THURSDAYS’ PRAYERS

PRAYN AND FASTING PIC

 

SELAH Daily Devotions!

GOTTA MOMENT? GREAT! Once again, we invite you to join our Family as we entreat The Heavenly Father’s Throne of Mercy and Grace casting our care upon The Only Wise Savior and Lord…

 

WITH OUR HANDS LIFTED UP, AND OUR MOUTHS FILLED WITH PRAIZE, WITH HEARTS OF THANKSGIVING, WE’RE PRAYING…

Heavenly Father, it’s us again. We come today, in the Precious Name of Your Son, Jesus, thanking and praising You for continuously blessing us. We know that it was You who awakened us this morning to see a brand new day, allowing us another opportunity to enjoy the abundance of Your Mercy, Your Grace, Your Power and Your Peace!

Father, as we humbly bow before you, we’re recognize that it is always an honor and privilege that You have bestowed upon us by choosing us to be Your very own children! We shall be eternally grateful that you are The God of our Salvation, our Deliverance, Breakthrough and Provision. We’re rejoicing in the Truth that because You know our frame, Your Faithfulness and Compassion allow You to look beyond our human frailties, faults and iniquities to see and minister to all of our need!

Lord, once again, we’re here praying for renewed strength, understanding and power that comes from a heart open to, depending and relying only on You.

Father, as You Sit Enthroned above all that is seen and unseen, You are aware of what’s going on in our world today and everyday! Nothing happens in our lives that can ever take You by surprise. Lord, You know that the hearts of Your people are being enundated with fear because of the atrocious acts of terror that are taking place in France and Belgium and even the threats that are being perpetrated against our United States of America.

Father we ask that You will forgive us for our rebellious disobedience against Your Holy Commandments, remember those of us who are yielding our lives to Righteousness and shield our nation, surround us with Mercy, protect us, cover us in Your Blood and keep us as we intercede for those who are yet being deceieved by the spirit of this world, trapped in the darkness of their own will, open their hearts, give them eyes that see Your Glory and ears to hear Your Word.

 
We pray that as Your eyes continue to search the hearts of mankind that you save those who are yet lost in the darkness of this world and have not received you into their hearts and lives as Savior and Lord. We’re believing you to put a yes in their hearts and minds that this will be the day that they will come to you, repenting, praying for forgiveness and be born again into Your Kingdom!
Lord, we ask You to reclaim every back-slider who have been deceived by the Tempter to walk away from following You, we pray today will be the day that You will put a yes in their heart and mind to come back to You, guide them and settle them into a church home today.

Father, we entreat You to touch our brother, touch our sister who’s body has been afflicted by sickness and disease, especially the spirit of cancer, kidney and heart desease, arthiritis, hight/low blood pressure, depression and rebuke and cast it out, for Your Name Sake. Lord, because Your Word declares that by Your stripes we have been redeemed and healed, we’re yet standing on Your Promises that the prayer of faith shall save the sick and raise them up, In Jesus Name!

 
Lord, we pray for every believer who is being attacked by the firey darts of our common enemy, Satan, on every hand, but is yet holding on to Your Hand by faith today, Abba Father, please dispatch a double portion of Your Divine power, Supernatural strength and health, provision, prosperity and protection. Encourage them, stir up the Joy, Hope and Peace of Your Salvation!
We pray also Father, that You preserve them thru the tests that they must go thru and assure them that You will bring them out wholly restored, renewed, refreshed and with the reward as You have promised them in Your Word.

Abba Father we pray that You will comfort Your children whose souls are being vexed by the blatant disregard of the leaders of this world to Your Righteous Commands and are willfully perverting and disobeying Your Laws, doing what seems right in their sin-lusting callous hearts and minds.

Heavenly Father, we plead the Blood of Jesus over the lives of our children, grandchildren. great-grandchildren and every generation until The Day of Your Return. Sanctify Yourself in their hearts that they may desire to please You rather than man. Even as you endowed The Three Hebrew Boys, with courageous-holy-boldness, help them to stand for You and not bow to the ways of this fallen world!

Father we wait in confidence and quietness, trusting wholly that all workers of iniquity are suddenly departing in shame, turning their backs from Your people, because You have heard the voice of our weeping, our supplications and received our prayer as a sweet savor coming up before Your Sovereign Throne of Grace and Mercy!

Father, we thank You, honor and praise You now, for we believe that it is done! In The Exalted Name of Jesus. Amen 3X and It Is So!

 

DEEP WELLS

DEEP WELLS

 

SELAH Daily Devotions!

Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.” John 4:13-14

“It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.” John 4:23-24

 

As you study the WORD OF GOD, throughout Jesus’ public ministry, you’ll discover that most of his criticism came not from the heathens, but from religious folk! Can I tell ya something, Jesus hates religion!

Now that might shock some of you, because all your life, you’ve been lead to believe that that’s what church is all about. But Jesus never came to start a new religion! in fact there’s too much of that going on now and it makes God puke! Didjaknowdat?

According to the scriptures, religious folk claim to be close to God, but their rebellious lifestyle of disobedience proves otherwise. They’re simply going thru the motions and their religion boils down to just a shallow  practice of routine rituals. God looks into their hearts and seeing that there’s is nothing real about their worship because there is no real love for Him nor sincere thankfulness to HIM for all of Lovingkindness towards them! Because there’s nothing personal about their relationship, they’re simply empty pots making a whole lot of noise—but ain’t saying nothing to touch His Heart!

The Prophet Isaiah says, ‘These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men –who turn my words upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Can the pot say of the potter, HE KNOWS NOTHING!” (Isaiah 29:13-14)

In other words, God’s not impressed with our performance, for God is SPIRIT! So those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth! Hence, God longs to have intimate fellowship/communtion with our spirits. He wants us to meet Him Spirit-to-spirit. That’s what the scriptures means when it says, deep unto deep. He wants us to approach Him humbly, transparently, honestly, witholding nothing. Recognizing Who He is and realizing who we are in His Presence!

Saints, what separates christianity not  just apart, but above every other religion, is when we invite Christ into our hearts, immediately we shift from one Kingdom to another Kingdom! That’s what salvation thru Jesus Christ is all about! Yes, The Heavenly Father welcomes all to come as you are, but once you come into The Body of Christ, you don’t just stay where you are! It’s a rite of passage, to taking a quantrum leap from religious rituals to personal relationship! Once you taste of The Goodness of Jesus, you can’t resist the Holy Spirit’s promptings and urgency to change. YOUR WELL GETS DEEPER! #4REAL!

Could this be why carnal folk don’t understand why you go to church on a Tuesday nite, pay the whole 10% of tithes, and give an offering every time you come to church?  #interesting, huh?  However, you can’t get mad at them, because spiritual things cannot be carnally discerned. Some folk are just content to be CME …CHRISTMAS, MOTHER’S DAY AND EASTER WORSHIPERS! They’re just speaking out of their shallow well! #ijs

Nonetheless, some of us can testify, “Since I met Jesus, my well is continuously getting deeper. I no longer need my environment to consent that I need to praise God. I don’t have to have my circumstances to be perfect to determine whether or not GOD IS WORTHY 2 B PRAISED! BUT I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES, GOOD, BAD AND INDIFFERENT…MOUNTAIN TOP OR VALLEY…I WILL LIFT UP MY VOICE AND MAGNIFY HIS NAME…FOR IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE LORD ON MY SIDE, I WOULD NOT EVEN BE HERE TODAY!”

C’mon now! HOW DEEP IS UR WELL? WOW!

SELAH!

Pause, Ponder, Pray & Praiz!
