Today’s Prayer (11/06/2019)
Lord, I am amazed at your mighty power and all you can do for our lives. Surely, we are weak, but are made strong in Your hands. Though the battle is raging, You are our defender and gives us courage to fight the enemy. You are there to give us counsel and show us exactly what to do. Thank You Lord. I love it when You show me things. Your counsel and even visions are the greatest help I could ever need. Thank You for never letting me down and for continually filling me with the Spirit and your love. I love You so much God. I am so joyful, because You are near. Thank You for defending me and for being my shield. You have never let me know down, and I trust that You never will. What a great God I serve. Hallelujah, for You are alive and working in my life and others in the faith. You reign supreme and I am Your witness for all the world to know of your truth and might. May people from all the world be filled with the Holy Spirit, that they know what is true wisdom and counsel. Then will they know what to do and believe in, in this life, and also know the right path to follow. Thank You for guiding my life, and putting me on Your path of righteousness. I didn’t deserve Your compassion and mercy, but still You came to my rescue and have been my helpmate. Since the day that I gave You my whole heart, I have been washed by Your mercy. Lord, thank You so much. Please continue to be with me. I need You to light up my life, that I may not fall victim to sin and temptation. I trust in You to build me up with Your armor. Then, can I go to battle and come out of victorious. I can do all things, because Your Spirit dwells inside of me. Thank You Jesus. I love You. Your ways are holy and I honor You. All the praise and glory to Your Name. Amen.

46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

David And Goliath

Today’s Prayer (11/05/2019)
Oh Lord, I love You. You are my greatest joy of all. I can have nothing, but if I have You in my life, I am happy. It is because You are the supplier of my joy and comfort, that I have strength in this life. The enemy has no chance to take me down, for You are my shield. You give me peace even when trials come, because You are always there to lift me up. Truly, there are many distractions in this life that could keep me away from You, but the devil can keep trying, for You mean more to me than the worldly things He offers. Lord, I’d rather give my time to You in studying the Bible, in prayer, praise and worship, and doing Your will, than to binge watch things on TV. Surely, You mean more to me than allowing wickedness to creep into my life. So continue to shield my eyes from the wickedness of this world. Keep me on your righteous path. Help me to continue to seek You first in my life. I also pray for others that are currently in sin and have their priorities backwards. Lord, convict them of the bad choices they are making, and direct them on Your holy path. Many people are seeking things that they deem important, when really it only goes against Your will. So help them not be wise in their own eyes any longer. Then, will they make better decisions when it comes to how much TV they watch and what they watch. Also, will their time spent on their phone and other devices be limited, while allowing the Bible to be accessed more. It is when we put You first is when reading Your Words and praying becomes a priority in our lives. Otherwise, we will only make excuses when it comes to reading, praying and even doing Your will. Lord, You are worth living for, and I pray that everyone that says they believe will also start believing in this also. Amen.
Proverbs 3:5-7
Proverbs 3:5-7 (KJV)

Priorities In Life

Today’s Prayer (11/04/2019)
Oh Lord, I pray for every marriage that is struggling right now. You are our healer and have the power to bring restoration to it. Marriage is hard enough when we have financial issues, but when love is missing, that can really be difficult. And I know, Lord, how important love really is, in order to carry on in a marriage. Since divorce is never a good option, that must mean that You can take every bad situation and breathe new life into it. We can’t make things right on our own, but through Your strength and mighty power are we healed. So I pray for a complete restoration in my marriage also. May my spouse fully surrender to You, that You may pour into her as You pour into me daily. I know that You can do all things and can bring the love we once had back in full strength. Surely some people say that it only takes two in a marriage for things to get better, but I know that this is false. It takes three, because only by You and Your mighty hand can anything get better. It is when the person in the wrong cries out to You in their confessions, do they see what evil state they are in and repent. This turning away from sin and unto You is what saves them and their marriage from hard ache and divorce. So I pray for Your conviction to enter every spouses heart that is causing a rift in their marriage. They surely are not right with You, if they are doing this. And if it both spouses that need to work on things, lead them to know what to do, in order for things to get better. Your counsel is greater than our own or what we can receive from people. I love You and respect Your counsel for my life. I am happier and there is more love in my life and others when I honor You. Amen.
Matthew 5:31,32
Matthew 5:31,32 (KJV)
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Today’s Inspiration (11/04/2019)
For love to be restored in a marriage, it takes both spouses to abide in the Lord’s love. Then, will they learn how to forgive.
When Marriage Is Hard
Counseling is an option when our marriage is on the rocks. This is especially true if your spouse is willing to go down this road. Re-courting our spouse also helps.
Today’s Prayer (11/03/2019)
Oh Lord, thank You for anointing Your people and myself with the gift of the Holy Spirit. We are so lost without You and are truly grateful to have true direction in this life. Every time we come to You, we find counsel and wisdom and are so humbled to receive it. Thank You for giving us knowledge and leading us on your path of righteousness. This is what we need to be happy. There is hope, because You have us by the hand and are leading us now. Apart from You, there is no joy, but only guilt and shame. We can find joy for a time, but it never lasts and are always back trying to find something better in life that will fulfil our lusts. These types of feelings are so destructive and never lead me to happiness, Lord. I am only more desirous of things that I don’t have and need and covetousness enters my wicked heart. So Lord, I pray that I may never be ruled over by the flesh again. Instead, I pray that You will lead me and guide me. My desire is to have you build me up with Your strength and not my own any longer. From this day forward, will follow You and not just say I believe. It is my true desire to make You Lord of my life and have You remove anything that is causing a right in our relationship. So may there be less of me and more of You in my life. Only by abiding in You can I ever experience what true joy is like. You are my King and I come to You now in honor and praise. I exalt Your holy Name, Jesus. Please help me know what to do now and I will do more than listen, but follow Your every footsteps. It is with great pleasure to do whatsoever You command me. I love You Lord. Amen.
1 Samuel 16:6,7
1 Samuel 16:6,7 (KJV)
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
Today’s Inspiration (11/03/2019)
The Lord Jesus wants to anoint you with the Spirit. So make Him Lord of your life and the Holy Spirit will come like fire.
David’s Anointing From God
