“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12)
Oh Lord, thank You for this day. I am grateful that Your hand is in my life and the direction you gave me today. My thoughts became much better as my mind and intentions were focused upon You. While my family was away at the store, it gave me time to ponder about the salvation You have given and what it means to have You in my life. This life has been so dark until You came in and rescued me. All I knew is that I wanted to be saved but didn’t know that I could find this out while in this life. Instead, I hate to wait until I was dead to know if I was to pass through into paradise or spend time in hell. Thankfully, my eyes have been opened and I now know for a surety that I am saved. I can tell every which person that asks me that You came into my life and changed it. I was lost and had no direction from anyone whom I could trust. But this is no more the case. You have placed in my life many people who are real Christians that have impacted me spiritually. Lord, I love You so much. Thank You for saving me. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that You will be the one that makes me wise and not man-made wisdom from this world. If I am learning from You, then what I am believing in is true. God, it is my desire to know You and that is why I come before You now. You have done a great work in my life, and for this reason, I will gladly tell others about You. No matter what people say about my testimony, I will continue to serve You with all my might, mind, and strength. Your works are greater than anything man-made. I have seen some amazing things in my lifetime, but nothing is better than what You have done in my life and the lives of millions of other believers. To be raised from death to life is the greatest miracle of all. I was dead in my sins until You came and rescued me, Jesus. I confess that You are Lord and the God of the heavens. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, open the eyes of the homosexual people in this world. What these wicked people are doing is disgusting. These people are following Satan to the pits of hell and aren’t aware of it. I would love to see many of them come to You, Jesus, for salvation, but I know for most of them this will never happen. These people think I hate them just because I hate their sin and speak against it, but this is untrue. I love them so much as to tell them the truth. This world is going downhill fast. It is like sinking sand with the LGBTQ Community leading the charge. Satan is the god of this world and is doing all He can to lead Your best creation to hell with him. I love them nonetheless, although they may see me as a hater and a bigot. God, the people I see doing the hating are supporters and people of this community. They cuss out in anger and disgust toward Christian protestors. This is so crazy, knowing how upside down this world has become. Evil is now good and good is evil. Instead of two genders, male and female, we have a third gender for those people who don’t want to participate in either gender. God, wake them up before it is too late. Your mercy is for them. I love You, Jesus. I trust in You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that the LGBTQ Community and their supporters will repent. To no longer cover up their convictions towards sin and their conscience, but allow You to help them overcome their addictions. Homosexuality and its temptations must be very difficult for people to overcome, and people need You to deliver them. People can fight against it for a time until it becomes too hard that they begin to cover it up. However, I know that You will keep bringing people into their lives in order to convict them of their sins. If it is street preachers at pride festivals, family members who are firm in their faith, and even friends and coworkers who are outspoken for what is true and faithful. God, do a work in the lives of many more homosexuals. I have seen many of these people receive You and their desires for this sin is no more. You can do all things, even to bring these people out of darkness and into Your light. God, we need Your deliverance in these days of Sodom and Gomorrah. Your return is soon at hand, where the wicked will soon be destroyed. But I am thankful for the thousands of people who are coming out of the LGBTQ for Your sake. Deliver them, even now, who are reading this message. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will turn to You with their whole hearts. Not simply saying they believe in You, but practice what they preach. Many people say they believe in You, but at the same time, don’t live for You. Instead of coming to You in prayer and Bible study, people’s attention is on their phones or TV. This is really sad. I can just imagine what is running through people’s minds when people die and knew that they gave up their most precious time for stupid things that cannot save them. You have judged them justly, and unfortunately, these people I love are in hell. God, this life is short. Put an urgency in peoples’ hearts to get right with You before it is too late. Do what You did with my friend Mark Rasmussen. It was two months ago that I called him up, while he was lying down dying of cancer. Truly, truly, he confessed his sins, proclaimed that You are Lord, and asked for You to save Him. God, I know that You heard his prayers that day. We were both comforted as we talked and prayed together. Lord, He is in heaven with You now. I can’t wait to see my brother again. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we will give You the type of reverence and respect that You deserve. I fear the Lord, my God, who is above the earth and in the heavens. You are worthy to be feared and praised above all. I know that You are a consuming fire and will return in flames of fire also, Jesus. This will cause people to fear You on that great and dreadful day of the Lord, although Your people have already feared You and given You glory since the beginning of time. God, it is a pleasure to have the King of Glory in my life. Do I deserve Your presence with me? Absolutely not. Thankfully, Your compassion and mercy have consumed me and my old life is no more. I am alive in You, Jesus. God, I love You, and doing Your will is the least I can do. Speak to me as my heart is open to receive Your wise counsel. Lead and guide me as You instruct the angels in heaven. As flames of fire that do Your will perfectly as it is in heaven, I will also perform Your duties as best as I can. One day, when this temple body comes to rest in the earth, receive my spirit in paradise. I want to be where You are, Jesus. I give You glory and praise. In Your holy Name, I pray this. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that every person who says they are in the faith would actually know what it means to be in the faith. Words are not always true, especially if people are not sincere or led by a false teacher. Speaking of false teachers, they are everywhere in Mormonism. These people are quick to do whatever their prophets tell them, but not so much what Your words in the Bible say. How is this Lord? In Mormonism, they proclaim to have Your Name in their church, but what I see is a false Christ, and nothing more than a name game being used to lure people in. I see the same thing when I look at the name tags of the LDS missionaries. It says they are Your representatives, Jesus, but I am able to see within them and know that they are a counterfeit to what is true. Your true witnesses wouldn’t teach that You, Father, have a body of flesh and bones, instead, they would believe what You said, Jesus, and that You are Spirit, Father. My trust is not in what man says, but will always compare and contrast what anybody says with what Your Word, the Bible, teaches. This is all that I ask for from the Mormon people. To not believe everything people say, but see if what is being taught is Biblically sound. If not, reject it. God, may this happen with many more people in this cult. Only You can lead them to the truth. Help them come to know You, that they may what is false. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, wake up the Mormon people to their idolatry. So many of them don’t realize it but a belief in exaltation is idolatrous. Truly, this sin comes from Satan, for He desired to exalt himself to Your throne, before being thrust down to earth like lightning. God, I do not wish for the same thing to happen to these idolaters, but it must happen because of justice. You have stated in Your Word, the Bible, that all idolators shall have their part in the lake of fire. I can just imagine what this looks like. For a person to first go to hell when they die, be judged, and then be thrown into a lake of fire, which is the second death. This must be terrifying and so painful to bear. I truly feel for these people. Not to say that most of them have been warned of the wrath to come and have denied their chance to be saved. As for those who never knew any different, thinking they were on the right path, I know that You will be able to sort it all out on judgment day. You are so good, God. I want more of You and less of me. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for the sake of the Mormon people. They are so lost while wandering through life blind. False prophets are among them and they are not even aware of it. I love talking to these people, for I only hope the best for them. Unfortunately, many of these people are so blinded that hearing anything I have to tell them can be impossible at times. It is like they are so confident in what they believe in that when different people present opposing teachings they are quick to debate what they have heard instead of receiving it. I do pray that thousands of these people will receive Your truth and be saved. It will take a lot for this to happen, for they have to give up a life of membership at their church, possible friendships, different callings, and possibly losing their spouse in a divorce. No wonder, God, that these people don’t wish to leave what is comfortable, but continue in it because it feels good. Lord, our feelings get us in trouble all the time. If I was to trust in my gut, then I would be living a life of sin and be far from You. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit leads us in all truth and it convicts me of my sins. Help Mormons also know what is false, so that they may cling to what is right. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people in the Mormon church will have an open heart to the truth. Not the truth that people proclaim but what You proclaim through the Holy Spirit. I have found the smoking gun in the Bible that proves the Book of Mormon false, although many people will disregard the message and never read it, lest their beliefs come into question. That is all I am asking for. For people to contemplate what they would do if the Book of Mormon was false. Would they turn to You in their sins and unbelief and ask for Your forgiveness, or turn to atheism, which isn’t any better? Thankfully, I had to make this decision in 2012, and I am so happy I chose You. I would not be where I am today if You, Lord, had not been by my side. You have been with me the entire time. I was in darkness for most of my life, but all this dissipated the moment my heart was turned to You, Jesus, in my confessions. Your mercy and forgiveness endure forever, even for a person as sinful as myself. Thank You for giving me another chance at life and life eternal in the next. I give You the glory and the praise. Your Word, the Bible, is the true scripture for mankind. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, thank You for Your love, mercy, kindness, patience, and forgiveness. Who am I to deserve Your favor after all I have done against You? It was known in the heavens that when I was younger, I fell hard because of the lusts of the flesh. The pleasures of this world meant more to me than anything else. I felt condemnation for my sin, but was able to justify them over time. But before my days were numbered, You awakened my soul to repentance. It was fear that gripped me from within, and now I wanted to know You, the only true God. My life was in disarray, but I knew that You had the power to heal it. My sins were heavy, but Your mercy was stronger. My tears came streaming down when You came and put Your arms around me. There was love that I had never felt before. No longer was I alone in trying to deal with my sins, for with Your presence in my life I am strong to resist temptation. While I was scared before to say “get behind me Satan”, I will say this now in Your authority. I love You, Jesus. Have Your way in my life. I believe in You, Lord. You are my God and I worship You today and forevermore. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will turn to You while in their sins. So many people live a life of sin and forget the importance of coming to You for salvation. Thankfully, You continue to pull at our heartstrings while steering people to You. Truly, You never give up on us, God. We’ve been so evil, while lifting up the things of this world above You. We have committed adultery in our lusts for the opposite and same sex. God, this generation is not much different than that of Sodom. Thankfully, we have a generation where the gospel is being preached in all corners of the earth. Revivals are being set in motion by way of the Holy Spirit. People have come from all around the nation to Asbury to experience what it means to be in Your presence. Thank You for showing Yourself in so many ways. I love how the Jesus movement started in the 60s and has continued till today. You have set a fire in our souls that cannot be contained. Have mercy upon me, for my sins. I am grateful for Your grace and forgiveness. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, help every person who is lost and without a shepherd. We were once a far off, not being part of Your fold, but Israel only. And therefore, we stood looking in, wondering when we could be partakers also. I can imagine that many Gentiles believed in You, God, but didn’t know that they would be welcome because of all the restrictions against them. This must have been difficult for people to bear. Thankfully, You came for us, Jesus. We were always Your lost sheep, but now You have come to usher us in. Thank You for trusting in us, those who would put their faith in You, Lord. And oh how the tides have turned. Israel has rejected You, Jesus, while the Gentiles have accepted You as their Lord, God, and King. And now we go to them to witness Your truths. Help us, Jesus, be Your light in the darkness. There are many people searching for truth, but we need the Holy Spirit to do the talking. I love You, Jesus. I believe in You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that the hearts of Mormons will be open to Your truth. I can say a lot but what I ask for them is to allow Your Spirit to influence them. Not simply to believe in what they have been taught by their prophets and church leaders, but to allow the Bible to be their authority on what is true and what is false. Recently I was in a debate and I was praying that Arthur would see the error in his ways, but all he could do was try to refute what Your Words in the Bible says. He could not understand that the stick of Joseph was one nation and the stick of Judah was another, and how they would come together as one nation in the times of King David. I read these verses verbatim but still, he refused to acknowledge what the Bible says. Help him, Lord. This man, along with other Mormons, are lost and need Your guidance and direction. I pray that one day more people in this cult will know what is true and resign for Your sake. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that more people would trust in the Bible above other books on earth. There are many false prophets that would are leading people to read their own books instead of the Bible on a daily basis. Lord, I have seen this in many cults, like Mormonism, that push their Book of Mormon instead of the Bible. For this reason, their church members and leaders now say that the Book of Mormon is the most correct book on earth, while saying we cannot trust everything in the Bible. However, I give You thanks for helping me understand the importance of scripture and not to believe in every form of doctrine that people may say is from You. I once errored not knowing what the Bible says, but now it is more clear each day that I read from the Bible what is true. Lord, these man-made teachings are even more evil than traditional teachings of the past. God, I rebuke every form of false teaching in cults that come from false teachers. The teaching of baptisms for the dead is man-made. Eternal marriage is a demonic teaching. Exaltation to Godhood is from Satan’s own mouth. Disbelieving in hell and the lake of fire is the reason why people end up in this place. Help them Lord. I trust in You, God. I love You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for Christians in this dark and dreary world we live in. Everywhere we look, if it is on TV, there are scantily clad women in commercials, on TV, and in movies. Sex scenes are now the norm in these shows, along with homosexuality being normalized and seeing same-sex couples kiss and more. Thankfully, You have taught me a lesson when it comes to TVs and I am limited to only a few hours a week on it. And if I do turn it on, I am seeking to watch something that would bring me closer to You, not the opposite. God, I truly wish people would pay attention to the music lyrics on the radio and music streaming services. If people say they love You, then they are also willing to cut out of their lives any kind of music that would drive away the Holy Spirit. Lord, my life has changed just by cutting out TV, movies, and music that doesn’t help me spiritually. I love to watch ministry videos now and listen to Christian music. Your presence is near and I want You in my life daily. I love You, Jesus. Be ever with me, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for the Mormon people. You have shown me and millions of others that they are in a cult, and believe in false prophets and man-made doctrines. Yet, so many of them resist what the Bible says. What they have been taught by their prophets and church leaders is gold to them, while what Christians share with them is worthless dirt. I cannot tell You how many times Mormon missionaries have tried to reach me with their message, but the moment I try to share with them what the Bible actually says, they reject it while closing off their ears immediately to what I have to tell them. And so I see the majority of Mormons as people who claim to be religious but do not know what it means to be saved and have the Holy Spirit in their lives. Surely, if they were saved, they would be led to all truth, but instead, they are trapped in an organization that only wants their hard-earned money, while leading them down a slippery slope to hell. Lord, I do not wish the same fate upon my Mormon friends and family that Joseph Smith and other Mormons have already dealt with come death. They are suffering in hell now, but there is still time for people on earth to resign from their cult and come to You for salvation, Jesus. I believe in You, Lord. I trust in You, God, for salvation, not religion. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will be careful reading any book that is a plagiarism of another book. You have taught me that if books do not quote from the original authors and give them ownership of the quote then we should stop reading the Book immediately. Thank you for Your wise counsel Lord. But now I ask every person who is part of the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-Day Saints to stop reading the Book of Mormon. It is crystal clear that Joseph Smith plagiarized the Bible with his own book. Looking at 2 Nephi, chapter 9, it is obvious what he was trying to do. It was clear that he knew of certain verses in the Bible and also agreed with these verses. Unfortunately, God, he didn’t give authorship to Jesus in Matthew and in Revelation. Instead, a fictional character named Jacob is said to have said these things. Lord, wake up the Mormon to repentance and to remove the Book of Mormon from their lives. I believe in You, Jesus. Help them know what I’ve said is true. This cult needs to be exposed, lest people die in their sins. I love You, Lord. I trust in You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will turn to You, and not people who could easily be a deceiver or conman. God, when I think of being born again, I see Your people listening to You and when going to church, they compare and contrast what they learned with Your Word, the Bible says. This is all I ask of people that say they believe in You, Jesus. Only then can You teach them and lead them into all truth. These people deserve to know what the Holy Spirit does for us and what it means to be born again. So I pray for people who say they are saved but are not. That they will have an open heart to You and Your servants on earth. God, I have tried talking to many Mormons over the years, and each time the majority laugh and scoff at what I am presenting to them. They see teachings like the trinity as foreign and corrupt, when Your true believers have kept this belief for the last two thousand years. How, You, Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, are three persons in one God. Lord, I have been in the midst of people that are so close to knowing You and being saved, but their hard hearts and false beliefs keep them from You. Help them, Lord. I love You! Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for the Mormon people. Most of them don’t realize they believe in a racist god, but the Boom of Mormon is evident that this is the case. I truly wish they could see this for themselves, but again, they don’t listen and see this as false accusations. I truly love these people as to help show them Your truth from the Bible. However, I have to wonder why these same people see what I am doing as Bible-bashing. Do they really think that knowing and teaching through Your word is Bible-bashing someone? It makes me wonder who taught them this, especially why they tell us that we have the spirit of contention. All I see here are people trying to make excuses instead of looking into what we are presenting to them. God, this last mission trip to Utah, in April 2023, was amazing, as I saw people like this in person. It is one thing for Mormons to call me an Anti-Mormon and false prophet, but another for them to say this instead of checking out what I have to share with them first. God, my heart’s desire is to lead these lost people to You for salvation. I know that a lot of them are seeking the truth, so help them, Lord. I believe in You, Jesus. I love You, Lord. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray for every person who is stuck in a cult that does not save, like in Mormonism. These people believe that when they die they will be in paradise awaiting their exaltation to godhood. Because they were sealed to their family on earth, they expect to be with each of the in the next, while populating their own planet. God, I have to wonder why these individuals are all in on these beliefs, while not listening to Christians who only want to help them. I cannot tell you the number of times I have tried to reach Mormons for Your sake, but at the same time being shut down. God, why are their hearts so closed off to what is true? I am talking about what Your Words in the Bible say. These people would rather believe in what their current so-called prophets teach than see any flaws in it by comparing and contrasting their teachings with scripture. That is all I ask of them. Our life is short, but eternity in heaven or the lake of fire is eternal. I don’t wish for anyone to suffer, but these people are digging their own graves by not listening to You or Your people. Help them, Lord. I love You, Jesus. I trust in You. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that people will not lose faith in You. You are alive, Jesus, and I don’t need for You to appear to me in person to believe this fact. The Holy Spirit declares that You are alive, and this witness from above keeps my faith alive. I will also do what I can to keep your faithful saying going strong. Which says, “blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” I needed to read this today, as I am sure millions of others would benefit from hearing this too. God, may Your will be done in my life as it is in heaven. If people I know are doubting You in any way, may I know exactly what to say to them? Thank You for bringing two people onto my path this weekend. One person, who once went to church with me and is now an atheist, while another person believes that You are a real person, but did not rise from the grave. I could have been at the gym an hour earlier on Saturday, but it was more important to help my dear friend, who is an atheist, come to know You once again. The same happened today with my neighbor. Help them both come to true faith in You, Jesus. I love You. Amen.
Thank You Jesus for coming into the world in order to save us from our sins. Our lives are covered in sin and would stay this way if You had not paid the penalty for our sins while on the cross. Thank You, Lord, for paying off our debts in full, although we don’t deserve it. It is wonderful to remember Your death, burial, and resurrection. This is the gospel message, which I am grateful to share with as many people as would have ears to ear. It is my prayer that people will turn from their sins and to You, no matter the life they are living now. Help them understand that no matter how big our sins are, nothing is too big for Your mercy to cover us and make us whole. I am grateful that You shed Your blood for us, ending the need for more sacrificial offerings. Truly, only the lamb of God could do this. You are the Lamb that has the power to open scrolls upon Your return also. I long for that day. The day I will see You, Jesus, in all Your glory, coming in the clouds. Take me away to live for You, Lord. Raise me up on the day to life eternal. I love You, Jesus. I give You my life and my everything. Amen.
Oh Lord, thank You for suffering and dying for my sins on the cross. You took it upon Yourself to pay the debt that I was incapable of paying on my own. This You did as a willing lamb going to the slaughter. Thank You, Jesus. How can I repay You? This gift is the greatest of all. To know that Your blood has covered me and that I am made clean is the best feeling ever. If You had not done this then I would be left broken in my shame. Thankfully, You didn’t give up on me but came to my rescue. I had many restless nights just thinking about everything I had done and how evil it was in Your sight. I felt forsaken and lost in these dark hours. I was wretched not knowing where to go, but then You came and heard my cries. I called upon Your name, Jesus, in all my confessions, knowing that I was incapable of changing on my own. You were the only person who could turn a sinner like me to live for You. And You did take my hand. I was brought out of the darkness and into Your light. There is rest now, for You are with me. I love You, Jesus. You are my Savior and my God. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that many people in the Mormon cult will resign once and for all. Most of what they teach is straight-up heresy, but only a few of them will ever know this to be true. God, I fear that because Satan has them under his spell, that it is harder than ever to reach Mormons for Your sake. Will I continue to witness to them? Of course. Lord, I am looking for the one in the ninety and nine, of whom is sincere in their desires to know and believe in You, Jesus. I am speaking of the real Jesus of the Bible, not a fake Christ in Mormonism. God, I rebuke these workers of iniquity. Missionaries in their so-called church are not doing any good, but harm when it comes to destroying the true beliefs in Christianity. The blood of these people, whom they deceive, is upon their heads. Thank You for revealing this truth to me. They do not realize that their temple works are all in vain. How it is a works salvation that they are doing for themselves and for the dead, which are filthy rags. God, help them. Stir them up to repentance, that they may forsake what is false and cling to what is true. I believe in You, Lord. You can do all things, even to lead people out of bondage and to salvation. I love You, Jesus. Amen.
Oh Lord, I pray that we all will learn to walk out our faith. To not just go to church on the weekends, but learn to serve You and others day in and day out. There is so much more we could be doing in Your kingdom, if people were so willing as to lay down their lives to serve You. Lord, I am so grateful to know You, and to be Your witness is a great joy. I am loved beyond measure, for Your mercy endures forever. Thank You for giving me a chance to be saved. Your death on the cross has given me new life. Your blood has covered me and has made me whole. If am cleansed, it has come from above. Therefore, I will walk on Your holy path that leads to heaven. It is straight and narrow and I am grateful to go through Your gate. I love You, Jesus. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Have Your way in my life. Your peace surrounds me and I am loved. Amen.
Oh, Lord, I am grateful for this mission trip. There were countless people that You put on our paths. Many individuals heard Your truth with an open heart, and also acknowledged that they could be wrong. This trip was a cold one, but that did not deter Patrick, Adam, and I, from witnessing to Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and people of all faiths. As much as it was fun raising up our sign during the LDS General Conference, it was also a blast interviewing people at the University of Utah, and knocking on doors. I love these people, so as to share Your truths with them. Who am I to think I know everything? Therefore, I put my whole trust in You, God, and what the Bible teaches. We would have never known the words to speak to people if You did not fill our minds with wisdom. Even in the hour and minute that we talked with people, we were able to quote verses from the Bible from memory, which You put on our hearts. I would also not have known who to talk to, unless You put them on our paths. Thank You, Jesus. I love You, God. Your works were on display. Amen.
