Prayer for the Saints!

Hallelujah to the King! We praise You Lord Jesus for all the good that You are doing in our lives as such, and we thank You that You are indeed looking after our families best interests. We love You Lord Jesus for saving our lives from destruction and we give You the glory, honour and praise to Your mighty name! Thank You! We commit our paths into Your capable hands Lord, and we believe we have received favour, grace and mercy into our situations! Redeem us Oh Lord, and bring favour upon our lives. Release us Lord from all bondages that have held us captive and give us answers that we need in order that we may fulfil the peaceful existence that we so desire, that we may bring honour to Your holy name Lord. Let us be that family whom people will look upon and see that we are blessed by Your mighty hand. Allow us as a family Lord to bring others to You, when they see how we live and what peace, love and joy we experience daily in our lives, as a result of the blessings You have bestowed upon us Lord! Thank You Lord for hearing our prayers! GLORY TO GOD AMEN! OH HALLELUJAH! WE LOVE YOU JESUS! WE BOW OUR HEADS IN YOUR HONOUR LORD! WE LOVE YOU. WE LOVE YOU. WE LOVE YOU. Amen. Glory to God!

All glory for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.

The Power of Prayer

Where 2 or more stand in agreement on anything that they so desire, I will make it happen for them. They must be of one accord, in order that My perfect will can be done through them. Together, and in My name, they shall make their prayer requests known and I shall deliver it to them from the wings of Heaven, just as promised. It is written, Matthew 18:19-20 NKJV “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

The Bible says that whatever we ask for in Jesus name shall be given to us. John 14:13 -14 NKJV “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” Be sure to ask because if we don’t ask for what we want, things tend to happen by default, and we may then miss out on what we want.

Of course, we must ask according to God’s will for us, and not according to lusts and desires of the flesh that do not line up with what God wants for us. James 4:1-3 NKJV “Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”

So what if we don’t know exactly how or what to pray for, so that we are in line with God’s will? Jesus tells us how to pray. Matthew 6:9-13 NKJV “In this manner, therefore pray:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and
the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

The Bible also tells us that we should pray without ceasing, having all the faith that whatever we ask for shall be given to us, and we are to give thanks and be content in our current situations. This way, when the Father sees your heart, that you appreciate all He has given you already, He will reward you accordingly. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NKJV “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

God knows what we need before we even ask Him. All we need to do is ask, and to have the faith that whatever we ask for in faith, will be given to us. God loves you, and this is His will for you. 1 John 5:15 NKJV “And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”

PS Matthew 6:5-8 NKJV “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” Amen!

All glory as always for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.


The House of God

Worship the Lord God Almighty! That is the call being placed in the hearts of many around the globe. It is time that we put the Lord’s will before our own. It’s time that we offer Him high praise! This is the requirement for those who are called to this path. Isaiah 57:15 NKJV “For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”

God is calling you into fellowship with Him. He wants you to be ready, willing and able to hear His voice. He wants you to spend time daily where possible, reading His word and listening to His spirit.

The spirit of God speaks to us in our hearts. It’s like a gentle whisper calling our name. He is there for those that truly seek Him, listening to the prayers of the righteous. 1 Peter 3:12 NKJV “For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers.”

The Lord loves the humble in heart. He is attentive to their prayers, and He raises them up. 1 Peter 5:5-7 NKJV “Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for ‘God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.’ 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.”

The Lord is a God of compassion. He will meet your every need. When you put your trust in Him, you will be rewarded many times over. Lamentation 3:22-24 NKJV “Through the LORD’S mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. ‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘Therefore I hope in Him!’”

The Lord also loves a happy heart. He asks us to always be thankful in all circumstances in fact, He says that it is His will for us. 1Thessalonians 5:16-19 NKJV “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” When we give thanks to Him in each and every circumstance, we learn to be grateful for our lives, no matter what is going on. Then the Lord is able to bless us with even more!

Proverbs 15:15 NKJV “But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.” We must rejoice in the Lord and praise Him, showing Him our gratitude in everything we do! When we are rejoicing, it is pretty hard not to have a happy heart! God wants us to enjoy our lives and be happy! He wants His children to live life to the full! Jesus died so that we could experience the freedom to live life abundantly and to enjoy the freedom of knowing that all of our needs are met.

John 10:10 NKJV “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

PS Psalm 145:14 NKJV “The LORD upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU ASK HIM.
THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD PRAY:

MAY YOUR KINGDOM COME;
MAY YOUR WILL BE DONE
 ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US TODAY THE FOOD WE NEED.
FORGIVE US THE WRONGS WE HAVE DONE,

THAT OTHERS HAVE DONE TO US.
DO NOT BRING US TO HARD TESTING.
BUT KEEP US SAFE FROM THE EVIL ONE."
AMEN!

KNOCK AND MY DOOR SHALL BE OPENED TO YOU."

Living Under The Protection Of The Almighty

When He hears our cry, our Father in Heaven looks upon us with love, grace and mercy. In answer to our prayers, sometimes He takes delight in giving us immediate answers, and sometimes He makes us wait. When this happens, it is for good reason – only He knows what is going on behind the scenes.

Most of the time though, what appears to be delays are only in fact His solutions that we have yet to recognise or acknowledge. We must trust that all our prayers are being answered, all according to God’s will for us. Hosea 14:8 says “I will answer their prayers and take care of them. Like an evergreen tree I will shelter them; I am the source of all their blessings.”

When faced with life’s uncertainties, if we look to God for our answers, He will guide us step by step along the path we must travel. Psalm 121:8 says “He will protect you as you come and go now and for ever.” If we could only see the wonderful orchestration of His plans for us, we would all be amazed!

God is the supreme ruler. He is ruler of the Heavens and Earth, and of all the powers and authorities. He is the one that has the final say in everything. Proverbs 19:21 says “People may plan all kinds of things, but the LORD’S will is going to be done.”

People may try to hurt you, but in the end, they will get what’s coming! We do not need to concern ourselves with this. God deals with people in a most loving way, and it is not up to us to seek vengeance of any kind. Deuteronomy 32:35 NKJV says “Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them!”

God wants you to understand something here. He will never leave or forsake you while you call to Him for help. This is just not His way at all. His way is for you to live confidently amidst all the trials and tribulations of this world, knowing full well that He is taking care of things for you. This is promised to us in Hebrews 13:5-6 NKJV ‘For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

When one understands the enormity of this promise made out of love for us, we shall become knowledgeable in the ways of the Kingdom. The further one walks upon this path of life, one begins to see all the answers coming to fruition. It all begins to unfold like a beautiful love story between man and his maker. Revelation 3:20 NKJV says “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”

Let nothing stop you my friends, from walking the path of salvation. If you do, you will never get to experience the beauty and majesty of living a life filled with promises fulfilled, both here and in all eternity. Psalm 91:15-16 NKJV says “He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”

You will see the glory of His Kingdom come into your lives and into your homes, if you receive Jesus into your heart today. He is a faithful God, and His promises hold true. Deuteronomy 7:9 NKJV says “Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.”

It doesn’t matter what is going on around you, whether it be a recession, poverty, broken marriages and friendships, family quarrels, job losses, unpaid bills and mortgages, sicknesses and health problems. If you go to the LORD for safety, and you love him and acknowledge Him as LORD, then you shall live under the protection of the Almighty forever and ever! Amen.

PS Psalm 91:1-4 says ‘Whoever goes to the LORD for safety, whoever remains under the protection of the Almighty, can say to him, “You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust.” He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. He will cover you with His wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you.’ Amen.

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe as always have guided me and instructed me with these words. May God bless you and keep you. Amen.
