Today’s Prayer (02/04/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, raise up prayer warriors unto Yourself. People who have the heart to do more than think upon other’s needs, but people who will diligently pray for them and help them also. Many times we just need is a miracle and I know that the more people that join in and pray, doors will be opened in a big way. Yes, God, I trust that things will become like the early church. Where You will also send in our day angels from heaven to help people who are in a bind and need a way out. People who are sick and don’t have much time left to live. People who have undergone very hard circumstances and just need hope restored and a new outlook in life. All this can be done when You step in, oh Lord. I know for a surety that the heavens are not closed up for miracles to happen in our day. I also know that angels are already ministering on earth and more of them would even show themselves to us if our faith was there. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me and pointing me on Your righteous and holy path. It is my prayer that others will also come to know You as I have and also be saved. Therefore, shine Your light upon me that people will see You in me and want to know why my life is different. And lead me to people who are ready to receive You. Then, can I witness the hope of the gospel with them and lead them to follow You. You are able to do the rest if we just put ourselves out there in faith. Even by praying for one another, just as we need Your assistance in prayer. I believe in You, Jesus. I love You, Lord. Amen.

Acts 12:1-5

by

Acts 12:1-5 (KJV)
1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

Prayer Warriors

by

As believers in Jesus, we are also prayer warriors. Meaning that we pray for others more than even ourselves.

Today’s Prayer (02/03/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, why is it that the church I know today is so different now? How most people who attend church only live for You while in those walls, but outside of them they are totally different people. This makes no sense and does not resemble the church I see while reading the books of the New Testament. Surely, the New Testament church people earnestly loved You and followed You also. It showed how they lived their lives and sought You often in prayer, fellowship, reading Your Words, and doing as You says. After giving my life to You over six years ago now, my life has not been the same, I also desire to live like the early disciples, but it is hard to find others in the faith who have the same heart like mine. So many people called me a Jesus freak, which is very sad to see. All I wish to do is shine the light that You have given me, and instead, these people don’t see any good but mock me instead. Wow! This generation has become so closed-minded to even speak of their faith in You to others. So many people are now saying to leave them alone for their religion to private to them. And others only go to church on the weekends but have no time for You during the week. Other things in their lives take their precious time away from You, which is so sad. Truly, my heart is burning to serve You every minute and every hour of each day. It is just hard to find another person in the city limits who desires to go out with me and witness the truths of the gospel to the lost. So I pray that You will lead me to people who are ready to follow You. I love You, God. Amen.

Acts 11:15-18

by

Acts 11:15-18 (KJV)
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

The Church Then Compared To Now

by

Few people live for God as the early church did. Instead of being led by the Spirit, people are led by the things of this world.

Today’s Prayer (02/02/2021)

by
Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that we will all learn from You, our King. So often do we get our information on what we should eat and do in this life from other people. We let them lead us, instead of allowing You to be our guide. I am not saying that free agency was not given for a reason, but I would rather follow You, God, than to be led astray by a person who is not in line with Your perfect will. Now, when it comes to being a vegetarian, if people want to do this, who am I to judge. I just pray that they do not tell others it is Your will. This surely goes against what You have already said all throughout the New Testament. That what You have cleansed, concerning meat, to not call unclean. And even when the prodigal son returned did the Father they killed the fatted calf and a feast was made. This cannot be more evident that there is nothing wrong with eating meat. Sure, eating too much of it is where problems can arise like high blood pressure and heart attacks. So, Lord, I pray that You will continue to lead me by the hand. Help me to eat the right amounts of food, that I might also keep the weight off. Truly, You desire to keep us well and healthy, but our appetite gets in the way too often than not. So I pray that You will give us a will to escape the temptations to eat more than we should. And to be slow to push any family tradition or belief system upon others, when the Bible says differently. As Christians, we are to lead people to follow what You have said and not our ideas. And I pray that we always remember this. I love You, Jesus. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.

Acts 10:9-13

by

Acts 10:9-13 (KJV)
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

Daily Prayer:
Oh Lord, I pray that people will not make the same mistakes that happened during the holocaust. It is disheartening to even think of all the Jews who were persecuted because of their faith and later on killed. It takes a very cold-hearted person to want to exterminate a people, just because they don’t agree with their belief system. And what is the saddest is that it was Your people, of whom this happened to. I wish that something could have happened to stop the massacre before it began, but nothing happened until the end, which is very sad. I would like to think that if I had known things were happening to Your believed people, that I would have stepped up and done all I could do to free them. Yes, Jesus, though these people are in heaven now, I wish that their lives were not cut short. And to think of all the babies and little children who lost their lives in the concentration camps also is the most disheartening thing of all. Surely, children are so precious, and to take away their lives before they had any chance at life is the worst thing a person can do in this life. I truly hate the thought of abortion but know that the onslaught that took place during WW2 and the holocaust is as bad. It is my prayer that every one of these Jewish people came to know You, Jesus, as their true Messiah. Surely, Your love did do that for them, that they may be rescued, even if it had to be in death for most of them. Yes, in heaven, will they peacefully rest after all the turmoil they went through. And one day I hope to see them, even with You as my King. I love You, Jesus. Amen.

Revelation 13:14-16

by

Revelation 13:14-16 (KJV)
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.
