Time of Prayer

Heavenly Father we come before You in the name of Jesus asking You if there any sins we have committed against you, show us where we have sinned, and forgive us of our sins. Strengthen us that we will no longer commit that sin or sins.

Have mercy upon those that are confined to the hospital, nursing homes, we pray that You will give them care-givers that will show them love and compassion. Father, we pray for healing in the hearts and minds of Your people. We pray for Your Word to reach and soften the hardened and hateful heart.

We pray for those that have authority over us, give them wisdom and knowledge on how to rule. We pray for those that are tormented in their minds, we pray for the peace of God to rest in their minds. We pray for Your protection from viruses and plagues. Give us a mind and a heart to worship You as You have instructed through Your Holy Word.

Bless those that are in need of employment, we pray that they will not lose their homes or apartments. We pray that You will provide for them as Your Word says You will supply every one of our needs. Help them to depend on You and not what they see or feel.

Bless parents that are in need of daycare and baby sitters but don’t have the funds to pay. Father, make a way for them, bless them with good daycare and babysitters. People that will show love and provide good care and protection for their children.

Father be a doctor for those in need of medical help. Be their Great physician, we pray for blood clots to dissolve. We pray for healing in the bloodstream. We pray for hearts, kidneys, bladders to be healed. We pray You will cancel the doctor’s report of cancer. We pray for spiritual and physical blinded eyes to be open.

Heal marriages between a man and a woman as You ordained in the Garden of Eden. Remove everything that needs to be removed and place in the marriage what need be. Encourage Your pastor’s hearts, increase them in another level of the Spirit. Bring the body of Christ back to the sanctuary and perform miracles signs and wonders.

Safe every Jew and give peace to Jerusalem. Intervene for those that are held captive whether it’s spiritual or physical. Help us to love one another with unconditional love. We pray for Your will to be done on the earth and in us, in Jesus’ name we ask these prayers! Thank God Amen!

A Cry for Help

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer – Psalm 4:1.

It’s such a blessing that we can go to God anytime of the day or night to pray. We don’t have to do different rituals for our prayers to be heard. We don’t have to pray by a guideline or sit, lay, stand or kneel in a certain position. All we have to do is believe that God is God and He’s the God that answers prayers. Read More

God’s Promise

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty – Psalm 91:1.

The person who trusts in God is the one who lives close to Him. The title Most High emphasizes God’s Majesty and is parallel to the term Almighty. One who has a continuous relationship with Him through prayer, praise, and worship is one that will trust God’s promises no matter what they may be going through because they know God has their best interest at heart.

God has never promised the believer he or she will not have troublesome times, but He did promise He would deliver and provide for His people. The three Hebrew boys could have given up on God when they were placed in the fiery furnace, but rather than not believing they knew God had a way of escape and if not they were going to place their trust in Him that He had a better place for them.

Life brings trouble, Satan brings circumstance, and we bring unnecessary distresses in our lives, but whether it be life, Satan or us, God is faithful to deliver His people. There is nothing too small or too big for God to handle. The three Hebrew boys placed their trust in God; they were forced to go into a fiery furnace because they would not worship the golden image. Rather than being faithless, they informed King Nebuchadnezzar who they were placing their trust in although they saw the furnace they would be placed in (If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up – Daniel 3:17-18. “If not” does not indicate a lapse of faith on the part of the three Hebrew boys, rather, they recognized that sometimes it was the will of God for men of God to die in the line of duty as they served Him. They knew that God was able to deliver them, but did not know if it was His will.

This is what causes many professions Christians to lose faith because they don’t know the will of God, and they place their trust in what they’re in rather than the God who has their beginning and end. We’re sojourners, we’re just passing through. Earth is not our home, the Son of God came and died, was risen from the grave, and went to prepare a place for those who live according to the written instructions of the Bible.

As Christians, we’re in the hands of a mighty God that knows our beginning, middle, and ending. He knows our entrance and our exit. We have to know whatever God’s will is will be the best for us, meaning whether He delivers us or not. Jesus promised the believer that He was going to prepare a place and where He will be we also will be (In my Father’s house are many mansions: it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also – John 14:2:3. So whether He delivers us or not, as true Christians we have a better place awaiting us.

Don’t fear, but trust God. He has already spoken over your life before you were born, the Words He has spoken will manifest, nothing can stop God’s Word but you when you decide to live according to your will rather than His will. God loves His people and all He asks is that we love him and live according to His written instructions, the Holy Bible.
