James 1:17-18

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. 18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

Dear Heavenly Father, by the blood of Jesus we thank You humbly for precious gifts You bestow on our lives.  Glory to be to God, for Your most precious gifts of truth, love and grace throughout our days and nights as we live to glorify Your blessed Name. Continue to help us and guide as we walk in love for You, Father; in His Holy Name I pray for those that are seeking Your wisdom and for those that have found You beloved...Amen!

A prayer for Wisdom and His Wise Counsel for a dear friend...

Dear Heavenly Father, We come to You now in the name of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.  Heavenly Father, we thank You that Your Word gives knowledge, instruction, wisdom, and understanding to all who pays attention to its truths.  You promised to impart wisdom to us if I listen to Your Words and attain unto Your wise counsels.  We, therefore, enter Your presence with trust, knowing You will give us wisdom according to 2 Chronicles 1:10.  Heavenly Father, fill us with the spirit of wisdom so that we will be able to discern Your will.  With You, Lord, there is both strength and wisdom according to Job 12:13. Heavenly Father, let our mouths speak Your wisdom, Lord, because of the righteousness You have imparted to us according to Psalm 37:30.

      He has counsel and understanding."

 

 Psalm 37:30

and his tongue talks justice."

 

I ask You.... destory, false memories, unrighteous agreements, bad attitudes, bad thoughts, ungodly negative impressions, and imprints according to John 14:14.  Heavenly Father, I ask You to cleanse our minds with the Blood of the Lord Christ Jesus of all thoughts and preconcieved ideas that do not conform to Your will and destiny for our lives and the way You want us to believe and think.  Lord Jesus, we ask you to do all of these things according to John 14:14; and Heavenly Father we ask You to give us these things according to John 16:23.  In the Name of Lord Jesus Christ, we pray with thanksgiving. To God be the Glory....Amen!

Then be Quiet and Listen, be Still, no Talking!!!

It is important to mentally be still and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you.  Continue to exalt the Name of Jesus, Thank You Lord, and Thank You Jesus.  Thank You Lord, You have brought me into the Holy Place.  “You are the Life and You are the Light.”  Thank You Jesus, Thank You Lord, that You always identify Yourself to me.   You Identify Yourself as the “I Am That I Am” also You identify Yourself as the “Life” and “the Light.”  But mainly You identify Yourself as “I Am That I Am”.

I know that it is Him because His voice follows through my entire being. You will “know that You know” in your inner being, it is Him.  His Peace will fill you when He speaks.  He will tell you He loves you.  He wants you to know that He loves you.  The “I Am the great I Am, The Creator of Heaven and Earth, the Creator of all things.”  

The Peace of God will flood your entire being when are with Him.  Thank You Lord, You are the Bread of Life and in You is Light (You are the Light).  By this time is a transitioning more out of the flesh and being positioned by the Holy Spirit to be taken to the Holy of Holies.  We must be” taken”; we do not enter the Holy of Holies of our own accord or ability.  God initiates, the Holy Spirit moves, we respond to Him.  He moves into, through, and past the veils into His Most Holy Presence.  

Heavenly Father I come to Your Throne of Grace through the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.  Holy Spirit restore me and into the Holy of Holies, restore me to my Heavenly Father’s Voice.  Help us, dear Lord, Oh gracious Father to not be caught up in religion, but to be caught up in spirit; Your Holy Spirit that we might be more effective in our prayers and be obedient to You.  We want to serve Your Divine purpose, Lord; and do what is good and right in Your sight.  Allow us, Dear Lord, to live in Your Light and the Love that You have for us.  Show us how to be helpful to Your Kingdom.  Show us how to live a life of constant praise to You.  Bless Jesus Christ’s Holy Name….Amen!!

We are not moved by what we see, hear, smell, touch or taste.  We are not moved by reason.

We are only moved by Your Spirit and Your Word and we know Your Voice, and we hear Your Voice and we refuse to follow strangers according to John 10:27

    "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." 

Lord Jesus, I ask You to expand our minds and spirits; to fill us and increase us in the Holy Spirit and anointing with power.  I ask You to lead us in paths of righteousness for Your Name's Glory. We Bless You, Praise You, Worship You, and that we are commit all  to You, that Your perfect will be done through us.  I ask that You help us to cease from our own will and we do so by faith.  I ask for help, that You give Us the Word that You want us to give others.  Father, help us to follow Your direction.  I ask You that give us a clear mind and thoughts toward You, clear will toward You, and clear of ALL emotional clutter.  I ask You to release Your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness with long suffering, and self control to flow over and in throughout our lives.  I ask that You make our hearts like Yours, that Your fruit will flow in and through us to others.  I ask You Father for a clear, sharp, and healthy mind and body in You.  

Heavenly Father,  I ask Your perfect Will in this life; for You, for us and for our families.  I ask You for eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to comprehend and receive what the Holy Spirit has to say.  I ask You to guard us and our families with many angels and that they come as needed.  I ask You to make us alert, awake, sharp and attentive in Your thoughts and ways.  I ask that we may prosper in what we put our hands to do for You.  We ask for a hart like yours and growth and maturity to walk in it to the fullest with You; in Jesus' Name....Amen!!

What if blessings come through raindrops?

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You now in the Name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.  Heavenly Father, I pray for myself and everyone that I prayed for today and I ask that You will send forth Your Word to heal us.  I ask You to deliver us from destruction of our minds, our bodies or our spirit.  We proclaim and decree we are children of the Most High God; we thank You for healing and delivering us through Your Word.  And through the precious Blood sacrifice we have hope and salvation.  Thank You, Father for the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We have been given authority and power over the enemy... 

"Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 10:19(NKJV) 

We choose to obey and have a life that is victorious in Christ!  We ARE over comers in Jesus!  Thank You Lord for giving us and helping us to live our lives that are victorious in Jesus Christ and to help our brothers and sisters and all those connected to them will see and want to follow us to walk in the Light too!!  In His Holy Name Christ Jesus...Amen!!

 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 


We Love You Lord, Our Heavenly Father, "You created the Heavens and the earth, in You there is no shadow of turning" James 1:17  Thank You Father God.  Heavenly Father we come to Your throne of Grace through the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ and trust.  We lay down before You our imperfections, our shortcomings, our iniquities and ask that You supply us with wisdom in times of confusion and chaos so we don't get caught in our own flesh and distraction of earthly things.  We ask for confirmation of Your presence upon us and help us walk in Your Glory...In Jesus name, Amen!

Talk the walk...Are YOU walking the talk?

   
   Heard this question this morning as I woke.... "You talk the walk but are YOU walking the talk?"  Had to chuckle because I knew what that meant and who was asking.     
God has reminded me that living and enjoying life is not a series of enjoyable circumstances. It's an attitude, an attitude of the heart...  I see my struggle when I heard my friend's diagnosis of cancer or when my teenagers act up or even, when my hubby and I get into an argument.  In most cases I am trusting Him and enjoying life as He presents it to me.  I know my heart is good and strong, I confess, I still have weaknesses.  God wants me to be consistent in my walk.  As a believer I know that I have an abundant quality of life that comes from God.  And getting caught up in my BAD circumstances I could fail to enjoy the pleasures God provides every day.  He has given me abundant life and my goal is to enjoy it to the fullest!!

God has given all of us sufficient grace to handle ANY circumstance that may come before us or around us.  "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor.12:9 (NIV)  We have to embrace the challenge and/or bad circumstance and forge on with confidence.  Put the whole armor of God upon ourselves and be victors  for His glory. Ephesians 6:10-17     


Thank You Father God for Your precious gift of grace.  Through the power of the Holy Spirit we will live life for Your glory and take ALL circumstances in our paths to You.  We receive....  "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly." John 10:10 (KJV)  and will not forget our standing in Your Name LORD.   Through Your word we gain strength and new understanding. Your praise will be always upon our lips and we exalt Your name forever. (Psalm 34) In His blessed name Christ Jesus we pray.....Amen!!!

Prayer...."A Living Sacrifice"

Dear Heavenly Father,  We come to You in Jesus Christ's Holy Name, we renew and give our total loyalty and commitment to You, Father God, today and for the rest of our lives we dedicate ourselves to do Your work, to do Your will and obey You at all times.  We give You our lives, and all that is in it, as a living sacrifice, unto You.  All that I am to be a glory, honor and praise You, Heavenly Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ's Holy Name.  We commit our lives and all is in it, to You, to Your Good Works.  Come Lord Jesus Christ take Your rightful place in, through, and about our lives.  We give You our lives to You Lord, for eternity and We ask You Lord, to bind all the we are to all that You are, in Jesus Christ's Holy name....Amen! 

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2 (NIV)

God's Ways...Trust IT!

     Did you know a lack of understanding of how God does things can wear you out?  If you don't understand His ways, you could end up fighting and resisting things, thinking they are an attack from the devil, when in reality they are an attempt by the Lord to work something good in your life.
    We know God does not do bad things.  But sometimes we fail to realize that everything that feels bad is not necessarily bad for us.  Reminding our self that His ways are not our ways will help us trust Him even when our circumstances are hard to understand.  So at the close of your busy day, put yourself in the hands of almighty God...and rest in the knowledge that He is good and knows what's best.

    Father God, In Jesus name, we thank You for Your will in our lives.  Please forgive us when we fall short and resist.  As we learn and continue to grow we will remind ourselves through You all things are possible and all things are for our good.  We love and trust Your way...Amen!

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

  “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
   neither are your ways my ways,”
            declares the LORD.
 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
   so are my ways higher than your ways
   and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Pray for Japan......

   The news has been on at our house constantly MSNBC, CNN, mostly or where ever footage of any latest news of Japan.  My hubby's extended family is from a Fukuoka, Japan.  It is on the southwest side of Japan.  Although the earthquake and Tsunami hit the Northeast side of Japan this really hit home with us.  The latest I heard as I walked out to leave for work was "100s of bodies washing up on shore", I gasped.  Those words rang in my ears all the way to work.  Fukushima and surrounding communities are not only having the challenges of aftershocks, complete destruction, missing, injured and death.  I cannot imagine loved ones washing up on the shore; I am so devastatingly speechless and saddened.  Arrive at work and saw that a second explosion at the nuclear power plant, now they are facing a possible nuclear disaster.  As bad as Chernobyl?!

I prayed....

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” 1 Peter 5:6-10 (NKJV)

    O Gracious Father,  ....I know and trust that You are with these survivors and that You will guide the rescuers and volunteers.  Give them strength, stamina, courage and grace to deal with all that they will uncover or discover.  Father, give them words and the wisdom to protect their people from the radiation.  Dear Lord, break the barriers of pride, so they can be honest and accept help.  Open the door for full disclosure and transparency in the condition and stability of the nuclear reactors and radiation that may or is a health threat.  Continue to bless this country with aid and the strength and resources to recover and healing.  In Jesus' name...Amen!

Seeing through Darkness

 There are times you just can't see through the darkness that seems to closing in around you.  It is in those times the strength and patience of your faith is stretched and you learn to trust God even when you can't hear His voice.
   You can grow in your confidence level to the point where "knowing" is even better than "hearing."  You may be unsure of what to do but it is enough to know there is one who does know. We all like specific direction; however, when you don't have it, knowing God IS faithful and ever true to His promise, and that He has promised to be with us always, is comforting and keeps us stable until His timing comes to illuminate the situation.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for favor in our lives and the wisdom to know You are faithful. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV)  Through our faith we can endure and trust that in your divine timing we will see through the darkness.  We will be patient.  We will be steadfast. And we will stand in confidence in Your promises.  Through You, O gracious Lord, we can endure and be victorious.  In Jesus name...Amen! 

Jehovah-Jireh …. LORD who Provides

 

Remember the story of Abraham and his son Isaac. It was God (Jehovah Jireh) that provided the sacrificial ram that was caught in the bushes. Because the Lord foresaw his need and provided the ram, Abraham built an altar for the “Lord Who Provides” -- Jehovah-Jireh [Gen. 22:1-18].  Abraham is one who loved God more than his beloved son Isaac, who was a man of worship and who immediately obeyed God.  Those who love, worship and obey the Lord are ones who can anticipate His provision.  "And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-Jireh: as it is said to this day, in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen" (Genesis 22:13-14, KJV).

Are you having a difficult time decided something?  A decision has to be made about your finances, your job or a relationship.  Perhaps you are having trouble with a marriage or a relationship.  God (Jehovah-Jireh) will provide answers or a way through your difficult circumstance. Do you trust the Father? Do you trust His Almighty hand? Do you trust His heart through your most difficult times?  Will you give Him authority over your life?  We must ask ourselves if we fully trust HIM.  And if we don’t we ask that He will show us the areas of our heart needs changed and/or strengthened.  Praying to Jehovah-Jireh”-  “Lord who Provides”  will open the door for God to work His will and provision. 
 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 (NKJV)

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your favor on our lives.  We trust Your promises and will for our lives. We ask for Your strength and understanding of Your will.  We sometimes don’t see the good You have for us when are in turmoil or indecision but through Your eyes we ask to see what You see for us.  We trust in Your hand and heart.  Jehovah-Jireh, You provided for Abraham in his time of need, we believe that You will provide answers for our daunting questions or circumstance.  To bring revelation in our lives from this day forward. And through the Holy Spirit our paths will be revealed.  Father, we know that you are faithful and our needs will be met.  Glory to God ….Our Savior, Our Redeemer , In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit …Amen & Amen!

Think Good Thoughts on Purpose

    We know that when God has renewed our mind with a fresh attitude we can choose to make right decisions.  For instances, we know that love is not necessarily a feeling but a choice.  We must also choose to think good thoughts about other people.  Take a moment and think good thoughts about someone you know, and see how much better you feel.

    Thinking good thoughts opens the door for God to manifest His good plan in your life.  So if you haven’t been working with the Holy Spirit to break old thoughts patterns and form new ones, it’s time to get started.  Think good thoughts about people on purpose, and as your attitude starts to change toward others, your relationships will also start to change for the better.  “to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”Ephesians 4:23-24(NIV)

O gracious Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit gives us strength and the understanding for those that may bring confusion and chaos to our lives.  So we are able to think and be positive and not to think badly or to judge others for their actions or words.  Give us patience and knowledge that will remind and equip us with the grace as You would.   We proclaim peace and joy over our thoughts and a new understanding for others for Your glory.  Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2(NIV) In Jesus name…Amen!

With Love...Prayer of Intercession

Father God, in the power of the Holy Spirit, I pray in intercession for healing the sick and the injured.  Ask that you renew their bodies and their spirits.  Deliver them from destruction of the enemy who wishes to break Your children physically.  Restore their health and bodies.  And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.  Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:15-16 Father God, there are troubled hearts that have forgotten Your way.  The enemy is trying to discourage and lie to give doubt in their advancement.  Our brothers and sisters spiritual warfare is bringing them weakness and darkness, I declare strength and protection through the Holy Spirit our beloved brothers and sisters will be delivered.     The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.  The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
 because they take refuge in him. Psalm 37:39-40 (NIV) In His glorious name, Christ Jesus……Amen!!
