Ephesians 1:17-23 Prayer

 Heavenly Father, I pray according to Your Word, Ephesians 1:17-23, that You will give each of us a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ Jesus. I pray that the eyes of our understanding will be enlightened so we may know what is the hope of the calling of Christ Jesus and the riches of the glory of Christ Jesus’ inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power towards us who believe, according to the working of Your mighty power which You used to raise Christ Jesus from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age which is to come. Heavenly Father, I thank You that You put all things under the feet of Christ Jesus, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. To God be the Glory. Heavenly Father, open my eyes that I may see how great You are and how complete Your  provision is for me. I thank You that the victory the Lord Christ Jesus won for me on the Cross and in His resurrection has been given to me and I am seated with the Lord Christ Jesus in the heavenlies. Heavenly Father, by faith and in dependence upon You; I put off the fleshly works of the old man and stand unto all the victory of the crucifixion where the Lord Christ Jesus provided cleansing from the old nature. I put on myself the new man and I stand into all the victory of the resurrection and the provisions that Christ Jesus has made for me. Heavenly Father, I put off all forms of selfishness and put on myself the new nature of Jesus Christ with its love. I put off all forms of fear and put the new nature of Jesus Christ with its courage. I put off all forms of lust and put on the new nature with its righteousness, purity, and honesty. I am trusting You to show each of us how to accomplish his in our daily lives. In every way I stand into the victory of the ascension and glorification of the Lord Christ Jesus, whereby all principalities and powers were made subject to Christ Jesus. I claim our place in Christ as victorious with Him over all the enemies of our souls. Holy Spirit, I pray that You would fill us. Come into our lives, breakdown every idol and cast out every foe and continually lead us in prayer. I am thankful Heavenly Father for the expression of Your will for our daily lives that You have shown us in Your Word. By the power of the Lord Christ Jesus; I claim all the will and destiny of God for each of us. I am thankful that You have blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I am thankful that You have begotten us unto a living hope by the resurrection of Christ Jesus from the dead. I am thankful that You have made provision for us so that we can be filled with the Spirit of God with love, joy, peace, with longsuffering, gentleness and goodness, with meekness, faithfulness and self-control in our lives. I recognize that it is Your will for us and I therefore reject and resist all the efforts of satan and his wicked spirits to rob us of the will of God. Lord Jesus, I ask You to put a hedge of protection around our minds to protect us from the enemy of all accusations, distortions, insinuations and lies. I claim the fullness of the will of God for our lives. In the Name of the Lord Christ Jesus, I completely surrender myself to You Heavenly Father, as a living sacrifice. I choose not to be conformed to this world. I choose to be transformed by the renewing of my mind and I pray that You would show me Your will and enable me to walk in Your will. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I bind my will to the will of God, I bind my mind to the mind of Christ. To God be the Glory. Amen!

Repentance For A Wrong Attitude Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ I ask You to forgive me for the sin of grumbling and complaining, for not walking in faith, and living to the destiny that I have.  Lord Jesus Christ my whining attitude is a thing of the past, I am going to rejoice in the Lord, I am going to accept the mind of Christ, I am going to talk about good things, glorious things, God’s things, I am going to live with joy unspeakable and full of glory and it is going to begin today, in Jesus Name, amen.

Confession Of Faith

                I am now releasing my faith by confessing this to be the greatest day of my life.  “This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.”  I am a recreated being, “old things have passed away and all things have become new.”  I am created into His glorious image and likeness.  I am His workmanship and am complete in Christ.  I am full of His Spirit and divine power.  I have the fruit of His Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, meekness, temperance and faith.  I am humbly submitting myself to the authority of His Holy Word, for, He and His Word are one.  I am obedient to His commandments and He enlarges my capacity to receive “Revelation” knowledge, wisdom, understanding and ability in all things that pertain to life and Godliness.  I am God’s property, I have “been bought with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.”  Therefore, I am free from the curse of the law.  Sin, sickness, poverty, fear, doubt, worry, confusion and all that satan  represents shall not have dominion over me.

 I am prospering in my spirit, soul, body and finances, for I am a liberated person.  Jesus said, “I will know the truth and the truth would make me free.”  I am “standing fast in the liberty wherein Christ has made me free.”  I am a disciplined person.  I study God’s word daily, I meditate upon its precepts, I confess who Christ is, what He has done and what He is doing in and through me now.  I am acting upon truths and I am expecting God to meet all my needs and, “to do super-abundantly above all I dare ask, hope, dream or desire,” in every area of my life.  I am a beautiful person full of God’s forgiveness and love.  I forgive as God has forgiven me.  I love as God has loved me, therefore, His faith is working in me by love.  I speak directly to every mountain of satanic adversity in my life and command them to go in the Name of Jesus.  They cannot stay they must go in Jesus’ Name.

                Through the abundance of God’s grace, I have received the gift of righteousness and am now reigning in this life by Christ Jesus.  In Genesis 1:24-31 and Genesis 2:8-15, God has told me what it was that a righteous man was to reign over.  Praise God, I am a righteous person and I am reigning over God’s creation now.  “Christ has been made worthy to power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and blessing.”  I am now a joint heir with Christ and as He is, so am I, in this world.  He has made me worthy to receive all that Jesus represents.  Praise God, I am everything that the Word declares that I am.  I have communicated my faith by acknowledging every good thing which is in me in Christ Jesus.  I worship with all my heart, soul and strength.  I lift up my voice and hands in praise and adoration to His glorious name for He is worthy of praise and He has made me worthy to praise His name.

Blessing Prayer

Heavenly Father, I come to You now in the Name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Heavenly Father, I  ask You to give me divine healing now in every area of my life, spirit, mind, will, emotions and physical being in accordance with Your Divine Plan and Order for my life. I receive Your Divine Healing, Wholeness and Newness of life, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Lord, I ask You to expand in me Your territories. Lord I ask for and receive beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness: for I am a tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that You may be glorified, in Jesus’ Name. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven,  Heavenly Father, I ask you to give me and every person I prayed for today according to John 16:23, the manifestation of every miracle and every healing You have given to me and the manifestation of divine healing and divine health in my body.  Father, I pray with thanksgiving in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

A Song of Praise (Psalms 40:1-8) GNT

1  I waited patiently for the Lord's help; then he listened to me and heard my cry.
2  He pulled me out of a dangerous pit, out of the deadly quicksand, He set me safely on a rock and made me secure.
3  He taught me to sing a new song, a song of praise to our God.  Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the Lord.
4  Happy are those who trust the Lord, who do not turns to idols or join those who worship false gods.
5  You have done many things for us, O Lord our God; there is no one like you! You have made many wonderful plans for us.  I could never speak of them all---their number is so great!
6  You do not want sarifices and offerings; you do not ask for animals burned whole on the altar or for sacrifices to take away sins.  Instead, you have given me ears to hear you,
7  and so I answered, "Here I am; your instructions for me are in the book of the law."
8  How I love to do your will, my God! I keep your teaching in my heart."

In Praise of Wisdom (Proverbs 8) GNT

1   Listen! Wisdom is calling out. Reason is making herself heard.
2   On the hilltops near the road and at the crossroads she stands.
3   At the entrance to the city, beside the gates, she calls:
4    I appeal to all of you;  I call to everyone on earth.
5    Are you immature? Learn to be mature.  Are you foolish? Learn to have sense.
6    Listen to my excellent words;  all I tell you is right.
7    What I say is the truth; lies are hateful to me.
8    Everything I say is true; nothing is false or misleading.
9    To those with insight, it is all clear; to the well-informed, it is all plain.
10   Choose my instruction instead of silver; choose knowledge rather than the finest gold.

11   I am Wisdom, I am better than jewels; nothing you want can compare with me.
12   I am Wisdom, and I have insight; I have knowledge and sound judgment.
13  To honor the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil ways and false words.
14   I make plans and carry them out.  I have understanding, and I am strong.
15   I help kings to govern and rulers to make good laws.
16   Every ruler on earth governs with my help, officials and nobles alike.
17    I love those who love me; whoever looks for me can find me.
18    I have riches and honor to give, prosperity and success.
19   What you get from me is better than the finest gold, better than the purest silver.
20    I walk the way of righteousness; I follow the paths of justice,

21   giving wealth to those who love me, filling their houses with treasures.
22   The Lord created me first of all, the first of his works, long ago.
23   I was made in the very beginning, at the first, before the world began.
24   I was born before the oceans, when there were no springs of water.
25   I was born before the mountains, before the hills were set in place,
26   before God made the earth and its fields or even the first handful of soil.
27   I was there when he set the sky in place, when he stretched the horizon across the ocean,
28   when he placed the clouds in the sky, when he opened the springs of the ocean
29   and ordered the waters of the sea to rise no further than he said.  I was there when he laid the earth's foundations.
30   I was beside him like an architect,   I was his daily source of joy, always happy in his presence—

31   happy with the world and pleased with the human race.
32   Now, young people, listen to me.  Do as I say, and you will be happy.
33   Listen to what you are taught.  Be wise; do not neglect it.
34  Those who listen to me will be happy—those who stay at my door every day, waiting at the entrance to my home.
35  Those who find me find life, and the Lord will be pleased with them.
36  Those who do not find me hurt themselves; anyone who hates me loves death.

Praise the Lord (Psalm 150) NIV

1  Praise the Lord.  Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens.
2  Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness,
3  Priase Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the harp and lyre,
4  praise Him with tambourine and dancing, praise Him with the strings and flute,
5  praise Him with the clash of cymbals, praise Him with resounding cymbals.
6  Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.

God's Call And Choice (2Peter3:8) GNT

3  God's divine power has given us everything we need to live a truly religious life through our knowledge of the one who called us to share in His own glory and goodness. 
4  In this way He has given us the very great and precious gifts He promised, so that by means of these gifts you may escape from the destructive lust that is in the world, and may come to share the divine nature.
5  For this very reason do your best to add goodness to your faith; to your goodness add knowledge;
6  to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control add endurance; to your endurance add godliness;
7  to your godliness add brotherly affection; and to your brotherly affection add love.
8  These are the qualities you need, and if you have them in abundance, they will make your active and effective in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

A Call To Holy Living (IPeter1:13:25)GNT

13  So then, have your minds ready for action. Keep alert and set your hope completely on the blessing which will be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14   Be obedient to God, and do not allow your lives to be shaped by those desires you had when you were still ignorant.
15   Instead, be holy in all that you do, just as God who called you is holy.
16   The scripture says, Be holy because I am holy.
17  You call Him Father, when you pray to God, who judges all people by the same standard, according to what each one has done; so then, spend the rest of your lives here on earth in reverence for Him.
18   For you know what was paid to set you free from the worthless manner of life handed down by your ancestors. It was not something that can be destroyed, such as silver or gold;
19   it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw.
20   He had been chosen by God before the creation of the world and was revealed in these last days for your sake.
21   Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from death and gave Him glory; and so your faith and hope are fixed on God.
22   Now that by your obedience to the truth you have purified yourselves and have come to have a sincere love for other believers, love one another earnestly with all your heart.
23  For through the living and eternal Word of God you have been born again as the children of a parent who is immortal, not mortal.
24   As the scripture says,

         All human beings are like grass,
      and all their glory is like wild flowers.
25  but the Word of the Lord remains forever.
This Word is the Good News that was proclaimed to you.

Jesus Prays (John 17:9-26) GNT

9    "I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.
10   All I have is yours, and all you have is mine; and my glory is shown through them.
11   And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one.
12   While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me,  I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the man who was bound to be lost—so that the scripture might come true.
13   And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they might have my joy in their hearts in all its fullness.
14   I gave them your message, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
15   I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to keep them safe from the Evil One.
16   Just as I do not belong to the world, they do not belong to the world.
17   Dedicate them to yourself by means of the truth; your word is truth.
18   I sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world.
19   And for their sake I dedicate myself to you, in order that they, too, may be truly dedicated to you.
20   I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me because of their message.
21   I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.
22   I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one:
23   I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.
24   Father! You have given them to me, and I want them to be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, the glory you gave me; for you loved me before the world was made.
25   Righteous Father! The world does not know you, but I know you, and these know that you sent me.
26   I made you known to them, and I will continue to do so, in order that the love you have for me may be in them, and so that I also may be in them."

Asking For Wisdom/Prayer For Wisdom (Various Scriptures)

The Word of God is very clear on asking for Wisdom. Wisdom, true wisdom comes from God. Jesus is as wisdom as declared in His Word in 1Corinthians 1:30, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God — and righteousness and sanctification and redemption — God’s Word to us says to ask for His wisdom!  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;  he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways (James 1:5-8). So go boldly to the throne of grace through the precious Blood of Jesus Christ and ask for wisdom, call, cry out for wisdom and His promise to us is that our Heavenly Father will give it to you!

Prayer for Wisdom

Heavenly Father, I come to You now in the Name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Heavenly Father, I  thank you that Your Word gives knowledge, instruction, wisdom, and understanding to all who pay attention to its truths. You promised to impart wisdom to me if I will listen to Your Words and attain unto Your wise counsels.  I, therefore, enter Your presence with trust, knowing that You will give me wisdom according to    II Chronicles 1:10. Heavenly Father, fill me with the spirit of wisdom so that I will be able to discern Your will. With You, Lord, there is both strength and wisdom according to Job 12:13. Heavenly Father, let my mouth speak Your wisdom, Lord, because of the righteousness You have imparted to me according to Psalms 37:30. In the hidden part of my life, make me know Your wisdom according to Psalms 51:6. Teach me to number my  days, so that I may gain a heart of wisdom according to Psalms 90:12. Heavenly Father, Your wisdom and knowledge makes me happy, because the gain of it is better than fine gold. By wisdom You founded the earth, and by knowledge You established the heavens according to Proverbs 3:13-20. Christ Jesus, I thank You that my eyes of Your understanding are continually being enlightened; that I may know Your calling, and the riches of Your glory and Your inheritance for Your saints. I thank You for Your exceeding greatness.  I believe, trust and rely on You only.  Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, I believe that You, Heavenly Father raised Jesus Christ from the dead and He now sits at Your right hand in heaven according to Ephesians 1:17-23.  Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Jesus who represents Your power and wisdom to us. Because I am in Him – and desire to always abide in Him. He has been made unto me wisdom, and righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. It is this reality that causes me to glory in You forever according to I Corinthians 1:22-31. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray with thanksgiving.  Amen.

Daily Confession Of Faith

In Christ I am anointed and a powerful person of God.  I am a joint-heir with Jesus and more than a conqueror.  I am a doer of the Word of God and a channel for His blessings.

If God be for me, who can be against me?  I am blessed coming in and I am blessed going out.  My enemies are fleeing before me.  God has commanded His blessing on my storehouses.  He has opened His good treasures and I shall lend and not borrow.  I am the head and not the tail.  He has given me power to make wealth.

I dwell in the secret place.  I have His protection and provision.  God is my refuge, my fortress I am not afraid of the snare of the fowler.  No evil shall befall me and no plague shall come nigh my dwelling.  God has given his angels charge over me and they are bearing me up in their hands lest I dash my foot against a stone, as declared in Psalms 91.

I Peter 2:9 establishes I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.

I Peter 2:24 states, I have been healed by the stripes of Jesus.  Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, sickness, afflictions, infections, or any other disease can not enter my body.  I am without spot or blemish, an intercessor, the righteousness of God, saved, and washed in the Blood of Jesus.

No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against me in judgement, You shall condemn.  This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord.  I am saved from wrath by Him and justified by the Blood of the Lamb.

Lord I pray that those may prosper that love Jerusalem and that peace will be within them and prosperity in their houses according to Psalms 122:6-9.

God Is Light I John1:5-10 (GNT)

5  Now the message that we have heard from his Son and announce is this:  God is light, and there is no darkness at all in him.
6  If, then, we say that we have fellowship with him, yet at the same time live in the darkness, we are lying both in our words and in our actions.
7  But if we live in the light---just as he is in the light---then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from every sin.
8   If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us.
9   But if we confess our sins to God, he will keep his promise and what is right; he will forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing.
10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make a liar out of God, and his word is not in us. 

Last Instructions (2Timothy 3:10-17) 12/31 continued

10 But you have followed my teaching, my conduct, and my purpose in life; you have observed my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance,
11  my persecutions, and my sufferings.  You know all that happend to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra, the terrible persecutions I endured! But the Lord rescued me from them all.
12  Everyone who wants to live a godly life in union with Christ Jesus will be persecuted;
13  and evil persons and impostors will keep on going from bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived themselves.
14  But as for you, continued in the truths that you were taught and firmly believe.  You know who your teachers were,
15  and you remember that ever since you were a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
16  All Scripture is inpired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living,
17   so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.

2Timothy 3:10-17 GNT

The Last Days (2Timothy 3:1-9) GNT

1   Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days.
2   People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious;
3   they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good;
4   they will be treacherous, reckless, and swollen with pride; they will love pleasure rather than God;
5   they will hold to outward form of religion, but reject its real power.  Keep away from such people.
6   Some of them go into people's houses and gain control over weak women who are burdened by the guilt of their sin and driven by all kinds of desires,
7   women who are always trying to learn but who can never come to know the truth.
8   As Jannes and Jambres were opposed to Moses, so also these people are opposed to the truth---people whose minds do not function and who are failures in faith.
9    But they will not get very far, because everyone will see how studpid they are.  That is just what happened to Jannes and Jambres.

Four Things That Determine Your Habits(Various Scriptures)

1)  Words
Speak & read the Word of God daily. 
(Luke 4:4)  But Jesus answered, "The Scripture says, 'Man can not live on bread alone.' "
Words are the most powerful thing in the universe.
Be careful not to hang around people who speak negative things into your life.

2)  Your Thoughts
What are you thinking?  (Philippians 4:8) In conclusion, my brothers, fill your minds with those things that are good and deserve praise; things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.

You must learn how to think and what to think on.   (Philippians 4:6) Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking with a thankful heart.

Cast down imaginations.  Every sin starts with a thought -- therefore you must, determine your thoughts. (IICorinthians 10:4-5)  4 The weapons we use in our fight are not the world's weapons but God's powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds.  We destroy false arguments;  5 we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.

3)  Emotions
Do not be led by your emotions but by actions--not allowing your emotions to control you.  (Psalms 118:24)  This is the day of the Lord's victory; let us be happy, let us celebrate!

4)  Actions
Be doers of the Word.  Do whatever it takes to walk in the Word.  Make a decision to do so. (James 1:21-25)  21  So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct.  Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you. 
22  Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice.  23  Whoever listens to the word but does not put it into practice is like a man who looks in the mirror and sees himself as he is.  24  He takes a good look at himself and then goes away and at once forgets what he looks like.  25  But whoever looks closely into the perfect law that sets people free, who keeps on paying attention to it and does not simply listen and then forget it, but puts it into practice---that person will be blessed by God in what he does.

Learn to examine yourself often.  You must acquire a PhD in SELF.

The Day Of The Lord (Joel 2:28-32)

28  "Afterward I will pour out my spirit on everyone; your sons and daughters will proclaim my mesage;  your old men will have dreams and your young men will see visions.
29    At that time I will pour out my spirit even on servants, both men and women.
30    "I will give warnings of that day in the sky and on the earth; there will be bloodshed, fire, and clouds of smoke.
31    The sun will be darkened, and the moon will turn red as blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
32     But all who ask the Lord for help will be saved.  As the Lord has said, 'Some in Jerusalem will escape; those whom I choose wll survive'."

A Call To Repentance (Joel 2:12-14)

12  "But even now," says the Lord, "repent sincerely and return to me with fasting and weeping and mourning.
13   Let your broken heart show your sorrow; tearing your clothes is not enough."  Come back to the Lord your God. 
       He is kind an full of mercy; he is patient and keeps his promise; he is always ready to forgive and not punish.
14   Perhaps the Lord your God will change his mind and bless you with abundant crops. Then you can offer him grain and wine.

Hope Returns When I Remember This One Thing: (Lamentations 3:19-29)

19  The thought of my pain, my homelessness, is bitter poison.
20  I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed.
21  Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:
22  The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue,
23  Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.
24  The Lord is all I have, and so in him I put my hope.
25  The Lord is good to everyone who trust in him,
26   So it is best for us to wait in patience--to wait on him to save us----
27   And it is best to learn this patience in our youth.
28   When we suffer, we should sit alone in silent patience;
29   We should bow in submission, for there may still be hope.


Lamentations 3:19-29 (GNT)

The Lord Is On My Side (Isaiah 50:7-11)

7   But their insults cannot hurt me because the Sovereign Lord gives me help.  I brace myself to endure them.  I know that I will not be disgraced,
8   for God is near, and he will prove me innocent.  Does anyone dare bring charges against me?  Let us go to court together! Let him bring his accusation!
9   The Sovereign Lord himself defends me---who, then, can prove me guilty?  All my accusers will disappear; they will vanish like moth-eaten cloth.

10  All of you that have reverence for the Lord and obey the words of his servant, the path you walk may be dark indeed, but trust in the Lord, rely on your God.
11  All of you that plot to destroy others will be destroyed by our own plots.  The Lord himself will make this happen; you will suffer a miserable fate.***


Amen:)

*** A personal Amen to these Scriptures

Christ Said To God (Hebrews10:5-7 & 9-10 & 15-18)

5  For this reason, when Christ was about to come into the world, he said to God: "You do not want sacrifices and offerings, but you have prepared a body for me. 
6  You are not pleased with animals burned whole on the altar or with sacrifices to take away sins.
7  Then I said, 'Here I am, to do your will, O God, just as it is written of me in the book of the Law.'"

9  Then he said, "Here I am, O God, to do your will."  So God does away with all the old sacrifices and puts the sacrifice of Christ in their places.
10 Because Jesus Christ did what God wanted him to do, we are all purified from sin by the offering that he made of his own body once and for all.

15  And the Holy Spirit also gives us his witness.  First he says,
16  "This is the covenant that I will make with them in the days to come, says the Lord:  I will put my laws in their hearts and write and them on their minds."
17  And then he says, "I will not remember their sins and evil deeds any longer." 
18  So when these have been forgiven, an offering to take away sins is no longer needed.

The Word Became Life (Jesus) John 1:14 &16-18

1   In beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2    From the very beginning the Word was with God.
3    Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.
4    The Word was the source of life,  and this life brought light to people.
5    The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.
6    God sent his messenger, a man named John,
7    who came to tell people about the light, so that all should hear the message and believe.
8    He himself was not the light; he came to tell about the light.
9    This was the real light—the light that comes into the world and shines on all people.
10  The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did not recognize him.
11   He came to his own country, but his own people did not receive him.
12   Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children.
13   They did not become God's children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was     their Father.
14   The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only Son.

16   Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another.
17   God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18   No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

Happy Birthday Jesus and thank you God for our Lord Jesus Christ!

The Birth of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:18-25) GNT

18 This was how the birth of Jesus Christ took place. His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, but before they were married, she found out that she was going to have a baby by the Holy Spirit.
19  Joseph was a man who always did what was right, but he did not want to disgrace Mary publicly; so he made plans to break the engagement privately.
20  While he was thinking about this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
         Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary to be your wife. For it is by the Holy Spirit that she has conceived.
21  She will have a son, and you will name him Jesus—because he will save his people from their sins. 
22  Now all this happened in order to make come true what the Lord had said through the prophet,
23  A virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and he will be called Immanuel (which means,
         God is with us).
24  So when Joseph woke up, he married Mary, as the angel of the Lord had told him to.
25   But he had no sexual relations with her before she gave birth to her son. And Joseph named him Jesus.

The Lamb Of God (John 1:29-34)

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said,
     There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is the one I was talking about when I said,
     A man is coming after me, but he is greater than I am, because he existed before I was born.
31  I did not know who he would be, but I came baptizing with water in order to make him known to the people of Israel.
32  And John gave this testimony:
      I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and stay on him.
33  I still did not know that he was the one, but God, who sent me to baptize with water, had said to me,
     You will see the Spirit come   down and stay on a man; he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.
34  I have seen it, said John, and I tell you that he is the Son of God.

John 1:29:34

Grace and Truth Came Through Jesus (John 1:16-18)

16 Out of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing after another.
17 God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18  No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known.
John 1:16-18

What Does Christmas Mean To You?

I would like to know what does Christmas mean to you?  Are you one who spreads joy to othersby buying gifts, giving to charities, or working in a soup kitchen without giving little regard to yourself?  Do you go all out for your children in purchasing as many of the things they have asked for?  Do you spend it alone and care not to be around others as if it was just another day?  Do you remember the Reason for the Season?

I hope I receive a variety of responses so that it may bring joy into someone's life this holiday season.

Merry Christmas,

Mary

I Am Living In The Fullest Of God

Psalms 67 Prayer

I know Lord that all my happiness comes from Your mercy; so I pray that You Lord, be merciful to me.
I ask You, Lord, to continue to cause Your face to shine upon me.
Pardon me from all my sins.

God, I need your grace and blessings.
Everything that I have, everything that I need, comes from you and you alone.

Most of all, I need you. I need to know you.
I need to have the light of your face shine on me, so Father, show grace to me.

Bless me abundantly.
But also help me to remember that you give your blessings not just for me alone, but that I might be a blessing for others.
You show me your ways that I might humbly teach your way to others.
You save my life now and for eternity that I might give my life for the salvation of others.

Father, help me to not look so intently on gifts you have given me that I no longer seek your face.
Help me to not cling to my blessings so tightly that I can’t open my hands to give to others or even to receive more from you.
Help me not to fear that if I give, you won’t be able to replenish what I lack.
Help me to trust your sufficiency, your abundance even, and that whatever is for your glory is ultimately for my good–no matter what the initial cost.

In Jesus Name We Pray. Amen.

Children Of God (1John 3:1-10 GNT)

1 See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God's children—and so, in fact, we are. This is why the world does not know us: it has not known God.
2 My dear friends, we are now God's children, but it is not yet clear what we shall become. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.
3 Everyone who has this hope in Christ keeps himself pure, just as Christ is pure.
4 Whoever sins is guilty of breaking God's law, because sin is a breaking of the law.
5 You know that Christ appeared in order to take away sins,[a] and that there is no sin in him.
6 So everyone who lives in union with Christ does not continue to sin; but whoever continues to sin has never seen him or known him.
7 Let no one deceive you, my children! Whoever does what is right is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
8 Whoever continues to sin belongs to the Devil, because the Devil has sinned from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this very reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.
9 Those who are children of God do not continue to sin, for God's very nature is in them; and because God is their Father, they cannot continue to sin.
10 Here is the clear difference between God's children and the Devil's children: those who do not do what is right or do not love others are not God's children.

1John 3:1-10 GNT

Repentance For A Wrong Attitude

Lord Jesus Christ I ask You to forgive me for the sin of grumbling and complaining, for not walking in faith, and living to the destiny that I have. Lord Jesus Christ my whining attitude is a thing of the past, I am going to rejoice in the Lord, I am going to accept the mind of Christ, I am going to talk about good things, glorious things, God’s things, I am going to live with joy unspeakable and full of glory and it is going to begin today, in Jesus Name, Amen.

A Prayer for Forgiveness Psalms 51: 1-14 (GNT)

1 Be merciful to me, O God, ecause of your constant love. Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins!
2 Wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin!

3 I recognize my faults; I am always conscious of my sins.
4 I have sinned against you—only against you—and done what you consider evil. So you are right in judging me; you are justified in condemning me.
5 I have been evil from the day I was born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful.

6 Sincerity and truth are what you require; fill my mind with your wisdom.
7 Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear the sounds of joy and gladness; and though you have crushed me and broken me,
I will be happy once again.
9 Close your eyes to my sins and wipe out all my evil.

10 Create a pure heart in me, O God, and put a new and loyal spirit in me.
11 Do not banish me from your presence; do not take your holy spirit away from me.
12 Give me again the joy that comes from your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.
13 Then I will teach sinners your commands, and they will turn back to you.

14 Spare my life, O God, and save me, and I will gladly proclaim your righteousness.

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the Name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. I plead the

Obeying God's Voice (Deuteronomy 8:17-20)

17-18 If you start thinking to yourselves, "I did all this. And all by myself. I'm rich. It's all mine!"—well, think again. Remember that God, your God, gave you the strength to produce all this wealth so as to confirm the covenant that he promised to your ancestors—as it is today.

19-20 If you forget, forget God, your God, and start taking up with other gods, serving and worshiping them, I'm on record right now as giving you firm warning: that will be the end of you; I mean it—destruction. You'll go to your doom—the same as the nations God is destroying before you; doom because you wouldn't obey the Voice of God,


Message Bible
(Deuteronomy 8:17-20)

Our Father Loves US (1 John 3:1-10)

1 See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.
2 Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.
3 And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.
4 Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.
5 And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.
6 Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is.
7 Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.
8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life[a] is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.
10 So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers[b] does not belong to God.

1 John 3:1-10

Lord Teach Me your Decrees (Psalms 119-33-40)

33   Teach me your decrees, O Lord; I will keep them to the end.
34   Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart.
35   Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.
36   Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money!
37   Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word
38   Reassure me of your promise, made to those who fear you.
39   Help me abandon my shameful ways; for your regulations are good.
40   I long to obey your commandments!  Renew my life with your goodness.

Psalms 119:33-40

Do Not Fear People's Insults Isaiah 51:7-16 (NLT)

7 “Listen to me, you who know right from wrong
you who cherish my law in your hearts.
Do not be afraid of people’s scorn,
nor fear their insults.
8 For the moth will devour them as it devours clothing.
The worm will eat at them as it eats wool.
But my righteousness will last forever.
My salvation will continue from generation to generation.”

9 Wake up, wake up, O Lord! Clothe yourself with strength!
Flex your mighty right arm!
Rouse yourself as in the days of old
when you slew Egypt, the dragon of the Nile.[b]
10 Are you not the same today,
the one who dried up the sea,
making a path of escape through the depths
so that your people could cross over?
11 Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return.
They will enter Jerusalem[c] singing,
crowned with everlasting joy.
Sorrow and mourning will disappear,
and they will be filled with joy and gladness.

12 “I, yes I, am the one who comforts you.
So why are you afraid of mere humans,
who wither like the grass and disappear?
13 Yet you have forgotten the Lord, your Creator,
the one who stretched out the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth.
Will you remain in constant dread of human oppressors?
Will you continue to fear the anger of your enemies?
Where is their fury and anger now?
It is gone!
14 Soon all you captives will be released!
Imprisonment, starvation, and death will not be your fate!
15 For I am the Lord your God,
who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar.
My name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
16 And I have put my words in your mouth
and hidden you safely in my hand.
I stretched out[d] the sky like a canopy
and laid the foundations of the earth.
I am the one who says to Israel,
‘You are my people!’”

Isaiah 51:7-16 (NLT)

Thinking Too Highly Of Yourself (Galatians 6:3-5)

Good News translation: Galatians 6:3-5
3 If someone thinks he is something when he really is nothing, he is only deceiving himself. 4 Each one should judge his own conduct. If it is good, then he can be proud of what he himself has done, without having to compare it with someone else has done.
5 For everyone has to carry his own load.

New Living Translation: Galatians 6:3-5
3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.
4 Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. 5 For we are each responsible for our own conduct.

The Message Bible; Galatians 6:4-5
4-5Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.

Mighty Hand of God (1Peter 5:6-8)

6  Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time.
7  Casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you.
8   Be sober-minded, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

1Peter 5:6-8

Fools Say There Is No God (Psalms 14)

1 Fools say to themselves, "There is no God!" They are all corrupt, and they have done terrible things; there is no one who does what is right.

2 The Lord looks down from heaven at mankind to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship him.

3 But they have all gone wrong; they are all equally bad. Not one of them does what is right, not a single one.

4 "Don't they know?" ask the Lord. "Are all these evildoers ignorant? They live by robbing my people, and they never pray to me."

5 But then they will be terrified, for God is what those who obey him
.
6 Evildoers frustrate the plans of the humble man, but the Lord is his protection.

7 How I pray that victory will come to Isreal from Zion. How happy the people of Isreal will be when the Lord makes them prosperous again!

The Lord Says (Jeremiah 17:5-13)

5 The Lord says, "I will condemn the person who turns away from me and puts his trust in man, in the strength of mortal man.

6 He is like a bush in the desert, which grows in the dry wasteland, on salty ground where nothing else grows. Nothing good ever happens to him.

7 "But I will bless the person who puts his trust in me.

8 He is like a tree growing near a stream and sending out roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green, it has no worries when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit.

9 "Who can understand the human heart? There is nothing else so deceitful; it is too sick to be healed.

10 I, the Lord, search the minds and test the hearts of men. I treat each one according to the way he lives, according to what he does."

11 The person who get money dishonestly is like a bird that hatches eggs it didn't lay. In the prime of life he will lose his riches, and in the end he is nothing but a fool.

12 Our Temple is like a glorious throne, standing on a high mountain from the beginning.

13 Lord, you are Israels's hope; all who abandon you will be put to shame. They will disappear like names written in the dust." because they have abandoned you, the Lord, the spring of fresh water.

God's Obligation

This is from two of my favorite Pastors:
God is not under any obligation to bless anything you come up with (your plans) but He is obligated to bless His plans for your life (His promises).

Proverbs 16:1
We may make our plans, but God has the last word.

Proverb 16:9
You may make your plans, but God directs your actions.

Change Your Thinking

Think on things that are honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report and of virtue. Real change begin when you change the things you think and speak.

One should transform rather than reform.

Real change comes from within and works outward building a foundation which will be lasting. Reformation or reform are those changes done outward and it is hard for them to remain because they have no roots.

Don 't Worry (Psalms 37:3-11)

TRUST
3 Trust in the Lord and do good; live in the land and be safe.
4 Seek your happiness in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desire.
COMMITT
5 Give yourself to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will help you;
6 He will make your righteousness shine like noonday sun.
PATIENCE
7 Be patient and wait for the Lord to act; don't be worried about those who prosper or those who succeed in their evil plans.
RESULTS
8 Don't give in to worry or anger, it only leads to trouble.
9 Those who trust in the Lord will possess the land, but the wicked will be driven out.
JUDGEMENT
10 Soon the wicked will disappear; you may look for them, but you won't find them;
11 but the humble will possess the land and enjoy prosperity and peace.
Psalms 37:3-11

Trust God

He who gave His blood for us, will, oh so surely, every moment, impart its efficacy. Trust Him to do this. Trust God to open your eyes and give you a deeper spiritual insight. Trust Him to teach you to think about the blood as God thinks about it. Trust Him to impart to you, and make effective in you, all that He enables you to see. Trust Him above all, in the power of His eternal High Priesthood, to work out in you, unceasingly, the full merits of His blood, so that your whole life may be an uninterrupted abiding in the sanctuary of God's presence.

I Am Not Moved By Feelings

I am not moved by what I see, hear, smell, touch or taste. I am not moved by reason. I am only moved by Your Spirit and Your Word and I know Your Voice, and I hear Your Voice and I refused to follow strangers according to John 10:27.
 My seed is mighty upon the earth according to Psalms 112:2. 
 Lord Jesus, I ask you to expand my territories; to fill me and increase in the Holy Spirit and anointing with power.
In Jesus name I pray. AMEN

Answered Prayer

In the name of Jesus, I declare that I have a blood-bought right to answered prayer. The Word of God is my guarantee. Father, by prayer, supplication and with thanksgiving, I can make my request known to you. You hear the prayer of the righteous and answer them. Your eyes are on me and Your ears are open to hear my prayers.

I am connected to Christ Jesus, and I am anointed. In everything I do I am more than a conqueror. Because I abide in You, and Your Word abides in me, I see the manifestation of answered prayer. When I speak Your Word, it does not return without accomphising what it was sent to do.

Lord, I thank you that I walk in favor with man and with you. Wherever I go and whatever I do, Your favor goes before me. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much. Therefore, I believe I receive what I pray for right now.

In Jesus' name, Amen!

What is Satan Trying to Steal From You? (Various Scriptures)

Satan job is to steal your identity by making sure you never find out who are.

When the devil finds out that you know who you are--the devil will leave you along. Matthew(4:4) (But Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Man cannot live on bread alone, but needs every word that God speaks."

When you know who are, you don't have to prove it.

The devil knows who you are.
God knows who you are.
But do you know who are?

The Bible is the reflection....it is your mirror....When you read and study the Bible, you can see where you are and God's plan for your life. Proverbs can help you with the wisdom and understanding needed to get there. According to Proverbs 3:5-7 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know.  Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way. Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are; simply obey the Lord and refuse to do wrong.  And Proverbs 2:9-12 says If you listen to me, you will know what is right, just, and fair.  You will know shat you should do. You will becomewis, and your knowledge will give you pleasure.  Your insight and understanding will protect you and prevent you from doing the wrong thing.

In Genesis 1:26-27, the Word of God says "And now we will make human beings: they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small. So God created human beings, making them to be like Himself. He created them male and female.)

You can destroy the body but you can't destroy the spirit.

I am a speaking spirit like God.
Genesis 1:26-27 And now we will make human beings; they will be like us and resemble us. They will have power over the fish, the birds and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small. So God created human beings, making them to be like Himself. He created them male and female.

1John 4:17 wrote Love is made perfect in us in order that we may have courage on the Judgement Day; and we will have it because our life in this world is the same as Christ's.

In Psalms 82:6  'You are gods,' I said: 'all of you are sons of the Most High.'

My Daily Prayer

I affirm that the Word of God is true and I choose to live in obedience to You Lord Jesus and in fellowship with You. Open my eyes and show me the areas of my life that do not please you. Work in me to cleanse me from all ground that would give satan a foothold against me. I do in every way stand in all that it means to be your adopted child and I welcome all the ministry of Your Holy Spirit. Heavenly Father, I pray that now and through my life, you would strengthen and enlighten me, show me the way satan and his demonic spirits are trying to hinder, tempt, lie, and distort the truth in my life. Enable me to be the kind of person what will please you. Enable me to be aggressive in prayer and faith. Enable me to aggressive mentally, to think about and practice Your Word, and to give you, Your rightful place in my life. Heavenly Father I place all of my cares, all of my anxieties, all of my worries and all of MY concerns once and for all on you. I believe, I trust and I rely on You only. In Jesus name I pray. AMEN

You Can't Fool God (Galatians 6:7-9) TEV

7 Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. A person will reap exactly what he plants.
8 If he(she) plants in the field of his natural desires, from it he(she) will gather the havest of death; if he(she) plants in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit he(she) will gather the harvest of eternal life.
9 So let us not become tired of doing good: for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.
