Don't Go To Bed Without Listening To This! | The Best Prayers To Fall Asleep In God's Presence

Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever and I believe this is an important scripture for every believer to remember because our Lord does not change the same Jesus who cast out Spirits with his word the same Jesus that healed all that were sick in the Bible thousands of years ago that same Jesus can still heal all today Matthew Matthew 14:35 and 36 says and when the men of that place recognized Jesus they sent word to all the surrounding country people brought all their sick to him and begged him to let

the sick just touch the edge of his cloak and all who touched it were healed you and I today can still Touch the Hem of His Garment through our faith we can still be made perfectly well because the word of God also says all things are possible all things whether you're Catholic Baptist charismatic or Evangelical whatever denomination you are God's word says all things are possible it doesn't matter what science thinks it doesn't matter what the most credible explanation is God can do the impossible even today his word does not lie his word is true

and if it is in God's will to move in a supernatural way then may his will be done in Matthew 15:30 the Bible recorded that great crowds came to him bringing the lame the blind the crippled the mute and many others and laid them at his feet and he healed them the same Jesus who healed great multitudes he still heals today he still has hour today the same Jesus who healed blind bardus and the woman with the issue of blood he still healing today so I encourage you to bow down surrender to the one and

only son of God and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things for you even now lay down your requests at the feet of the father and believe that he can do Wonder ful and miraculous things and so as we prepare to go to God In Prayer bring your troubles bring your pain bring that heartache bring it all to Jesus he's able to heal your physical body he's able to heal your mind he's able to heal your heart take the limits off and ask him to heal you everywhere you you hurt dear heavenly father

of the church and let them pray over him anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up and if he has committed sins he will be forgiven Luke 17: 12-19 then as he entered a certain Village there met him 10 men who were lepers who stood AAR off and they lifted up their voices and said Jesus Master have mercy on us so when he saw them he said to them go show yourselves to the priest and so it was

that as they went they were cleansed and one of them when he saw that he was healed returned and with a loud voice glorified God and fell down on his face at his feet giving him thanks and he was a Samaritan so Jesus answered and said were there not 10 cleansed but where are the nine were there not any who return to give glory to God except this Foreigner and he said to him arise go your way your faith has made you well Mark 10: 46-52 now they came to Jericho as he went out of

Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude blind bardus the son of tus Sat by the road begging and when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began to cry out and say Jesus son of David have mercy on me then many warned him to be quiet but he cried out all the more son of David have mercy on me so Jesus Stood Still and commanded him to be called then they called the blind man saying to him be of good cheer rise he is calling you and throwing aside His Garment he rose

and came to Jesus so Jesus answered and said to him what do you want me to do for you the blind man said to him Rabon I that I may receive my sight then Jesus said to him go your way your faith has made you well and immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road acts 10:38 how God anointed to Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him and even today dear listeners

God is with you meditate on his word believe in his word have faith in his power and then say father thy will be done dear God Almighty we bow down to you and say you are Great and Mighty to be praised I pray that the Holy Spirit would help each of us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus help us to be firm and consistently focused on God's word above the opinions of man above what our natural eyes can see King Jesus help us not to be swayed and distracted by this world or by the

obstacles presented to us in this world but Lord I pray that you would give us hearts that are committed to you your word tells us that the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the Earth so that he may support those whose heart is completely hid father we declare that our hearts are fully confident in you our hearts fully trust you master and we pray that the holy spirit will help us to be disciplined and not to let our eyes wander or gaze at anything sinful father your word in psalm 16:8 says I

know the Lord is always with me I will not be shaken for he is right beside me King Jesus so long as you are by my side then I cannot be shaken so we pray that you would take the lead Master have your way I pray for the strength to continue fighting my carnal desire to take matters into my own hands instead I submit to you and will keep my eyes always on Jesus Holy Spirit I pray that you would Minister to The Souls of each and every person listening be that still Small Voice that

reminds us to constantly cling to Jesus Christ help us to keep our eyes on the Lord help us to to keep our eyes on things above and not on things of the earth convict us holy spirit to continually keep our eyes on the Lord father give us an attitude whereby if all is well our eyes would still be on Jesus the Bible in Hebrews 12:2 says fix fixing our eyes on Jesus the Pioneer and perfector of faith for the joy set before him he endured the cross scorning its shame and sat down at the right

hand of the Throne of God when we Face the obstacles of Life help us to keep our eyes fixed on Christ teach us holy spirit to continuously examine ourselves and evaluate what our focus is and where our eyes are fixed Lord Jesus I thank you for your goodness I look to you because you took my sins when you hung on the cross you redeemed me Lord you have saved and delivered me if it were not for your wonderful sacrifice then where would I be if you never shed your precious blood then who could have saved

me there is none like you King Jesus that's why my eyes will remain fixed on you you extended your loving arms to me and called me to repentance because of this I rejoice and I say all praise and honor be to the most high because I am saved Sanctified and Redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God there is no better time to praise you Lord than right now and so I Rejoice today I sing your praises today because if it wasn't for Jehovah Gyra who would provide for me if it

wasn't for elai God Almighty who would save me if it wasn't for the lion of the tribe of Judah who would be my protector I Praise You Lord You Are Holy and worthy of my adoration thank you for listening to my prayer in Jesus name I pray amen I am sure that each of us as we've gone through certain things in life as we faced various storms and difficulties in life we have all gotten to the point where we start asking God questions questions like why is this happening to me or perhaps you've asked a

question like God how will this situation work out for my good the Bible in Romans 8: 28 says as we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are the called according to his purpose the thing about us as humans is that we always want to know all of the details we want to know how God will make a way where there seems to be no way we want to know how exactly God operates and why he allows certain things to happen now should you find yourself in

a storm of difficulty may I remind you that Psalm 34: 19 says many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all however as humans we always want to know the details how exactly will the Lord Deliver Us however I would like to encourage you and tell you that God is Sovereign meaning that he possesses Supreme and ultimate power and because the Lord possesses all authority all power and knowledge this means that our part is not to question God we are not to demand answers or feel as though we're

on the same level with God that he has to explain himself that's not the case our part is to have faith that God means what he says and he says what he means if he says all things work together for my good then my part is not to ask how but it's simply to trust trust that God honors his word if the word of God tells me that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all then my part is to Hold On by faith to this promise with

the eyes of Faith you can see the hand of God the goodness of God in every situation regardless of how painful through faith you begin to consider if you've been placed in that set of circumstances for a specific reason or for a specific purpose a purpose such as unlocking a stronger desire for prayer in your life a purpose such as Awakening a hunger for righteousness and Holiness like never before in your life or perhaps the purpose of such a test is to expose the gifts and the calling that lays dormant inside of you too often

because we're focusing on the negative we don't see the positive in that situation and we don't see what God is trying to do could it be that the reason for this difficulty is God wanting to reveal to you how real he is perhaps this is a test where God wants to demonstrate himself to be your provider or perhaps the Lord wants to use this trial in your life to demonstrate his strength and kindness to you and so dear friend whatever the purpose of this trial you're in I encourage you to do your part your part

is to hold on in faith and look to Jesus now let us pray Lord God I bow down before you and acknowledge you to be the Great I Am father help us to trust you more give us Faith Without Borders give us the type of faith that can walk on water lord together with everyone listening we believe that you King Jesus Christ can still perform miracles on this Earth today you can still make every crooked path straight you can still mend every broken heart and make it whole again Holy Spirit teaches how to change our

perspectives help us to learn to walk by faith and not by sight open our spiritual eyes and change the way that we see things remove the scales from our eyes and give us a renewed mind Lord I pray that you would fill us with the Holy Spirit fill us with boldness and courage Lord help us to be believers who stop asking when will things turn around for my good but instead may we be a people who ask what do you want me to learn in this Lord during tough situations help us to remember that although

the afflictions of the righteous are many you're a God who delivers us out of them all so instead of speaking about the negative only give us a mind that thinks on those good things that are promised in the Bible give us a mind that holds on to your promises promises such as Psalm 34:1 17 which says the righteous cry out and the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles We Praise You Lord Jesus because in this fight you are in our corner you are fighting the battle for us I declare your promise

in Exodus 14:14 which says the Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent Lord Jesus you are all powerful and we can safely declare that he who is in me is greater than he who is in the world our hearts do safely trust in you and as we call out the name of Jesus to intervene we we ask for your intervention Lord Jesus because the Bible says in nahm 1:7 the Lord is good a stronghold in the day of trouble he knows those who take refuge in him you are indeed a

stronghold in the day of trouble and my prayer today with everyone listening is that your holy power would change our carnal mindsets I pray for everyone who's in the middle of a storm right now Lord would you let this storm become a testimony and a demonstration of your saving power Lord we declare that as sons and daughter of the most high we are Overcomers in you Lord we are more than conquerors our physical eyes might not see it yet but I pray you would open our spiritual eyes of Faith so that we can see your

hand leading us protecting us and shielding Us from Evil father I know that there is power in the blood of Jesus Christ enough power to remove every barrier and obstacle before us for that we praise you continue to work in our lives thank you for hearing this prayer amen the love of God God is divine true and everlasting the Bible even goes as far as stating that God is love in fact so great is the love of God that John 3:16 Says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that

whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life the love of our almighty god Jehovah is characterized by Grace forgiveness and mercy his Divine love is eternal and unconditional it's not a love that requires you to work for it because Jesus Christ did all the work on the cross it's not a love that you need to earn because what Jesus did on the cross was enough now I say this so that you may recognize the depth and magnitude of God's love over your life life it's a love that always protects you a love

that will provide for you A Love That Forgives you so I encourage you to praise the Lord for his consistency praise him for his steadfast love so deep is the love of the Lord that even when we are incapable of living consistently in a manner that is pleasing to him he is still loving Romans 5 verse 8 says but God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were still sinners Christ died for us think of that while we were sinners Christ died for us while you and I rejected him he loved us

while you and I turned our backs on the Lord he loved us in fact the Bible says in John 15 verse 11-13 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete my command is this love each other as I have loved you greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends and so dear listener you may have been abandoned by someone who you thought loved you but let me tell you that Jesus Christ will never abandon you you may

have been portrayed by someone who once said they loved you but Jesus Christ will never portray your trust friend you may have been rejected by someone who you expected to love you but let me tell you Jesus Christ will never reject you the Lord knows you he knows your name he knows the number of hairs on your head and he cares for you now with all that I have told you I want you to take my message with the correct context the love that God has for you is great indeed however this is no excuse

to continue living in sin of course God loves you and it's because of this great love that he wants you to repent God loves you and it's because of this love that he wants you to lean on on him for the strength and the grace to live righteously and so with this understanding let us pray you are our savior Lord Jesus and out of love you came to this Earth You Were crucified on a cross so that we can be saved I praise you for such a deep Supernatural love that I could never repay how

great Great Is Your Love God Almighty that you gave your only begotten son so that I should not perish but have everlasting life I did nothing to deserve this but yet you freely gave your son so that I should not perish your word that tells me in Jeremiah 1: 5 says before I formed you in the womb I knew you before you were born I set you apart may your name always be praised for such love I thank you for meeting my greatest need which is to be loved unconditionally you are a God who knows

all all that is done in the light in all deeds and thoughts in the darkness and regardless of knowing my most shameful secrets you still decided to offer me a perfect sacrificial everlasting love you decided to offer me grace and mercy in spite of my faults you decided to show me a powerful love though you know me inside out and I know where I fall short just as the Apostle Paul said in Romans 8: 38-39 I declare that I am convinced that neither death nor life neither angels nor demons neither the present nor the future

nor any powers neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ Our Lord I Thank you Lord for holding me together each and every day whenever I have needed you you have been there for me whenever I have called on your name you have heard My Cry I am grateful for all of the love mercy and Grace that has been and that is shown to me though I did not deserve it thank you for your faithfulness even through the

tough times of life to you alone Be The Glory in your presence is the safest place that we can be in and so together with everyone listening right now our prayer Lord is that your presence would cover us may you walk with us every day May the Holy Spirit help us to realize and understand the magnitude of your love and may we never take it for granted may we be convicted to live lives that honor you lives that hate sin and love righteousness thank you Lord Jesus you have loved us with an everlasting love you

have proven yourself to be always is faithful God we trust and hold on to your word that says in Zephaniah 3:1 17 the Lord your God is with you the mighty warrior who saves he will take great Delight in you in his love he will no longer rebuke you but will rejoice over you with singing you are worthy to be exalted and I uplift your name on high father thank you you for hearing this prayer all the glory be unto you in jesus' name I pray amen Hebrews 12: 2 reads looking unto Jesus the author

and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God we should always have our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ he's the only one worthy of our devotion he's the only one worthy of our worship Jesus Christ is the only one worthy of our praise and our adoration he's the only one who should be right at the center right at the top of our priorities and I want to encourage you today to pray pray

with more intensity have a deeper hunger for God I encourage you to seek and Chase the presence of God with an urgency in the Book of Matthew 16:4 then Jesus said to his disciples whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me now let me ask you do you you have the desire to follow Jesus Christ do you have a willingness to deny yourself of the temporary pleasures of this world I urge you to examine your heart and ask yourself am I willing to take up my cross

and follow Jesus now the cross was never meant to symbolize something easy or simple it symbolizes a place of pain a place of purging or affliction but it also symbolizes salvation and hope it symbolizes the love of Jesus and the power of his blood the cross is symbolic of a place where flesh dies where sin is defeated and Jesus Christ wins and so we need to be mindful of the words of Jesus deny yourself take up your cross and follow Jesus now Now 1 Timothy 4:8 says for bodily exercise profits a little but godliness is

profitable for all things having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come A True Believer of Jesus Christ will strive to live a Godly life but if you look at the world today godliness is not a priority for a lot of people godliness is not sought after by a lot of people today even in the church and you see the devil has clearly deceived a lot of people to believe one particular lie a lie that we can be righteous on our own the enemy wants us to believe that we

can operate independently the enemy has lied to People by telling them that they can live independently of God but this isn't true living in such a manner is called self righteousness in the Bible the Pharisees and Sadducees opposed Jesus Christ so fiercely because they thought they were righteous they were self-righteous they were righteous in their own eyes and Jesus was a problem to this group of people because he taught about repentance he taught about righteousness according to God's standard not man's standard and so every True Believer of Jesus Christ Christ strives to live a Godly

life a life according to the word of the Lord not their own personal standards now let me go further to clarify some of the Hallmarks of a True Believer a True Believer in Jesus Christ exercises practical faith meaning that they walk by faith and not by sight and Faith doesn't mean you ignore facts no faith means that you trust in God despite what the facts say A True Believer in Jesus Christ perseveres in prayer because prayer to a Christian is like blood to the body that's our Lifeline that's why the Bible tells us to pray

always and to pray without ceasing so now let us pray father your word in Matthew 21:22 says if you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer I thank you for such a promise a promise that you God Almighty the Eternal Father will answer our prayers if we ask and believe I'm thankful that you are an affectionate God a God who has an infinite wisdom and power I am grateful that in all your power and Glory you can still take the time to hear and listen to our prayers for this privilege I Will

Rejoice I thank you Lord Jesus for all that you do for the goodness and mercy that you've shown us as your children we thank you you're a God who is so good and so caring your word tells us that you have numbered the hairs on our heads because of your great love for us I thank you for loving us so strongly Lord I long to abide and dwell in your presence I desire to have close communion with you to be in close fellowship with you Lord because it's only in you that I can be revived

and refreshed in my soul Holy Spirit help me to always live a life that gives God all the glory and all the praise I pray that I will have a demeanor which is humble and thankful for all that you've done for me I know Lord Jesus that you work within my circumstances you work even within the troubles I face and you deliver me I Rejoice today because of you my father you are in absolute control of everything every aspect of my life is within your control so I choose choose to abide in you because that's

where I'm safe I'm secure in your presence there's nothing that takes place in my life that you my God have not allowed to happen Lord I find strength in the understanding that the most high God is working all things together for my good I submit to your will King Jesus I yield to all of your ways although I may not know each and every detail about what will happen tomorrow or even today I will trust you my king I will trust you with all my heart and I choose not to lean on my own understanding

I choose to reverence you and to acknowledge you father in all my ways you deserve all the glory you're a God who will make every crooked path straight and so I praise you the God of all creation a God who never sleeps nor Slumbers I will forever sing your praises and I'll adore your Holy Name Lord Jesus I Rejoice because you have removed the power of Sin from my life you have clothed me in your love and in your grace you are the alpha and omega the same yesterday today and forever father I thank you

for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus that I do pray and I give you thanks amen Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever and I believe this is an important scripture for every believer to remember because our Lord does not change the same Jesus who cast out Spirits with his word the same Jesus that healed all that were sick in the Bible thousands of years ago that same Jesus can still heal all today Matthew 14:35 and 36 says and when the men of that place recognized Jesus

they sent word to all the surrounding country people brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touched the edge of his cloak and all who touched it were healed you and I today can still touch the Hemm of His Garment through our faith we can still be made perfectly well because the word of God also says all things are possible all things whether you're Catholic Baptist charismatic or Evangelical whatever denomination you are God's word says All Things Are are possible it doesn't matter what science thinks it doesn't matter what

the most credible explanation is God can do the impossible even today his word does not lie his word is true and if it is in God's will to move in a supernatural way then may his will be done in Matthew 15:30 the Bible recorded that great crowds came to him bringing the lame the blind the crippled the mute and many others and laid them at his feet and he healed them the same Jesus who healed great multitudes he still heals today he still has power today the same Jesus who healed blind bardus and the woman

with the issue of blood he's still healing today so I encourage you to bow down surrender to the one and only son of God and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things for you even now lay down your requests at the feet of the father and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things and so as we prepare to go to God In Prayer bring your troubles bring your pain bring that heartache bring it All to Jesus he's able to heal your physical body he's able to heal your mind he's able to

heal your heart take the limits off and ask him to heal you everywhere you hurt dear heavenly father we come before you today seeking a touch from your Almighty hand we welcome you to do as you will father have your way in our lives for everyone who desires healing God we bow and submit to your will you are the king of kings and you're the Lord of lords father there's none like you there is no other healer besides you there is no better doctor than you your word says in Isaiah 53:5 but he was wounded

your will that I may not be healed yet then Lord I submit and accept that you will give me the grace to withstand Lord so long as you are with me as my shepherd as my guide then I know that even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for your rod and your staff Will Comfort me I pray that I may not be discouraged or afraid even if my healing doesn't come within my own timing father we choose to trust your timing above our own we choose

to have faith in your divine plan because our lives are in Your Loving Hands our future and our our health they're all in your hands and that's regardless of what Earthly doctors may say I'm always confident I'm always safe and taken care of because I know the greatest healer and that's you my lord so I will not Chase healing but instead I'll chase you Lord we won't Chase Miracles but instead we'll chase the one who performs Miracles and Lord that's you and because of the price you paid for us on the cross we know that

Spirit I pray that you would Minister to The Souls of each and every person listening be that still Small Voice that reminds us to constantly cling to Jesus Christ help us to keep our eyes on the Lord help us to keep our eyes on things above and not on things of the earth convict us holy spirit to continually keep our eyes on the Lord father give us an attitude whereby if all is well our eyes would still be on Jesus the Bible in Hebrews 12:2 says fixing our eyes on Jesus the Pioneer and perfector of

faith for the joy set before him he endured the cross scorning its shame and and sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God when we Face the obstacles of Life help us to keep our eyes fixed on Christ teach us holy spirit to continuously examine ourselves and evaluate what our focus is and where our eyes are fixed Lord Jesus I thank you for your goodness I look to you because you took my sins when you hung on the cross you redeemed me Lord you have saved and delivered me if it were not

for your wonderful sacrifice then where would I be if you never shed your precious blood then who could have saved me there is none like you King Jesus that's why my eyes will remain fixed on you you extended your loving arms to me and called me to repentance because of this I rejoice and I say all praise and honor be to the most high because I am saved Sanctified and Redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God there is no better time to praise you Lord than right now and so I

to the point where we start asking God questions questions like why is this happening to me or perhaps you asked a question like God how will this situation work out for my good the Bible in Romans 8 verse 28 says as we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are the called according to his purpose the thing about us as humans is that we always want to know all of the details we want to know how God will make a way where there's seems to be no

way we want to know how exactly God operates and why he allows certain things to happen now should you find yourself in a storm of difficulty may I remind you that Psalm 34 verse 19 says many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all however as humans we always want to know the details how exactly will the Lord Deliver Us however I would like to encourage you and tell you that God is Sovereign meaning that he possesses Supreme and ultimate power and because the Lord possesses all authority all

power and knowledge this means that our part is not to question God we are not to demand answers or feel as though we're on the same level with God that he has to explain himself that's not the case our part is to have faith that God means what he says and he says what he means if he says all things work together for my good then my part is not to ask how but it's simply to trust that God honors his word if the word of God tells me that many are the afflictions of the

righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all then my part is to hold on by faith to this promise with the eyes of Faith you can see the hand of God the goodness of God in every situation regardless of how painful through faith you begin to consider if you've been placed in that set of circumstances for a specific reason or for a specific purpose a purpose such as unlocking a stronger desire for prayer in your life a purpose such as Awakening a hunger for righteousness and Holiness like never before in your life or

perhaps the purpose of such a test is to expose the gifts and the calling that lays dormant inside of you too often because we're focusing on the negative we don't see the positive in that situation and we don't see what God is trying to do could it be that the reason for this difficulty is God wanting to Reve R to you how real he is perhaps this is a test where God wants to demonstrate himself to be your provider or perhaps the Lord wants to use this trial in your life to demonstrate his strength and

kindness to you and so dear friend whatever the purpose of this trial you're in I encourage you to do your part your part is to hold on in faith and look to Jesus now let us pray Lord God I bow down before you and acknowledge you to be the Great I Am father help us to trust you more give us Faith Without Borders give us the type of faith that can walk on water lord together with everyone listening we believe that you King Jesus Christ can still perform miracles on this Earth today you can still

make every crooked path straight you can still mend every broken heart and make it whole again Holy Spirit teaches how to change our perspectives help us to learn to walk by faith and not by sight open our spiritual eyes and change the way that we see things remove the scales from our our eyes and give us a renewed mind Lord I pray that you would fill us with the Holy Spirit fill us with boldness and courage Lord help us to be believers who stop asking when will things turn around for my good but instead may

we be a people who ask what do you want me to learn in this Lord during tough situations help us to remember that although the afflictions of the righteous are many you're a God who delivers us out of them all so instead of speaking about the negative only give us a mind that thinks on those good things that are promised in the Bible give us a mind that holds on to your promises promises such as Psalm 34:17 which says the righteous cry out out and the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles

We Praise You Lord Jesus because in this fight you are in our corner you are fighting the battle for us I declare your promise in Exodus 14:14 which says the Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent Lord Jesus you are all powerful and we can safely declare that he who is in me is greater than he who is in the world our hearts do safely trust in you and as we call out the name of Jesus to intervene we ask for your intervention Lord Jesus because the Bible says in nahem

1:7 the Lord is good a stronghold in the day of trouble he knows those who take refuge in him you are indeed a stronghold in the day of trouble and my prayer today with everyone listening is that your holy power would change our carnal mindsets I pray for everyone who's in the middle of a storm right now Lord would you let this storm become a testimony and a demonstration of your saving power Lord we declare that as sons and daughter of the most high we are Overcomers in you Lord we are more than conquerors our

physical eyes might not see it yet but I pray you would open our spiritual eyes of Faith so that we can see your hand leading us protecting us and shielding Us from Evil father I know that there is power in the blood of Jesus Christ enough power to remove every barrier and obstacle before us for that we praise you continue to work in our lives thank you for hearing this prayer amen the love of God is divine true and everlasting the Bible even goes as far as stating that God is love in fact so great

is the love of God that John 3 verse 16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life the love of our almighty god Jehovah is characterized by Grace forgiveness and mercy his Divine love is eternal and unconditional it's not a love that requires you to work for it because Jesus Jesus Christ did all the work on the cross it's not a love that you need to earn because what Jesus did on the cross was enough now I say

this so that you may recognize the depth and magnitude of God's love over your life it's a love that always protects you a love that will provide for you A Love That Forgives you so I encourage you to praise the Lord for his consistency praise him for his steadfast love so deep is the love of the Lord that even when we are incapable of living consistently in a manner that is pleasing to him he is still loving Romans 5:8 says but God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were still sinners Christ

died for us think of that while we were sinners Christ died for us while you and I rejected him he loved us while you and I turned our backs on the Lord he loved us in fact the Bible says in John chapter 15 verse 11-13 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete my command is this love each other as I have loved you greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends and so dear listener you may

have been abandoned by someone who you thought loved you but let me tell you that Jesus Christ will never abandon you you may have been betrayed by someone who once said they loved you but Jesus Christ will never portray your trust friend you may have been rejected by someone who you expected to love you but let me tell you Jesus Christ will never reject you the Lord knows you he knows your name he knows the number of hairs on your head and he cares for you now with all that I have told you I want

you to take my message with the correct context the love that God has for you is great great indeed however this is no excuse to continue living in sin of course God loves you and it's because of this great love that he wants you to repent God loves you and it's because of this love that he wants you to lean on him for the strength and the grace to live righteously and so with this understanding let us pray you are our savior Lord Jesus and out of love you came to this Earth You Were crucified

on a cross so that we can be saved I praise you for such a deep Supernatural love that I could never repay How Great Is Your Love God Almighty that you gave your only begotten son so that I should not perish but have everlasting life I did nothing to deserve this but yet you freely gave your son so that I should not perish your word that tells me in Jeremiah 1 verse 5 says before I formed you in the womb I knew you before you were born I set you apart may your name always be

praised for such love I thank you for meeting my greatest need which is to be loved unconditionally you are a God who knows all all that is done in the light and all deeds and thoughts in the darkness and regardless of knowing my most shameful secrets you still decided to offer me a perfect sacrificial everlasting love you decided to offer me grace and mercy in spite of my faults you decided to show me a powerful love though you know me inside out and I know where I fall short just as the Apostle Paul said in

Romans 8: 38-39 I declare that I am convinced that neither death nor life neither angels nor demons neither the present nor the future nor any powers neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ Our Lord I thank you Lord for holding me together each and every day whenever I have needed you you have been there for me whenever I have called on your name you have heard my cry I am grateful for all of the love mercy and

Grace that has been and that is shown to me though I did not deserve it thank you for your faithfulness even through the tough times of life to you alone Be The Glory in your presence is the safest place that we can be in and so together with everyone listening right now our prayer Lord is that your presence would cover us may you walk with us every day May the Holy Spirit help us to realize and understand the magnitude of your love and may we never take it for granted may we be convicted to live

lives that honor you lives that hate sin and love righteousness thank you Lord Jesus you have loved us with an everlasting love you have proven yourself to be always faithful God we trust and hold on to your word that says in Zephaniah 3: 17 the Lord your God is with you the mighty warrior who saves he will take great Delight in you in his love he will no longer rebuke you but will rejoice over you with singing you are worthy to be exalted and I uplift your name on high father thank you for hearing this

prayer all the glory be unto you in jesus' name I pray amen Hebrews 12 12: 2 reads looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God we should always have our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ he's the only one worthy of our devotion he's the only one worthy of our our worship Jesus Christ is the only one worthy of our praise and our adoration he's the only one

who should be right at the center right at the top of our priorities and I want to encourage you today to pray with more intensity have a deeper hunger for God I encourage you to seek and Chase the presence of God with an urgency in the Book of Matthew chapter 6 16:4 then Jesus said to his disciples whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me now let me ask you do you have the desire to follow Jesus Christ do you have a willingness to deny yourself of

the temporary pleasures of this world I urge you to examine your heart and ask yourself am I willing to take up my cross and follow Jesus now the cross was never meant to symbolize something easy or simple it symbolizes a place of pain a place of purging or Affliction but it also symbolizes salvation and hope it symbolizes the love of Jesus and the power of his blood the cross is symbolic of a place where flesh dies where sin is defeated and Jesus Christ wins and so we need to be mindful of the words of Jesus

deny yourself take up your cross and follow Jesus Now 1 Timothy 4:8 says for bodily exercise profits a little but godliness is profitable for all things having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come A True Believer of Jesus Christ will strive to live a Godly life but if you look at the world today godliness is not a priority for a lot of people godliness is not sought after by a lot of people today even in the church and you see the devil has clearly deceived a lot of people

to believe one particular lie a lie that we can be righteous on our own the enemy wants us to believe that we can operate independently the enemy has lied to People by telling them that they can live independently of God but this isn't true living in such a manner is called self-righteousness in the Bible the Pharisees and Sadducees opposed Jesus Christ so fiercely because they thought they were righteous they were self-righteous they were right righteous in their own eyes and Jesus was a problem to this group of people because he taught about repentance he taught

about righteousness according to God's standard not man's standard and so every True Believer of Jesus Christ strives to live a Godly life a life according to the word of the Lord not their own personal standards now let me go further to clarify some of the Hallmarks of a True Believer a True Believer in Jesus Christ exercises practical faith meaning that they walk by faith and not by sight and Faith doesn't mean you ignore facts no faith means that you trust in God despite what the facts say A True Believer in Jesus Christ perseveres in prayer

because prayer to a Christian is like blood to the body that's our Lifeline that's why the Bible tells us to pray always and to pray without ceasing so now let us pray father your word in Matthew 21:22 says if you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer I thank you for such a promise a promise that you God Almighty the Eternal Father will answer our prayers if we ask and believe I'm thankful that you are an affectionate God a God who has an infinite wisdom and power I am grateful that in all

your power and Glory you can still take the time to hear and listen to our prayers for this privilege I will rejoice I thank you Lord Jesus for all that you do for the goodness and mercy that you've shown us as your children we thank you you're a God who is so good and so caring your word tells us that you have numbered the hairs on our heads because of your great love for us I thank you for loving us so strongly Lord I long to abide and dwell in your presence I desire to have

close Comm communion with you to be in close fellowship with you Lord because it's only in you that I can be revived and refreshed in my soul Holy Spirit help me to always live a life that gives God all the glory and all the praise I pray that I will have a demeanor which is humble and thankful for all that you've done for me I know Lord Jesus that you work within my circumstances you work even within the trouble I face and you deliver me I Rejoice today because of you my father you are in

absolute control of everything every aspect of my life is within your control so I choose to abide in you because that's where I'm safe I'm secure in your presence there's nothing that takes place in my life that you my God have have not allowed to happen Lord I find strength in the understanding that the most high God is working all things together for my good I submit to your will King Jesus I yield to all of your ways although I may not know each and every detail about what will happen tomorrow or even today I

will trust you my king I will trust you with all my heart and I choose not to lean on my own understanding I choose to reverence you and to acknowledge you father in all my ways you deserve all the glory you're a God who will make every crooked path straight and so I praise you the God of all creation a God who never sleeps nor Slumbers I will forever sing your praises and I'll adore your holy Name Lord Jesus I Rejoice because you have removed the power of Sin from my life you have clothed me

in your love and in your grace you are the alpha and omega the same yesterday today and forever father I thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus that I do pray and I give you thanks amen Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever and I believe this is an important scripture for every believer to remember because our Lord does not change the same Jesus who cast out Spirits with his word the same Jesus that healed all that were sick in the Bible thousands of years

ago that same Jesus can still heal all today Matthew 14:35 and 36 says and when the men of that place recognize Jesus they sent word to all the surrounding country people brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touched the edge of his cloak and all who touched it were healed you and I today can still touch the Hemm of His Garment through Our Fate we can still be made perfect well because the word of God also says all things are possible all things whether you're Catholic Baptist charismatic or

Evangelical whatever denomination you are God's word says all things are possible it doesn't matter what science thinks it doesn't matter what the most credible explanation is God can do the impossible even today his word does not lie his word is true and if it is in God's will to move in a supernatural way then may his will be done in Matthew 15:30 the Bible recorded that great crowds came to him bringing the lame the blind the crippled the mute and many others and laid them at his feet and he healed them the same Jesus who

healed great multitudes he still heals today he still has power today the same Jesus who healed blind bardus and the woman with the issue of blood he's still healing today so I encourage you to bow down surrender to the one and only son of God and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things for you even now lay down your requests at the feet of the father and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things and so as we prepare to go to God In Prayer bring your troubles bring your pain bring that

heartache bring it all to Jesus he's able to heal your physical body he's able to heal your mind he's able to heal your heart take the limits off and ask him to heal you everywhere you hurt dear heavenly father we come before you today seeking a touch from your Almighty hand we welcome you to do as you will father have your way in our lives for everyone who desires healing God we bow and submit to your will you are the king of kings and you're the Lord of lords father there's none like you there is

no other healer besides you there is no better doctor than you your word says in Isaiah 53:5 but he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed we pray and declare this word Lord by your stripes we are healed not because I say so but because your word says so and because it is written in your word Lord we have faith that it can happen if it's in your will that it should happen father we understand that you

know what's best for us and you'll never give us something that we cannot handle or overcome with you if it is your will that I may not be healed yet then Lord I submit and accept that you will give me the grace to withstand Lord so long as you are with me as my shepherd as my guide then I know that even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for your rod and your staff Will Comfort me I pray that I may not be discouraged or afraid

even if my healing doesn't come within my own timing father we choose to trust your timing above our own we choose to have faith in your divine plan because our lives are in Your Loving Hands our future and our health they're all in your hands and that's regardless of what Earthly doctors may say I'm always confident I'm always safe and taken care of because I know the greatest he healer and that's you my lord so I will not Chase healing but instead I'll chase you Lord we won't Chase Miracles but instead we'll chase the one

who performs Miracles and Lord that's you and because of the price you paid for us on the cross we know that we can always count on you King Jesus you'll be there in our lives even during the time when it doesn't seem like you're there we know that you're there because your word says that you're the same yesterday today and forever we know that we can always depend on your character to never change I can always depend on your love to see me through to never decrease I depend on you in all things at all

times and in all ways though the world changes though circumstances change though people change and even me as a person I change but you Lord Jesus you never change you were a Healer many years ago and you are a Healer today you were a miracle worker many years ago and you are a miracle worker today we know that we can always count on you father Lord we thank you for hearing this prayer we receive healing in your presence we receive Restoration in your presence we are made whole again in your presence we bless your holy

name amen and now dear ones I'd like to share some scriptures with you to meditate on concerning your healing Psalm 147:3 he heal heals the Brokenhearted and binds up their wounds Matthew 4: 23-25 and Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people then his Fame went throughout all Syria and they brought to him all sick people who were Afflicted with various diseases and torments and those who were demon-possessed epileptics and paralytics and he healed them

great multitudes followed him From Galilee and from decapolis Jerusalem Judea and Beyond the Jordan Mark 16: 15-18 and he said to them go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he who believes and is baptized will be saved but he who does not believe will be condemned and these signs will follow those who believe in my name they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues they will take up serpents and if they drink anything deadly it will by no means hurt them they will lay hands on the sick

and they will recover Mark 9:23 says Jesus said to him if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes James 5: 14 and 15 is anyone among you sick let him call for the Elders of the church and let them pray over him anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up and and if he has committed sins he will be forgiven Luke 17: 12-19 then as he entered a certain Village there met him 10 men

who were lepers who stood a far off and they lifted up their voices and said Jesus Master have mercy on us so when he saw them he said to them go show yourselves to the priest and so it was that as they went they were cleansed and one of them when he saw that he was healed returned and with a loud voice glorified God and fell down on his face at his feet giving him thanks and he was a Samaritan so Jesus answered and said were there not 10 cleansed but were are the nine were

there not any who returned to give glory to God except this Foreigner and he said to him arise go your way your faith has made you well Mark 10: 46-52 now they came to Jericho as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude blind bardus the son of tus Sat by the road begging and when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began to cry out and say Jesus Son of David have mercy on me then many warned him to be quiet but he cried out all the more son

of David have mercy on me so Jesus Stood Still and commanded him to be called then they called the blind man saying to him be of good cheer rise he is calling you and throwing aside His Garment he rose and came to Jesus so Jesus answered and said to him what do you want me to do for you the blind man said to him raboni that I may receive my sight then Jesus said to him go your way your faith has made you well and immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road

acts 10 verse 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him and even today dear listeners God is with you meditate on his word believe in his word have faith in his power and then say father thy will be done dear God Almighty we bow down to you and say you are Great and Mighty to be praised I pray that the Holy Spirit would help each of us to keep our eyes fixed

no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends and so dear listener you may have been abandoned by someone who you thought loved you but let me tell you that Jesus Christ will never abandon you you may have been portrayed by someone who once said they loved you but Jesus Christ will never portray your trust friend you may have been rejected by someone who you expected to love you but let me tell you Jesus Christ will never reject you the Lord knows you he knows your name he knows the number of hairs

on your head and he cares for you now with all that I have told you I want you to take my message with the correct context the love that God has for you is great indeed however this is no excuse to continue living in sin of course God loves you and it's because of this great love that he wants you to repent God loves you and his because of this love that he wants you to lean on him for the strength and the grace to live righteously and so with this understanding let us pray you

are our savior Lord Jesus and out of love you came to this Earth You Were crucified on a cross so that we can be saved I praise you for such a deep Supernatural love that I could never repay How Great Is Your Love God Almighty that you gave your only begotten son so that I should not perish but have everlasting life I did nothing to deserve this but yet you freely gave your son so that I should not perish your word that tells me in Jeremiah 1 verse 5 says before I formed you in the

womb I knew you before you were born I set you apart may your name always be praised for such love I thank you for meeting my greatest need which is to be loved unconditionally you are a God who knows all all that is done in the light and all deeds and thoughts in the darkness and regardless of knowing my most shameful secrets you still decided to offer me a perfect sacri R official everlasting love you decided to offer me grace and mercy in spite of my faults you decided to show me a powerful love though

you know me inside out and I know where I fall short just as the Apostle Paul said in Romans 8: 38-39 I declare that I am convinced that neither death nor life neither angels nor demons neither the present nor the future nor any powers neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ Our Lord I Thank you Lord for holding me together each and every day whenever I have needed you you have been there for me whenever I have

called on your name you have heard my cry I am grateful for all of the love mercy and Grace that has been and that is shown to me though I did not deserve it thank you for your faithfulness even through the tough times of life to you alone Be The Glory in your presence is the safest place that we can be in and so together with everyone listening right now I our prayer Lord is that your presence would cover us may you walk with us every day May the Holy Spirit help us to realize and

understand the magnitude of your love and may we never take it for granted may we be convicted to live lives that honor you lives that hate sin and love righteousness thank you Lord Jesus you have loved us with an everlasting love you have proven yourself to be always faithful God we trust and hold on to your word that says in Zephaniah 3:1 17 the Lord your God is with you the mighty warrior who saves he will take great Delight in you in his love he will no longer rebuke you but will rejoice over you with

singing you are worthy to be exalted and I uplift your name on high father thank you for hearing this prayer all the glory be unto you in jesus' name I pray amen Hebrews 12 verse 2 reads looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God we should always have our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ he's the only one worthy of our devotion he's the only one worthy of

our worship Jesus Christ is the only one worthy of our praise and our adoration he's the only one who should be right at the center right at the top of our priorities and I want to encourage you today to pray with more intensity have a deeper hunger for God I encourage you to seek and Chase the presence of God with an urgency in the Book of Matthew chapter 16: 24 then Jesus said to his disciples whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me now let me ask

you do you have the desire to follow Jesus Christ do you have a willingness to deny yourself of the temporary pleasures of this world I urge you to examine your heart and ask yourself am I willing to take up my cross and follow Jesus now the cross was never meant to symbolize something easy or simple it symbolizes a place of pain a place of purging or Affliction but it also symbolizes salvation and hope it symbolizes the love of Jesus and the power of his blood the cross is symbolic of a place where flesh dies where

sin is defeated and Jesus Christ wins and so we need to be mindful of the words of Jesus deny yourself take up your cross and follow Jesus Now 1 Timothy 4:8 says for bodily exercise profits a little but godliness is profitable for all things having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come A True Believer of Jesus Christ will strive to live a Godly life but if you look at the world today godliness is not a priority for a lot of people godliness is not sought after by a lot

of people today even in the church and you see the devil has clearly deceived a lot of people to believe one particular lie a lie that we can be righteous on our own the enemy wants us to believe that we can operate independently the enemy has lied to People by telling them that they can live independently of God but this isn't true living in such a manner is called self-righteousness in the Bible the Pharisees and Sadducees opposed Jesus Christ so fiercely because they thought they were righteous they were self-righteous they were righteous in their own

eyes and Jesus was a problem to this group of people because he taught about repentance he taught about righteousness according to God's standard not man's standard and so every True Believer of Jesus Christ strives to live a Godly life a life according to the word of the Lord not their own personal standards now let me go further to clarify some of the Hallmarks of a True Believer a True Believer in Jesus Christ exercises practical faith meaning that they walk by faith and not by sight and Faith doesn't mean you ignore facts no faith means that

you trust in God despite what the facts say A True Believer in Jesus Christ perseveres in prayer because prayer to a Christian is like blood to the body that's our Lifeline that's why the Bible tells us to pray always and to pray without ceasing so now let us pray father your word in Matthew 21:22 says if you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer I thank you for such a promise a promise that you God Almighty the Eternal Father will answer our prayers if we ask and believe I'm thankful that you are

an affectionate God a God who has an infinite wisdom and power I am grateful that in all your power and Glory you can still take the time to hear and listen to our prayers for this privilege I Will Rejoice I thank you Lord Jesus for all that you do for the goodness and mercy that you've shown us as your children we thank you you're a God who is so good and so caring your word tells us that you have numbered the hairs on our heads because of your great love for us I thank you for

loving us so strongly Lord I long to abide and dwell in your presence I desire to have close communion with you to be in close fellowship with you Lord because it's only in you that I can be revived and refreshed in my soul Holy Spirit help me to always live a life that gives God all the glory and all the praise I pray that I will have a demeanor which is humble and thankful for all that you've done for me I know Lord Jesus that you work within my circumstances you work even within the troubles

I face and you deliver me I Rejoice today because of you my father you are in absolute control of everything every aspect of my life is within your control so I choose to abide in you because that's where I'm safe I'm secure in your presence there's nothing that takes place in my life that you my God have not allowed to happen Lord I find strength in the understanding that the most high God is working all things together for my good I submit to your will King Jesus I yield to all of your ways although I

may not know each and every detail about what will happen tomorrow or even today I will trust you my king I will trust you with all my heart and I choose not to lean on my own understanding I choose to reverence you and to acknowledge you father in all my ways you deserve all the glory you're a God who will make every crooked path straight and so I praise you the God of all creation a God who never sleeps nor Slumbers I will forever sing your praises and I'll adore your Holy Name Lord Jesus I

Rejoice because you have removed the power of Sin from my life you have clothed me in your love and in your grace you are the alpha and Omega the same yesterday today and forever father I thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus that I do pray and I give you thanks amen Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever and I believe this is an important scripture for every believer to remember because our Lord does not change the same Jesus who cast out Spirits with his

word the same Jesus that healed all that were sick in the Bible thousands of years ago that same Jesus can still heal all today Matthew 14:35 and 36 says and when the men of that place recognized Jesus they sent word to all the surrounding country people brought all all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak and all who touched it were healed you and I today can still touch the hym of His Garment through our faith we can still be made perfectly well because the

word of God also says all things are possible all things whether you're Catholic Baptist charismatic or Evangelical whatever denomination you are God's word says all things are possible it doesn't matter what science thinks it doesn't matter what the most credible explanation is God can do the impossible even today his word does not lie his word is true and if it is in God's will to move in a supernatural way then may his will be done in Matthew 15:30 the Bible recorded that great crowds came to him bringing the lame the blind the crippled the mute

and many others and laid them at his feet and he healed them the same Jesus who healed great multitudes he still heals today he still has power today the same Jesus who healed blind bmus and the woman with the issue of blood he's still healing today so so I encourage you to bow down surrender to the one and only son of God and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things for you even now lay down your requests at the feet of the father and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things and

so as we prepare to go to God In Prayer bring your troubles bring your pain bring that heartache bring it all to Jesus he's able to heal your physical body he's able to heal your mind he's able to heal your heart take the limits off and ask him to heal you everywhere you hurt dear heavenly father we come before you today seeking a touch from your Almighty hand we welcome you to do as you will father have your way in our lives for everyone who desires healing God we bow and submit to your will you

are the king of kings and you're the Lord of lords father there's none like you there is no other healer besides you there is no better doctor than you your word says in Isaiah 53:5 but he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed we pray and declare this word Lord by your stripes we are healed not because I say so but because your word says so and because it is written in your word Lord we have faith

that it can happen if it's in your will that it should happen father we understand that you know what's best for us and you'll never give us something that we cannot handle or overcome with you if it is your will that I may not be healed yet then Lord I submit and accept that you will give me the grace to withstand Lord so long as you are with me as my Shepherd as my guide then I know that even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for

your rod and your staff Will Comfort me I pray that I may not be discouraged or afraid even if my healing doesn't come within my own timing father we choose to trust your timing above our own we choose to have faith in your divine plan because our lives are are in Your Loving Hands our future and our health they're all in your hands and that's regardless of what Earthly doctors may say I'm always confident I'm always safe and taken care of because I know the greatest healer and that's you my lord so I will not

Chase healing but instead I'll chase you Lord we won't Chase Miracles but in instead we'll chase the one who performs Miracles and Lord that's you and because of the price you paid for us on the cross we know that we can always count on you King Jesus you'll be there in our lives even during the times when it doesn't seem like you're there we know that you're there because your word says that you're the same yesterday today and forever we know that we can always depend on your character to never change I can always depend

on your love to see me through to never decrease I depend on you in all things at all times and in all ways though the world changes though circumstances change though people change and even me as a person I change but you Lord Jesus you never change you were a Healer many years ago and you are a Healer today you were a miracle worker many years ago and you are a miracle worker today we know that we can always count on you father Lord we thank you for hearing this prayer we receive healing in your

presence we receive Restoration in your presence we are made whole again in your your presence we bless your holy name amen and now dear ones I'd like to share some scriptures with you to meditate on concerning your healing Psalm 147:3 he heals the Brokenhearted and binds up their wounds Matthew 4: 23- 25 and Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people then his Fame went throughout all Syria and they brought to him all sick people

who were Afflicted with various diseases and torments and those who were demon-possessed epileptics and paralytics and he healed them great multitudes followed him From Galilee and and from decapolis Jerusalem Judea and Beyond the Jordan Mark 16 veres 15-8 and he said to them go into all the world and preach the gospel to Every Creature he who believes and is baptized will be saved but he who does not believe will be condemned and these signs will follow those who believe in my name they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues they will take

up serpents and if they drink anything deadly it will by no means hurt them they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover Mark 9:23 says Jesus said to him if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes James 5 verse 14 and 15 is anyone among you sick let him call for the Elders of the church and let them pray over him anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up and if he

has committed sins he will be forgiven Luke 17: 12-9 then as he entered a certain Village there met him 10 men who were lepers who stood AAR off and they lifted up their voices and said Jesus Master have mercy on us so when he saw them he said to them go show yourselves to the priest and so it was that as they went they were cleansed and one of them when he saw that he was healed returned and with a loud voice glorified God and fell down on his feet face at his feet giving him

thanks and he was a Samaritan so Jesus answered and said were there not 10 cleansed but where are the nine were there not any who return to give glory to God except this Foreigner and he said to him arise go your way your fate has made you well Mark 10: 46-52 [Music] now they came to Jericho as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude blind bmus the son of tus Sat by the road begging and when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began to cry out and say

Jesus Son of David have mercy on me then many warned him to be quiet but he cried out all the more son of David have mercy on me so Jesus Stood Still and commanded him to be called then they called the blind man saying to him be of good cheer rise he is calling you and throwing aside His Garment he rose and came to Jesus so Jesus answered and said to him what do you want me to do for you the blind man said to him raboni that I may receive leave my sight then Jesus

said to him go your way your faith has made you well and immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road acts 10 verse 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him and even today dear listeners God is with you meditate on his word believe in his word have faith in his power and then say father thy will be done dear God Almighty we bow down to you and say

you are Great and Mighty to be praised I pray that that the Holy Spirit would help each of us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus help us to be firm and consistently focused on God's word above the opinions of man above what our natural eyes can see King Jesus help us not to be swayed and distracted by this world or by the obstacles presented to us in this world but Lord I pray that you would give us hearts that are committed to you your word tells us that the eyes of the Lord move to

and fro throughout the Earth so that he may support those whose heart is completely his father we declare that our hearts are fully confident in you our Hearts fully trust you master and we pray that the holy spirit will help us to be disciplined and not to let our eyes wander or gaze at anything sinful father your word in Psalm 16:8 says I know the Lord is always with me I will not be shaken for he is right beside me King Jesus so long as you are by my side then I cannot be shaken so

we pray that you would take the lead Master have your way I pray for the strength to continue fighting my carnal desire to take matters into my own hands instead I submit to you and will keep my eyes always on Jesus Holy Spirit I pray that you would Minister to The Souls of each and every person listening be that still Small Voice that reminds us to constantly cling to Jesus Christ help us to keep our eyes on the Lord help us to keep our eyes on things above and not on things of the earth convict

us holy spirit to continually keep our eyes on the Lord father give us an attitude whereby if all as well our eyes would still be on Jesus the Bible in Hebrews 12: 2 says fixing our eyes on Jesus the Pioneer and perfector of faith for the joy set before him he endured the cross scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God when we Face the obstacles of Life help us to keep our eyes fixed on Christ teach us holy spirit to continuously examine ourselves and evaluate what our focus

is and where our eyes are fixed Lord Jesus I thank you for your goodness I look to you because you took my sins when you hung on the cross you redeemed me Lord you have saved and delivered me if it were not for your wonderful sacrifice then where would I be if you never shed your precious blood then who could have saved me there is none like you King Jesus that's why my eyes will remain fixed on you you extended your loving arms to me and called me to repentance because of this I rejoice and

I say all praise and honor be to the most high because I am saved Sanctified and Redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God there is no better time to praise you Lord than right now and so I Rejoice today I sing your praises today because if it wasn't for Jehova Gyra who would provide for me if it wasn't for El Shai God Almighty who would save me if it wasn't for the lion of the tribe of Judah who would be my protector I Praise You Lord You Are Holy and worthy

of my adoration thank you for listening to my prayer in jesus' name I pray [Music] amen I am sure that each of us as we've gone through certain things in life as we faced various storms and difficulties in life we have all gotten to the point where we start asking God questions questions like why is this happening to me or perhaps you've asked a question like God how will this situation work out for my good the Bible in Romans 8: 28 says as we know that all things work together for good to them that love

God to them who are the called according to his purpose the thing about us as humans is that we always want to know all of the details we want to know how God will make a way where there seems to be no way we want to know how exactly God operates in why he allows certain things to happen now should you find yourself in a storm of difficulty may I remind you that Psalm 34: 19 says many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all however as humans we

always want to know the details how exactly will the Lord Deliver Us however I would like to encourage you and tell you that God is Sovereign meaning that he possesses Supreme and ultimate power and because the Lord possesses all authority all power and knowledge this means that our part is not to question God we are not to demand answers or feel as though we're on the same level with God that he has to explain himself that's not the case our part is to have faith that God means what he says and he says what he

means if he says all things work together for my good then my part is not to ask how but it's simply to trust that God honors his word if the word of God tells me that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out out of them all then my part is to Hold On by faith to this promise with the eyes of Faith you can see the hand of God the goodness of God in every situation regardless of how painful through faith you begin to consider if you've been placed in

that set of circumstances for a specific reason or for a specific purpose a purpose such as unlocking a stronger desire for prayer in your life a purpose such as Awakening a hunger for righteousness and Holiness like never before in your life or perhaps the purpose of such a test is to expose the gifts and the calling that lays dormant inside of you too often because we're focusing on the negative we don't see the positive in that situation and we don't see what God is trying to do could it be that the reason for this difficulty

is God wanting to reveal to you how real he is perhaps this is a test where God wants to demonstrate himself to be your provider or perhaps the Lord wants to use this trial in your life to demonstrate his strength and kindness to you and so dear friend whatever the purpose of this trial you're in I encourage you to do your part part your part is to hold on in faith and look to Jesus now let us pray Lord God I bow down before you and acknowledge you to be the Great I Am father help

us to trust you more give us Faith Without Borders give us the type of faith that can walk on water lord together with everyone listening we believe that you King Jesus Christ can still perform miracles on this Earth today you can still make every crooked path straight you can still mend every broken heart and make it whole again Holy Spirit teach us how to change our perspectives help us to learn to walk by faith and not by sight open our spiritual eyes and change the way that we see see things remove the scales from our

eyes and give us a renewed mind Lord I pray that you would fill us with the Holy Spirit fill us with boldness and courage Lord help us to be believers who stop asking when will things turn around for my good but instead may we be a people who ask what do you want me to learn in this yes Lord during tough situations help us to remember that although the afflictions of the righteous are many you're a God who delivers us out of them all so instead of speaking about the negative only give us a mind

that thinks on those good things that are promised in the Bible give us a mind that holds on to your promises promises such as Psalm 34:1 17 which says the righteous cry out and the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles We Praise You Lord Jesus because in this fight you are in our corner you are fighting the battle for us I declare your promise in Exodus 14:14 which says the Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent Lord Jes Jesus you are all powerful and we can safely

declare that he who is in me is greater than he who is in the world our hearts do safely trust in you and as we call out the name of Jesus to intervene we ask for your intervention Lord Jesus because the Bible says in nahem 1: 7 the Lord is good a stronghold in the day day of trouble he knows those who take refuge in him you are indeed a stronghold in the day of trouble and my prayer today with everyone listening is that your holy power would change our carnal mindsets I pray for everyone

who's in the middle of a storm right now Lord would you let this storm become a testimony and a demonstration of your saving power Lord we declare that as sons and daughter of the most high we are Overcomers in you Lord we are more than conquerors our physical eyes might not see it yet but I pray you would open our spiritual eyes of Faith so that we can see your hand leading us protecting us and shielding Us from Evil father I know that there is power in the blood of Jesus Christ enough power to remove

every barrier and obstacle before us for that we praise you continue to work in our lives thank you for hearing this prayer amen the love of God is divine true and everlasting the Bible even goes as far as stating that God is love in fact so great is the love of God that John 3:16 Says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life the love of our almighty god Jehovah is characterized by Grace forgiveness and mercy his Divine love

is eternal and unconditional it's not a love that requires you to work for it because Jesus Christ did all the work on the cross it's not a love that you need to earn because what Jesus did on the cross was enough now I say this so that you may recognize the depth and magnitude of God's love over your life it's a love that always protects you a love that will provide for you A Love That Forgives you so I encage encourage you to praise the Lord for his consistency praise him for his steadfast love so

deep is the love of the Lord that even when we are incapable of living consistently in a manner that is pleasing to him he is still loving Romans 5:8 says but God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were still sinners Christ died for us think of that while we were sinners Christ died for us while you and I rejected him he loved us while you and I turned our backs on the Lord he loved us in fact the Bible says in John 15: 11-13 I have told you this so that my

joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete my command is this love each other as I have loved you greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends and so dear listener you may have been abandoned by someone who you thought loved you but let me tell you that Jesus Christ will never abandon you you may have been portrayed by someone who once said they loved you but Jesus Christ will never never portray your trust friend you may have been rejected by someone who you expected

to love you but let me tell you Jesus Christ will never reject you the Lord knows you he knows your name he knows the number of hairs on your head and he cares for you now with all that I have told you I want you to take my message with the correct context the the love that God has for you is great indeed however this is no excuse to continue living in sin of course God loves you and it's because of this great love that he wants you to repent God loves you and it's because

of this love that he wants you to lean on him for the strength and the grace to live righteously and so with this understanding let us pray you are our savior Lord Jesus and out of love you came to this Earth You Were crucified on a cross so that we can be saved I praise you for such a deep Supernatural love that I could never repay How Great Is Your Love God Almighty that you gave your only begotten son so that I should not perish but have everlasting life I did nothing to deserve this but

yet you freely gave your son so that I should not perish your word that tells me in Jeremiah 1: 5 says before I formed you in the womb I knew you before you were born I set you apart may your name always be praised for such love I thank you for meeting my greatest need which is to be loved unconditionally Al you are a God who knows all all that is done in the light and all deeds and thoughts in the darkness and regardless of knowing my most shameful secrets you still decided to offer me

a perfect sacrificial everlasting love you decided to offer me grace and mercy in spite of my faults you decided to show me a powerful love though you know me inside out and I know where I fall short just as the Apostle Paul said in Romans 8 verse 38-39 I declare that I am convinced that neither death nor life neither angels nor demons neither the present nor the future nor any powers neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ

Our Lord I Thank you Lord for holding me together each and every day whenever I have needed you you have been there for me whenever I have called on your name you have heard my cry I am grateful for all of the love mercy and Grace that has been and that is shown to me though I did not deserve it thank you than you for your faithfulness even through the tough times of life to you alone Be The Glory in your presence is the safest place that we can be in and so together with everyone

so I praise you the God of all creation a God who never sleeps nor Slumbers I will forever sing your praises and I'll adore your Holy Name Lord Jesus I Rejoice because you have removed the power of Sin from my life you have clothed me in your love and in your grace you are the alpha and omega the same yesterday today and forever father I thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus that I do pray pray and I give you thanks amen Hebrews chapter 13 verse 8 says Jesus Christ

is the same yesterday today and forever and I believe this is an important scripture for every believer to remember because our Lord does not change the same Jesus who cast out Spirits with his word the same Jesus that healed all that were sick in the Bible thousands of years ago that same Jesus can still heal all today Matthew 14:35 and 36 says and when the men of that place recognized Jesus they sent word to all the surrounding country people brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge

of his cloak and all who touched it were healed you and I today can still touch the Hemm of His Garment through our faith we can still be made perfectly well because the word of God also says all things are possible all things whether you're Catholic Baptist charismatic or Evangelical whatever denomination you are God's word says all things are possible it doesn't matter what science thinks it doesn't matter what the most credible explanation is God can do the impossible even today his word does not lie his word is true and if it is in God's

will to move in a supernal way then may his will be done in Matthew 15:30 the Bible recorded that great crowds came to him bringing the lame the blind the crippled the mute and many others and laid them at his feet and he healed them the same Jesus who he healed great multitudes he still heals today he still has power today the same Jesus who healed blind bardus and the woman with the issue of blood he's still healing today so I encourage you to bow down surrender to the one and only son of God and

believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things for you even now lay down your requests at the feet of the father and believe that he can do wonderful and miraculous things and so as we prepare to go to God In Prayer bring your troubles bring your pain bring that heartache bring it all to Jesus he's able to heal your physical body he's able to heal your mind he's able to heal your heart take the limits off and ask him to heal you everywhere you hurt dear heavenly father we come before you today seeking a

touch from your Almighty hand we welcome you to do as you will father have your way in our lives for everyone who desires healing God we bow and submit to your will you are the king of kings and you're the Lord of lords father there's none like you there is no other healer besides you there is no better doctor than you your word says in Isaiah 53:5 but he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed we pray

and declare this word Lord by your stripes we are healed not because I say so but because your word says so and because it is written in your word Lord we have faith that it can happen if it's in your will that it should happen father we understand that you know what's best for us and you'll never give us something that we cannot handle or overcome with you if it is your will that I may not be healed yet then Lord I submit and accept that you will give me the grace to withstand Lord so

long as you are with me as my shepherd as my guide then I know that even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for your rod and your staff Will Comfort me I pray that I may not be discouraged Ed or afraid even if my healing doesn't come within my own timing father we choose to trust your timing above our own we choose to have faith in your divine plan because our lives are in Your Loving Hands our future and our health they're all in your hands

and that's regardless of what Earthly doctors may say I'm always confident I'm always safe and taken care of because I know the greatest healer and that's you my lord so I will not Chase healing but instead I'll chase you Lord we won't Chase Miracles but instead we'll chase the one who performs Miracles and Lord that's you and because of the price you paid for us on the cross we know that we can always count on you King Jesus you be there in our lives even during the times when it doesn't seem like you're there we

know that you're there because your word says that you're the same yesterday today and forever we know that we can always depend on your character to never change I can always depend on your love to see me through to never decrease I depend on you in all things at all times and in all ways though the world changes though circumstances change though people change and even me as a person I change but you Lord Jesus you never change you were a Healer many years ago and you are a Healer today you were a miracle worker

many years ago and you are a miracle worker today we know that we can always count on you father Lord we thank you for hearing this prayer we receive healing in your presence we receive Restoration in your presence we are made whole again in your presence we bless your holy name amen and now dear ones I'd like to share some scriptures with you to meditate on concerning your healing Psalm 147:3 he heals the Brokenhearted and binds up their wounds Matthew 4: 23-2 and Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues preaching the gospel of

the kingdom and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people then his Fame went throughout all Syria and they brought to him all sick people who were Afflicted with various diseases and torments and those who were demon-possessed epileptics and paralytics and he healed them great multitudes followed him From Galilee and from decapolis Jerusalem Judea and Beyond the Jordan Mark 16 veres 15-8 and he said to them go into all the world and preach the gospel to Every Creature he who believes and is baptized will be saved but he who does

not believe will be condemned and these signs will follow those who believe in my name they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues they will take up serpents and if they drink anything deadly it will by no means hurt them they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover Mark 9:23 says Jesus said to him if you can believe all things are possible to him who believes James 5 verses 14 and 15 is anyone among you sick let him call for the Elders of the church and let them pray over

him anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up and if he has committed sins he will be forgiven Luke 17: 12-9 then as he entered a certain Village there met him 10 men who were lepers who stood AAR off and they lifted up their voices and said Jesus Master have mercy on us so when he saw them he said to them go show yourself to the priest and so it was that as they went they were cleansed and

one of them when he saw that he was healed returned and with a loud voice glorified God and fell down on his face at his feet giving him thanks and he was a Samaritan so Jesus answered and said were there not 10 cleansed but where are the nine were there not any who turn to give glory to God except this Foreigner and he said to him arise go your way your faith has made you well Mark 10: 46-52 now they came to Jericho as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude

blind bardus the son of tus Sat by the road begging and when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began to cry out and say Jesus Son of David have mercy on me then many warned him to be quiet but he cried out all the more son of David have mercy on me so Jesus Stood Still and commanded him to be called then they called the blind man saying to him be of good cheer rise he is calling you and throwing aside His Garment he rose and came to Jesus so Jesus answered and

said to him what do you want me to do for you the blind man said to him raboni that I may receive my sight then Jesus said to him go your way your faith has made you well and immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road acts 10: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him and even today dear listeners God is with you meditate on his word believe

in his word have faith in his power and then say father thy will be [Music] done dear God Almighty we bow down to you and say you are Great and Mighty to be praised I pray that the Holy Spirit would help each of us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus help us to be firm and consistently focused on God's word above the opinions of man above what our natural eyes can see King Jesus help us not to be swayed and distracted by this world or by the obstacles presented to us in this world but

Lord I pray that you would give us hearts that are committed to you your word tells us that the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the Earth so that he may support those whose heart is completely his father we declare that our hearts are fully confident in you our hearts fully trust you master and we pray that the holy spirit will help us to be disciplined and not to let our eyes wander or gaze at anything simp ful father your word in Psalm 16:8 says I know the Lord is always with me

I will not be shaken for he is right beside me King Jesus so long as you are by my side then I cannot be shaken so we pray that you would take the lead Master have your way I pray for the strength to continue fighting my carnal desire to take matters into my own hands instead I submit to you and will keep my eyes always on Jesus Holy Spirit I pray that you would Minister to The Souls of each and every person listening be that still Small Voice that reminds us to constantly cling to Jesus

Christ help us to keep our eyes on the Lord help us to keep our eyes on things above and not on things of the earth convict us holy spirit to continually keep our eyes on the Lord father give us an attitude whereby if all is well our eyes would still be on Jesus the Bible in Hebrews 12:2 says fixing our eyes on Jesus the Pioneer and perfector of faith for the joy set before him he endured the cross scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God when we Face

the obstacles of Life help us to keep our eyes fixed on Christ teach us holy spirit to continuously examine ourselves and evaluate what our focus is and where our eyes are fixed Lord Jesus I thank you for your goodness I look to you because you took my sins when you hung on the cross you redeemed me Lord you have saved and delivered me if it were not for your wonderful sacrifice then where would I be if you never shed your precious blood then who could have saved me there is none like you King Jesus that's

why my eyes will remain fixed on you you extended your loving arms to me and called me to repentance because of this I rejoice and I say all praise prise and honor be to the most high because I am saved Sanctified and Redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God there is no better time to praise you Lord than right now and so I Rejoice today I sing your praises today because if it wasn't for Jehovah Gyra who would provide for me if it wasn't for El Shai God Almighty who would

save me if it wasn't for the lion of the tribe of Judah who would be my protector I Praise You Lord You Are Holy and worthy of my adoration thank you for listening to my prayer in jesus' name I pray amen I am sure that each of us as we've gone through certain things in life as we faced various storms and difficulties in life we have all gotten to the point where we start asking God questions questions like why is this happening to me or perhaps you've asked a question like God how will this situation

work out for my good the Bible in Romans 8: 28 says as we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are the called according to his purpose the thing about us as humans is that we always want to know all of the details we want to know how God will make a way where there seems to be no way we want to know how exactly God operates in why he allows certain things to happen now should you find yourself in A Storm of difficulty may I remind

you that Psalm 34: 19 says many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all however as humans we always want to know the details how exactly will the Lord Deliver Us however I would like to encourage you and tell you that God is Sovereign meaning that he possesses Supreme and ultimate power and because the Lord possesses all authority all power and knowledge this means that our part is not to question God we are not to demand answers or feel as though we're on the same level with God that

he has to explain himself that's not the case our part is to have faith that God means what he says and he says what he means if he says all things work together together for my good then my part is not to ask how but it's simply to trust that God honors his word if the word of God tells me that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him out of them all then my part is to Hold On by faith to this promise with the eyes of Faith you can see

the hand of God the goodness of God in every situation regardless less of how painful through faith you begin to consider if you've been placed in that set of circumstances for a specific reason or for a specific purpose a purpose such as unlocking a stronger desire for prayer in your life a purpose such as Awakening a hunger for righteousness and Holiness like never before in your life or perhaps the purpose of such a test is to expose the gifts and the calling that lays dormant inside of you too often because we're focusing on the negative

we don't see the positive in that situation and we don't see what God is trying to do could it be that the reason for this difficulty is God wanting to reveal to you how real he is perhaps this is a test where God wants to demonstrate himself to be your provider or perhaps the Lord wants to use this trial in your life to demonstrate his strength and kindness to you and so dear friend whatever the purpose of this trial you're in I encourage you to do your part your part is to hold on in faith

and look to Jesus now let us pray Lord God I bow down before you and acknowledge you to be The Great I Am father help us to trust you more give us Faith Without Borders give us the type of faith that can walk on water lord together with everyone listening we believe that you King Jesus Christ can still perform miracles on this Earth today you can still make every crooked path straight you can still mend every Broken Heart and make it whole again Holy Spirit teach us how to change our perspectives help us to learn

to walk by faith and not by sight open our spiritual eyes and change the way that we see things remove the scales from our eyes and give us a renewed mind Lord I pray that you would fill us with the Holy Spirit fill us with boldness and courage Lord help us to be believers who stop asking when will things turn around for my good but instead may we be a people who ask what do you want me to learn in this Lord during tough situations help us to remember that although the afflictions of the righteous

are many you're a God who delivers us out of them all so instead of speaking about the negative only give us a mind that thinks on those good things that are promised in the Bible give us a mind that holds on to your promises promises such as Psalm 34:17 which says the righteous cry out and the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles We Praise You Lord Jesus because in this fight you are in our corner you are fighting the battle for us I declare your promise in Exodus 14:4 which says the

Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent Lord Jesus you are all powerful and we can safely declare that he who is in me is greater than he who is in the world our hearts do safely Trust trust in you and as we call out the name of Jesus to intervene we ask for your intervention Lord Jesus because the Bible says in nahem 1: 7 the Lord is good a stronghold in the day of trouble he knows those who take refuge in him you are indeed a strong hold in the day

of trouble and my prayer today with everyone listening is that your holy power would change our carnal [Music] mindsets I pray for everyone who's in the middle of a storm right now Lord would you let this storm become a testimony and a demonstration of your saving power Lord we declare that as sons and daughter of the most high we are Overcomers in you Lord we are more than conquerors our physical eyes might not see it yet but I pray you would open our spiritual eyes of Faith so that we can see your hand leading us

protecting us and shielding Us from Evil father I know that there is power in the blood of Jesus Christ enough power to remove every barrier and obstacle before us for that we praise you continue to work in our lives thank you for hearing this prayer amen the love of God is divine true and everlasting the Bible even goes as far as stating that God is love in fact so great is the love of God that John 3:16 Says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him

should not perish but have everlasting life the love of our almighty god Jehovah is characterized by Grace forgiveness and mercy his Divine love is eternal and unconditional it's not a love that requires you to work for it because Jesus Christ did all the work on the cross it's not a love that you need to earn because what Jesus did on the cross was enough now I say this so that you may recognize the depth and magnitude of God's love over your life it's a love that always protects you a love that will provide for you

A Love That Forgives you so I encourage you to praise the Lord for his consistency praise him for his steadfast love so deep is the love of the Lord that even when we are incapable of living consistently in in a manner that is pleasing to him he is still loving Romans 5:8 says but God demonstrates his own love for us in this while we were still sinners Christ died for us think of that while we were sinners Christ died for us while you and I rejected him he loved us while you and I turned our

backs on the Lord he loved us in fact the Bible says in John 15: 11 to13 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete my command is this love each other as I have loved you greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends and so dear listener you may have been abandoned by someone who you thought loved you but let me tell you that Jesus Christ will never abandon you you may have been portrayed by someone who

once said they loved you but Jesus Christ will never portray your trust friend you may have been rejected by someone who you expected to love you but let me tell you Jesus Christ will never reject you the Lord knows you he knows your name he knows the number of hairs on your head and he cares for you now with all that I have told you I want you to take my message with the correct context the love that God has for you is great indeed however this is no excuse to continue living in sin of

course God loves you and it's because of this great love that he wants you to re repent God loves you and it's because of this love that he wants you to lean on him for the strength and the grace to live righteously and so with this understanding let us pray you are our savior Lord Jesus and out of love you came to this Earth You Were crucified on a cross so that we can be saved I praise you for such a deep Supernatural love that I could never repay How Great Is Your Love God Almighty

that you gave your only begotten son so that I should not perish but have everlasting life I did nothing to deserve this but yet you freely gave your son so that I should not perish your word that tells me in Jeremiah 1:5 says before I formed you in the womb I knew you before you were born I set you apart may your name always be praised for such love I thank you for meeting my greatest need which is to be loved unconditionally you are a God who knows all all that is done in the light

and all deeds and thoughts in the darkness and regardless of knowing my most shameful secrets you still decided to offer me a perfect sacrificial everlasting love you decided to offer me grace and mercy in spite of my faults you decided to show me a powerful love though you know me inside out and I know where I fall short just as the Apostle Paul said in Romans 8 verse 38-39 I declare that I am convinced that neither death nor life neither angels nor demons neither the present nor the future nor any powers neither height nor depth

nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus Christ Our Lord I Thank you Lord for holding me together each and every day whenever I have needed you you have been there for me whenever I have called on your name you have heard my cry I am grateful for all of the love mercy and Grace that has been and that is shown to me though I did not deserve it thank you for your faithfulness even through the tough times of life to you alone

Be The Glory in your presence is the safest place that we can be in and so together with everyone listening right now our prayer Lord is that your presence would cover us may you walk with us every day May the Holy Spirit help us to realize and understand the magnitude of your love and may we never take it for granted may we be convicted to live lives that honor you lives that hate sin and love righteousness thank you Lord Jesus you have loved us with an everlasting love you have proven yourself to be always faithful

God we trust and hold on to your word that says in Zephaniah 3:1 17 the Lord your God is with you the mighty warrior who saves he will take great Delight in you in his love he will no longer rebuke you but will rejoice over you with singing You Are you are worthy to be exalted and I uplift your name on high father thank you for hearing this prayer all the glory be unto you in jesus' name I pray amen Hebrews 12: 2 reads looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith who for

the joy that was set before him end Ed the cross despising the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God we should always have our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ he's the only one worthy of our devotion he's the only one worthy of our worship Jesus Christ is the only one worthy of our praise and our adoration he's the only one who should be right at the center right at the top of our priorities and I want to encourage you today to pray with more intensity have a deeper hunger

for God I encourage you to seek and Chase the presence of God with an urgency in the Book of Matthew 16:4 then Jesus said to his disciples whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take a up their cross and follow me now let me ask you do you have the desire to follow Jesus Christ do you have a willingness to deny yourself of the temporary pleasures of this world I urge you to examine your heart and ask yourself am I willing to take up my cross and follow Jesus now the cross was

never meant to symbolize something easy or simple it symbolizes a place of pain a place of purging or Affliction but it also symbolizes salvation and hope it symbolizes the love of Jesus and the power of his blood the cross is symbolic of a place where flesh dies where sin is defeated and Jesus Christ wins and so we need to be mindful of the words of Jesus deny yourself take up your cross and follow Jesus Now 1 Timothy 4:8 says for bodily exercise profits a little but godliness is profitable for all things having promis of the

life that now is and of that which is to come A True Believer of Jesus Christ will strive to live a Godly life but if you look at the world today godliness is not a priority for a lot of people godliness is not sought after by a lot of people today even in the church and you see the devil has clearly deceived a lot of people to believe one particular lie a lie that we can be righteous on our own the enemy wants us to believe that we can operate independently the enemy has lied to

People by telling them that they can live independently of God but this isn't true living in such a manner is called self-righteousness in the Bible the Pharisees and Sadducees opposed Jesus Christ so fiercely because they thought they were righteous they were self-righteous they were righteous in their own eyes and Jesus was a problem to this group of people because he taught about repentance he taught about righteousness according to God standard not man's standard and so every True Believer of Jesus Christ strives to live a Godly life a life according to the word of the Lord

not their own personal standards now let me go further to clarify some of the Hallmarks of a True Believer a True Believer in Jesus Christ exercises practical faith meaning that they walk walk by faith and not by sight and Faith doesn't mean you ignore facts no faith means that you trust in God despite what the facts say A True Believer in Jesus Christ perseveres in prayer because prayer to a Christian is like blood to the body that's our Lifeline that's why the Bible tells us to pray always and to pray with without ceasing so now

let us pray father your word in Matthew 21:22 says if you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer I thank you for such a promise a promise that you God Almighty the Eternal Father will answer our prayers if we ask and believe I'm thankful that you are an a affectionate God a God who has an infinite wisdom and power I am grateful that in all your power and Glory you can still take the time to hear and listen to our prayers for this privilege I Will Rejoice I thank you Lord Jesus for

all that you do for the goodness and mercy that you've shown us as your children we thank you you're a God who is so good and so caring your word tells us that you have numbered the hairs on our heads because of your great love for us I thank you for loving us so strongly Lord I long to abide and dwell in your presence I desire to have close communion with you to be in close fellowship with you Lord because it's only in you that I can be revived and refreshed in my soul Holy Spirit

help me to always live a life that gives God all the glory and all the praise I pray that I will have a demeanor which is humble and thankful for all that you've done for me I know Lord Jesus that you work within my circumstances you work even within the troubles I face and you deliver me I Rejoice today because of you my father you are in absolute control of everything every aspect of my life is within your control so I choose to abide in you because that's where I'm safe I'm secure in your presence

there's nothing that takes place in my life that you my God have not allowed to happen Lord I find strength in the understanding that the most high God is working all things together for my good I sub submit to your will King Jesus I yield to all of your ways although I may not know each and every detail about what will happen tomorrow or even today I will trust you my king I will trust you with all my heart and I choose not to lean on my own understanding I choose to reverence you and to

acknowledge you father in all my ways you deserve all the glory you're a God who will make every crooked path straight and so I praise you the God of all creation a God who never sleeps nor Slumbers I will forever sing your praises and I'll adore your Holy Name Lord Jesus I Rejoice because you have removed the power of Sin from my life you have clothed Me In Your Love and in your grace you are the alpha and omega the same yesterday today and forever father I thank you for hearing this prayer it's in the

mighty name of Jesus that I do pray and I give you thanks amen
