Today’s Prayer (06/14/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that people will have compassion in their hearts to help individuals who are lost and hurting. This world we live in is in dire straights, where darkness has filled the earth. Only by Your light beaming into people’s lives, can new life be restored unto them. Even by Your majestic power, can broken lives be restored in full. I believe in You, Lord. Your ways are higher. I just pray that more people would be willing to take a stand for You in these dark times that we live in. This means walking out our faith and not just saying that we believe. That all people that say they believe in You will go forth and be a light unto this lost generation. People need to know that as Christians, we are made different in Christ the Lord. Our lives are set apart for a greater purpose, and this is to know You and do Your will instead of the world. We can be guided, but only if You have us by the hand. We can make it through difficult times, but only if You are supplying our peace that we need each day. Storms will come and make life difficult for everyone, it just matters if You are there with us, so that things will be easier to bear. As for me, I trust in You. You are the rock of my salvation. To know You, Jesus, is all I desire. To live out what You have called me to is all that I desire to do and accomplish. May Your thoughts become my thoughts. May Your commands become even more sweeter to my taste, as life goes on. I love Your ways, but I pay that I will love them even more, as to serve You more diligently than I ever have in the past. Keep my life unspotted from the evils of this world, while giving me over to that is which is pure and holy. I love You, Lord. I give You praise and glory, this day and forever. Amen.

2 Kings 11:17,18

2 Kings 11:17,18 (KJV)
17 And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people; between the king also and the people.
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord.

Today’s Prayer (06/13/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that more people in our day will stop making images, statues, people, and things their gods. Every idol worshipper will not inherit Your kingdom, so to these people, we must call them to repentance. That they will worship only You, Lord, as their one true God. Anything else needs to be exterminated out of their lives, lest they experience the second death in the lake of fire. Lord, I pray that Your will, will be done, no matter the consequences upon the wicked. Surely, the wicked will perish in their unbelief, lest they repent and be right in Your sight. I pray that more people will do this and come to You before it is too late. It is my desire to see many more souls be saved and go to heaven when they die. I know that hell is filling up every minute of every day, because of those people who are dying. So I pray that fewer people will have to go there in the near future. Surely, people do not have to experience torment and pain in the life to come, if they would just decide to follow You, Jesus. All that matters is that people begin to seek You and not the world, and then You can do a mighty work in their lives. Even every false belief can be cast out, and Your true teachings of the Bible can bring forth fruit in their hearts. Thank You for dying for our sins. Thank You for making a way for salvation to come to more people. If people of all walks of life would simply call upon Your Name, then they would be saved from death to life. I am saved, because of the sacrifice You made on the cross. You have heard my cries and have had compassion for my soul. I may have been a vile sinner, but You have cleansed me and washed me of all my sins. You have torn from my life all idols and every unclean thing, that I might serve You valiantly. Thank You, Lord. All I desire to do heed Your will from here on out. No matter what it is, I will go forth and do it. Your ways are higher and lead us on the path to eternal life. I love You, Lord. I give You praise and glory, this day and forever. Amen.

2 Kings 10:28-30

2 Kings 10:28-30 (KJV)
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
30 And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

Today’s Prayer (06/12/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that people will wake up to their wicked ways before they die. May these people of the world no longer be a worker of iniquity come death. There is still time for them to repent and get right with You, God. However, time is ticking and every minute that I pray this prayer, I fear that someone is dying and going to hell. What a sad place this will be for these people when they open their eyes in fire and torment. There is a way out for these wicked and evil people. They don’t have to suffer when they die. You already paid the price for our sins, but it is up to us to repent and get right with You before it is too late. I just fear that this pleading from me and others for these evil people is only going in one ear and out the other. This causes me to shiver inside, for I know that death and hell await them. I wish that many more souls would repent and be allowed into Your heavenly abode, but I cannot twist their arms. I can only talk truth with people that will listen and hope that the seeds that were planted gave root. That the Holy Spirit convicted them of their sins, in order to lead them to confession and repentance. Your hand of mercy is for us still, but most people deny their chance to be cleansed. So Lord, wake people up to their evil standing before You now. May they see themselves in the mirror of how You see them. That they may know that their lifestyle is evil and needs to be changed, in order to be saved. Surely, there is no playing games with You God. We are either for You or against You. There is no middle ground. There is no faith with words alone, but with action only. This is saving faith. I love You, Lord. Your ways are true. Any other way is a lie from Satan. Lead me on Your path, that I might not be destroyed, but go to heaven when I die. My desire is to do Your will now and forever. My heart is Yours. Amen.

Psalm 5:4-6

Psalm 5:4-6 (KJV)
4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

Jezebel’s Death

Jezebel’s death is an example of what happens to a person who fights against God, and His prophets, and goes after false gods instead.

Sinner’s Prayer (06/11/2020)

Oh Lord, I am so sorry for what I have done. I know that I have done terrible things, which are evil in Your sight, and I just ask for You to forgive me. I am ready to give these things up today. I confess these things to You because only You can forgive me. Hear my cries and have compassion for my soul. This I plead. I need Your mercy to get over what I have done. You are the Lord God of all and I freely accept You as Lord of my life also. Help lead me from here on out. May I begin to live the life that You have prepared for me. Take this old life and make me new. Cleanse me of all my sins. I offer You my heart and my soul to You, that I might do Your will instead of my own. I ask that You do a work in me now and for the rest of my life. I am ready and willing to go and do what You would ask of me. Lead me by the hand, God. What You desire, I will do. I fully surrender to You now. Change my life, that I might walk in Your light, and that darkness may scatter. I desire to be comformed to Your ways and not my own. Lead me from temptation, dear Lord. I need Your help all the rest of my days. From here on out will I seek You daily in Your Word and in prayer, that You build me up through the Holy Spirit. Give me the strength to resist the devil. I know that only through Your Name, Jesus, can we be saved. Therefore, I proclaim that You are my Savior, Lord, and God, whom I trust. From now on and until the end of my time will I follow You. I give You, Jesus, glory, and praise. Amen.

Acts 3:19

Acts 3:19 (KJV)
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

Today’s Prayer (06/10/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that people will become more desirous to live for You and not their own lives. That doing Your will, will become a priority for them. That when people say they love You, that they will actually mean it. That instead of just worshipping in church, that they will also worship You in their home, work, car, and on the streets. Even every day will they come to You in prayer and studying Your Word, which is in the Bible. What I am asking for is more people that are genuine to their belief system and not just say something they don’t care for. Each day I look around and see that Your harvest is so ripe, but there is hardly anyone available to do things for Your kingdom. Instead, people make it a point to tune into their favorite TV Show, sports team, movies, or video games, while all this time is wasted away. So many people that say they are Christians are no different than people of this world. At least the wicked are not hypocrites, but actually do what they say they believe in. Lord, my heart is heavy just knowing that even pastors are teaching their congregation that being obedient to You is no longer important, but to have faith alone. To this, I wonder if these pastors are really saved and covered by Your blood, Jesus. If they were, then they would know that our love for You is shown through our obedience to You. Surely, we love You as we keep Your commandments, as You have taught us, oh Lord. And I know that it was never supposed to be difficult, for You have sent the Holy Spirit to be our comforter. Therefore, doing Your will is that much easier to accomplish. Doing Your will should never be a struggle, for we have the Holy Spirit and even Your angels to bear us up when things are hard. I give You thanks, dear Lord, for being there for us. Even the day that we commit to believe in and do Your will, though it may seem hard in the beginning. I know that You will open doors and allow us to shine forth as You have planned for our lives. Thank You, Lord. I believe in You and will follow You all my days. I love You more than anything. Amen.

Matthew 9:35-38

Matthew 9:35-38 (KJV)
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Today’s Prayer (06/09/2020)

Oh Lord, thank You for this day and every day that I have breath. It is a pleasure to wake up and know that there is a new day to serve You. It brings me great joy just to follow You and no longer be pained because of my old lifestyle. Thank You for hearing my cries and helping me turn from my sins and follow You. It was sure worth it. I would not want to go back to my old way of living for any amount of money in this world. This new life is meaningful and I feel so much love and peace now. My life has been amazing, since my day of baptism. You have filled me up with the Holy Spirit, the day I came out of the water, and now Your fire radiates out of my whole being. My only desire now is to be a light unto the world. Not to experience the pleasures of the flesh, but to experience the pleasures of the Holy Spirit. There is joy in this world and it is found in You. Everything else is only for a time and space and often has consequences with it, but Your joy is eternal and brings along with it a clean conscience. It is much different than feeling pleasures in the moment, but then being wracked with guilt afterward. What You offer us has no pain involved with it. If there are tears, it is tears of joy and longsuffering. One thing I know is that sickness still comes our way, but having Your presence near makes it easier to endure. I know that this life is a vapor and will end sooner than we know it. Therefore, I see each day as the day of Your return or my last day to serve You. So I go about my day as if it is my last. I will not leave this earth, having fallen back into sin and death, but will continue to serve You valiantly. I only wish to love You and my neighbor. If people are blessed, I am happy. If people come to You and are helped in any way, then I am well pleased. I love You more than anything the world offers. All I desire is to be with You, Lord Jesus, now and forever. One day, I will run to You when this life is over. I will run into Your arms, dear Lord, and tell You how much I love You, praise you, and adore You. Amen.

Ephesians 5:6-9

Ephesians 5:6-9 (KJV)
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

A Christian Lifestyle

A Christian lifestyle is different than wicked people in this world. Therefore, we are no longer partakers in their evil deeds.

Today’s Prayer (06/08/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that more people will develop a generous and kind heart. That more people will desire to help the less fortunate, and also give what they can for their needs. I know that I have gained a lot from the jobs You have given me, so it is the least I can do to help other people who have fallen into difficult and dark times. Lord, help me find people like this, that I might pray with them, and help them in their time of need. I will do all that I am able, with Your by my side. You are the supplier of all of our needs, and I just pray that what I have to offer will bless other people’s lives. I may not be rich, but what I do have can go a long way to helping Your kingdom and those in it. Lord, take everything that You have given me now and allow others to benefit because of it. You have given me so much and are also able to take away. As for me, please take and give to the homeless, the pour, the full-time missionaries, and anyone else who is hurting financially right now. Who is it for me to take and not give to someone else who is more in need than myself. My money is Your money. I love You more than what money can give me. What brings me the greatest joy, Lord, is what Your money and my service can do for the growth of Your kingdom. Surely, I am only a spec of sand on a seashore, but if more people were willing to give to others in need, then more and more people would be blessed also. Lord, it is my desire to deliver peace, even the peace that goes beyond our own comprehension. The peace, joy, love, and compassion, that can only come from You. So dwell with me all my days, that people will see You in me. I only wish to be a blessing in other people’s lives, not a burden. I love You, Lord. It is a great pleasure to also love my neighbors as myself. Amen.

2 Kings 8:1-6

2 Kings 8:1-6 (KJV)
1 Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
2 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

Today’s Prayer (06/07/2020)

Oh Lord, I believe in You. I trust in You. I know that You are there for us now as You have always been there for us over the centuries. It is just up to people now to realize what You can do for them, before any impact can be made for them for the better. I know first hand that Your hand of mercy is real. That You are able to take a person like me and move and shape me into the person I ought to be for Your kingdom. My amount of sins were great, but You still looked past them and had mercy for my soul. I am amazed that You were able to take me by the hand and also kick Satan to the curb. I was not left helpless, but have Your comfort and peace to carry me onward all my days. Even temptation is easier to withstand, because You dwell with me in my heart. Wow. You are such a great God, who loves us more than we will ever know. Thank You for protecting me these many months and years since I came to You in prayer. The enemies have been near, even at the door, and still You have not let me face them alone. Thank You for building me up and allowing me to have the necessary strength to fight these battles. I know that You are always watching out for me and others that truly love You with all our hearts. Even Your angels are here also to help us, that we may not fall. They comfort us, and I am so grateful to have them near me at all times. One day I know that I will be with You, my Lord, and all the angels in Your heavenly abode. What a wonderful time this will be. Until then, keep me safe from the storms of life. Help me draw near unto You and not the things of this world. Keep me from falling into sin, that I may the Holy Spirit with me at all times. My desire is to shine Your light, that all people will see You in me. Then will more people desire to have what You have given me, and also run to You as their personal Savior. I love You, Lord. Amen.
