A Powerful Morning Prayer | God's Favour, Grace and Protection | Start Your Day Blessed

one of the most touching Psalms can be found in Psalm chap 63 the Bible reads oh God you are my God early will I Seek You My Soul thirsts For You My Flesh Longs for you in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water so I have looked for you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory because your loving kindness is better than life my lips shall praise you thus I will bless you while I live I will lift up my hands in your name my soul shall be satisfied as

with marrow and fatness and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips when I remember you on my bed I meditate on you in the night watches because you have been my help therefore in the shadow of your wings I Will Rejoice my soul follows close behind you your right hand upholds me have you ever been in a room full of people but felt as though you don't belong have you ever gone to a place an event or a concert even but felt as though you don't belong there have you ever bumped into an old

friend you get to talking and in the middle of the conversation you realize no no something is off here I'm no longer comfortable around you when Jesus Christ enters your heart you are born again you will begin to recognize a few things old appetites are gone you begin to question your old habits you analyze and become aware of your sinful thought patterns when Jesus Christ enters your heart and you truly receive him you will find that the old rooms you used to enter so freely will become challenging to step into because your heart has changed

the places you used to visit those bars those adult entertainment places all of them will make your spirit feel uneasy and you certainly won't be comfortable in that environment anymore and this is all because Jesus Christ has entered your heart you see when the Lord begins a work he will always deal with you first he will always start with the inner part of you first and that in turn will result in a change of attitude a change of habits a change of behavior Romans 12:2 do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by

the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God what is good and acceptable and perfect Saints do not conform to this world that's a clear word of instruction don't comply with this world don't become acclimated to this world Saints we are in this world but we should not become adjusted nor should we be adjusted to this world and so you may ask what exactly should we not be accustomed to in this world well let me tell you that the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4 in their case

the God of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God I want to focus on the first first few words of this verse the God of this world has blinded the minds Saints this world is lost and the Bible clearly says the God of this world the devil Satan has a hold on the minds of people who aren't in Christ This Is Why We ought not to be conformed to the patterns to the values

and customs of this world have you noted the blasphemy the lack of reverence for Godly principles that this world has we need to be a people who are focused on Christ a people who are governed by the word of God a people who are regulated and directed by the holy spirit so that we can truly seek first the kingdom of God don't be afraid to stand out if it means Jesus Christ gets all the glory don't be afraid to be rejected by this world if it means you are accepted by Jesus let's pray that the

Lord would give us a spirit that is alert to the dark influences of this world pray for a spirit that is drawn to Godly values and the pursuit of righteousness Lord Jesus I pray that we would not be accustomed or conformed to this world open our eyes so that we can see this world for what it truly is a place that is temporary a place that encourages physical pleasure over spiritual things like fasting and praying it's a world that Fosters the love of money power and the spirit of Pride I come against these things in

my life I rebuke these shallow and temporary desires of money worldly success and pride over my life father don't allow us to be tolerant of the evil that's in this world give us the courage and boldness to stand up to this world and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord we don't care what the values Customs or agendas that are being pushed on us by by this world are we care only about living a life that you approve Lord Jesus a life that is filled with faith so that it may be pleasing to you we care

about living a life that glorifies you a life that points to you as the savior of the world a life that points to your goodness your grace and mercy transform us change us realign our Focus so that we will not be distracted or derailed by anything in this world instead let our Obsession be to carry out your will let our true passion be to do that which is good and acceptable and perfect in your sight Philippians chapter 3 verse 20 to 21 says for our citizenship is in heaven from which we also eagerly wait for

the Savior the Lord Jesus Christ who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to his glorious body according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself thank you Lord for this blessed and reassuring word that my citizenship is in heaven with you I belong with you Lord and Heaven is my home and so I do not wish to be a friend of the world and make myself an enemy of the one true God but rather I would rather be rejected by the world and accepted by

you Lord Jesus I would rather stand and be persecuted by this word world if it means that I can call you friend Lord Jesus I would rather be poor in terms of worldly possession if that means I have riches stored up for me in heaven all in all Lord teach me not to love the things of this world teach me to have the love of God but not to be in love with the world you are worthy of all honor and praise may your Holy Name be lifted High each and every day in my life

thank you for listening to this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray amen and amen oh God you are my God God early will I Seek You My Soul thirsts For You My Flesh Longs for you in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water so I have looked for you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory because your loving kindness is better than life my lips shall praise you you thus I will bless you while I live I will lift up my hands in your name my

soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips when I remember you on my bed I meditate on you in the night watches because you have been my help therefore in the shadow of your wings I Will Rejoice my soul follows close behind you your right hand upholds me do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God what is good and acceptable and perfect in their case the God

of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God for our citizenship is in heaven from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior the Lord Jesus Christ who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to his glorious body according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself [Music]
