room to move in our lives and reprogram us to serve Your purpose. To witness, worship, give, and live a prolong life in Peace and prosperity. In Jesus' name Amen 

PRAY WITH A CLEAN HEART

All our prayers are powerful because God doesn't look at the length of the pleas of our request. He doesn't look at our status in society but the motives of our hearts.

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Lord, let our prayers be acceptable to You and give grace, joy, and favor to Your people, so we can stand firm in the Word. We pray for peace and harmony based on Your great love for our Father. Lord, we understand that suffering produces perseverance, so strengthen our faith and help us overcome our unbelief in adversity. Lord, give us the courage to stand on Your Word with the Holy Spirit. So, walk us through this Valley of death, and thank You in advance for steering us around the obstacles ahead. Father, help us confess our sins and pray for each other so we may be healed. Lord, let the prayers of the righteous be powerful and effective in our lives as we mature in faith. Thank You, Lord, for wrestling in prayer that we may stand firm in Your will, matured and fully assured. In Jesus' name Amen 

PRAY FOR LOVE IN HIS WORD

John 15:12: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Luke 6:31: Do to others as you would have them do to you.

1 Corinthians 16:14  Do everything in love. Psalms 143:8 Let the morning bring us word of Your unfailing love, for we have put our trust in You. Show us the way we should go, for to You we entrust our lives.

Lord, let love and faithfulness never leave us; bind them around our necks, write them on the tablets of our hearts. Then we will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. (Proverbs 3:3-4) Father, help us. "Be completely humble and gentle; let us be patient, bearing with one another in love. (Ephesians 4:2.") So, Lord, direct our hearts into our Father's love and Your perseverance. (Thessalonians 3:5) Lord, place Yourself like a seal over our hearts, like a seal on our arms; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. (Song of songs 8:6) Please, let the love in our heart's for You Lord and others burn with that same blazing fire 🔥 and everything else in our lives will fall into place. In Jesus' name Amen

PRAY FOR OUR YOUNG MEN

Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

Lord, teach our young men how to be the head and not the tail. Fill them with the Holy Spirit that empowers them to be the vessel and Kings they were created to be. Father, Your Word says, "Rejoice, O young man, in their youth, and let their hearts cheer you in the days of their youth. Walk in the ways of their hearts and the sight of their eyes. But know that God will bring them into judgment for all these things." So, Lord, we cover them from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet with Your promise "Do not let them be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of their minds, that by testing them they may discern what Your will is, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Lord, hold their hands as they walk through a system designed against them and keep a hedge of protection around them. Thank You for Your mercy, grace, and favor for Your people 🙏 continue blessing them. Thank You for the Spiritual Soldiers around our youth to help guide and support them in this Valley of death. Thank You, Lord, for purchasing them with the Blood of Your own Son. You know the hearts of our young men. We pray that they would grow a desire in them that some would devote a life of service to Your purpose. Help them be honest and passionate worshipers that take hold of these desires and run with them. In Jesus' name, Amen. 

LORD WE REBUKE ANGER

"Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense."

One second of anger could cause you a lifetime of grief. We all struggle with moments of rage when faced with annoyance or an overwhelming situation. But the good news is there are scriptures dealing with every part of our lives. So, rather than lashing out with harsh words and actions that only leave us feeling guilt and shame, we can stop and focus on Scripture for help. When we are angry, this is the time to practice what we have learned. When we study or focus on Scripture, the Holy Spirit intervenes in our situation and claims us.


Father, help us speak softly and turn away wrath. Lord, let not harsh words stir up anger and help us focus on what we have learned". Lord, when our tempers are stirred up, let us turn to the Holy Spirits that clam our atmosphere. Father, fill our hearts and minds with Your peace, so we will be slow to anger. Lord, help us take hold of Your promise that You will not forsake us. Whatever circumstances we face that produce anger in our hearts, remind us that You have not left our side, and You never will. So, right now, Lord, we release all our anger into Your care. You know our concerns; give us Your wisdom and the knowledge of how to implement You in our hearts instead of anger. In Jesus' name Amen
