The Best Night Prayers To Fall Asleep In Blessed | Listen & Pray Before You Sleep

the Bible says something interesting in 1st Samuel 26:23 it says the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness the Lord delivered you into my hands today but I would not lay a hand on the Lord's anointed read that carefully the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and their faithfulness that's a powerful verse and it makes me think how do I stand before the Lord does he look at me and see a faithful heart does he look at me and see a committed Christian when God looks down from heaven does he see me as a

Believer who is striving to live in righteousness now the topic of righteousness is one that I find intriguing we're called to righteousness however we as people are far from righteous so what is it that we need to do if the Lord rewards every man for his righteousness but yet we're born in sin how will we be rewarded well to begin with Saints I believe that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior Galatians 2:20 can be said of Our Lives because the Bible says my old self has been crucified with Christ it is

no longer I who who live but Christ lives in me so I live in this Earthly Body by trusting in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me a human being is Born Into sin this is clear because Psalm 51:5 explicitly States behold I was brought forth in iniquity and in sended my mother conceive me so I may be born in sin but when I repent and give my life to to Jesus Christ I can then say what Galatians 2:20 says my old self has been crucified with Christ it is no

longer I who live but Christ lives in me so I live in this Earthly Body by trusting in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me so Christ now lives in me therefore when it comes to us chasing right ousness it comes down to how much of ourselves have we yielded to Christ do we love the Lord Our God with all our heart soul and mind or do we place him behind Earthly Pleasures material things sinful things that we can't let go of Deuteronomy 6: 24-25 says and the Lord commanded us

to observe all these statutes to fear the lord Our God for our good always ways that he might preserve Us Alive as it is this day then it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all the Commandments before the Lord Our God as he has commanded us Saints it will be righteousness for us if we follow all his statutes his Commandments and to fear Him 1st Samuel 26:23 says the Lord Rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness now let us pray dear Lord Jesus you alone Are Holy you alone are righteous

father if we try to live a life that is pleasing to you through our own strength then we will fail we need your grace Lord we need your mercy but as the Bible says I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me as you live within me Lord you can displace all evil from within me remove everything that is ungodly remove everything that is corrupt remove everything that is unclean Lord purify and cleanse us master your word in Romans 6 verse 17-8 but thanks be to

God that though you used to be slaves to sin you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed Your Allegiance you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness help us to conform to your will father take the lead in our lives may your Commandments out we our own selfish Ambitions we desire to walk in a manner that's pleasing and acceptable in your sight we desire to be slaves to righteousness we desire to walk in a manner that is pure a manner that's Christlike enable

us to walk in the way of righteousness that leads to life not to death you are a God who takes pleasure in those who pursue righteousness may you find us to be such a people Lord go before us order our steps God so that I may not walk in unrighteousness your word in Psalm 1: 1-2 it says blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of Sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his Delight is in the law of the Lord and in

his law he may meditates day and night guide us King Jesus so that we would not be found walking in the counil of those who are sinful and wicked give us hearts that Delight in your word it's in you Jesus that we seek strength it's in you Lord that we can overcome sin you're a God who never disappoints the one who gives me peace of mind Direction and true leadership so King Jesus we bow down to you we bow down to your Authority Psalm 23:3 says he restores my soul he leads me in the paths

of righteousness for his name's sake we have faith in you Lord because unlike the people on this Earth unlike the ways of this Earth You will never lead us astray you will never lead us to destruction it's only you King Jesus that can lead us through the valley of the shadow of death and still offer us peace it's you who can lead us through the darkest valleys and still offer us joy May the fear of the Lord rest upon us as we pursue righteousness in this life the Bible says in proverbs 9: 10 the fear

of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the the knowledge of the Holy One is Insight may you give us wisdom in our lives Lord give us a hunger to pursue righteousness our dear Lord and Master be praised and be glorified thank you for hearing our prayer it's in Jesus name that we pray amen one thing that you should know about the Lord is that when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of a Believer one of the biggest signs that God is with you

is that you will come to know a pieace that is beyond all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark 4 from verse 35 to 41 when Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few points I'd like to highlight the disciples were in a boat and they encountered a storm now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into a panicked state where we encounter a storm but when the disciples

woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called on Jesus and he spoke to the storm they realized who he is the disciples realized that they were on that boat with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the clearest and most significant signs in our lives that God is with us is peace

regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have the prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehension now the second clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of his hand over your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus 13: 21 the Bible says and the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of

cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and By Night God's hand was leading the children of Israel and you see God is a way maker he used a pillar of cloud to guide the Israelites during the day and a pillar of Fire by night and in our own lives God's hand can be seen in the little things the accident that could have taken your life but you came out unscathed God's hand can be seen in the Seasons where

you had little but he provided it can be seen in those situations where you should have been broken you should have had a meltdown but somehow you found strength somehow you found joy that's the hand of God now let us pray my heavenly father we thank you for your goodness we thank you you for loving us sustaining us giving us life and above all thank you for caring so much that you gave your only begotten son so that we may not perish but have eternal life because of you King Jesus we can say that we

are redeemed we are loved and we are set free by the blood of Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you have good plans for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to approach the throne of grace boldly and that if I ask

anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4:1 answer me when I call to you my my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call out your name you offer us relief from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or insecurities you offer us love and acceptance when the world would

choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all glory all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there's no limit to your abilities there's nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consult to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one who can Enlighten you because you are the God of Light there is nothing

that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your ways are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts thoughts it's because you are a god of great power might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40:22 says it is he who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to

dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awesome nature your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you are our unfailing protector who gives us an eternal home you are a God who watches over us and our families and I praise you for you have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross for me to set me free from my sins I pray that my relationship

with you will continue to be strengthened day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray Amen in the Bible how many times have the prophets of old or biblical writers been inspired by the Holy Spirit and uttered the words thus says the Lord well I for one truly believe that God still speaks even today the Lord speaks to people in many different ways he speaks through the Holy Spirit he speaks through his word and maybe you've experienced those

occasions where you open the Bible and one verse leaps off the page and ministers to you but from a Biblical standpoint God is Not confined to a single manner of communicating with his people in Job 38 verse1 the Lord answered job out of a whirlwind in Exodus 19:18 God announced his presence to Moses in an extraordinary way the Bible says Mount Si was covered with smoke because the Lord descended on it in fire the smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace and and the whole Mountain trembled violently in First Kings 19:12 Elijah

encounters the Lord and the Bible says and after the earthquake a fire but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire a still Small Voice now the point of God speaking in the still Small Voice here I believe was to show Elijah that the work of the Lord need not always be accompanied by some dramatic Revelation or huge manifestation but God can speak in a gentle and peaceful but assured manner another way that God speaks is by making an impression on our spirit here are two verses where we can see this happening

acts 17:16 now while Paul waited for them at Athens his Spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols and also in acts 18:5 when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia Paul was compelled by the spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ on both occasions God or the Holy Spirit made an impression on Paul that provoked compelled and called him to action and to put this into context we need to understand Romans 8:1 16 which says the spirit himself Bears witness with our spirit

that we are children of God this gives you a small glimpse into some of the ways in which God speaks and remember that the Lord is not l Limited in how he speaks so to summarize I believe that God most clearly and most commonly speaks to us in this day and age through his word the more we learn it the more we'll be able to recognize his voice when he does speak and with that understanding the holy spirit is vital for any of us to hear from the Lord clearly and to discern the voice of

God so I encourage you to make it your prayer request that you may hear the voice of the Lord more clearly from this day forward dear Lord together with everyone listening we are here believing we are here waiting patiently waiting expectantly to hear your voice speak to us Lord Jesus speak to our hearts Lord speak through your word and give us Direction give us encouragement give us Clarity and remove every cloud of confusion from our lives Lord speak to us collectively as Believers but I also ask you to speak to us individually Lord God Almighty

father give us a word for our families your word is in John 10: 27-28 it says my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give them eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand we desire to hear your voice Lord Jesus because in your voice There Is lifegiving Power in your voice Lord I find peace I find joy and so I pray that you would open our ears Master let us be a people who are quick to hear the word of

God help us to be quick to hear the voice of Jesus Christ a voice that calls us to repent and to pick up our cross I pray King Jesus that I may be someone who is quick to seek and and search for your voice when I need guidance and Direction Luke 12:12 says for the holy spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say so I pray that the Holy Spirit may be the voice that is loudest in our lives I ask that the Holy Spirit would be the voice that convicts

us to repentance a voice that pushes us to the word of God a voice that reminds us of just how much we need Jesus Christ in our daily lives speak to us in our hearts God speak to us concerning your will concerning your plan for our lives God I ask that you drown out the voice of the enemy drown out the voice that comes only to kill steal and destroy God drown out the voice voice of the father of lies and instead Lord May the Holy Spirit be the voice that counsels us the voice that

teaches us the voice that convicts us to repentance may he be the voice that guides us you say in your word Lord that your sheep hear your voice and you know them and they follow you indeed indeed we are your sheep Lord Jesus and we're following you the Good Shepherd so Lord we will listen and obey your voice because you'll make us lie down in Green Pastures Only You King Jesus can lead us beside Still Waters your voice Master restores our souls it leads us in the paths of righteousness your word says in Matthew 7:4

everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock father God give us the grace to not just be hearers of the word but doers also help us to put aside all of our selfish cares all our selfish ambitions so that we can put your word into practice Holy Spirit change our hearts challenge us to put into practice the word of God in our day-to-day lives King Jesus we bless your name may you rule and Reign over our lives forever thank you

for hearing this prayer Lord God in Jesus name we pray amen amen when you are in Jesus Christ you are alive when you are in Jesus Christ you are truly living and breathing however when you are in sin you are separated from God and although your physical body may be alive your spiritual being is dead this is why Paul wrote in Philippians 1: 211 saying for to me to live is Christ Christ and to die is gain now a lot of Believers don't understand this a lot don't know that if you are in sin you

are spiritually dead but let me tell you this the devil and his demons do not care whether you know how they work the forces of Darkness don't care whether you know their action plan and devices they only care about which road you're on which direction you're heading in they only care about what you do in those private moments because that's what counts you see there are forces of Darkness at work in this world as the Apostle Paul reminds us for our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against

the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly Realms and you need to pray for understanding because the kingdom of darkness is exactly what it says it is a kingdom filled with Darkness first John 4:1 beloved do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits whether they are of God because many false prophets have gone out into the world this is discernment with the guidance of the Holy Spirit you can tell who is really speaking from God's word and who is speaking from a place of Doctrine mixed with

deception and I believe saints that we need the Holy Spirit to speak and tug at our hearts my prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open my eyes to every hidden stronghold in my life and within my family may he shine a light on every corner that the enemy is hiding with the aim to take me down Saints God gives us the ability through the Holy Spirit to discern between various spirits and forces in the world at the heart of spiritual discernment is spiritual warfare because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood God's word

says but God being rich in Mercy because of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead in our trespasses made us alive together with Christ by Grace you have been saved and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus when you are alive in Christ you see Jesus Christ for who he really is you see him as the light of the world you see him as truth when you're alive in Christ you see that the devil may form weapons but they will

not Prosper the devil might make plans against you he may scheme against you but none of his plans none of his schemes will prosper when you are alive in Christ it doesn't matter what the kingdom of darkness does because in Jesus we have the victory already let us pray father I pray that we as your children would be sensitive to the Unseen battle before us let us not be complacent let us not procrastinate let us not fall asleep in this war but instead fight in prayer may we fight with divine power that comes only from

you I bless your name and I am grateful that you are a God who hears the prayers of your children may you increase my knowledge of your ways and your will from my life may you increase my wisdom and understanding teach me how to walk with the eyes of faith and discernment open our eyes of discernment and expose the traps set by the devil wherever he may be hiding pour out your spirit over our lives Lord and teach us how to apply your word in everyday life I pray that you would open my eyes to

see your power to see the truth that is in your word your word in Hosea 4:6 says that my people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge I pray that I would not be in this category Lord I pray that all the schemes of the devil will be exposed by Divine Revelations from you remove the scales from my eyes so that I may become wise to the tricks and the deception of this world Lord help me to never conform to the Wicked Ways of this world their way of living it leads to death and destruction

but your way leads to everlasting life I may have to endure ridicule and mockery in this life or put myself in an uncomfortable position but I know that my reward in heaven will be so much greater father help me to be on guard against worldly traps don't let me fall into habits that Grieve Your Holy Spirit don't let me start acting in ways that harm my witness for Christ so often Satan disguises sin as something good and desirable Lord help me not to only recognize these works of darkness but also to expose them and warn

those around me so that they won't be caught unaware give me the courage and strength to stand up against evil whenever I see it build within me a character that is fully equipped and emboldened to stand for the gospel for the gospel is the only thing with the power to transform lives and hearts in this dark and sinful world Lord let that transformation begin in my own mind change my desires so that I no longer think or act like the world but instead imitate the example of Christ in all of my conduct instead of bitterness

fill me with love instead of jealousy fill me with gratitude break me of every habit and attitude that resembles the world and teach me to obey you instead may your Holy Spirit feel me and help me to discern your perfect will for my life Lord Jesus I pray that you would give me the gift of discernment so that I can be sober Vigilant and watchful May the Holy Spirit open my ears and open my eyes that I may see the tricks and traps of the enemy your word says in 2 Corinthians 10 verse 3-5 for

though we live in the world we do not wage war as the world does the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world on the contrary they have divine power to demolish strongholds we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ give me a heart that is sensitive to your voice I pray that you would give me ears to hear you always I bless your name for hearing this prayer be glorified and magnified in my

life in Jesus name I pray amen the Bible says something interesting in 1st Samuel 26:23 it says the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faith faithfulness the Lord delivered you into my hands today but I would not lay a hand on the Lord's anointed read that carefully the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and their faithfulness that's a powerful verse and it makes me think how do I stand before the Lord does he look at me and see a faithful heart does he look at me and see a committed Christian when God looks down

from heaven does he see me as a Believer who is striving to live in righteousness now the topic of righteousness is one that I find intriguing we're called to righteousness however we as people are far from righteous so what is it that we need to do if the Lord rewards every man for his righteousness but yet we're born in sin how will we be rewarded well to begin with Saints I believe that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior Galatians 2:20 can be said of Our Lives because the Bible says my old

and the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes to fear the lord Our God for our good always that he might preserve Us Alive as it is this day then it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all the Commandments before the Lord Our God as he has commanded us Saints it will be righteousness for us if we follow all his statutes his Commandments and to fear Him 1st Samuel 26:23 says the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness now let us pray dear Lord Jesus you alone Are Holy

you alone are righteous father if we try to live a life that is pleasing to you through our own strength then we will fail we need your grace Lord we need your mercy but as the Bible says I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me and as you live within me Lord you can displace all evil from within me remove everything that is ungodly remove everything that is corrupt remove everything that is unclean Lord purify and cleanse us master your word in Romans 6: 17-8

but thanks be to God that though you used to be slaves to sin you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed Your Allegiance you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness help us to conform to your will father take the lead in our lives may your Commandments outweigh our own selfish Ambitions we desire to walk in a manner that's pleasing and acceptable in your sight we desire to be slaves to righteousness we desire to walk in a manner that is pure a manner

of God help us to be quick to hear the voice of Jesus Christ a voice that calls us to repent and to pick up our cross I pray King Jesus that I may be someone who is quick to seek and search for your voice when I need guidance and Direction Luke 12:12 says for the holy spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say so I pray that the Holy Spirit may be the voice that is loudest in our lives I ask that the Holy Spirit would be the voice that convicts

us to repentance a voice that pushes us to the word of God a voice that reminds us of just how much we need Jesus Christ in our daily lives speak to us in our hearts God speak to us concerning your will concerning your plan for our lives God I ask that you drown out the voice of the enemy drown out the voice that comes only to kill steal and destroy God drown out the voice of the father of lies and instead Lord May the Holy Spirit be the voice that counsels us the voice that teaches

us the voice that convicts us to repentance may he be the voice that guides us you say in your word Lord let your sheep hear your voice and you know them and they follow you indeed we are your sheep Lord Jesus and we're following you the Good Shepherd so Lord we will listen and obey your voice because you'll make us lie down in Green Pastures Only You King Jesus can lead us beside Still Waters your voice Master restores our souls it leads us in the paths of righteousness your word says in Matthew 7: 24 everyone

then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock father God give us the grace to not just be hearers of the word but doers also help us to put aside all of our selfish cares all our selfish Ambitions so that we can put your word into practice Holy Spirit change our hearts challenge us to put into practice the word of God in our day-to-day lives King Jesus we bless your name may you rule and Reign over our lives forever thank you for

hearing this prayer Lord God in Jesus name we pray amen when you are in Jesus Christ you are alive when you are in Jesus Christ you are truly living and breathing however when you are in sin you are separated from God and although your physical body may be alive your spiritual being is dead this is why Paul wrote in Philippians 1: 21 saying for to me to live is Christ and to die is gain now a lot of Believers don't understand this a lot don't know that if you are in sin you are spiritually dead

but let me tell you this the devil and his demons do not care whether you know how they work the forces of Darkness don't care whether you know their action plan and devices they only care about which road you're on which direction you're heading in they only care about what you do in those private moments because that's what counts you see there are forces of Darkness at work in this world as the Apostle Paul reminds us for our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against the powers of

this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly Realms and you need to pray for understanding because the kingdom of darkness is exist exactly what it says it is a kingdom filled with Darkness 1 John 4 verse one beloved do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits whether they are of God because many false prophets have gone out into the world this is discernment with the guidance of the Holy Spirit you can tell who is really speaking from God's word and who is speaking from a place of Doctrine mixed with

deception and I believe saints that we need the Holy Spirit to speak and tug at our hearts my prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open my eyes to every hidden stronghold in my life and within my family may he shine a light on every corner that the enemy is hiding with the aim to take me down Saints God gives us the ability through the Holy Spirit to discern between various spirits and forces in the world at the heart of spiritual discernment is spiritual warfare because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood God's word

says but God being rich in Mercy because of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead in our trespasses made us alive together with Christ by Grace you have been saved and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus when you are alive in Christ you see Jesus Christ for who he really is you see him as the light of the world you see him as truth when you're alive in Christ you see that the devil may form weapons but they will

not Prosper the devil might make plans against you he may scheme against you but none of his plans none of his schemes will prosper when you are alive in Christ it doesn't matter what the kingdom of darkness does because in Jesus we have the victory already let us pray father I pray that we as your children would be sensitive to the Unseen battle before us let us not be complacent let us not procrastinate let us not fall asleep in this war but instead fight in prayer may we fight with divine power that comes only from

you I bless your name and I am grateful that you are a God who hears the prayers of your children may you increase my knowledge of your ways and your will for my life may you increase my wisdom and understanding teach me how to walk with the eyes of faith and discernment open our eyes of discernment and expose the traps set by the devil wherever he may be hiding pour out your spirit over our lives Lord and teach us how to apply your word in everyday life I pray that you would open my eyes to

see your power to see the truth that is in your word your word in Hosea 4:6 says that my people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge I pray that I would not be in this category Lord I pray that all the schemes of the devil will be exposed by Divine Revelations from you remove the scales from my eyes so that I may become wise to the tricks and the deception of this world Lord help me to never conform to the Wicked Ways of this world their way of living it leads to death and destruction

but your way leads to everlasting life I may have to endure ridicule and mockery in this life or put myself in an uncomfortable position but I know that my reward in heaven will be so much greater father help me to be on guard against worldly trap don't let me fall into habits that Grieve Your Holy Spirit don't let me start acting in ways that harm my witness for Christ so often Satan disguises sin as something good and desirable Lord help me not to only recognize these works of darkness but also to expose them and warn

those around me so that they won't be caught unaware give me the courage and strength to stand up against evil whenever I see it build within me a character that is fully equipped and emboldened to stand for the gospel for the gospel is the only thing with the power to transform lives and hearts in this dark and sinful World Lord let that transformation begin in my own mind change my desires so that I no longer think or act like the world but instead imitate the example of Christ in all of my conduct instead of bitterness

fill me with love instead of jealousy fill me with gratitude break me of every habit and attitude that resembles the world and teach me to obey you instead may your Holy Spirit feel me and help me to discern your perfect will for my life Lord Jesus I pray that you would give me the gift of discernment so that I can be sober Vigilant and watchful May the Holy Spirit open my ears and open my eyes that I may see the tricks and traps of the enemy your word says in 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 for though

we live in the world we do not wage war as the world does the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world on the contrary they have divine power to demolish strongholds we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ give me a heart that is sensitive to your voice I pray that you would give me ears to hear you always I bless your name for hearing this prayer be glorified and magnified in my light

in Jesus name I pray amen the Bible says something interesting in 1st Samuel 26:23 it says the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness the Lord delivered you into my hands today but I would not lay a hand on the Lord's anointed read that carefully the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and their faithfulness that's a powerful verse and it makes me think how do I stand before the Lord does he look at me and see a faithful heart does he look at me and see a committed Christian when God looks down from heaven

does he see me as a Believer who is striving to live in righteousness now the topic of righteousness is one that I find intriguing we're called to righteousness however we as people are far from righteous so what is it that we need to do if the Lord rewards every man for his righteousness but yet we're born in sin how will we be rewarded well to begin with Saints I believe that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior Galatians 2:20 can be said of Our Lives because the Bible says my old self has

been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me so I live in this Earthly Body by trusting in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me a human being is Born Into sin this is clear because Psalm 51:5 explicitly States behold I was brought forth in iniquity and in sended my mother conceive me so I may be born in sin but when I repent and give my life to Jesus Christ I can then say what Galatians 2:20 says my old self has been crucified with

Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me so I live in this Earthly Body by trusting in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me so Christ now lives in me therefore when it comes to us chasing righteousness it comes down to how much of ourselves have we yield it to Christ do we love the Lord Our God with all our heart soul and mind or do we place him behind Earthly Pleasures material things sinful things that we can't let go of do Deuteronomy 6: 24-2 says

and the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes to fear the lord Our God for our good always that he might preserve Us Alive as it is this day then it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all the Commandments before the Lord Our God as he has commanded us Saints it will be righteousness for us if we follow all his statutes his Commandments and to fear Him First Samuel 26:23 says the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness now let us pray dear Lord Jesus you alone Are Holy

you alone are righteous father if we try to live a life that is pleasing to you through Our Own Strength then we will fail we need your grace Lord we need your mercy but as the Bible says I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me as you live within me Lord you can displace all evil from within me remove everything that is ungodly remove everything that is corrupt remove everything that is unclean Lord purify and cleanse us master your word in Romans 6: 17-8 but

thanks be to God that though you used to be slaves to sin you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed Your Allegiance you have been set free from sin and have become slaves aves to righteousness help us to conform to your will father take the lead in our lives may your Commandments outweigh our own selfish Ambitions we desire to walk in a manner that's pleasing and acceptable in your sight we desire to be slaves to righteousness we desire to walk in a manner that is pure a manner

that's Christlike enable us to walk in the way of righteousness that leads to life not to death you are a God who takes pleasure in those who pursue righteousness may you find us to be such a people Lord go before us order our steps God so that I may not walk in unrighteousness your word in Psalm 1: 1-2 it says blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of Sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his Delight is in the law of the

Lord and in his law he meditates day and night guide us King Jesus so that we would not be found walking in the counsel of those who are sinful and wicked give us hearts that Delight in your word it's in you Jesus that we seek strength it's in you Lord Lord that we can overcome sin you're a God who never disappoints the one who gives me peace of mind Direction and true leadership so King Jesus we bow down to you we bow down to your Authority Psalm 23:3 says he restores my soul he leads me

in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake we have faith in you Lord because unlike the people on this Earth unlike the ways of this Earth You will never lead us astray you will never lead us to destruction it's only you King Jesus that can lead us through the valley of the shadow of death and still offer us peace it's you who can lead us through the darkest valleys and still offer us joy May the fear of the Lord rest upon us as we pursue righteousness in this life the Bible says in Proverbs 9:10

the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is Insight may you give us wisdom in our lives Lord give us a hunger to pursue righteousness our dear Lord and Master be praised and be glorified thank you for hearing heing our prayer it's in Jesus name that we pray amen one thing that you should know about the Lord is that when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of a Believer one of the biggest signs that God is

with you is that you will come to know a pieace that is beyond all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark 4 from verse 35 to 41 when Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few points I'd like to highlight the disciples were in a boat and they encountered a storm now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into a panicked state where we encounter a storm but when

the disciples woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called called on Jesus and he spoke to the storm they realized who he is the disciples realized that they were on that boat with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the clearest and most significant signs in our lives that God is with

us is peace regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have the Prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehension now the second clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of his hand over your your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus chap 13: 21 the Bible says and the Lord went before them by

day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and By Night God's hand was leading the children of Israel and you see God is a way maker he used a pillar of cloud to guide the Israelites during the day and a pillar of Fire by night and in our own lives God's hand can be seen in the little things the accident that could have taken your life but you came out unscathed God's hand can be

seen in the seasons where you had little but he provided it can be seen in those situations where you should have been broken you should have had a meltdown but somehow you found strength somehow you found joy that's the hand of God now let us pray my heavenly father we thank you for your goodness we thank you for loving us sustaining us giving us life and above all thank you for caring so much that you gave your only begotten son so that we may not perish but have eternal life because of you King Jesus we

can say that we are redeemed we are loved and we are set free by the blood of Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you have good PL for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to approach the throne of grace boldly and

that if I ask anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4:1 answer me when I call to you my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call out your name you offer us relief from from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or insecurities you offer us love and acceptance

when the world would choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all glory all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there is no limit to your abilities there's nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consult to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one who can Enlighten you because you are the God

of Light there's nothing that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your ways are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts it's because you are a god of great power might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40:22 says it is he who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them like

a tent to dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awesome nature your your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you are our unfailing protector who gives us an eternal home you are God who watches over us and our families and I praise you for you have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross for me to set me free from my sins I pray

that my relationship with you will continue to be strengthened day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray amen in the Bible how many times have the prophets of old or biblical writers been inspired by the Holy Spirit and uttered the words thus says the Lord well I for one truly believe that God still speaks even today the Lord speaks to people in many different ways he speaks through the Holy Spirit he speaks through his word and maybe

you've experienced those occasions where you open the Bible and one verse leaps off the page and ministers to you but from a Biblical standpoint God is Not confined to a single manner of communicating with his people in job 38:1 the Lord answered job out of a whirlwind in Exodus 19:18 God announced his presence to Moses in an extraordinary way the Bible says Mount Si was covered with smoke because the Lord descended on it in fire the smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace and the whole Mountain trembled violently in First Kings 19:12

Elijah encounters the Lord and the Bible says and after the earthquake a fire but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire fire a still Small Voice now the point of God speaking in the still Small Voice here I believe was to show Elijah that the work of the Lord need not always be accompanied by some dramatic Revelation or huge manifestation but God can speak in a gentle and peaceful but assured manner another way that God speaks is by making an impression on our spirit here are two verses where we can see

this happening acts 17: 16 now while Paul waited for them at Athens his Spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols and also in Acts 18: 5 when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia Paul was compelled by the spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ on both occasions God or the Holy Spirit made an impression on Paul that provoked compelled and called him to action and to put this into context we need to understand Romans 8 verse 16 which says the spirit himself

Bears Witness with our spirit that we are children of God this gives you a small glimpse into some of the ways in which God speaks and remember that the Lord is not limited in how he speaks so to summarize I believe that God most clearly and most commonly speaks to us in this day and age through his word the more we learn it the more we'll be able to recognize his voice when he does speak and with that understanding the holy spirit is vital for any of us to hear from the Lord clearly and to

discern the voice of God so I encourage you to make it your prayer request that you may hear the voice of the Lord more clearly from this day forward dear Lord together with everyone listening we are here believing we are here waiting patiently waiting expectantly to hear your voice speak to us Lord Jesus speak to our hearts Lord speak through your word and give us Direction give us encouragement give us Clarity and remove every cloud of confusion from our lives Lord speak to us collectively as believers but I also ask you to speak to us

individually Lord God Almighty father give us a word for our families your word in John 10: 27- 28 it says my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give them eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand we desire to hear your voice Lord Jesus because in your voice there is lifegiving power in your voice Lord I find peace I find joy and so I pray that you would open our ears Master let us be a people who are quick to

hear the word of God help us to be quick to hear the voice of Jesus Christ Christ a voice that calls us to repent and to pick up our cross I pray King Jesus that I may be someone who is quick to seek and search for your voice when I need guidance and Direction Luke 12:12 says for the holy spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say so I pray that the Holy Spirit Spirit may be the voice that is loudest in our lives I ask that the Holy Spirit would

be the voice that convicts us to repentance a voice that pushes us to the word of God a voice that reminds us of just how much we need Jesus Christ in our daily lives speak to us in our hearts God speak to us concerning your will concerning your plan for our lives God I ask that you drown out the voice of the enemy drown out the voice that comes only to kill steal and destroy God drown out the voice of the father of lies and instead Lord May the Holy Spirit be the voice that counsels

us the voice that teaches us the voice that convicts us to repentance may he be the voice that gu guides us you say in your word Lord that your sheep hear your voice and you know them and they follow you indeed we are your sheep Lord Jesus and we're following you the Good Shepherd so Lord we will listen and obey your voice because you'll make us lie down in Green Pastures Only You King Jesus can can lead us beside Still Waters your voice Master restores our souls it leads us in the paths of righteousness your

word says in Matthew 7:4 everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock father God give us the grace to not just be hearers of the word but doers also help us to put aside all of our selfish cares all our selfish Ambitions so that we can put your word into practice Holy Spirit change our hearts challenge us to put into practice the word of God in our day-to-day lives King Jesus we bless your name may you rule and Reign over

our lives forever thank you for hearing this prayer Lord God in Jesus name we pray amen when you are in Jesus Christ you are alive when you are in Jesus Christ you are truly living and breathing however when you are in sin you are separated from God and although your physical body may be alive your spiritual being is dead this is why Paul wrote in Philippians 1: 21 saying for to me to live is Christ and to die is gain now a lot of Believers don't understand this a lot don't know that if you are

form weapons but they will not Prosper the devil might make plans against you he may scheme against you but none of his plans none of his schemes will prosper when you are alive in Christ it doesn't matter what the kingdom of darkness does because in Jesus we have the victory already let us pray father I pray that we as your children would be sensitive to the Unseen battle before us let us not be complacent let us not procrastinate let us not not fall asleep in this war but instead fight in prayer may we fight with

divine power that comes only from you I bless your name and I am grateful that you are a God who hears the prayers of your children may you increase my knowledge of your ways and your will for my life may you increase my wisdom and understanding teach me how to walk with the eyes of faith and discernment oh open our eyes of discernment and expose the traps set by the devil wherever he may be hiding pour out your spirit over our lives Lord and teach us how to apply your word in everyday life I pray

King Jesus we can say that we are redeemed we are loved and we are set free by the blood of Jesus Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you have good plans for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to approach the throne

of grace boldly and that if I ask anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4:1 answer me when I call to you my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call out your name you offer us relief from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or insecurities you offer us

love and acceptance when the world would choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all glory all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there is no limit to your abilities there's nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consult to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one who can Enlighten you because you

are the God of Light there is nothing that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your ways are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts it's because you are a god of great power might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40:22 says it is he who s sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers who stretches out the heavens like a

curtain and spreads them like a tent to dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awesome nature your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you are our unfailing protector who gives us an eternal home you are God who watches over us and our families and I praise you for you have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross for me to set me free from

my sins I pray that my relationship with you will continue to be strengthened day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray Amen in the Bible how many times have the prophets of old or biblical writers been inspired by the Holy Spirit and uttered the word words thus says the Lord well I for one truly believe that God still speaks even today the Lord speaks to people in many different ways he speaks through the Holy Spirit he speaks

through his word and maybe you've experienced those occasions where you open the Bible and one verse leaps off the page and ministers to you but from a Biblical standpoint God is Not confined to a single manner of communicating with his people in job 38:1 the Lord answered job out of a whirlwind in Exodus 19:18 God announced his presence to Moses in an extraordinary way the Bible says Mount Si was covered with smoke because the Lord descended on it in fire the smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace and the whole Mountain trembled

violently in First Kings 19:12 Elijah encounters the Lord and the Bible says and after the earthquake of fire but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire a still Small Voice now the point of God speaking in the still Small Voice here I believe was to show Elijah that the work of the Lord need not always be accompanied by some dramatic Revelation or huge manifestation but God can speak in a gentle and peaceful but assured manner another way that God speaks is by making an impression on our spirit here are two verses

where we can see this happening Acts 17:16 now while Paul waited for them at Athens his Spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols and also in acts 18:5 when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia Paul was compelled by the spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ on both occasions God or the Holy Spirit made an impression on Paul that provoked compelled and called him to action and to put this into context we need to understand Romans 8: 16 which says the spirit

himself Bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God this gives you a small glimpse into some of the ways in which God speaks and remember that the Lord is not limited in how he speaks so to summarize I believe that God most clearly and most commonly speaks to us in this day and age through his word the more we learn it the more we'll be able to recognize his voice when he does speak and with that understanding the holy spirit is vital for any of us to hear from the Lord clearly and

to discern the voice of God so I encourage you to make it your prayer request that you may hear the voice of the Lord more clearly from this day forward dear Lord together with everyone listening we are here believing we are here waiting patiently waiting expectantly to hear your voice speak to us Lord Jesus speak to our hearts Lord speak through your word and give us Direction give us encouragement give us Clarity and remove every cloud of confusion from our lives Lord speak to us collectively as Believers but I also ask you to speak to

us individually Lord God Almighty father give us a word for our family amilies your word in John 10: 27-28 it says my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give them eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand we desire to hear your voice Lord Jesus because in your voice there is life lifegiving power in your voice Lord I find peace I find joy and so I pray that you would open our ears Master let us be a people who are

quick to hear the word of God help us to be quick to hear the voice of Jesus Christ a voice that calls us to repent and to pick up our cross I pray King Jesus that I may be some someone who is quick to seek and search for your voice when I need guidance and Direction Luke 12:12 says for the holy spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say so I pray that the Holy Spirit may be the voice that is loudest in our lives I ask that the Holy Spirit

would be the voice that convicts us to repent a voice that pushes us to the word of God a voice that reminds us of just how much we need Jesus Christ in our daily lives speak to us in our hearts God speak to us concerning your will concerning your plan for our lives God I ask that you drown out the voice of the enemy drown out the voice that comes only to kill steal and destroy God drown out the voice of the father of lies and instead Lord May the Holy Spirit be the voice that

counsels us the voice that teaches us the voice that convicts us to repentance may he be the voice that guides us you say in your word Lord that your sheep hear your voice and you know them and they follow you indeed we are your sheep Lord Jesus and we're following you the Good Shepherd so Lord we will listen and obey your voice because you'll make us lie down in Green Pastures Only You King Jesus can lead us beside Still Waters your voice Master restores our souls it leads us in the paths of righteousness your word

says in Matthew 7:4 everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock father God give us the grace to not just be hearers of the word but doers also help us to put aside all of our selfish cares all our selfish Ambitions so that we can put your word into practice Holy Spirit change our hearts challenge us to put into practice the word of God in our day-to-day lives King Jesus we bless your name may you rule and Reign over our

lives forever thank you for hearing this prayer Lord God in Jesus name we pray amen when you are in Jesus Christ you are alive when you are in Jesus Christ you are truly living and breathing however when you are in sin you are separated from God and although your physical body may be alive your spiritual being is dead this is why Paul wrote in Philippians 1: 211 saying for to me to live is Christ and to die is gain now a lot of Believers don't understand this a lot don't know that if you are in

sin you are spiritually dead but let me tell you this the devil and his demons do not care whether you know how they work the forces of Darkness don't care whether you know their action plan and device es they only care about which road you're on which direction you're heading in they only care about what you do in those private moments because that's what counts you see there are forces of Darkness at work in this world as the Apostle Paul reminds us for our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against

the authorities against the powers of this Dark World and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly Realms and you need to pray for understanding because the kingdom of darkness is exactly what it says it is a kingdom filled with Darkness 1 John 4:1 beloved do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits whether they are of God because many false prophets prophets have gone out into the world this is discernment with the guidance of the Holy Spirit you can tell who is really speaking from God's word and who is speaking from a place

of Doctrine mixed with deception and I believe saints that we need the Holy Spirit to speak and tug at our hearts my prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open my eyes to every hidden stronghold in my life and within my family may he shine a light on every corner that the enemy is hiding with the aim to take me down Saints God gives us the ability through the Holy Spirit to discern between various spirits and forces in the world at the heart of spiritual discernment is spiritual warfare because we do not wrestle against flesh

and blood God's word says but God being rich in Mercy because of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead in our trespasses made us alive together with Christ by Grace you have been saved and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus when you are alive in Christ you see Jesus Christ for who he really is is you see him as the light of the world you see him as truth when you're alive in Christ you see that the devil may

form weapons but they will not Prosper the devil might make plans against you he may scheme against you but none of his plans none of his schemes will prosper when you are alive in Christ it doesn't matter what the kingdom of Darkness does because in Jesus we have the victory already let us pray father I pray that we as your children would be sensitive to the Unseen battle before us let us not be complacent let us not procrastinate let us not fall asleep in this war but instead fight in prayer may we fight with divine

power that comes only from you I bless your name and I am grateful that you are a God who hears the prayers of your children may you increase my knowledge of your ways and your will for my life may you increase my wisdom and understanding teach me how to walk with the eyes of faith and discernment open our eyes of discernment and expose the traps set by the devil wherever he may be hiding pour out your spirit over our lives Lord and teach us how to apply your word in everyday life I pray that you

would open my eyes to see your power to see the truth that is in your word your word in Hosea 4:6 says that my people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge I pray that I would not be in this category Lord I pray that all the schemes of the devil will be exposed by Divine Revelations from you remove the scales from my eyes so that I may become wise to the tricks and the deception of this world Lord help me to never conform to the Wicked Ways of this world their way of living it

leads to death and destruction but your way leads to everlasting life I may have to endure ridicule and mockery in this life or put myself in an uncomfortable position but I know that my reward in heaven will be so much greater father help me to be on guard against worldly traps don't let me fall into habits that Grieve Your Holy Spirit don't let me start acting in ways that harm my witness for Christ so often Satan disguises sin as something good and desirable Lord help me not to only re recognize these works of darkness but

also to expose them and warn those around me so that they won't be caught unaware give me the courage and strength to stand up against evil whenever I see it build within me a character that is fully equipped and emboldened to stand for the gospel for the gospel is the only thing with the power to transform lives and hearts in this dark and sinful World Lord let that transformation begin in my own mind change my desires so that I no longer think or act like the world but instead imitate the example of Christ in all

of my conduct instead of bitterness fill me with love instead of jealousy fill me with gratitude break me of every habit and attitude that resembles the world and teach me to obey you instead may your Holy Spirit fill me and help me to discern your perfect will for my life Lord Jesus I pray that you would give me the gift of discernment so that I can be sober Vigilant and watchful May the Holy Spirit open my ears and open my eyes that I may see the tricks and traps of the enemy your word says in

2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 for though we live in the world we do not wage war as the world does the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world on the contrary they have divine power to demolish strongholds we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ give me a heart that is sensitive to your voice I pray that you would give me ears to hear you always I bless your name for hearing this prayer be

glorified and magnified in my life in Jesus name I pray amen the Bible says something interesting in 1st Samuel 26:23 it says the Lord rewards every one for their righteousness and faithfulness the Lord delivered you into my hands today but I would not lay a hand on the Lord's anointed read that carefully the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and their faithfulness that's a powerful verse and it makes me think how do I stand before the Lord does he look at me and see a faithful heart does he look at me and see a committed

Christian when God looks down from heaven does he see me as a Believer who is striving to live in righteousness now the topic of righteousness is one that I find intriguing we're called to righteousness however we as people are far from righteous so what is it that we need to do if the Lord rewards every man for his righteousness but yet were born in sin how will we be rewarded well to begin with Saints I believe that when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior Galatians 2:20 can be said of Our Lives because

the Bible says my old self has been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me so I live in this Earthly Body by trusting in the son of God God who loved me and gave himself for me a human being is Born Into sin this is clear because Psalm 51:5 explicitly States behold I was brought forth in iniquity and in sended my mother conceive me so I may be born in sin but when I repent and give my life to Jesus Christ I can then say what Galatians 2:20

says my old self has has been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me so I live in this Earthly Body by trusting in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me so Christ now lives in me therefore when it comes to us chasing righteousness it comes down to how much of ourselves have we yielded to Christ do we love the Lord Our God with all our heart soul and mind or do we place him behind Earthly Pleasures material things sinful things that we can't

let go of Deuteronomy 6: 24-25 says and the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes to fear the lord Our God for our good always that he might preserve Us Alive as it is this day then it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all the Commandments before the Lord Our God as he has commanded us Saints it will be righteousness for us if we follow all his statutes his Commandments and to fear Him 1st Samuel 26:23 says the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness now let us pray

dear Lord Jesus you alone Are Holy you alone are righteous father if we try to live a life that is pleasing to you through our own strength then we will fail we need your grace Lord we need your mercy but as the Bible says I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me as you live within me Lord you can displace all evil from within me remove everything that is ungodly remove everything that is corrupt remove everything that is unclean Lord purify and cleanse us master

your word in Romans 6: 17-8 but thanks be to God that though you used to be slaves to sin you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed Your Allegiance you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness help us to conform to your will father take the lead in our lives may your Commandments outweigh our own selfish Ambitions we desire to walk in a manner that's pleasing and acceptable in your sight we desire to be slaves to righteousness we desire to walk in a

manner that is pure a manner that's Christlike enable us to walk in the way of righteousness that leads to life not to death you are a God who takes pleasure in those who pursue righteousness may you find us to be such a people Lord go before us order our steps God so that I may not walk in unrighteousness your word in Psalm 1: 1-2 it says blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of Sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his Delight

is in the law of the Lord and in his law he meditates day and night guide us King Jesus so that we would not be found walking in the counsel of those who are sinful and wicked give us hearts that Delight in your word it's in you Jesus that we seek strength it's in you Lord that we can overcome sin you're a God who never disappoints the one who gives me peace of mind Direction and true leadership so King Jesus we bow down to you we bow down to your Authority Psalm 23:3 says he restores

my soul he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake we have faith in you Lord because unlike the people on this Earth unlike the ways of this Earth You will never lead us astray you will never lead us to destruction it's only you King Jesus that can lead us through the valley of the shadow of death and still offer us PE peace it's you who can lead us through the darkest valleys and still offer us joy May the fear of the Lord rest upon us as we pursue righteousness in this life

the Bible says in Proverbs 9:10 the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is Insight may you give us wisdom in our lives Lord give us a hunger to pursue righteousness our dear Lord and Master be praised and be glorified thank you for hearing our prayer it's in Jesus name that we pray amen one thing that you should know about the Lord is that when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of a Believer one of the

biggest signs that God is with you is that you will come to know a piece that is beyond all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark chapter 4 from verse 35 to 41 when Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few points I'd like to highlight the disciples were in a boat and they encountered a storm now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into a panicked state where

we encounter a storm but when the disciples woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called on Jesus and he spoke to the storm they realized who he is the disciples realized that they were on that boat with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the clearest and most significant signs in our

lives that God is with us is peace regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have the Prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehens now the second clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of his hand over your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus 13: 21 the Bible says says and the Lord

went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and By Night God's hand was leading the children of Israel and you see God is a way maker he used a pillar of cloud to guide the Israelites during the day and a pillar of Fire by night and in our own lives God's hand can be seen in the little things the accident that could have taken your life but you came out unscathed

God's hand can be seen in the seasons where you had little but he provided it can be seen in those situations where you should have been broken you should have had a meltdown but somehow you found strength somehow you found joy that's the hand of God now let us pray my heavenly father we thank you for your goodness we thank you for loving us sustaining us giving us life and above all thank you for caring so much that you gave your only begotten son so that we may not perish but have eternal life because of

you King Jesus we can say that we are redeemed we are loved and we are set free by the blood of Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you have good plans for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to approach the throne

of grace boldly and that if I ask anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4:1 answer me when I call to you my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call out your name you offer us relief from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or insecurities you offer us

love and acceptance when the world would choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all glory all all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there is no limit to your abilities there is nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consult to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one who can Enlighten you

because you are the God of Light there is nothing that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your ways are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts it's because you are a god of great power might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40 verse 22 says it is he who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers who stretches out the

heavens like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awesome nature your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you are our unfailing protector who gives us an eternal home you are a God who watches over us and our families and I praise you for you have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross for me to

set me free from my sins I pray that my relationship with you will continue to be strengthen day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray Amen in the Bible how many times have the prophets of old or biblical writers been inspired by the Holy Spirit and uttered the words thus says the Lord well I for one truly believe that God still speaks even today the Lord speaks to people in many different ways he speaks through the Holy

to speak to us individually Lord God Almighty father give us a word for our families your word in John 10: 27 through 28 it says my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give them eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand we desire to hear your voice Lord Jesus because in your voice there is lifegiving power in your voice Lord I find peace I find joy and so I pray that you would open our ears Master let us be a

because the Bible says my old self has been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me so I live in this Earthly Body by trusting in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me a human being is Born Into sin this is clear because psalm 51: explicitly States behold I was brought forth in iniquity and in sended my mother conceive me so I may be born in sin but when I repent and give my life to Jesus Christ I can then say what Galatians 2:20

says my old self has been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me so I live in this Earthly body by trusting in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me so Christ now lives in me therefore when it comes to us chasing righteousness it comes down to how much of ourselves have we yielded to Christ do we love the Lord Our God with all our heart soul and mind or do we place him behind Earthly Pleasures material things sinful things that we can't let

go of Deuteronomy 6: 24-2 says and the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes to fear the lord Our God for our good always that he might preserve Us Alive as it is this day then it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all the Commandments before the Lord Our God as he has commanded us Saints it will be righteousness for us if we follow all his statutes his Commandments and to fear Him 1 Samuel 26:23 says the Lord rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness now let us pray dear

Lord Jesus you alone Are Holy you alone are righteous father if we try to live a life that is pleasing to you through our own strength then we will fail we need your grace Lord we need your mercy but as the Bible says I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me as you live within me Lord you can displace all evil from within me remove everything that is ungodly remove everything that is corrupt remove everything that is unclean Lord purify and cleanse us master your

word in Romans 6: 17-18 but thanks be to God that though you used to be slaves to sin you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed Your Allegiance you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness help us to conform to your will father take the lead in our lives may your Commandments outweigh our own selfish Ambitions we desire to walk in a manner that's pleasing and acceptable in your sight we desire to be slaves to righteousness we desire to walk in a manner

that is pure a manner that Christlike enable us to walk in the way of righteousness that leads to life not to death you are a God who takes pleasure in those who pursue righteousness may you find us to be such a people Lord go before us order our steps God so that I may not walk in unrighteousness your word in Psalm 1 veres 1-2 it says blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of Sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his Delight

is in the law of the Lord and in his law he meditates day and night guide us King Jesus so that we would not be found walking in the counsel of those who are sinful and wicked give us hearts that Delight in your word it's in you Jesus that we seek strength it's in you Lord that we can overcome sin you're a God who never disappoints the one who gives me peace of mind Direction and true leadership so King Jesus we bow down to you we bow down to your Authority Psalm 23:3 says he restores

my soul he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake we have faith in you Lord because unlike the people on this Earth unlike the ways of this Earth You will never lead us astray you will never lead us to destruction it's only you King Jesus that can lead us through the valley of the shadow of death and still offer us peace it's you who can lead us through the darkest valleys and still offer us joy May the fear of the Lord Lord rest upon us as we pursue righteousness in this life

the Bible says in Proverbs 9:10 the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is Insight may you give us wisdom in our lives Lord give us a hunger to pursue righteousness our dear Lord and Master be praised and be glorified thank thank you for hearing our prayer it's in jesus' name that we pray amen one thing that you should know about the Lord is that when God's presence comes into your life there will be a clear and significant effect on the life of a Believer one of

the biggest signs that God is with you is that you will come to know a pieace that is beyond all human understanding if you cast your mind to Mark 4 from verse 35 to 41 when Jesus spoke to a storm there are a few points I'd like to highlight the disciples were in a boat and they encountered a storm now we as Believers are in our own boats and in this boat called life we will all encounter storms now our first reaction tends to be much like the disciples we go into a panicked state where

we encounter a storm but when the disciples woke Jesus up and he spoke peace into that storm the disciples realized something they weren't on that boat alone they weren't on that boat with just anybody once they called on Jesus and he spoke to the storm they realized who he is the disciples realized that they were on that boat with the King of Kings the Lord of lords and the prince of peace now as we are on our own journey in this life when we encounter storms one of the clearest and most sign significant signs in

our lives that God is with us is peace regardless of the storm when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have the Prince of Peace when you have Jesus Christ in your life you have peace beyond all comprehension now the second clear and significant sign that God is with you in life is that you will see evidence of his hand over your life whether you believe it or not God is interested in every single area of your life even the seemingly little and insignificant things in Exodus 13: 21 the Bible says and the Lord

went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and By Night God's hand was leading the children of Israel and you see God is a way maker he used a pillar of cloud to guide the Israelites during the day and a pillar of Fire by night and in our own lives God's hand can be seen in the little things the accident that could have taken your life but you came out unscathed

God's hand can be seen in the seasons where you had little but he provided it can be seen in those situations where you should have been broken you should have had a meltdown but somehow you found strength somehow you found joy that's the hand of God now let us pray my heavenly father we thank you for your goodness we thank you for loving us sustaining us giving us life and above all thank you for caring so much that you gave your only begotten son so that we may not perish but have eternal life Because of

You King Jesus we can say that we are redeemed we are loved and we are set free by the blood of Jesus Christ there is no one else like you father I thank you King Jesus for being our Rock and pillar in this world we will rejoice always we will give you our thanks in all circumstances because you have good plans for our lives that is divine and for a greater purpose so we trust that all of our steps are ordered by you we have confidence in your word that tells us to approach the throne

of grace boldly and that if I ask anything according to your will then I know that you will hear me thank you for being good to us thank you for being patient with us your word says in Psalms 4 verse1 answer me when I call to you my righteous God give me relief from my distress have mercy on me and hear my prayer We Trust and Believe In You King Jesus that you will answer us when we call out your name you offer offer us relief from distress you offer wholeness from loneliness or insecurities you

offer us love and acceptance when the world would choose to condemn us and for that we are grateful Lord you deserve all glory all the glory for your awesome power so great are your abilities that you measured the waters in each and every ocean each River and all of the Seas we praise you because there is no limit to your abilities there's nothing that you cannot do just as the book of Isaiah says whom did the Lord consult to Enlighten him who was it that taught him knowledge there is no one who can Enlighten you

because you are the God of Light there is nothing that anyone can teach you because you are filled with Infinite Wisdom your ways are higher than ours your thoughts are higher than our thoughts it's because you are a god of great power might and strength that I adore you and Praise Your Name Lord if you had never loved me if you had never saved me then father where would I be Isaiah 40:22 says it is he who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants or like grasshoppers who stretches out the heavens like

a curtain and spreads them like a tent to dwell in there are no words to properly describe your awes aome nature your infinite wisdom and your Supernatural power so today we offer up our praises to you there is nothing else that we can give you but our hearts our praise and our adoration you are our unfailing protector who gives us an eternal home you are a God who watches over us and our families and I pray praise you for you have never let me down I thank you for dying on the cross for me to

set me free from my sins I pray that my relationship with you will continue to be strengthened day by day may I continue to grow and be closer and more intimate with you thank you for hearing this prayer in jesus' name I pray amen in the Bible how many times have the prophets of old or biblical writers been inspired by the Holy Spirit and uttered the words thus says the Lord well I for one truly believe that God still speaks even today the Lord speaks to people in many different ways he speaks through the Holy

Spirit he speaks through his word and maybe you've experienced those occasions where you open the Bible and one verse leaps off the page and ministers to you but from a Biblical standpoint God is Not confined to a single manner of communicating with his people in job 38:1 the Lord answered job out of a whirlwind in Exodus 19:18 God announced his presence to Moses in an extraordinary way the Bible says Mount Si was covered with smoke because the Lord descended on it in fire the smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace and the

whole Mountain trembled violently in First Kings 19:12 Elijah encounters the Lord and the Bible says and after the earthquake a fire but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire a still Small Voice now the point of God speaking in the still Small Voice here I believe was to show Elijah that the work of the Lord need not always be accompanied by some dramatic Revelation or huge manifestation but God can speak in a gentle and peaceful but assured manner another way that God speaks is by making an impression on our spirit here

are two verses where we can see this happening acts 17:16 now while Paul waited for them at Athens his Spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols and also in acts 18:5 when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia Paul was compelled by the spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ on both occasions God or the Holy Spirit made an impression on Paul that provoked compelled and called him to action and to put this into context we need to understand Romans 8 verse 16

which says the spirit himself Bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God this gives you a small glimpse into some of the ways in which God speaks and remember that the Lord is not limited in how he speaks so to summarize I believe that God most clearly and most commonly speaks to us in this day and age through his word the more we learn it the more we'll be able to recognize his voice when he does speak and with that understanding the holy spirit is vital for any of us to hear from

the Lord clearly and to discern the voice of God so I encourage you to make it your prayer request that you may hear the voice of the Lord more clearly from this day forward dear Lord together with everyone listening we are here believing we are here waiting patiently waiting expectantly to hear your voice speak to us Lord Jesus speak to our hearts Lord speak through your word and give us Direction give us encouragement give us Clarity and remove every cloud of confusion from our lives Lord speak to us collectively as Believers but I also ask

you to speak to us individually Lord God Almighty father give us a word for our families your word in John 10: 27- 28 it says my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give them eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand we desire to hear your voice Lord Jesus because in your voice there is lifegiving power in your voice Lord I find peace I find joy and so I pray that you would open our ears Master let us be a

people who are quick to hear the word of God help us to be quick to to hear the voice of Jesus Christ a voice that calls us to repent and to pick up our cross I pray King Jesus that I may be someone who is quick to seek and search for your voice when I need guidance and Direction Luke 12:12 says for the holy spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say so I pray that the Holy Spirit may be the voice that is loudest in our lives I ask that

the Holy Spirit would be the voice that convicts us to repentance a voice that pushes us to the word of God a voice that reminds us of just how much we need Jesus Christ in our daily lives speak to us in our hearts God speak to us concerning your will concerning your plan plan for our lives God I ask that you drown out the voice of the enemy drown out the voice that comes only to kill steal and destroy God drown out the voice of the father of lies and instead Lord May the Holy Spirit

be the voice that counsels us the voice that teaches us the voice that convicts us to repentance may he be the voice that guides us you say in your word Lord that your sheep hear your voice and you know them and they follow you indeed we are your sheep Lord Jesus and we're following you the Good Shepherd so Lord we will listen and obey your voice because you'll make us lie down in Green Pastures Only You King Jesus can lead us beside Still Waters your voice Master restores our souls it leads us in the paths

of righteousness your word says in Matthew 7: 24 everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock father God give us the grace to not just be hearers of the word but doers also help us to put aside all of our selfish cares all our selfish Ambitions so that we can put your word into practice Holy Spirit change our hearts challenge us to put into practice the word of God in our day-to-day lives King Jesus we bless your name name may

you rule and Reign over our lives forever thank you for hearing this prayer Lord God in Jesus name we pray amen when you are in Jesus Christ you are alive when you are in Jesus Christ you are truly living and breathing however when you are in sin you are separated from God and all though your physical body may be alive your spiritual being is dead this is why Paul wrote in Philippians 1: 21 saying for to me to live is Christ and to die is gain now a lot of Believers don't understand this a lot

don't know that if you are in sin you are spiritually dead but let me tell you this the devil and his demons do not care whether you know how they work the forces of Darkness don't care whether you know their action plan and devices they only care about which road you're on which direction you're heading in they only care about what you do in those private moments because that's what counts you see there are forces of Darkness at work in this world as the apostle so Paul reminds us for our struggle is not against flesh

and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly Realms and you need to pray for understanding because the kingdom of darkness is exactly what it says it is a kingdom filled with Darkness 1 John 4 verse one beloved do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits whether they are of God because many false prophets have gone out into the world this is discernment with the guidance of the Holy Spirit you can tell who is really speaking from God's

word and who is speaking from a place of Doctrine mixed with deception and I believe saints that we need the holy Spirit to speak and tug at our hearts my prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open my eyes to every hidden stronghold in my life and within my family may he shine a light on every corner that the enemy is hiding with the aim to take me down Saints God gives us the ability through the Holy Spirit to discern between various spirits and forces in the world at the heart of spiritual discernment is spiritual

warfare because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood God's word says but God being rich in Mercy because of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead in our trespasses made us alive together with Christ by Grace you have been saved and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus when you are alive in Christ you see Jesus Christ for who he really is you see him as the light of the world you see him as truth when you're alive in

Christ you see that the devil may form weapons but they will not Prosper the devil might make plans against you he may scheme against you but none of his plans none of his schemes will prosper when you are alive in Christ it doesn't matter what the kingdom of darkness does because in Jesus we have the victory already let us pray father I pray that we as your children would be sensitive to the Unseen battle before us let us not be complacent let us not procr Destiny let us not fall asleep in this war but instead

fight in prayer may we fight with divine power that comes only from you I bless your name and I am grateful that you are a God who hears the prayers of your children may you increase my knowledge of your ways and your will for my life may you increase my wisdom and understanding teach me how to walk with the eyes of faith and discernment open our eyes of discernment and expose the traps set by the devil wherever he may be hiding pour out your spirit over our lives Lord and teach us how to apply your

word in everyday life I pray that you would open my eyes to see your power to see the truth that is in your word your word in Hosea 4:6 says that my people are destroyed from a lack of know knowledge I pray that I would not be in this category Lord I pray that all the schemes of the devil will be exposed by Divine Revelations from you remove the scales from my eyes so that I may become wise to the tricks and the deception of this world Lord help me to never conform to the Wicked

Ways of this world their way of living it leads to death and destruction but your way leads to everlasting life I may have to endure ridicule and mockery in this life or put myself in an uncomfortable position but I know that my reward in heaven will be so much greater father help me to be on guard against worldly traps don't let me fall into habits that Grieve Your Holy Spirit don't let me start acting in ways that harm my witness for Christ so often Satan disguises sin as something good and desirable Lord help me not

to only recognize these works of darkness but also to expose them and warn those around me so that they won't be caught unaware give me the courage and strength to stand up against evil whenever I see it build within me a character that is fully equipped and em emboldened to stand for the gospel for the gospel is the only thing with the power to transform lives and hearts in this dark and sinful World Lord let that transformation begin in my own mind change my desires so that I no longer think or act like the world

but instead imitate the example of Christ in all of my conduct instead of bitterness fill me with love instead of jealousy fill me with gratitude break me of every habit and attitude that resembles the world and teach me to obey you instead may your Holy Spirit feel me and help me to discern your perfect will for my life Lord Jesus I pray that you would give me the gift of discernment so that I can be sober Vigilant and watchful May the Holy Spirit open my ears and open my eyes that I may see the tricks

and traps of the enemy your word says in 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 for though we live in the world we do not wage war as the world does the weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world on the contrary they have divine power to demolish strongholds we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ give me a heart that is sensitive to your voice I pray that you would give me ears to hear you always

I bless your name for hearing this prayer be glorified and magnified in my life in Jesus name I pray amen
