Play This Every Night | The Best Prayers To Fall Asleep Blessed | Sleep With God's Word All Night

humans love to be able to measure we love predictable outcomes but life doesn't always work out that way our Earthly logic doesn't apply to every situation in our minds victory in life is all about our capability our credentials and our material things we believe that unless we look impressive to the rest of the world we have no chance of succeeding in life but God has the power to override all of that God doesn't look for the strongest among us to demonstrate his power that would be too simple for him too predictable if God were only

to use the strongest among us then we could essentially rationalize the Lord and Rob him of his glory if God were to only use the strongest among us to do his work many of us would take God out of the equation and say well that person was always an outstanding and gifted individual the Bible in 1 Corinthians 1: 27 says but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong this means you can't predict how God will move or act what

we deem to be foolish God will use to shame the wise what we deem to be weak God will use to shame the strong his ways are not like our ways your biggest challenge can be used by the Lord to usher in your biggest breakthrough and bless blessing ask Joseph the worst thing that could have happened to him being betrayed by his own Brothers turned out to be the very thing that catapulted him into his God ordained Destiny ask the woman with the issue of blood the disease that had taken so much from her a

disease that robbed her of her friends her wealth and dignity that same disease is what led her to experience the miraculous healing power of the master our weaknesses can so often be the cause of us experiencing the power of God we should be encouraged by the word of the Lord which says in Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to those who who love God to those who are the called according to his purpose trials and problems will come at one point or another we will be forced to fight battles

that we'd rather not we will come across challenges that we may not want to face however we have a savior in Jesus Christ we have a miracle work in God and he will make a way when there seems to be no way God has promised us in his word that all things will work together for our good if we love him that means the pain and disappointment you feel now will work together for your good and so be encouraged you may not see it now it may not make sense right now however trust the Lord

to lead you trust him to make you lie down in Green Pastures trust him to lead you to Still Waters trust God to make a way when there seems to be no way because ultimately he is in control and your life is in his Loving Hands Heavenly Father your word says in Jeremiah 33:3 call to me and I will answer you and show you Great and Mighty things which you do not know I pray that you will show me Great and Mighty things do a mighty work in my life Lord whatever I may need whichever

area that needs divine intervention Lord I invite you to step in Break Every Chain that's stopping me from progressing forward Break Every Chain in my relationships marriage career and health loosen those chains just as you did with Paul and Silas you have said that you are near to all who call on you in truth increase the size of my faith Lord so that I may know your power at your name mountains move at your name storms become calm at the name of Jesus Christ walls and barriers come down not only will every knee bow and

every tongue confess that you are Lord but every stronghold and every evil force will be defeated there is no power greater than you nothing standing against me can prosper as long as you are with me Lord help me to trust in in your power when I face difficult situations that seem to have no solution you have promised that those who seek the Lord lack no good thing I pray that I will lack for nothing as I Look to You for every need and desire in my life Lord I declare a complete breakthrough over every area

in my life for I am vict Victorious through Christ Jesus I come against every form of worry even if things seem impossible I trust and believe that all things are possible with you Lord and my heart will be at peace I pray that the holy spirit will guide me and direct me Holy Spirit help me to make wise decisions and lead me to walk in God's will even as I trust you to make a way where there seems to be no way Lord I lift up my faith and place my confidence in you father surely

goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life I am grateful to you because I have the power through the blood of Jesus Christ to overcome daily direct my steps and fulfill your plans for my my life Lord let my feet run swiftly to follow after you help me to fix my eyes on you Jesus I pray for a supernatural breakthrough may I begin to see your power at work in my life may the Holy Spirit open my eyes so that I can see the goodness of God daily I thank you for

hearing my prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that I pray amen I want to talk to someone today who has struggled with doubt in their faith at one point or another and it's nothing to be ashamed of because many of the figures in Biblical history they faced out at some point in their Journey with God Moses he had his moment of doubt it occurred when he questioned his ability to speak publicly after God instructed him to go and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt Abraham is another person who doubted God

the Bible says in Genesis 17: 15-17 then God said to Abraham regarding Sarai your wife her name will no longer be Sarai from now on her name will be Sarah and I will bless her and give you a son from her yes I will bless her richly and and she will become the mother of many nations Kings of Nations will be among her descendants then Abraham bowed down to the ground but he laughed to himself in disbelief how could I become a father at the age of 100 he thought and how can Sarah have a

baby when she is 90 years old in this passage of scripture Abraham literally laughed in disbelief imagine that God tells you something and because it's so far off the realm of what you believe to be possible you laugh let me tell you something unbelief can be a great enemy in our lives sometimes people are so consumed when it comes to what's going on in their lives and they begin to think that they live under constant spiritual attack from the devil but I would like to tell you that sometimes our greatest enemy is not the devil

is not demons but rather it is our unbelief let me show you how dangerously powerful unbelief is the Bible reads in Matthew 13: 53-58 when Jesus had finished telling these stories and illustrations he left that part of the country he returned to Nazareth his hometown when he taught there in the synagogue everyone was amazed and said where does he get this wisdom and the power power to do Miracles then they scoffed he's just the carpenter son and we know Mary his mother and his brothers James Joseph Simon and Judas all his sisters live right here

Among Us where did he learn all these things and they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him then Jesus told them a prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family and so he did only a few Miracles there because of their unbelief now let that sink in the Son of God In the Flesh the one who walked on water and performed miraculous healings and wonders he did very few miracles in Nazareth because of what unbelief unbelief restricted the power of God to operate now I encourage you don't

let this be the story of your life the truth is God can perform miracles in your life if you believe God can break you free from that addiction if you believe God can mend your marriage he can change your children's behavior only if you believe and so with our hearts and Minds intent on dispelling any unbelief in our lives and clinging to the belief in our Almighty all powerful god let's go to the throne together dear Lord Jesus We believe We Believe In You Lord we believe that you died on a cross and Rose up

from the grave we believe that you are seated on the right hand side of God the father and in your hands are the keys to life and death King Jesus we believe that at the sound of your name every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that you are Lord the Bible in Acts 16:31 it says so they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved you and your household we believe in you Lord Jesus you are able to bring Unity into our homes you are able to bring peace in

into our homes We Believe Lord that you can bring healing into any broken marriage Lord Jesus we believe that you can move within the hearts of every member of our family Lord draw us closer to you give us hearts that are loving hearts that are forgiving dear Lord our prayer today is that you would Purge us from all unbelief that is in our hearts cleanse us from all doubt help us to trust in you without reservation release our faith from the chains of doubt and skepticism King Jesus let your Holy Spirit flow Over Our Lives

May the Holy Spirit take control in our lives and lead us to walk in your way and in your will father we desire to have an experience with the Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost in Acts 2: 2-4 it says and suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing Mighty Wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting then there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire and one sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues

as the spirit gave them utterance Lord May the Holy Spirit move in our lives like a mighty rushing wind May the Holy Ghost fill our homes your word in mark 16:17 it says and these signs will follow those who believe in my name they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues let these signs be a reality in our lives King Jesus let us be able to cast out demons in your name and to speak in new tongues I Praise You Lord Jesus for you are great and awesome as we live our lives

father may it be pleasing to you may Our Lives be led by the Holy Spirit and Lord I pray that we may live lives that are dependent on the Holy Spirit may we live in obedience to his counsel dear Lord equip us to fight the good fight of Faith father God through the many challenges that we may face in this life help us to be strong and resilient in faith never wavering because of Doubt or unbelief but father through the power of the Holy Spirit help us to be strong and to be firm in Faith

Lord be lifted High We Praise Your holy name and we thank you for resting on us and resting in us the power to walk in absolute belief because we know that you are the omnipotent om om nient omnipresent God and we serve you we love you and we believe on you for everything that concerns Our Lives God I pray that you would strengthen my faith father help me to be strong in faith I Trust You Lord Jesus to be my provider the one who will meet my every need I trust in you Lord Jesus to

keep my my mind at peace to keep my soul at peace your word in Jeremiah 17 veres 7-8 blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is the Lord for he shall be like a tree planted By the Waters which spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when heat comes but its Leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the year of drought nor will cease from yielding fruit father the one who trusts in you has spiritual security the one who trusts in You Is Anchored

and unshakeable and I desire to be someone who trusts in you fully no matter this situation may the Holy Spirit strengthen my faith regardless of the best battle I face May the Holy Spirit strengthen my faith we praise your Holy Name Lord it is in the mighty and matchless name of King Jesus that we pray amen now someone may be listening right now and they find themselves in the middle of a discouraging season I may not know who you are or what your exact situation is but one thing I do know know is that the

Bible in Hebrews 10: 23-2 says let us seize and hold tightly the confession of Our Hope without wavering for he who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful to his word and let us consider thoughtfully how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds not forsaking our meeting together as Believers for worship and instruction as is the habit of some but encouraging one another and all the more Faithfully as you see the day of Christ's return approaching the Bible tells us to encourage one another and that's what I would like to

do today whatever it is you are going through leave it in God's hands the Lord has the final say over your life and you need to hold on don't give up Don't Let Go don't give in and don't be discouraged I pray that the holy spirit will block you from looking to the left and to the right so that your eyes can only look up to Jesus Christ Romans 8:37 says yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us you are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ so keep

believing that God will see you through keep believing that God will strengthen you don't be discouraged don't be defeated but stand stand on God's word and on God's promise because he has said I will never leave you nor forsake you one of the most remarkable things that Jesus said while he was here on this Earth can be found in John 15: 15 the Bible reads no longer do I call you servants for a servant does not know what his master is doing but I have called you friends for all things that I heard from my

father I have made known to you when I read this verse I think back to when I was a young man and I first heard the song what a friend we have in Jesus it was one of those songs that that lifted me up during a very discouraging season in my life allow me for a moment to just recite the lyrics to This uplifting song what a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and griefs to bear and what a privilege to carry Everything To God In Prayer oh what peace we often forfeit oh

what needless pain we bear all because we do not carry Everything To God In Prayer have we trials and temptations is there trouble anywhere we should never be discouraged take it to the Lord in prayer can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer now let us pray Lord Jesus my hope is in you my faith is in you my trust is in you when I feel anxious I pray that the Holy Spirit would teach me to cast my burdens

on Jesus teach me to lean on the Lord for strength teach me not to carry the load by myself but remind me that in Jesus I have a friend that sticks close than a brother in Jesus I have a God who has said come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest give me Rest In Your Arms Lord take away everything that tries to discourage me if I should fall pick me up Lord if I should get knocked down Lift Me Up Lord Lord I pray for each and

every person under the sound of my voice those who are discouraged those who are tired and weary I pray that they may know you to be The God Who restores and resurrects may they find you to be a God who renews and revives father your word in Psalm 18 verse 1-6 encourages me as it reads I Love You Lord my strength the Lord is my rock my Fortress and my deliverer my God Is My Rock in whom I take refuge my shield and the Horn of my salvation my stronghold I called to the Lord who

is worthy of praise and I have been saved from my enemies the cords of death entangled me the torments of Destruction overwhelmed me the cords of the Grave coiled around me the snares of death confronted me in my distress I called to the Lord I cried to my God for help from his Temple he heard my voice My Cry came before him into his ears you are God who helps me in my distress when I cry out You Hear My Cry and you are the Good Shepherd who Rescues Me Lord I am reaching out to

you because you are the one who controls all things and rules over all things you know my beginning from my end you know that which strengthens me in what my weakness is Lord Jesus I cannot face this life without you you are the one who helps me to overcome you are the one who lifts me up from a pit of despair I will trust in you forever because your word in Jeremiah 17: 7-8 says blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord whose trust is the Lord he is like a tree planted by water

that sends out its roots by the stream and does not fear when he comes for its leaves remain green and is not anxious in the year of drought for it does not cease to bear fruit my heart does safely trust in you King Jesus because you mean for me to lie down in Green Pastures and you lead me beside Still Waters you restore my soul and for this I give you thanks and offer Praises up to you thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ 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 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: 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 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 first 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 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 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 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 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 h humans love to be able to measure we love predictable outcomes but life doesn't always work out that way our Earthly logic doesn't apply to every situation in our minds victory in life is all about our capability our credentials and our material things we believe that unless we look impressive to the rest of the world we have no chance of succeeding in life but God has the power to override

all of that God doesn't look for the strongest among us to demonstrate his power that would be too simple for him too predictable if God were only to use the strongest among us then we could essentially rationalize the Lord and Rob him of his glory if God were to only use the strongest among us to do his work many of us would take God out of the equation and say well that person was always an outstanding and gifted individual the Bible in First Corinthians chapter 1: 27 says but God chose what is foolish in the

world to shame the wise God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong this means you can't predict how God will move or act what we deem to be foolish God will use to shame the wise what we deem to be weak God will use to shame the strong his ways are not like our ways your biggest challenge can be used by the Lord to usher in your biggest breakthrough and blessing asked Joseph the worst thing that could have happened to him being betrayed by his own Brothers turned out to be the

very thing that catapulted him into his God ordained Destiny ask the woman with the issue of blood the disease that had taken so much from her a disease that robbed her of her friends her wealth and dignity that same disease is what led her to experience the miraculous healing power of the master our weaknesses can so often be the cause of us experiencing the power of God we should be encouraged by the word of the Lord which says in Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God

to to those who are the called according to his purpose trials and problems will come at one point or another we will be forced to fight battles that we'd rather not we will come across challenges that we may not want to face however we have a savior in Jesus Christ we have a miracle work in God and he will make a way when there SE seems to be no way God has promised us in his word that all things will work together for our good if we love him that means the pain and disappointment you

feel now will work together for your good and so be encouraged you may not see it now it may not make sense right now however trust the Lord to lead you trust him to make you lie down in Green Pastures trust him to lead you to Still Waters trust God to make a way when there seems to be no way because ultimately he is in control and your life is in his Loving Hands Heavenly Father your word says in Jeremiah 33:3 call to me and I will answer you and show you Great and Mighty things

which you do not know I pray that you will show me Great and Mighty things do a mighty work in my life Lord whatever I may need whichever area that needs divine intervention Lord I invite you to step in Break Every Chain that's stopping me from progressing forward Break Every Chain in my relationships marriage career and health loosen those chains just as you did with Paul and Silas you have said that you are near to all who call on you in truth increase the size of my faith Lord so that I may know your power

at your name mountains move at your name storms become calm at the name of Jesus Christ walls and barriers come down not only will every knee bow and every tongue confess that you are Lord but every stronghold and every evil force will be defeated there is no power greater than you nothing standing against me can prosper as long as you are with me Lord help me to trust in your power when I face difficult situations that seem to have no solution you have promised that those who seek the Lord lack no good thing I pray

that I will lack for nothing as I Look to You for every need and desire in my life Lord I declare a complete breakthrough over every area in my life for I am victorious through Christ Jesus Jesus I come against every form of worry even if things seem impossible I trust and believe that all things are possible with you Lord and my heart will be at peace I pray that the holy spirit will guide me and direct me Holy Spirit help me to make wise decisions and lead me to walk in God's will even as

I trust you to make a way where there seems to be no way Lord I lift up my faith and place my confidence in you father surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life I am grateful to you because I have the power through the blood of Jesus Christ to overcome daily direct my steps and fulfill your plans for my life Lord let my feet run swiftly to follow after you help me to fix my eyes on you Jesus I pray for a supernatural breakthrough may I begin to see your

in whom I take refuge my shield and the Horn of my salvation my stronghold I called to the Lord who is worthy of praise and I have been saved from my enemies the cords of death entangled me the torments of Destruction overwhelmed me the cords of the Grave coiled around me the snares of death confronted me in my distress I called to the Lord I cried to my God for help from his Temple he heard my voice My Cry came before him into his ears you are God who helps me in my distress when I

cry out You Hear My Cry and you are the Good Shepherd who Rescues Me Lord I am reaching out to you because you are the one who controls all things and rules over all things you know my beginning from my end you know that which strengthens me and what my weakness is Lord Jesus I cannot face this life without you you are the one who helps me to overcome you are the one who lifts me up from a pit of despair I will trust in you forever because your word in Jeremiah 17: 7-8 says blessed

is the man who trusts in the Lord whose trust is the Lord he is like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream and does not fear when heat comes for its leaves remain green and is not anxious in the year of drought for it does not cease to bear fruit my heart does safely trust in you King Jesus because you mean for me to lie down in Green Pastures and you lead me beside Still Waters you restore my soul and for this I give you thanks and offer Praises up

to you thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray amen Hebrews 12: 2 reads looking unto Jesus 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 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 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 promised 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 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 strengthen 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 humans love to be able to to measure we love predictable outcomes but life doesn't always work out that way our Earthly logic doesn't apply to every situation in our minds Victory and life is all about our capability our credentials and our material things we believe that unless we look impressive to the rest of

the world we have no chance of succeeding in life but God has the power to override all of that God doesn't look for the strongest among us to demonstrate his power that would be too simple for him too predictable if God were only to use the strongest among us then we could essentially rationalize the Lord and Rob him of his glory if God were to only use the strongest among us to do his work many of us would take God out of the equation and say well that person was always an outstanding and gifted individual

the Bible in 1 Corinthians 1: 27 says but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong this means you can't predict how God will move or act what we deem to be foolish God will use to shame the wise what we deem to be weak God will use to shame the strong his ways are not like our ways your biggest challenge can be used by the Lord to usher in your biggest breakthrough and blessing ask Joseph the worst thing that

could have happened to him being betrayed by his own Brothers turned out to be the very thing that catapulted him into his God ordained Destiny ask the woman with the issue of blood the disease that had taken so much from her a disease that robbed her of her friends her wealth and dignity that same disease is what led her to experience the miraculous healing power of the master our weaknesses can so often be the cause of us experiencing the power of God we should be encouraged by the word of the Lord which says in Romans

8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are the called according to his purpose trials and problems will come at one point or another we will be forced to fight battles that we'd rather not we will come across challenges that we may not want to face however we have a savior in Jesus Christ we have a miracle work in God and he will make a way when there seems to be no way God has promised us in his word that all things will work together

for our good if we love him that means the pain and disappointment you feel now will work together for your good and so be encouraged you may not see it now it may not make sense right now however trust the Lord to lead you trust him to make you lie down in in Green Pastures trust him to lead you to Still Waters trust God to make a way when there seems to be no way because ultimately he is in control and your life is in his Loving Hands Heavenly Father your word says in Jeremiah 33:3

call to me and I will answer you you and show you Great and Mighty things which you do not know I pray that you will show me Great and Mighty things do a mighty work in my life Lord whatever I may need whichever area that needs divine intervention Lord I invite you to step in Break Every Chain that's stopping me from progressing forward Break Every Chain in my relationships marriage career and health loosen those chains just as you did with Paul and Silas you have said that you are near to all who call on you

in truth increase the size of my faith Lord so that I may know your power at your name mountains move at your name storms become calm at the name of Jesus Christ walls and barriers come down not only will every knee bow and every tongue confess that you are Lord but every stronghold and every evil force will be defeated there is no power greater than you nothing standing against me can prosper as long as you are with me Lord help me to trust in your power when I face difficult situations that seem to have no

solution you have promised that those who seek the Lord lack no good thing I pray that I will lack for nothing as I Look to You for every need and desire in my life Lord I declare a complete breakthrough over every area in my life for I am victorious through Christ Jesus I come against every form of worry even if things seem impossible I trust and believe that all things are possible with you Lord and my heart will be at peace I pray that the holy spirit will guide me and direct me Holy Spirit help

me to make wise decisions and lead me to walk in God's will even as I trust you to make a way where there seems to be no way Lord I lift up my faith and place my confidence in you father surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life I am grateful to you because I have the power through the blood of Jesus Christ to overcome daily direct my steps and fulfill your plans for my life Lord let my feet run swiftly to follow after you help me to fix my eyes

on you Jesus I pray for a supernatural breakthrough may I begin to see your power at work in my life may the Holy Spirit open my eyes so that I can see the goodness of God daily I thank you for hearing my prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that I pray amen I want to talk to someone today who has struggled with doubt in their faith at one point or another and it's nothing to be ashamed of because many of the figures in Biblical history they faced out at some point in their

Journey with God Moses he had his moment of doubt it occurred when he questioned his ability to speak publicly after God instructed him to go and lead the children children of Israel out of Egypt Abraham is another person who doubted God the Bible says in Genesis 17: 15-1 17 then God said to Abraham regarding Sarai your wife her name will no longer be Sarai from now on her name will be Sarah and I will bless her and give you a son from her yes I will bless her richly and she will become the mother of

many nations King Kings of Nations will be among her descendants then Abraham bowed down to the ground but he laughed to himself in disbelief how could I become a father at the age of 100 he thought and how can Sarah have a baby when she is 90 years old in this passage of scripture Abraham literally laughed in disbelief imagine that God tells you something and because it's so far off the realm of what you believe to be possible you laugh let me tell you something unbelief can be a great enemy in our lives sometimes people

are so consumed when it comes to what's going on in their lives and they begin to think that they live under constant spiritual attack from the devil but I would like to tell you that sometimes our greatest enemy is not the devil it's not demons but rather it is our own unbelief let me show you how dangerously powerful unbelief is the Bible reads in Matthew 13: 53-58 when Jesus had finished telling these stories and illustrations he left that part of the country he returned to Nazareth his hometown when he taught there in the synagogue everyone

was amazed and said where does he get this wisdom and the power to do Miracles then they scoffed he's just the carpenter son and we know Mary his mother and his brothers James Joseph Simon and Judas all his sisters live right here Among Us where did he learn all these things and they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him then Jesus told them a prophet is honored everywhere except in his own Hometown and among his own family and so he did only a few Miracles there because of their unbelief now let that sink

in the Son of God In the Flesh the one who walked on water and performed miraculous healings and wonders he did very few miracles in Nazareth because of what unbelief unbelief restricted the power of God to operate now I encourage you don't let this be the story of your life life the truth is God can perform miracles in your life if you believe God can break you free from that addiction if you believe God can mend your marriage he can change your children's behavior only if you believe and so with our hearts and Minds intent

on dispelling any unbelief in our lives and cling ining to the belief in our Almighty all powerful god let's go to the throne together dear Lord Jesus We believe We Believe In You Lord we believe that you died on a cross and Rose up from the grave we believe that you are seated on the right hand side of God the father and in your hands are the keys to life and death King Jesus we believe that at the sound of your name every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that you are Lord the

Bible in Acts 16:31 it says so they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved you and your household we believe in you Lord Jesus you are able to bring Unity into our homes you are able to bring peace into our homes We Believe Lord that you can bring healing into any broken marriage Lord Jesus we believe that you can move within the hearts of every member of our family Lord draw us closer to you give us hearts that are loving hearts that are forgiving dear Lord our prayer today is that

you would Purge us from all unbelief that is in our hearts cleanse us from all doubt help us to trust in you without reservation release our faith from the chains of doubt and skepticism King Jesus let your Holy Spirit flow Over Our Lives May the Holy Spirit take control in our lives and lead us to walk in your way and in your will father we desire to have an experience with the Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost in Acts 2 verses 2-4 it says and suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a

rushing Mighty Wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting then there appeared to them divided tongues as a fire and one sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance Lord May the Holy Spirit move in our lives like a mighty rushing wind May the Holy Ghost fill our homes your word in Mark 16 :1 17 it says in these signs will follow those who believe in my name they will cast out demons they will

speak with new tongues let these signs be a reality in our lives King Jesus let us be able to cast out demons in your name and to speak in new tongues I Praise You Lord Jesus for you are great and awesome as we live our lives father May It Be pleasing to you may Our Lives be led by the Holy Spirit and Lord I pray that we may live lives that are dependent on the Holy Spirit may we live in obedience to his counsel dear Lord equip us to fight the good fight of Faith father

God through the many challenges that we may face in this life help us to be strong and resilient in faith never wavering because of Doubt or unb belief but father through the power of the Holy Spirit help us to be strong and to be firm in Faith Lord be lifted High We Praise Your holy name and we thank you for resting on us and resting in us the power to walk in absolute belief because we know that you are the omnipotent omniscient omnipresent God and we serve you we love you and we believe on you

for everything that concerns Our Lives God I pray that you would strengthen my faith father help me to be strong in faith I Trust You Lord Jesus to be my provider the one who will meet my every need I trust in you Lord Jesus to keep my mind at peace to keep my soul whole at peace your word in Jeremiah 17: 7-8 blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is the Lord for he shall be like a tree planted By the Waters which spreads out its roots by the river and

will not fear when heat comes but its Leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the year of drought nor will cease from yielding fruit father the one who trusts in you has spiritual security the one who trusts in You Is Anchored and unshakable and I desire to be someone who trusts in you fully no matter the situation may the Holy Spirit strengthen my faith regardless of the battle I face May the Holy Spirit strengthen my faith we praise your Holy Name Lord it is in the mighty and matous name of King Jesus

that we pray amen now someone may be listening right now and they find themselves in the middle of a discouraging season I may not know who you are or what your exact situation is but one thing I do know is that the Bible in Hebrews chap 10 verse 23-2 says let us seize and hold tightly the confession of Our Hope without wavering for he who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful to his word and let us consider thoughtfully how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds not forsaking our meeting

together as Believers for worship and instruction as is the habit of s but encouraging one another and all the more Faithfully as you see the day of Christ's return approaching the Bible tells us to encourage one another and that's what I would like to do today whatever it is you are going through leave it in God's hands the Lord has the final say over your life and you need to hold on don't give up Don't Let Go don't give in and don't be discouraged I pray that the holy spirit will block you from looking to

the left and to the right so that your eyes can only look up to Jesus Christ Romans 8:37 says yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us you are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ so keep believing that God will see you through keep believing that God will strengthen you don't be discouraged don't be defeated but stand stand on God's word and on God's promise because he has said I will never leave you nor forsake you one of the most remarkable things that Jesus said while he was

here on this Earth can be found in John 15:1 15 the Bible reads no longer do I call you servants for a servant does not know what his master is doing but I have called you friends for all things that I heard from my father I have made known to you when I read this verse I think back to when I was a young man and I first heard the song what a friend we have in Jesus it was one of those songs that lifted me up during a very discouraging season season in my life

allow me for a moment to just recite the lyrics to This uplifting song what a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and griefs to bear and what a privilege to carry Everything To God In Prayer oh what peace we often forfeit oh what needless pain we Bear all because we do not carry Everything To God In Prayer have we trials and temptations is there trouble anywhere we should never be discouraged take it to the Lord in prayer can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share Jesus knows our every

weakness take it to the Lord in prayer now let us pray Lord Jesus my hope is in you my faith is in you my trust is in you when I feel anxious I pray that the Holy Spirit would teach me to cast my burdens on Jesus teach me to lean on the Lord for strength teach me not to carry the load by myself but remind me that in Jesus I have a friend that sticks closer than a brother in Jesus I have a God who has said come to me all you who are weary and

burdened and I will give you rest give me Rest In Your Arms Lord take away everything that tries to discourage me if I should fall pick me up Lord if I should get knocked down Lift Me Up Lord Lord I pray for each and every person under the sound of my voice those who are discouraged those who are tired and weary I pray that they may know you to be The God Who restores and resurrects may they find you to be a God who renews and revives father your word in Psalm 18 verse 1-6 encourages

me as it reads I Love You Lord my strength the Lord is my rock my Fortress and my deliverer my God Is My Rock in whom I take refuge my shield and the Horn of my salvation my stronghold I called to the Lord who is worthy of praise and I have been saved from my enemies the cords of death entangled me the torments of Destruction overwhelmed me the cords of the Grave coiled around me the snares of death confronted me in my distress I called to the Lord I cried to my God for help from

his Temple he heard my voice My Cry came before him into his ears you are God who helps me in my distress when I cry out You Hear My Cry and you are the Good Shepherd who Rescues Me Lord I am reaching out to you because you are the one who who controls all things and rules over all things you know my beginning from my end you know that which strengthens me and what my weakness is Lord Jesus I cannot face this life without you you are the one who helps me to overcome you are

the one who lifts me up from a pit of despair I will trust in you forever because your word in Jeremiah chapter 17: 7-8 says blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord whose trust is the Lord he is like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream and does not fear when heat comes for its leaves remain green and is not anxious in the year of drought for it does not cease to bear fruit my heart does saf trust in you King Jesus because you mean for me to

lie down in Green Pastures and you lead me beside Still Waters you restore my soul and for this I give you thanks and offer Praises up to you thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray amen Hebrews 12: 2 reads looking unto Jesus the author and 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

them a prophet is honored everywhere except in his own Hometown and among his own family and so he did only a few Miracles there because of their unbelief now let that sink in the Son of God In the Flesh the one who walked on water and performed miraculous healings and wonders he did very few miracles in Nazareth because of what unbelief unbelief restricted the power of God to operate now I encourage you don't let this be the story of your life the truth is God can perform miracles in your life if you believe God can

break you free from that addiction if you believe God can mend your marriage he can change your children's behavior only if you believe and so with our hearts and Minds intent on dispelling any unbelief in our lives and clinging to the belief in our Almighty all powerful god let's go to the throne together dear Lord Jesus We believe We Believe In You Lord we believe that you died on a cross and Rose up from the grave we believe that you are seated on the right hand side of God the father and in your hands are

the keys to life and death King Jesus we believe that at the sound of your name every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that you are Lord the Bible in Acts 16:31 it says so they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved you and your household we believe in you Lord Jesus you are able to bring Unity into our homes you are able to bring peace into our homes We Believe Lord that you can bring healing into any broken marriage Lord Jesus we believe that you can move within

the hearts of every member of our family Lord draw us closer to you give us hearts that are loving hearts that are forgiving dear Lord our prayer today is that you would Purge us from all unbelief that is in our hearts cleanse us from all doubt help us to trust in you without reservation release our faith from the chains of doubt and skepticism King Jesus let your Holy Spirit flow Over Our Lives May the Holy Spirit take control in our lives and lead us to walk in your way and in your will father we desire

to have an experience with the Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost in Acts 2: 2-4 it says and suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing Mighty Wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting then there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire and once sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance Lord May the Holy Spirit move in our lives like a mighty rushing wind May the Holy Ghost

fill our homes your word in mark 16:17 it says in these signs will follow those who believe in my name they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues let these signs be a reality in our lives King Jesus let us be able to cast out demons in your name and to speak in new tongues I Praise You Lord Jesus for you are great and awesome as we live our lives father may it be pleasing to you May Our Lives be led by the Holy Spirit and Lord I pray that we may live

lives that are dependent on the Holy Spirit may we live in obedience to his counsel dear Lord equip us to fight the good fight of Faith father God through the many challenges that we may face in this life help us to be strong and resilient in faith never wavering because of Doubt or unbelief but father through the power of the Holy Spirit help us to be strong and to be firm in Faith Lord be lifted High We Praise Your holy name and we thank you for resting on us and resting in us the power to

walk in absolute belief because we know that you are the omnipotent omniscient omnipresent God and we serve you we love you and we believe on you for everything that concerns Our Lives God I pray that you would strengthen my faith father help me to be strong in faith I Trust You Lord Jesus to be my provider the one who will meet my every need I trust in you Lord Jesus to keep my mind at peace to keep my soul at peace your word in Jeremiah 17: 7-8 blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord

and whose hope is the Lord for he shall be like a tree planted By the Waters which spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when heat comes but its Leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the year of drought nor will cease from yelding yelding fruit father the one who trusts in you has spiritual security the one who trusts in You Is Anchored and unshakable and I desire to be someone who trusts in you fully no matter the situation may the Holy Spirit strengthen my faith regardless of the

battle I face May the Holy Spirit strengthen my faith we praise your Holy Name Lord it is in the mighty and matchless name of King Jesus that we pray amen now someone may be listening right now and they find themselves in the middle of a discouraging season I may not know who you are or what your exact situation is but one thing I do know is that the Bible in Hebrews 10 verse 23 to2 2 says let us seize and hold tightly the confession of Our Hope without wavering for he who promised is reliable and

trustworthy and faithful to his word and let us consider thoughtfully how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds not forsaking our meeting together as Believers for worship and instruction as is the habit of some but encouraging one another and all the more Faithfully as you see the day of Christ's return approaching the Bible tells us to encourage one another and that's what I would like to do today whatever it is you are going through leave it in God's hands the Lord has the final say over your life and you need

to hold on don't give up Don't Let Go don't give in and don't be discouraged I pray that the holy spirit will block you from looking to the left and to the right so that your eyes can only look up to Jesus Christ Romans 8:37 says yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us you are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ so keep believing that God will see you through keep believing that God will strengthen you don't be discouraged don't be defeated but stand stand on God's word

and on God's promise because he has said I will never leave you nor forsake you one of the most remarkable things that Jesus said while he was here on this Earth can be found in John 15:1 15 the Bible reads no longer do I call you servants for a servant does not know what his master is doing but I have called you friends for all things that I heard from my father I have made known to you when I read this verse I think back to when I was a young man and I first heard

the song what a friend we have in Jesus it was one of those songs that lifted me up during a very discouraging season in my life allow me for a moment to just recite the lyrics to This uplifting song what a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and griefs to bear and what a privilege to carry Everything To God In Prayer oh what peace we often forfeit oh what needless pain we Bear all because we do not carry Everything To God In Prayer have we trials and temptations is there trouble anywhere we should

never be discouraged take it to the Lord in prayer can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer now let us pray Lord Jesus my hope is in you my faith is in you my trust is in you when I feel anxious I pray that the Holy Spirit would teach me to cast my burdens on Jesus teach me to lean on the Lord for strength teach me not to carry the load by myself but remind me that in Jesus I

have a friend that sticks closer than a brother in Jesus I have a God who has said said come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest give me Rest In Your Arms Lord take away everything that tries to discourage me if I should fall pick me up Lord if I should get knocked down Lift Me Up Lord Lord I pray for each and every person under the sound of my voice those who are discouraged those who are tired and weary I pray that they may know you to

be The God Who restores and resurrects may they find you to be a God who renew and revives father your word in Psalm 18 verse 1-6 encourages me as it reads I Love You Lord my strength the Lord is my rock my Fortress and my deliverer my God is my Rock in whom I take refuge my shield and the Horn of my salvation my stronghold I called to the Lord who is worthy of praise and I have been saved from my enemies the cords of death entangled me the torments of Destruction overwhelmed me the cords

of the Grave coiled around me the snares of death confronted me in my distress I called to the Lord I cried to my God for help from his Temple he heard my voice My Cry came before him into his ears you are God who helps me in my distress when I cry out You Hear My Cry and you are the Good Shepherd who Rescues Me Lord I am reaching out to you because you are the one who controls all things and rules over all things you know my beginning from my end you know that which

strengthens me and what my weakness is Lord Jesus I cannot face this life without you you are the one who helps me to overcome you are the one who lifts me up from a pit of despair I will trust in you forever because your word in Jeremiah 17 verse 7 to8 says blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord whose trust is the Lord he is like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream and does not fear when he comes for its leaves remain green and is not anxious

in the year of drought for it does not cease to bear fruit my heart does safely trust in you King Jesus because you mean for me to lie down in Green Pastures and you lead me beside Still Waters you restore my soul and for this I give you thanks and offer Praises up to you thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray amen Hebrews 12 verse two 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 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 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 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 opposeed 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 EX 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 got 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 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 wor 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 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 for 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 humans love to be able to measure we love predictable outcomes but life doesn't always work out that way our Earthly logic doesn't apply to every situation in our minds victory in life is all about our capability our credentials and our material things we believe that unless we look impressive to the rest of the world we have no chance of succeeding in life but God has the power to override all of that God doesn't look for the strongest among us to demonstrate his power that would be too simple for him too

predictable if God were only to use the strongest among us then we could essentially rationalize the Lord and Rob him of his glory if God were to only use the strongest among us to do his work many of us would take God out of the equation and say well that person was always an outstanding and gifted individual the Bible in 1 Corinthians 1: 27 says but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong this means you can't predict how God

will move or act what we deem to be foolish God will use to shame the wise what we deem to be weak God will use to shame the strong his ways are not like our ways your biggest challenge can be used by the Lord to usher in your biggest breakthrough and blessing ask Joseph the worst thing that could have happened to him being being betrayed by his own Brothers turned out to be the very thing that catapulted him into his God ordained Destiny ask the woman with the issue of blood the disease that had taken

so much from her a disease that robbed her of her friends her wealth and dignity that same disease is what led her to experience the miraculous healing power of the master our weaknesses can so often be the cause of us experiencing the power of God we should be encouraged by the word of the Lord which says in Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are the called according to his purpose trials and problems will come at one point or another we will be

forced to fight battles that we'd rather not we will come across challenges that we may not want to face however we have a savior in Jesus Christ we have a miracle work in God and he will make a way when there seems to be no way God has promised us in his word that all old things will work together for our good if we love him that means the pain and disappointment you feel now will work together for your good and so be encouraged you may not see it now it may not make sense right

now however trust the Lord to lead you trust him to make you lie down in Green Pastures trust him to lead you to Still Waters trust God to make a way when there seems to be no way because ultimately he is in control and your life is in his Loving Hands Heavenly Father your word says in Jeremiah 33:3 call to me and I will answer you and show you Great and Mighty things which you do not know I pray that you will show me Great and Mighty things do a mighty work in my life Lord

whatever I may need whichever area that needs divine intervention Lord I invite you to step in Break Every Chain that's stopping me from progressing forward Break Every Chain in my relationships marriage career and health Health loosen those chains just as you did with Paul and Silas you have said that you are near to all who call on you in truth increase the size of my faith Lord so that I may know your power at your name mountains move at your name storms become calm at the name of Jesus Christ walls and barriers come down not

only will every knee bow and every tongue confess that you are Lord but every stronghold and every evil force will be defeated there is no power greater than you nothing standing against me can prosper as long as you are with me Lord help me to trust in your power when I face difficult situations that seem to have no solution you have promised that those who seek the Lord lack no good thing I pray that I will lack for nothing as I Look to You for every need and desire in my life Lord I declare a

complete breakthrough over every area in my life for I am victorious through Christ Jesus I come against every form of worry even if if things seem impossible I trust and believe that all things are possible with you Lord and my heart will be at peace I pray that the holy spirit will guide me and direct me Holy Spirit help me to make wise decisions and lead me to walk in God's will even as I trust you to make a way where there seems to be no way Lord I lift up my faith and place my

confidence in you father surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life I am grateful to you because I have the power through the blood of Jesus Christ to overcome daily direct my steps and fulfill your plans for my life Lord let my feet run swiftly to follow after you help me to fix my eyes on you Jesus I pray for a supernatural breakthrough may I begin to see your power at work in my life may the Holy Spirit open my eyes so that I can see the goodness of God daily

I thank you for hearing my prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that I pray amen I want to talk to someone today who has struggled with doubt in their faith at one point or another and it's nothing to be ashamed of because many of the figures in Biblical history they faced out at some point in their Journey with God Moses he had his moment of doubt it occurred when he questioned his ability to speak publicly after God instructed him to go and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt Abraham is another

person who doubted God the Bible says in Genesis 17: 15-17 then God said to Abraham regarding Sarai your wife her name will no longer be Sarai from now on her name will be Sarah and I will bless her and give you a son from her yes I will bless her richly and she will become the mother of many nations Kings of Nations will be among her descendants then Abraham bowed down to the ground but he laughed to himself in disbelief how could I become a father at the age of 100 he thought and how can

Sarah have a baby when she is 90 years old in this passage of scripture Abraham literally laughed in disbelief imagine that God tells you something and because it's so far off the realm of what you believe to be possible you laugh let me tell you something unbelief can be a great enemy in our lives sometimes people are so consumed when it comes to what's going on in their lives and they begin to think that they live under constant spiritual attack from the devil but I would like to tell you that sometimes our greatest enemy is

not the devil it's not demons but rather it is our unbelief let me show you how Danger ously powerful unbelief is the Bible reads in Matthew 13: 53-58 when Jesus had finished telling these stories and illustrations he left that part of the country he returned to Nazareth his hometown when he taught there in the synagogue everyone was amazed and said where does he get this wisdom and the power to do Miracles then they scoffed he's just the carpenter son and we know Mary his mother and his brothers James Joseph Simon and Judas all his sisters

live right here Among Us where did he learn all these things and they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him then Jesus told them a prophet is honored everywhere except in his own Hometown and among his own family and so he did only a few Miracles there because of their unbelief now let that sink in the Son of God In the Flesh the one who walked on water and performed miraculous healings and wonders he did very few miracles in Nazareth because of what unbelief unbelief restricted the power of God to operate now I

encourage you don't let this be the story of your life the truth is God can per perform miracles in your life if you believe God can break you free from that addiction if you believe God can mend your marriage he can change your children's behavior only if you believe and so with our hearts and Minds intent on dispelling any unbelief in our lives and clinging to the belief in our Almighty all power powerful god let's go to the throne together dear Lord Jesus We believe We Believe In You Lord we believe that you died on

a cross and Rose up from the grave we believe that you are seated on the right hand side of God the father and in your hands are the keys to life and death King Jesus we believe that at the sound of your name every knee will bow and every tongue will con confess that you are Lord the Bible in Acts 16:31 it says so they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved you and your household we believe in you Lord Jesus you are able to bring Unity into our homes you

are able to bring peace into our homes We Believe Lord that you can bring healing into any broken marriage Lord Jesus we believe that you can move within the hearts of every member of our family Lord draw us closer to you give us hearts that are loving hearts that are forgiving dear Lord our prayer today is that you would Purge us from all unbelief that is in our hearts cleanse us from all doubt help us to trust in you without reservation release our faith from the chains of doubt and skepticism King Jesus let your Holy

Spirit flow Over Our Lives May the Holy Spirit take control in our lives and lead us to walk in your way and in your will father we desire to have an experience with the Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost in Acts 2: 2-4 it says and suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing Mighty Wind and it filled the whole house with where they were sitting then there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire and one sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and

awesome as we live our lives father may it be pleasing to you may Our Lives be led by by the Holy Spirit and Lord I pray that we may live lives that are dependent on the Holy Spirit may we live in obedience to his counsel dear Lord equip us to fight the good fight of Faith father God through the many challenges that we may face in this life help us to be strong and resilient in faith never wavering because of Doubt or unbelief but father through the power of the Holy Holy Spirit help us to

is that the Bible in Hebrews 10: 23-2 says let us seize and hold tightly the confession of Our Hope without wavering for he who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful to his word and let us consider thoughtfully how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds not forsaking our meeting together as Believers for worship and instruction as is the habit of some but encouraging one another and all the more Faithfully as you see the day of Christ's return approaching the Bible tells us to encourage one another and that's what I

would like to do today whatever it is you are going through leave it in God's hands the Lord has the final say over your life and you need to hold on don't give up Don't Let Go don't give in and don't be discouraged I pray that the holy spirit will block you from looking to the left and to the right so that your eyes can only look up to Jesus Christ Romans 8:37 says yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us you are more than a conqueror through Jesus

Christ so keep believing that God will see you through keep believing that God will strengthen you don't be discouraged don't be defeated but stand stand on God's word and on God's promise because he has said I will never leave you nor forsake you one of the most remarkable things that Jesus said while he was here on this Earth can be found in John 15 verse 15 the Bible reads no longer do I call you servants for a servant does not know what his master is doing but I have called you friends for all things that

I heard from my father I have made known to you when I read this verse I think back to when I was a young man and I first heard the song what a friend we have in Jesus it was one of those songs that lifted me up during a very discouraging season in my life allow me for a moment to just recite the lyrics to This uplifting song what a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and griefs to bear and what a privilege to carry Everything To God In Prayer oh what peace we

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 humans love to be able to measure we love predictable outcomes but life doesn't always work out that way our Earthly logic doesn't apply to every situation in our minds victory in life is all about our capability our credentials and our material things we believe that unless we look impressive to the rest of the world we have no chance of succeeding in life but God

has the power to override all of that God doesn't look for the strongest among us to demonstrate his power that would be too simple for him too predictable if God were only to use the strongest among us then we could essentially rationalize the Lord and Rob him of his glory if God were to only use the strongest among us to do his work many of us would take God out of the equation and say well that person was always an outstanding and gifted individual the Bible in 1 Corinthians 1: 27 says but God chose what

is foolish in the world to shame the wise God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong this means you can't predict how God will move or act what we deem to be foolish God will use to shame the wise what we deem to be weak God will use to shame the strong his ways are not like our ways your biggest challenge can be used by the Lord to usher in your biggest breakthrough and blessing ask Joseph the worst thing that could have happened to him being betrayed by his own brother s

turned out to be the very thing that catapulted him into his God ordained Destiny ask the woman with the issue of blood the disease that had taken so much from her a disease that robbed her of her friends her wealth and dignity that same disease is what led her to experience the miraculous healing power of the master our weaknesses can so often be the cause of us experiencing the power of God we should be encouraged by the word of the Lord which says in Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good

to those who love God to those who are the called according to his purpose trials and problems will come at one point or another we will be forced to fight battles that we'd rather not we will come across challenges that we may not want to face however we have a savior in Jesus Christ we have a miracle work in God and he will make a way when there seems to be no way God has promised us in his word that all things will work together for our good if we love him that means the pain

and disappointment you feel now will work together for your good and so be encouraged you may not see it now it may not make sense right now however trust the Lord to lead you trust him to make you lie down in Green Pastures trust him to lead you to Still Waters trust God to make a way when there seems to be no way because ultimately he is in control and your life is in his Loving Hands Heavenly Father your word says in Jeremiah 33:3 call to me and I will answer you and show you Great

and Mighty things which you do not know I pray that you will show me Great and Mighty things do a mighty work in my life Lord whatever I may need whichever area that needs divine intervention Lord I invite you to step in Break Every Chain that's stopping me from progressing forward Break Every Chain in my relationships marriage career and health loosen those chains just as you did with Paul and Silas you have said that you are near to all who call on you in truth increase the size of my faith Lord so that I may

know your power at your name mountains move at your name storms become calm at the name of Jesus Christ walls and barriers come down not only will every knee bow and every tongue confess that you are Lord but every stronghold and every evil force will be defeated there is no power greater than you nothing standing against me can prosper as long as you are with me Lord help me to trust in your power when I face difficult situations that seem to have no solution you have promised that those those who seek the Lord lack no

good thing I pray that I will lack for nothing as I Look to You for every need and desire in my life Lord I declare a complete breakthrough over every area in my life for I am victorious through Christ Jesus I come against every form of worry even if things seem impossible I trust and believe that all things are possible with you Lord and my heart will be at peace I pray that the holy spirit will guide me and direct me Holy Spirit help me to make wise decisions and lead me to walk in God's

will even as I trust you to make a way where there seems to be no way Lord I lift up my faith and place my my confidence in you father surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life I am grateful to you because I have the power through the blood of Jesus Christ to overcome daily direct my steps and fulfill your plans for my life Lord let my feet run swiftly to follow after you help me to fix my eyes is on You Jesus I pray for a supernatural breakthrough may

I begin to see your power at work in my life may the Holy Spirit open my eyes so that I can see the goodness of God daily I thank you for hearing my prayer it's in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that I pray amen I want to talk to someone today who has struggled with doubt in their faith at one point or another and it's nothing to be ashamed of because many of the figures in Biblical history they faced out at some point in their Journey with God Moses he had his moment of doubt

it occurred when he questioned his ability to speak publicly after God instructed him to go and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt Abraham is another person who doubted God the Bible says in Genesis 17: 15-17 then God said to Abraham regarding Sarai your wife her name will no longer be Sarai from now on her name will be Sarah and I will bless her and give you a son from her yes I will bless her richly and she will become the mother of many nations Kings of Nations will be among her descendants then Abraham

bowed down to the ground but he laughed to himself in disbelief how could I become a father at the age of 100 he thought and how can Sarah have a baby when she is 90 years old in this passage of scripture Abraham literally laughed in disbelief imagine that God tells you something and because it's so far off the realm of what you believe to be possible you laugh let me tell you something unbelief can be a great enemy in our lives sometimes people are so consumed when it comes to what's going on in their lives

and they begin to think that they live under constant spiritual attack from the devil but I would like to tell you that sometimes our greatest enemy is not the devil it's not demons but rather it is our unbelief let me show you how dangerously powerful unbelief is the Bible reads in Matthew 13: 53-58 when Jesus had finished telling these stories in illustrations he left that part of the country he returned to Nazareth his hometown when he taught there in the synagogue everyone was amazed and said where does he get this wisdom and the power to

do Miracles then they scoffed he's just the carpenter son and we know Mary his mother and his brothers James Joseph Simon and Judas all his sisters live right here Among Us where did he learn all these things and they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him then Jesus told them a prophet is honored everywhere except in his own Hometown and among his own family and so he did only a few Miracles there because of their unbelief now let that sink in the Son of God In the Flesh the one who walked on water

and performed miraculous healings and wonders he did very few miracles in Nazareth because of what unbelief unbelief restricted the power of God to operate now I encourage you don't let this be the story of your life the truth is God can perform miracles in your life if you believe God can break you free from that addiction if you believe God can mend your marriage he can change your children's behavior only if you believe and so with our hearts and Minds intent on dispelling any unbelief in our lives and clinging to the belief in our Almighty

all powerful God let's go to the throne together dear Lord Jesus We believe We Believe In You Lord we believe that you died on a cross and Rose up from the grave we believe that you are seated on the right hand side of God the father and in your hands are the keys to life and death King Jesus we believe that at the sound of your name every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that you our Lord the Bible in Acts 16:31 it says so they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and

you will be saved you and your household we believe in you Lord Jesus you are able to bring Unity into our homes you are able to bring peace into our homes We Believe Lord that you can bring healing into any broken marriage Lord Jesus we believe that you can move within the hearts of every member of our family Lord draw us closer to you give us hearts that are loving hearts that are forgiving dear Lord our prayer today is that you would Purge us from all unbelief that is in our hearts cleanse us from all

doubt help us to trust in you without reservation release our faith from the chains of doubt and skepticism King Jesus let your Holy Spirit flow Over Our Lives May the Holy Spirit take control in our lives and lead us to walk in your way and in your will father we desire to have an experience with the Holy Spirit like the day of Pentecost in Acts 2: 2-4 it says and suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing Mighty Wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting then there appeared to

them divided tongues as of fire and one sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them utterance Lord May the Holy Spirit move in our lives like a mighty rushing wind May the Holy Ghost fill our homes your word in mark 16:17 it says and these signs will follow those who believe believe in my name they will cast out demons they will speak with new tongues let these signs be a reality in our lives King Jesus let us be

able to cast out demons in your name and to speak in new tongues I Praise You Lord Jesus for you are great and awesome as we live our lives father may it be pleasing to you may Our Lives be led by the Holy Spirit and Lord I pray that we may live lives that are dependent on the Holy Spirit may we live in obedience to his counsel dear Lord equip us to fight the good fight of Faith father God through the many challenges that we may face in this life help us to be strong and

resilient in faith never wavering because of Doubt or unbelief but father through the power of the Holy Spirit help us to be strong and to be firm in Faith Lord be lifted High We Praise Your holy name and we thank you for resting on us and resting in us the power to walk in absolute belief because we know that you are the omnipotent omniscient omnipresent God and we serve you we love you and we believe on you for everything that concerns Our Lives God I pray that you would strengthen my faith father help me to

be strong in faith I Trust You Lord Jesus to be my provider the one who will meet my every need I trust in you Lord Jesus to keep my mind at peace to keep my soul at peace your word in Jeremiah 17 verses 7-8 blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is the Lord for he shall be like a tree planted By the Waters which spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when heat comes but its Leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the

year of drought nor will cease from yielding fruit father the one who trusts in you has spiritual security the one who trusts in You Is Anchored and unshakable and I desire to be someone who trusts in you fully no matter the situation may the Holy Spirit strengthen my faith regardless of the battle I face May the Holy Spirit strengthen my faith we praise your holy name Lord it is in the mighty and matchless name of King Jesus that we pray amen now someone may be listening right now and they find themselves in the middle of

a discouraging season I may not know who you are or what your exact situation is but one thing I do know is that the Bible in Hebrews 10 verse 23-2 says let us seize and hold tightly the confession of Our Hope without wavering for he who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful to his word and let us consider thoughtfully how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds not forsaking our meeting together as Believers for worship and instruction as is the habit of some but encouraging one another and all the

more Faithfully as you see the day of Christ's return approaching the Bible tells us to encourage one another and that's what I would like to do today whatever it is you are going through leave it in God's hands the Lord has the final say over your life and you need to hold on don't give up Don't Let Go don't give in and don't be discouraged I pray pray that the holy spirit will block you from looking to the left and to the right so that your eyes can only look up to Jesus Christ Romans 8:37

says yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us you are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ so keep believing that God will see you through keep believing that God will strengthen you don't be discouraged don't be defeated but stand stand on God's word and on God's promise because he has said I will never leave you nor forsake you one of the most remarkable things that Jesus said while he was here on this Earth can be found in John 15:1 15 the Bible reads no longer do I call

you servants for a servant does not know what his master is doing but I have called you friends for all things that I heard from my father I have made known to you when I read this verse I think back to when I was a young man and I first heard the song what a friend we have in Jesus it was one of those songs that lifted me up during a very discouraging season in my life allow me for a moment to just recite the lyrics to this uplifting song what a friend we have in

Jesus all our sins and griefs to bear and what a privilege to carry Everything To God In Prayer oh what peace we often forfeit oh what needless pain we Bear all because we do not carry Everything To God In Prayer have we trials and temptations is there trouble anywhere we should never be discouraged take it to the Lord in prayer can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer now let us pray Lord Jesus my hope is in you my

faith is in in you my trust is in you when I feel anxious I pray that the Holy Spirit would teach me to cast my burdens on Jesus teach me to lean on the Lord for strength teach me not to carry the load by myself but remind me that in Jesus I have a friend that sticks closer than a brother in Jesus I have a God who has said come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest give me Rest In Your Arms Lord take away everything that tries

to discourage me if I should fall pick me up Lord if I should get knocked down Lift Me Up Lord Lord I pray for each and every person under the sound of my voice those who are discouraged those who are tired and weary I pray that they may know you to be The God Who restores and resurrects may they find you to be a God who renews and revives father your word in Psalm 18 verse 1-6 encourages me as it reads I Love You Lord my strength the Lord is my rock my Fortress and my

deliverer my God Is My Rock in whom I take refuge my shield and the Horn of my salvation my stronghold I called to the Lord who is worthy of praise and I have been saved from my enemies the cords of death entangled me the torments of Destruction overwhelmed me the cords of the Grave coiled around me the snares of death confronted me in my distress I called to the Lord I cried to my God for help from his Temple he heard my voice My Cry came before him into his ears you are God who helps

me in my distress when I cry out You Hear My Cry and you are the Good Shepherd who Rescues Me Lord I am reaching out to you because you are the one who controls all things and rules over all things you know my beginning from my end you know that which strengthens me and what my weakness is Lord Jesus I cannot face this life without you you are the one who helps me to overcome you are the one who lifts me up from a pit of despair I will trust in you forever because your word

in jermiah 17: 7-8 says blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord whose trust is the Lord he is like a tree planted by water that sends out its roots by the stream and does not fear when heat comes for its leaves remain green and is not anxious in the year of drought for it does not cease to bear fruit my heart does safely trust in you King Jesus because you mean for me to lie down in green past ures and you lead me beside Still Waters you restore my soul and for this I

give you thanks and offer Praises up to you thank you for hearing my prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ 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 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 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 your s take up your cross and follow Jesus Now 1 Timothy chapter 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 to 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 inde dependently 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 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 e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
