Today’s Prayer (10/15/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that every person who is a part of the Mormon Church will repent and come out of that cult, starting today. Oh how deceived they are into following false prophets. Surely, You have warned us over two thousand years ago to not be deceived into following people who say they are prophets and apostles and are not. But people have not listened and have gone their own ways into these dark paths. And I fear, God, that millions upon millions of Mormons are now suffering in hell because of what Joseph Smith did. He is such a liar, and although I am upset at what he has done to my family, I know that you are a just God and he will get exactly what is coming to him. I can’t believe that I was deceived for 33 years of my life into believing that Mormonism was true. And now most of my family are still under the deceptions therein. They cannot see the destruction that comes before them, but I can. You have given me eyes to see and ears to hear You. Therefore, I can see that this false prophet is leading as many people to hell with him. And it was Satan’s plan, in the beginning, to lead away people captive into following a false gospel, which appears good in their own sight. This makes me so mad, God, that people I know and love are under Satan’s deception, even now. I wish I could come to each of my brothers and sisters, and their families, and tell them the truth. That only You, Jesus, can save us. Not a religion, or our works, but only what You did for us on the cross can wash us clean. I believe in You, Jesus. Please give me opportunities to speak to my family and others who are lost. I wish to lead them to You before it is too late. I love You. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (10/14/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that You will remove the blinders off of every Mormon person’s eyes. That they will begin to learn from Your hand and not by corrupt men any longer. There are many false beliefs in Mormonism, especially with their belief in many gods, which I cannot stand. Surely, this is such a terrible belief, for it is the same thing that Satan wanted from the beginning. Just like he wanted to be elevated to godhood, but then was cast down to the earth, now he wants his followers to think the same thing. Anything he can do to make a person believe they are on Your side but really are not is a part of his evil schemes. So Lord, break these chains of darkness in every person in that cult. I love the Mormons but cannot stand to think that they are on the pathway to hell because of their false gospel, teachings, and idolatry in their church. How can they continue to believe in what their false prophets and teachers are telling them and still feel good about themselves? Are they not reading the Bible, in order to fact check what people have said? We cannot believe everything a person says, for it could very well be blasphemy to Your Words. So, God, I know that most of my family are Mormon and that they are very lost in that faith. I love to visit and spend time with them, but in my heart, I wish they would be open to hearing and learning the truth of the gospel before it is too late. Would You please make a way for me and others to reach them? I know that even among my siblings are among your elect few, who are able to hear the true gospel message of the Bible and be saved through Your blood Jesus. Make this so Lord. I believe in You. I trust in You. Amen.

Many False Gods In Mormonism

To believe in many gods, or that you will become one, means that you deny what the Bible says. This is breaking God’s commandment.

Today’s Prayer (10/13/2020)

Thank You, Lord, for giving me words to speak this day. I knew that You desired of me not to go in my house and sit down when I got home from work, but to go forth and preach the gospel. It was so evident that even You sent a young lady to plead for me to go out and preach. Thank You, God, for sending her to my car, as I got home. I had witnessed to her many times in the past and this time she ran to me and told me how she was feeling. How in her house it is very hard for her to praise You, for so many wicked things are happening in it daily. That she needed prayed over and uplifted through the Bible and music. Surely, You sent her to me, to awaken me also. I was ready to go through my normal routine of reading the Bible, writing a devotional, and praying afterward, but today was much more than that. You were desirous that I would show actions also. How I cannot continue to go forth filling myself up with Your Word and not allowing others to be benefited from it also. And if You gave me a gift of preaching and teaching, I should very well use this gift while I still have breath. No sickness was going to bring me down today, for You had a word to share with people in my neighborhood. I know that I am not mighty in speech, but with Your words flowing deep in my soul, I can carry on for a very long time. Even do You bring verses from the Bible to my remembrance as I am preaching. I am amazed how many times it is word for word, for only You could show me those verses in the very hour I am speaking. Lord, I trust in You. Continue to use me as Your willing servant this day and forever. I love You, God. I give You praise and glory. Amen

Romans 6:3-5

Romans 6:3-5 (KJV)
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Preaching In My Neighborhood

Go forth and preach the gospel. Even in places like your neighborhood. God asks that we open our mouths and He will fill it.

Today’s Prayer (10/12/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that my ongoing chronic illness will one day be healed. That You will bring restoration to my nasal passageways and my throat and chest. It is difficult living with constant nasal and throat congestion and to find no relief. People have prayed for me and I have not been healed yet, but I know that if it is Your will, this will one day happen. But if that is not the case for me while in this life, then I will continue to preach the gospel and witness to the lost in my dire state. I will not let a sickness keep me from carrying forth the gospel message to the lost. Satan desires to have me, and for me to doubt You because of my afflictions, but that will never happen. Just like Job never lost hope in You, I will never stop praising You and calling upon Your Name. You know I love You, Lord. I live my life for You and am Your willing servant. So as Your servant, I will go out continue to write daily devotionals and to bring lost souls unto You. If I am still sick years from now, this may be more difficult in the flesh, but not in my heart’s desire to serve You. And Lord, I do pray that many people will join in and pray for me and others also. I am not the only one who suffers from a chronic illness, day in and day out, and cannot find relief. This type of life is terrible and others also need not only Your healing power over them, as I do, but also a relief. We trust that You will come to our rescue and lift us up when it feels so dark. One day, all this sickness and disease will be over. Because You have said it, I believe it. I can’t wait to be with You in heaven, Jesus, and no longer have to experience sickness or death. I love You, Lord. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.

2 Corinthians 12:6,7

2 Corinthians 12:6,7 (KJV)
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

Today’s Prayer (10/11/2020)

Lord, there are so many people in this world that need forgiveness. This world is very dark and it isn’t just because of how sinful it is, but because people are also depressed and very sad. Even now, there are people who are desirous to take their own lives because of how they have been hurt. So many people just want to find true love and joy that lasts, but are unable to find it. It is because You are not only missing in their lives, but also forgiveness from their family and friends are missing too. Wow! How broken has this world become? Where a lot of family members are not even talking to each other anymore, let alone visiting each other. A text here and there is more like it, where that friendship they once had is now missing. And God, if love is missing among family members, people won’t help but try to find love through friends instead. Finding love through our friends is fine, but when these same friends also hurt us, then it can be very difficult to think anything good of ourselves and others. So Lord, what people are missing is Your presence in their lives. If You were with them, then forgiveness towards one another would come naturally. You would be able to rip out of our lives every feeling of bitterness and anger, while replacing them with Your love towards one another. So if people have hurt us, our desire will be to come to them and forgive them. We will strive to fix any family relationship problem with open arms. But if we cannot look past ourselves, then that depression will continue to set in. It isn’t until we allow You to help us love one another as You love us is when true love will be experienced in this life. I love You, God. I believe in You. Amen.

Mark 11:24-26

Mark 11:24-26 (KJV)
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Why I Forgive

Forgiving one another as God forgives us comes easier when we allow God to remove all the anger and bitterness from our hearts.

Today’s Prayer (10/10/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that people’s desire to read and listen to the Bible daily increase. I just don’t understand why only a few people who say they are Christian or believers in You, Jesus, actually study Your word daily. But still, they find time to watch their favorite TV Shows and movies. Even do they find time using their phone apps, along with their computer and gaming consoles. What we have God is that priorities are messed up. And if they do not repent and start making time for You, then souls will be at stake of going to hell when they die. How awful would this be, God? For it is a fearful thing to be in Your presence, knowing that we willfully sinned against You and never truly repented. How we made other things our idols, while not allowing You to be the God of our lives. And I remember something very specific that You said, Jesus. You called every person who believes in You to seek first the kingdom of God. It wasn’t telling people, “oh, do this if you want to. It is just me advising you of my will, but do what you want and just believe.” This would be blasphemy and I pray that people do not think this of You, God. But we do have people who think that repentance is of the past and is no longer needed. That faith in You is enough. Wow! Didn’t you say to “repent ye, and believe the gospel?” I believe what You have taught us. If people would just read or listen to the Bible daily, then they would have Your truth in their lives. They would no longer be led by their own flesh, but by the Holy Spirit. This is why I study Your Word daily, pray often, and seek Your hand in my everyday life. I want more of You and less of me. I say cast out anything that is holding me back from going all-in for Your kingdom. I love You, Jesus. I believe in You. Amen.

Today’s Prayer (10/09/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that people will begin to start praying for themselves and others. That this desire to pray will be increased more than ever before. I love to pray and to know that You are so near. Surely, I have done some terrible things, but Your forgiveness and mercy are ever for me. Thank You, God. I wish every person would understand how merciful and kind You really are. You are always drawing us back when we fall into sin. You are slow to wrath and gracious to forgive us when we do return. Wow! What a great God You are. It is because You are so good to us that we know that You can build us up to do mighty things in Your kingdom. Even the Holy Spirit can do healings and other miracles in and through us. Therefore, I know that each time I call upon Your Name, I will receive answers and help for my needs. Even people who are near me and far distant will receive strength and comfort because of my prayers for them. We have been taught through Your Word to always keep You in our remembrance, and also the needs of other people, and I finally know why. The commandment to love You with all our heart, mind, and strength, means to look to You in faith, even in constant prayer and supplication. And we love our neighbor by not leaving them out of our prayer requests. Lord, we know that You can do great and mighty things through people who put their trust in You. I believe in You. I love You, my Lord Jesus. Keep me ever in Your presence. Amen.

Philippians 4:6

Philippians 4:6 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Why I Pray

Be constant in prayer. Pray for your needs and other people’s also. Remember to thank God in the good times and bad.

Today’s Prayer (10/08/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that we will all become more loving and kind towards one another. That all of our lustful and covetous thoughts will be cast out of our lives. That we stop our selfish ambitions and learn how to be selfless in all that we do. We cannot do anything good unless You are with us. We cannot learn how to be loving towards our neighbor, unless You are leading us. For many years did I think that I could gain all the earthly treasure in life, and then gain happiness from those things. However, I was so wrong. These worldly treasures all became useless over time, and I always needed something better. There was never true satisfaction for what I had, and this joy I thought I had never lasted. Thank You for opening my eyes to my lust, that I could finally discover what true love and joy is like. It isn’t found in earthly treasures, but in doing the will of my Father. Yes, Lord, doing Your will is what leads me to true happiness that never fails. I can now love my neighbor as myself, because Your love is in me. Thank You, God. I love You. I believe in You. Amen.

1 Corinthians 10:23,24

1 Corinthians 10:23,24 (KJV)
23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.
