A "Plea to Strengthen Me & Increase My Faith" Prayer (11.24.15)

Heavenly Father,       
Your Word says that without faith it’s impossible to please You,
and Lord my sincerest desire is to please You,
to hear You tell me at the end of my time,
“Well done, My good and faithful servant.”

I know that unless I am living by faith,
it is impossible to please You.

I come before You this day with this request: Oh Lord, increase my faith!

Instill within me confidence to know that You are able, and willing, to intervene in my life every day. Strengthen me, so I can continue, fervently in prayer, while renewing my faith - making it stronger and stronger each day.

Let us Pray:

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD.
Holy Spirit please speak to my heart the faith creating Words of GOD.
Open my eyes to comprehend the depths of Your Word, Father God
and open my ears to recognize Your Voice as you speak to my soul.
I want my trust in You to be unshakable,
so I can quench the fiery darts of the wicked one.

Thank You Lord that when my mind is kept on You,
and I place my trust in You, You promise
to keep me in perfect peace.

LORD GOD, You are in control of my life,
and I surrender all that I am to You.
O Lord increase my faith!

In Jesus Name I pray,

Amen

A Focused, Prayerful, "Prayer-filled" Prayer (11.23.15)

Father, Jehovah,
You are a GOD of order and purpose.
You desire Your people to seek to do Your will
and fulfill Your kingdom plans, but yet many times
we are focused on our own needs and concerns.

Father help us to be about doing Your business.
While we seek to do Your will, keep and protect us
from the evil one, by the power of Your Son's Name, Jesus Christ.

May we, Your children, be united together with one mind
and one heart, so that You alone receive glory!

Father, I also ask in the matchless name of Jesus that
You make me aware of the plans and schemes of the enemy,
so that I may recognize his work and rebuke him.

Father, Your Word is quick, powerful and
sharper than a two edged sword.

I know You have power over all things, but please help me
to pray for those who rejoice in doing the work of the enemy.
Give me the courage to tell them that You love them, and so do I.

I will pray they will repent of their sins.
Lord, Your Word says that You wish that
no one will perish, so help me Father
to pray for my enemies always.

I pray this day Father that You will
send someone this day into my path
that I can share the Word of GOD with.

This prayer I pray to You this morning
Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Amen 

A Recommitment Prayer (11.21.15)

Father GOD,
Thank you for waking me up this morning to see another day.

GOD you are the beginning and end of all things,
the Alpha and the Omega.

Father, I thank You for loving me - regardless of my faults.
Father you have kept me in Your Mind since the beginning of the world,
and will continue to hold me close to You when this world passes away.

I confess the times when I have allowed my needs
to become the beginning and end of my existence.

Starting today Lord, I will commit myself to giving You
the highest place in my life and in my heart.

Father GOD, reveal your glory to me, so that
I cannot help but praise You with my whole heart.

Strengthen me, so that I will always be about Your Agenda and not mine.
Help me, to share the Word of GOD with others; so that those
who choose to follow You, will know that regardless
of what they are going through, You hold All Power in your Hands
to change their situation - if they will only Believe.

I thank You Father that I believe.

Help me Father to love those who are choosing
to do the work of the enemy, thinking that
their wicked deeds are unknown and unseen to You.

You are forever present.  An all seeing and all knowing GOD!
Father, Your Word said that no deed will be overlooked - good or bad.
You said that You will repay all deeds, whether good or bad.

Remind me, through the Holy Spirit, to share
the Word of GOD with someone today.

I thank you Lord for everything that You
have done in my life and in the lives of my loved ones.

Thank You Lord.  Thank You!

Amen

Take Every Thought Captive to the Blessings You Have, Dwell Not on Your "Failures" (11.20.15)

My Child,
Why are you focusing on your failures?
Why are you trying to find a reason to give up,
just short of receiving your blessings?

Do not allow your mind to dwell too long on the mistakes made.  Yes, it is okay to recognize failure and learn from it; but it must be done quickly, or you will continue to relive the experience over and over.   Recognize what went wrong, repent, and then cast down any thought that is not of Me.

Take every thought captive to the blessings that you have.

If you don’t, you will become what you focus on the most.
You are not a failure, so why continue to think about the mistakes?
You are more than a conqueror; therefore, think about the blessings.
Think about the victories we have won.

I do not condemn you Child, so stop condemning yourself.
Let your mind be on heavenly things.
Think back on past blessings, and the joy they brought you.

Let your focus be on who you are in Christ Jesus.
Focus on Me and the times that I've brought victory,
in the midst of what you thought was an impossible situation. 

Yes, think about that, and how you testified to My goodness and mercy. 
Think about those things. 

My Child, count your blessings, not your failures.
You are not a failure; therefore, focus on your blessings,
no matter how small..... 

And watch what happens.


Meditate on His Word:
2 Corinthians 10:5 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Philippians 3:13-14 - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus

Sitting at the Crossroads, Weary... But God Says Now it is the Time to Arise to the Challenge, Go Forth, Press Forward & Walk Into Your Destiny. (11.19.15)

Psalm 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am GOD: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

My Beloved, My Faithful Ones,
... I see your heart, I see your pain, I see your questioning and I also see those of you who are presently sitting at the crossroads weary from the years of waiting....  Waiting to see the fulfillment of My Promises for your life.

Many years ago you said to Me,  “Here I am Lord, send me.” You vowed that whatever came your way, you would remain steadfast and loyal on the path set before you. However, at this time, I see many of you sitting at the crossroads; forcing yourselves just to exist, feeling nothing but spiritual and emotional burnout.

Separating yourself because you have felt betrayed, persecuted, and abandoned.  The hurt being too much and you have 'shut down'. It has become more 'natural' for you to simply adjust to your surroundings and your circumstances - than to keep standing. Now you are sitting at the crossroads because it became easier to shut yourself off - easier to walk by sight, not by faith. Even though you think I have been silent, I say to you - BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!  I hear you murmur when you say “But FATHER, don't you see what has been happening with me? Don't You see all I’ve been going through? Haven't You seen my faithfulness in these adversities? I have stood all these years longing and waiting for Your promises; and I have lifted up the weary brethren, even though they did not lift me up in return. Father, I can go no further for I have nothing left to give...”

My Beloved Child, yes I see ALL that you have gone through but was it not your desire to give Me your heart -- to be replaced by My Heart? Did you not give Me your dedication? In all this, did I even once say that your journey would be easy?

Beloved, in your heart of hearts you KNOW that all I have
promised you SHALL come to pass -
and that I have chosen you for such a time as this....
I say it is time to arise and go forth.

My Child, you shall see your hurting heart, spirit, body and emotions healed
... and ...you shall see the restitution and restoration of all things.

My Child, it is time to arise!

It is time for you to leave the valley, and arise to the challenge
-- for this is NOT the time for pulling back,
but the time for advancing.

I Am ready to move, MY Child,
will you press forward for the prize set before you?

I chose you, My Beloved, so arise and be ready to see ME move in your life
and in all the lives of My Faithful Ones, for I Am able
to keep that which has been committed to Me.

Arise, My Beloved, arise from this crossroads, stronger in Me
and walk into your destiny.

Acts 16:25-26 - Praise in the Midnight Hour (11.18.15)

My Child,
You feel you are at your midnight hour, as the enemy of your soul says all is lost. However, I say sing praises to Me in this midnight hour. It’s easy for you to sing praises when there’s light, but I Am seeking those who still have a praise on their lips in their midnight hour. 

Praise in the midnight hour shall loose the shackles off your feet.

My Child, the midnight hour is set as your hour of deliverance.
Not all of My Children will be ready, so I say unto you - start singing praises. 

It is time for your breakthrough. 
It is time to triumph over all the enemy has tried to do, to hold you back. 
It is not by accident that I have chosen this time to release you
from all of your hurt and pain.

Lift up your eyes, My child.
Lift up your eyes.
A mighty work has been accomplished,
your new day is dawning, and your call made ready.

Lift up your voice and sing.
It’s a new day.  And a new hour.

You will look up to the heaven and say, “I cannot believe what the Lord has done.”

And I did it because you sang to Me in the midnight hour.


Meditate on God's Word
Psalm 119:62 - At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments. 

Acts 16:25-26  - And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto GOD: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing. (11.17.15)

My Child, 
I know you acknowledge and receive the spiritual gifts and blessings that I’ve poured into your life. However, there is one blessing that I gave you that you are allowing to lie dormant, and it is prayer.  You asked Me to pour into your life My Spirit of Prayer, so you could pray as I prayed. So, why aren’t you using this blessing?

My child, I Am calling you to a new level in your prayers.
I Am calling you to persevere in prayer.
I Am calling you to stay before Me until every stronghold
in your life is destroyed, and the enemy is sent fleeing. 

Use this blessed gift, and use it now.

A stronger prayer life is needed now more than ever before;
for the enemy is seeking whom he can devour. 

Therefore, do not wait until it’s midnight in your life before you call on My Name. Yes, I understand you feel more prayer is needed when you are in a corner, surrounded by impossibilities. However, don’t allow your feelings to lead you astray, for it’s not flesh and blood that seeks to destroy you, it’s spiritual wickedness.

So, you must pray now, and pray in the Spirit.

One of the keys to receiving your miracles is to live a life in constant prayer. If you want to see things change; then pray, study My Word, and continually stay before Me. Stay true to the blessings that I have given you. Live your life as I lived Mine, in constant prayer, and you will see that which you seek shall come to pass.

Therefore, pray and pray without ceasing;
for with Me, all things are possible.
Nothing is impossible with Me.

Pray My child, pray.


Meditate on His Words:
Psalm 55:17 - Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. 

Luke 6:12 - And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to GOD.

Luke 18:1 - And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 - Pray without ceasing.

 

God Is Watching Over You, in His Arms You will find Rest (11.16.15)

Faith Believers - The Lord GOD wants you to know that He loves you. He cares about you, and He is watching over you. He knows all about your troubles, and that in spite of your hardships, you have chosen to stay the course. The Lord says, now is the time for your reward.  - Marilyn Chaney
_________

My Child,
I watch over you.
I walk with you.  
Even when you do not realize that I Am there. I Am watching over you through your many questions, even when you think I do not care. I have spoken in My Word that I would never leave you nor forsake you. My Beloved, this I have promised you, and it is the Truth. 

I Am asking you, today, to come to Me; 
for in My Arms you will find rest.

I Am watching over you, and I shall give you rest in the midst of what you are going through. When you find yourself weary and without strength, bring your burden to Me, and I shall lift it from you.  I will restore, strengthen, and heal you.  

Rest assured, I Am watching over you.   
You will have victory over all that is bothering you.


Meditate on God's Word:
Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 

1 Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

 

Choose to Walk on a New Road, God's Path of Heavenly Blessings & Divine Opportunities (11.14.15)

My Child,

I Am doing a new thing in your life,
and it will lead you in a new direction.

A new path will open up for you.
This will be a path of heavenly blessings and
there will be divine opportunities for you. 

 

Follow Me, as I show you exactly each step to take on this new journey. Trust Me on this journey. It is My desire for you to close the door on the road that you are on now. You cannot travel on two roads at the same time. However, know that I will bless whatever road you choose; but remember, I did promise that I Am doing something new for you.

If you choose to walk on the new road,
I will increase your blessing by leading you
into a fresh, new and anointed promise.

Fear not, My Child, for I have gone before you in this new way. I know the end from the beginning, and the crooked places have been made straight. Simply trust Me and take My Hand.  

 

I will lead you safely to your journey's end.

I Am doing a new thing in your life.
 

 

Meditate on God's Word

Isaiah 43:18-19 - Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Relinquish Your Difficulties into God's Control (11.13.15)

My Child,
I know you have been feeling stuck where you are,
and at times you struggle with being overwhelmed. 

You occasionally have moments when you believe your world is crumbling down upon you. You feel that way because of your striving. Cease striving and surrender all to Me. Don’t be afraid to release all to Me. Take several deep breaths and relinquish your difficulties into My Control. 

How can you get to where I need you to be 
if you are afraid to surrender and trust in Me?

Don’t allow your frustrations to cause you to turn away from Me and lead you to seek another solution. Don’t you know by now I AM the only solution? Even if you drift away, I will always be here, waiting for your return. 

I will never stop watching over you. 
Not even your mistakes can keep Me away from you. 

My Eyes and My Heart are always towards you, 
and My Mercy is made new for you each day.

My child, it’s crucial that you learn to trust Me,  
because I want to take you to places you have never been. 

And in these new places, you won’t be able to rely on your knowledge and experiences from the past, because I Am doing a new thing in your life. 

You will have to allow the Holy Spirit to teach you; 
therefore, absolute surrender is required. 

Just as I led the children of Israel, I will lead you to where you need to be. 
Now, surrender the reign's you've held so tightly
and watch Me smooth the pathways along your journey.

Psalm 37:5 - Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
