GOOD MORNING FAMILY! GOTTA MOMENT! AWEMAAZIN!

Welcome to ONE more new day! We’re so excited that you’ve joined us in our weekly Thursdays’ Corporate Fasting & Prayer! We appreciate every opportunity to entreat The Presence of our Great High Priest to pour out our hearts desires, petitions and supplications with Thanksgiving. We know that our Heavenly Father delights in our embracing Him in earnest expectation, confident that He Rules Forever by His Power and is willing and able to save and deliver us from any of life’s maladies! Shall we go in?

Ooooh! OOOHHH! OOOOOOH! OOOOOHHHHH! OOOOOHHHHH! OOOOOHHHHH! JESUS! JEESSSUSSSSSS! JEEESSSSUUUUSSSSS! JEEEESUS! JEEESUSSSS! JESUS! WE LUV U LORD! WE LUUVVV UUUU LORRDDD! WE LUV U LOOORRRRDDDD! WE LUV U LORD! WE LUVVV UUUU LORD! WE LUV U LORD! WORTHY! WOOORRRRTTTTHHHYYYY! WOOORRRTTTTHHHYYYYY! WORTHY! WOOORRRRTTTTHHYYY! WOOORTHYYYY…

Abba Father, here we are again! As we come before You, we come praising and exalting Your Holy Name; for You Alone are Holy! You Alone are Awesome! You Alone are Mighty! You Alone are Worthy of All The Glory and Honor. For there is None like YOU! We thankya for creating us! We thankya for loving us! We thankya for chosing us! We thankya for rescuing us! We thankya for sending us Your Only Son Jesus as the Only Acceptable Sacrifice for the punishment that we so deserved for our sin! We thankya for raising Jesus from the dead to confirm our salvation and allowing us the opportunity to repent, put our personal trust in The Saving Grace of The Cross that we might live and enjoy Eternal Fellowship with You!

Heavenly Father, as we enter into Your Presence, we thankya for this new day! For this is the day that You have made for us to rejoice and enjoy the benovolence of Your Graciousness that You have provided fo us! We bless You for being the Source of our strength, the Strength of our joy and the Confidence of our Hope and Peace! We are grateful that Your Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Omniscience give us the assurance that as You look down from Your Throne, You see everything that’s happening in this world and because nothing ever takes You by surprise we know that while it may appear as if things are falling apart, EVERYTHING IS FALLING RIGHT IN PLACE, ACCORDING TO YOUR SOVEREIGN WILL AND PURPOSE FOR OUR LIVES!

Sweet Jesus, we Thankya for making ways out of no way; opening doors that no man can shut and shutting doors that no man can open! Because of Your mercy we are not consumed, for when we are deceived and tempted to stray away from Your commandments, You lead, guide and direct our steps and stops to keep us as we walk among men with unclean spirits and unclean lips!

We Thankya for being such a Compassionate Loving Savior, Who can be touched with the feelings of our infirmities. When we resist and overrule Your Perfect Will for our lives and go our own way, if we confess our sins, turn away from our rebellious thoughts and deeds and give up our own feeble attempts to make ourselves right before You, You are Faithful and Just to forgive us, cleanse and restore unto us the Joy of Thy Salvation!

Heavenly Father, as we gratefully acknowledge that because no man can come to the Father except you draw them, we pray, Daddy, that as Your eyes continue to search the hearts of mankind that You draw and save the lost, please quicken the Spirit of Godly-repentance in their hearts and in their minds that they will come running to You today, asking “What must I do to be saved?” Because we recognize that time is winding up and You are soon to come, we pray that You will put a “sincere YES” in their mouths and that  they will accept Your Grace Gift and receive You as their personal Lord and Savior!

Father, we intercede on behalf of all those who have turned their backs on You and are walking in their own will, today we pray that You put a “COMMITTED YES LORD” in their heart and mind, free them to repent of their sin and come running back to You! We declare and decree that today every back-slider’s footsteps are being directed By Your Mercy and that You are planting and settling them into the church home that You’ve prepared and designated for their individual deliverance, growth and development!

Heavenly Father, we recognize that our bodies are subject to all manner of maladies as a result of this world’s fallen nature, nevertheless, we pray that You will touch our brother, touch our sister whose body has been afflicted by all physical, mental, spiritual sickness and diseases, we plead The Blood of Jesus against the spirit of cancer, kidney failure, heart conditions, high/low blood pressures, depression, demonic-induced oppressions of temptations, doubts, addictions, learning disabilities, low self esteem, fears of rejection, inadequacy and failure! We rebuke and cast it out at the root, for Your Name Sake! Amen 3x!

Dear Lord, according to Your Word declaring that You were wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities and by Your Stripes we are redeemed and healed,  THEREFORE, we’re yet standing firmly on Your promise that the prayer of faith shall save the sick and raise them up, In Jesus Name!

Lord, we’re pray for every believer who is yet holding on to Your Hand by faith today, we’re trusting that You are releasing Divine power, Supernatural Strength, Health, Provision, Prosperity and Protection.

We’re trusting also Father, that You will preserve us thru the tests that we  go thru keeping us constantly and consciously aware of YOUR PRESENCE, fully-confident that at Your appointed time, You will bring us out wholly restored, renewed, refreshed and with the reward as You have promised them in Your Word.

Father, as we stand interceding for one another, we’re thanking You for an outpouring of Your Divine Favor upon each and every one of your children who are seeking employment, promotion, prompt approval for student/car/home loans and assure them that YOU are YET HE, Jehovah Jareh, who shall supply all of their need according to Your Riches in Glory!

Abba Father, we decree that every Satanic-induced spirit of  anxiety, unrest, fear and death is defeated NOW because of Your Anointing and that the Spirit of Love, Power and Sound-mindness and Purpose is being released in the lives of Your people now, in Jesus Name!

Father, by faith in Your Lovingkindness,  we rest in confident expectation and quietness, rejoicing in Hope, trusting wholly that all workers of iniquity are trembling and suddenly retreating in shameful defeat, 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!

Our Father and our God, because we believe that You are listening to our hearts’ cry, IT IS DONE, in the Exalted Name of Jesus, we seal this prayer with a hearty THANKYA JESUS! AMEN 3X!

Now, we encourage every child of  THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD standing in agreement with this prayer, GO TELL SOMEBODY THAT JESUS LOVES THEM 2 LIFE! #FRONTLINEMINISTRY #CARE2SHARE

SELAH Daily Devotions!

Good morning Family, GOT A MOMENT?

We are excited to have you joining us today in our weekly Thursdays’ Corporate Prayer and Fasting! Beloved, as we go before The Lord, understanding that the enemy of our souls has stepped up his attack to distract and destroy The Hope and Joy of God’s elect, we’re praying for the Saints everywhere!  Armed with  Our Father’s Decree that the violent shall pursue, recover and conquer everything that He has given us, we press on toward the mark of our High Calling, trusting that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but Mighty thru God for the pulling down strongholds! Shall we enter in…

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! WE’RE PRAYING, BELIEVING & DECLARING…

Abba Father, Who abides above The Heavens,  we come before You today, In the Magnificent, All Powerful Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus,  determined to rejoice, praise and thank You for blessing us to see this day that You have made! Looking back, we know that it is solely Your Faithful Love that has allowed us to be here to enjoy one more day overflowing with the abundance of Your Benevolence, Mercy, Grace, Power and Peace!

Father, as we reverently bow in Your Presence, we bless You for that great day when You opened our stony hearts and our blind eyes, enabling us to recognize and receive the saving Grace in the Life, Death, Burial and Resurrection of Your Son, Jesus! We humbly acknowledge there was absolutely nothing in us lovable nor worthy of this honor and privilege, nevertheless, because it pleased You, You Sovereignly chose us to be Your very own children!

Lord Jesus, we’re eternally grateful that YOU ARE LORD, therefore are always in absolute control of all things! In light of the continuous influx of profound arrogance, immorality, perversive and illegal transactions that are being perpetrated against Your people from ‘the powers that be’, we shall never fail to express our gratitude that You are The Same yesterday, today and Forever! Therefore, as You provided Light and Provision for Your people in Goshen, You shall keep us safely hidden and covered under The PRECIOUS ATONING BLOOD OF JESUS! Amidst these days of imminent terror, tragedy, chaos and destruction, we vow to praise You, Heavenly Father, knowing that the safest place in this whole world is in YOUR perfect will! Therefore, we trust that no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper and every tongue that rises up again your children, thou shall condemn!

Abba Father, kneeling our hearts before Your Throne, we ask You to forgive us for every sin that we have committed, willfully and unwillfully, spoken or thought that was not pleasing in Your sight causing grief to Holy Spirit! We believe, according to Your Promise, that as we confess and repent from a heart of sincereity, that You are Faithful and Just to forgive us, remove our sins from us, casting them into the Sea of Your Selective Forgetfulness, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness through The Word and the Blood! We’re thankful that because You know our frame, Your Faithful Compassion continuously allows You to look beyond our human frailties, faults and iniquities and minister to our need!

We praise You Sweet Jesus, because no man can come to the Father except You draw them, as we intercede on behalf of every unsaved soul, asking You to quicken the Spirit of Godly-Repentance in their heart and in their mind that they will come to you today, confessing with their mouths “a sincere YES” to your Grace Gift and receive You now as their personal Lord and Savior! We’re believing that You are directing their footsteps, placing and settling them into a local church home today where they are nurtured and encouraged to live holy, acceptable and committed to faithful obedience to Your Word!

Lord, we ask You reclaim every soul that has turned their back and walked away from Your Will! Put a new “commitment YES” in their heart and mind and let today be the day that they come back to You and come back to The Body of Christ where they will submit their lives to the sound teachings of Your Word, working out their own salvation as they learn to love and live their lives denying the lust of their flesh, walking daily to please and Glorify You to this lost, dark and dying world!

Father, we pray that You will touch our brother, touch our sister whose body has been afflicted by all manner of sickness and disease, rebuke and casting every symptom and dysfunction out at the root, for Your Name Sake! Heavenly Father, You are Jehovah Rophe, The Lord our Healer! Even as You walked this earth healing all who were sick, feeble, lame we know that You’re Well Able to do the same right now! Lord Jesus, Your Word declares that Your stripes have redeemed and healed us and we’re yet standing on Your promises that the prayer of faith shall save the sick and raise them up, In Jesus Name! Amen 3x!

Lord, we pray for every one going thru a season of sorrow and grief at the lost of a loved one, those who are being victimized by institutionalized racism, incarcerated by Spirits of fear, rejection, disappointment and failure, divorce, lost of employment, bankrupty and illegal foreclosures! We plead the Blood of Jesus over every demonic thought, spirits of anxiety, oppression, depression and confusion, because we know that You are not the author of these satanic thoughts and feelings, but You have given us who have put our personal trust in Your Son Jesus, Your Righteousness, a Spirit of Love, Peace, Joy and a Sound Mind!

Lord, we lift up every person struggling to hold on to Your Immutable Word by faith today, trusting that You are releasing Divine Power, Supernatural Peace, Hope, Strength, Health, Provision, Prosperity and Protection! Father, we’re believing You to preserve each and everyone of us thru the tests that we must go thru, keeping our minds constantly stayed on YOUR PRESENCE, fully-confident that at Your appointed time,You shall bring us out wholly restored, renewed, refreshed and with every reward as You have promised in Your Word.

Heavenly Father, as we pray, according to Your Will, for the leaders of our nation, government, corporate, judicial, education, financial institutions and our churches, we’re asking that You touch their minds and hearts, visit them in the night, speak to them in dreams and visions! Let them know that You, The Lamb of God, sit Enthroned Above the Heavens keeping record of the deeds of every man’s heart and will reward accordingly!

Abba, we ask that You encourage and comfort the souls of Your elect whose spirits are vexed and overwhelmed with fear, doubt and worry because of the things that are going on in our personal lives and in this ungodly world systems! Lord,  assure us that we are never alone, and never without Your Very Present Help!

Father, release a downpour of Divine Favor upon Your children who’re being challenged by seemingly time-sensitive situations such as marital relationships, wayward children, loneliness, financial, employment and promotion issues, approvals of student/car/home loans! Assure them that YOU are YET Jehovah Jareh, Who shall supply all of their need according to Your Riches in Glory! Father, we declare and decree that every demonic-induced spirit of addiction and fear is defeated NOW because of Your Anointing and that the Spirit of Love, Power and Sound-mindness and Purpose is being released into the lives of Your people now, in Jesus Name!

Lord Jesus, Your children, await Your Salvation,  align our spirits, soul and body with Your Eternal Word in confidence and quietness, rejoicing in hope, trusting wholly that all workers of iniquity are trembling, suddenly departing in shameful defeat, recognizing that 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!

Abba Father, because You have chosen us and brought us near to dwell safety and secure in House, we shout with joy unto The One to Whom all men will come! We bow in obedient reverence before The Hope of all the earth, believing that as Your face shines upon us,  the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts are pleasing and acceptable in You eyes! We believe You are making Your ways and salvation known among all nations as You Guide and Rule justly!

Holy Father, trusting that IT IS DONE, we offer up this prayer In The Exalted Name of Jesus! Alleleujah! Amen 3X!

Now every child of God who is standing in agreement with this prayer,GO TELL SOMEBODY THAT JESUS CARE ABOUT YOU, YOU & YOU! #FRONTLINEMINISTRY

SELAH Daily Devotions!

For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. Isaiah 50:7

For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Malachi 3:6

 

There’s never been a point, place or space in time where God is not! God IS and will ever BE—for He is ETERNALLY GOD! #didjaheardat?

To souls wearied and wounded from matriculating through the sporadic-tumultuous terrains of life, this statement has proven to be the Source of great comfort and strength. At the same time, to the forces of evil, it’s the sting of predictable debilitating destruction and defeat against their insidious attacks!

The primary mission of the Kingdom of darkness is to cause the people of God to abandon their hope and personal trust in The Eternal Father by any means necessary! Satan’s disciples strategically set up obstacles  to ensnare believers with confusion, fear and doubt designed ultimately to contaminate their faith, causing them to re-evaluate the Reliability of trusting in an invisible, yet all emcompassing True and Living God!

Problem is, all too often, it’s the personal testimonies of triumphant victories down thru the years that continue to rigorously validate God’s Faithfulness, fueling the Believer’s Hope of Eternal Glory!

Granted, finding ourselves knee-deep in the dung of this 21st Century Anti-Christ culture, there’s no shortage of opportunities to just throw in the towel, tap-out on the Promises revealed in the Sacred Writ, resolving that they’re no longer relevant in this self-centered, self-righteous, intellectually astute, Hi-Tech, contemporal millenial society!

However, such thinking is only logical to those who have foolishly opted to avoid the reality of The Omnipresent Omnipotent True and Living God! Nevertheless, absolutely nothing ever happens that catches God off-guard. Hence, He is Alpha and Omega! The Omniscient Creator, Sovereignly orchestrating the affairs of humanity from eternity past, thru present into eternity future, determined that His Purpose shall never be frustrated by the inherent iniquity of flawed-fickled-fleshy-lust-filled mankind!

Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two inchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of The Hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this Hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. Hebrews 6:17-19

Beloved, standing firmly on the Immutability of God’s Word, gives us the leverage to embrace every situation with confident assurance that we’re never alone and God is always in control. Relax! Remember this ain’t your first rodeo, right? A quick glance over your shoulders will remind us that our Heavenly Father has always been our very Present Help, constantly undergirding our inabilities with His Infinite Excellence!

History declares that we’re surrounded by clouds of witnesses who’ve gone before us, therefore, we imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises! (Hebrews 6:12) 

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6

Remember, My child, when it seems as if the odds are stacked against the righteous—GOD’S AT HIS BEST! FAITHFUL…IF HE DID IT B4, HE WILL DO IT AGAIN!  #seriously

GOOD MORNING FAM! GOTTA MOMENT? AWEMAAZING!

Thankya for joing us in our Weekly Thursdays’ Corporate Fasting and Prayer!
We’re grateful to our Heavenly Father for all those who You have appointed and anointed to come boldly, daring to stand on The Wall, lifting up The Name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of those who yet Hope in The Saving Grace of our Lord and Savior and especially those who do not yet know the power that is available to those who will entreat The Creator and King of Glory in hope-filled earnest expectation believing that He is willing and able to answer us as we pray aligning our faith in accordance to His Purpose! Shall we go in…

I really love The Lord! I really Love The LORD! You don’t know what He’s done for me! HE GAVE ME THE VICTORY! I LOVE HIM! I LOVE HIM! I…REALLY…LOVE…THE LORD! We love You Lord, and I lift my voice, to worship You. Oh my soul, rejoice! Take joy my King, in what You hear, and let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your Ear! We adore Thee! We adore Thee, We adore Thee, O Lord! Let’s pray...
Almighty Lord God, as we bow our heads and our hearts to thank You for this day, we honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for the privilege to enter into Your Throne Room, rejoicing in confident hope that You are welcoming us and listening attentively, compassionately and intentionally to our prayers!

We thank You for being Lord of Salvation, Deliverance, Breakthrough and Provision! We’re thankful that because You knowing our frame, Your Faithful Compassion continuously allows You to look beyond our human frailties, faults and iniquities to see and minister to all of our need!

We’re blessed because You, being Holy and Righteous, continue to be a Faithful, Loving, Forgiving God, and such an understanding and caring Father! You have done so much for us and yet You keep on blessing us. Lord, forgive us this day for everything we have done, or said or thought that was not pleasing to You. Abba Fahter, we are sincerely sorry and humbly repent asking for Your forgiveness, trusting in Your Promise that if we confess our sins before You, You are Faithful and Just to give us!
Abba Father, we pray that as Holy Spirit searches our hearts, knowing those Who Belong to You, those whose hearts are truely open to, depending and solely relying upon Your Mercy and Grace, please renew our strength, understanding and empower  us to live holy and acceptable to Your Will every day!

Lord, we praise You for being The ONLY Redeemer of all man-kind! Yet, You have told us that no man can come to The Father, except through You! We pray that as Your eyes continue to search the hearts of mankind that You draw those who are lost in the deceptive darkness of this world; open their eyes and hearts through the Knowledge of God in Christ Jesus and save them! Break up the hard-hearted and put a ‘sincere Yes’ in their hearts and minds that they will come humbly to You today  to accept and receive You as their personal Lord and Savior!

Father, release a Spirit of Godly-Repentance thoughout this world, that the back-slider will be reclaimed!  We pray that You will create in them a clean heart and renew in them a right spirit, that they will confess to You with their mouths a “committed Yes” ! We’re trusting You to place and settle them into a church home today, where they will be re-dedicated, encouraged, strengthened, nurtured, delivered and set free to live the rest of their lives exemplifying, testifying and glorifying The Power of God to transform the lives of anyone who yields their will to God’s Word, Will and Ways!

Father, because of Your Sovereignty, nothing ever happens that catches You by surprise! Therefore, as You have instructed every Believer, we lift up every government official, corporate, education, financial, judicial, health care provider! We’re encouraged by the reality that the no matter how high man climbs the ladder of success, HE STILL HAS TO LOOK UP TO YOU!

We’re asking a special miracle for every spiritual leader, bishop, apostle, pastor, preacher, evangelist, missionary, teacher, music director, musician, praise team/choir membe serving in The House of God! We’re believing You to anoint them to reach for the lost souls! Restore the commitment and replenish the zeal of everyone who is yet standing on the wall proclaiming Your Word under the Power, Conviction and Anointing of Holy Spirit.

Father, we’re trusting and believing that You will Grace them to be the examples in Caesar’s House, in the Capitol, in state/local government offfices, in court houses,  in jail houses,  in the Board Rooms, in the school house, in their homes, churches and community that will cause everyone who comes into contact with them to fall in love, trust wholly in and live their lives serving You!

Father, we commit our children, our children’s children and by faith, into Your providential care! Lord, we realize that You have a plan and purpose for their lives too and we have the blessed assurance that their steps and stops are yet being ordered by Your eyes!

Heavenly Father, stir up the hearts and minds of those who are professing Your Name but denying Your Power! Quicken and prick their spirits giving them a desire for an even greater personal, intimate relationship with Creator God through fellowship of Holy Spirit that they might prove what is the perfect and acceptable will of The Lord Jesus!

Sweet Jesus, we ask that You continue to open the eyes of Your people that we are not easily deceived by those who would desire to entrap us in bondage once again to anything that You have delivered us from.

Father, we ask You to touch our brother, touch our sister whose body has been afflicted by all manner of sickness and disease, especially the spirit of cancer, high/low blood pressure, heart disease, kidney, lung failure, satanically induced depression/oppression/addictions and rebuke and cast it out at the root, for Your Name Sake! Lord, we decree as Your Word declares that Your stripes have redeemed and healed us and we’re yet standing on your promises that the prayer of faith shall save the sick and raise them up, In Jesus Name, It Is So!

Lord, we pray for every believer who is yet holding on to Your Hand by faith today, that You will release Divine power, Supernatural strength and health, provision, prosperity and protection. We believe also Father, that You will preserve them thru the tests that they must go thru and that You will bring them out wholly restored, renewed, refreshed and with the reward as You have promised them in Your Word.

Father God, we pray that every demonic-induced spirit of fear, failure, hopelessness and disappointment be defeated by Your Anointing and that the Spirit of Power, Love and a Sound-mind be released now, in Jesus Name! We’re trusting that each morning of this new year Your children will awaken, armed with Grace to accomplish every assignment and earnest hope-filled tomorrows!

Father, we rejoice now in confidence and quietness, trusting wholly that all workers of iniquity are trembling and suddenly departing in shameful defeat, because You have heard the voice of our weeping, our supplications and received our prayers as a sweet savor coming up before Your Sovereign Throne of Grace and Mercy!

Heavenly Father, we seal this prayer in The Power of Holy Spirit, with gratitude, honor and praise. Believing that it is done, In The Exalted Name of Jesus, we shout Halleleujahhhh!!!! Amen 3x!

HE LOVES ME!

HE LOVES ME

 

SELAH Daily Devotions!

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. Genesis 3:8

 

Back in the olden days, there was a street game (Yes, we actually played outside) and while the name of the game escapes me, I do remember the rules. We’d find a fresh yellow flower, which was no small feat in the hood, and then we’d proceed to slowly pull each individual golden petal apart from the stem while chanting the words,“He loves me…He loves me not…He loves me…He loves me not…HE LOVES ME!”
 
That’s exactly how some of us authenticate our relationship with Jesus! When our circumstances are all good (just as we like them), “He loves me”. Howevrrrr, when situations suddenly shift beyond our comfort level and/or ability to control, “He loves me not!”
 
Where did this come from? Let’s consider our first parents, Adam and Eve. When they obeyed the Voice of God, they enjoyed paradise—living life to the fullest. Everything they desired was theirs for the picking without their even asking. However the moment they began to doubt God’s faithfulness and willfully defied God’s instructions, they were thrust into an environment that God never intended for them to experience. The confident intimacy of God’s Presence was ruptured and for the first time, they found themselves radically disconnected, attempting to hide themselves from the Eternal Source of Life and Love! The enchantment they once knew was displaced by dread, fear, guilt, shame, doubt and insecurity! 
 
But The Eternal God of Love, refused to let go! The Omniscient Creator came looking for Adam.  
 
Where are you? Today? Are you discouraged and feeling detached from The True Source of Power, Hope, Joy and Peace? Are the cares of this world or un-confessed sin tempting you to hide from your Only Savior, Jesus? 
 
Come out from there! Lift your heart towards The King of Glory and be ye reconciled! (Ref. 2 Corinthians 5:20)
 
Don’tchakno?  When our Heavenly Father sees us, He’s looking at us through Lovingly Blood-Stained Eyes!  
 
Trust for sure, Beloved…Yes, HE LOVES ME, AND YOU! 
 
SELAH!

Good morning Family! GOTTA MOMENT? Ooh Glorraa!

Welcome to a new day! We’re so excited that you’ve joined us in our weekly Thursdays’ Corporate Fasting & Prayer! We appreciate every opportunity to entreat The Presence of our Great High Priest to pour out our hearts desires, petitions and supplications with Thanksgiving. We know that our Heavenly Father delights in our embracing Him in earnest expectation, confident that He Rules Forever by His Power and is willing and able to save and deliver us from any of life’s maladies! Shall we go in?

O, Sweet Wonder! Oh Sweet Wonder! Jesus, The Son of God! Ooohh Sweet Wonder! JESUS THE SON OF GOD! Bow down and Worship Him, Worship Him! Ooohh Worship Him! Bow Down and Worship Him! Enter in! Oooh Enter In. Consuming Fire, Sweet Perfume! Your Awesome Presence, fills this room! This is Holy ground…This is Holy ground…we bow down….

Our Father and our God of Heaven and Earth, we come before You humbled by Your Loving-Kindness, Grace and Mercy! We’re eternally grateful for one more opportunity to behold The Glory of Your Presence! We know that it’s Your Wisdom and Strength that has allowed us to be alive today! We thank You for revealing to us such wondrous treasures that were hidden from our understanding, when we walked surrounded by darkness, as dead men in the earth without a God on our side!

Abba Father, it’s only because of You, that we know to cherish this day and not take it for granted as if we have a right to live! Because of You we now live, move and have our being! We come with our hearts rejoicing, hands lifted up and our lips forever praizing You! Oh, how awesome are Your deeds! For You have preseved our lives and kept our feet from slipping!

Daddy, we thank You for being The True and Living God of our Salvation, Deliverance, Breakthrough and Provision! We’re thankful that You, knowing our frame, Your Faithful Compassion continuously allows You to look beyond our human frailties, faults and iniquities to see and minister to all of our need and even bless us with the desires of our hearts, as You see fit! We praise You today, from a heart open to, depending and relying only on You for renewed power, strength and understanding to apply Your statues to our lives that we may enjoy the abundant lives that You have predestined for us now and forever!

Lord Jesus, we’re eternally grateful that YOU ARE THE SOVEREIGN LORD, therefore are always in absolute control of all things. In light of the continuous influx of profound arrogant and illegal transactions that are being perpetrated upon Your people from ‘the powers that be’, the atrocious shootings taking place all around us and in the midst of sadden hearts and wearied spirits we shall never fail to express our gratitude because You have promised to yet keep us hidden under The BLOOD just as You provided Light and Provision for Your people in Goshen! We praise You, Heavenly Father, that even in these days of imminent terror, tragedy, chaos and destruction, we know that the safest place in this whole world is in YOUR perfect will! Therefore, we trust that no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper and every tongue that rises up again your children, thou shall condemn!

Abba Father, kneeling our hearts before You, we ask You to forgive us for every sin that we have committed, willfully and unwillfully, spoken or thought that was not pleasing in Your sight and that caused grief to Holy Spirit! We believe, according to Your Promise that as we confess and repent from a heart of sincereity, that You are Faithful and Just to forgive us, remove our sins from us, casting them into the Sea of Your Selective Forgetfulness, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness through The Word and the Blood! 

Lord, we pray for every one who is going thru a season of sorrow and grief at the lost of a loved one, those who are being victimized by institutionalized racism and systemic intimidation, Spirits of fear, rejection, disappointment and failure, divorce, lost of employment, bankrupty and illegal foreclosures! We plead the Blood of Jesus over every demonic thought, assignments, spirits of anxiety, oppression, depression and confusion, because we know that You are not the author of these satanic thoughts and feelings, but You have given us who have put our personal trust in Your Son Jesus, Your Righteousness, a Spirit of Love, Peace, Joy and a Sound Mind!

We praise You Sweet Jesus, because no man can come to the Father except You draw them, we interceded on behalf of every unsaved soul, asking You to quicken the Spirit of Godly-repentance in their heart and in their mind that they will come to you today confessing with their mouths a “SINCERE  YES” to your Grace Gift and receive You now as their personal Lord and Savior! We’re believing that You are directing their footsteps, placing and settling them into a local church home today where they are nurtured and encouraged to live holy, acceptable and committed to faithful obedience to Your Word!

Lord, we ask You reclaim every soul that has turned their back and walked away from Your Will! Put a new “COMMITTED YES” in their heart, mind and soul and let today be the day that they come back to You and come back to The Body of Christ where they will submit their lives to the sound teachings of Your Word, learn to love and live their lives denying the lust of their flesh, walking daily to please and Glorify You to this lost, dark and dying world!

Father, we pray that You will touch our brother, touch our sister whose body has been afflicted by all manner of sickness and disease, rebuke and casting it out at the root, for Your Name Sake! Heavenly Father, You are Alpha and Omega, the same yesterday, today and forever! Even as You walked in this earth healing all who were sick, feeble, lame we know that You’re Well Able to do the same right now! Lord Jesus, Your Word declares that Your stripes have redeemed and healed us and we’re yet standing on Your promises that the prayer of faith shall save the sick and raise them up, In Jesus Name! Amen 3x!

Lord, we lift up every believer who is struggling to hold on to Your Word in faith today, trusting that You will release Divine power, Supernatural Hope, strength, health, provision, prosperity and protection. Father! We’re trusting You to preserve each and everyone of us thru the tests that we must go thru, keeping our minds constantly stayed on YOUR PRESENCE, fully-confident that at Your appointed time,You will bring us out wholly restored, renewed, refreshed and with every reward as You have promised in Your Word.

Heavenly Father, as we pray, according toYour Will, for the leaders of our nation, government, corporate, judicial, education, financial institutions and our churches! We’re asking that You touch their minds and hearts, visit them in the night, speak to them in dreams and visions and let them know that You Who Sit Enthroned Above the Heavens is keeping record of the deeds of every man’s heart and will reward accordingly!

Abba, we ask that You encourage and comfort the souls of Your elect whose spirits are vexed and overwhelmed with fear, doubt and worry because of the things that are going on in our personal lives and in this ungodly world systems! Lord, send Your assurance that we are never alone, and never without Your Very Present Help!

Father, we’re trusting You to release a sudden downpour of Divine Favor upon each and every one of Your children who are challenged by seemingly time-sensitive situations such as marital relationships, wayward children, loneliness, financial, employment and promotion issues, approvals of student/car/home loans! Assure them that YOU are YET HE, Jehovah Jareh, who shall supply all of their need according to Your Riches in Glory! Father, we declare and decree that every demonic-induced spirit of addiction and fear is defeated NOW because of Your Anointing and that the Spirit of Love, Power and Sound-mindness and Purpose is being released into the lives of Your people now, in Jesus Name!

Lord Jesus, Your children, await Your Salvation, in confidence and quietness, rejoicing in hope and trusting wholly that all workers of iniquity are trembling, suddenly departing in shameful defeat, recognizing that 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!

Abba Father, we align our spirits, soul and body with Your Eternal Word! Because You have chosen us and brought us near to dwell safely and secure in Your House, we shout with joy unto The One to Whom all men will come! We bow in obedient reverence before The Hope of all the earth, believing that as Your face shines upon us that, You are making Your ways and salvation known among all nations for You Guide and Rule justly! Father, believing that IT IS DONE, In The Exalted Name of Jesus we offer up this prayer! Alleleujah! Amen 3X!

Now every child of God who is standing in agreement with this prayer, GO TELL EVERYBODY THAT JESUS LOVES YOU, YOU & YOU! #FRONTLINEMINISTRY

SELAH!

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 14:21

 
WOW! Faithful Obedience, huh? Honestly, this should be the very heart-cry of every born-again, Blood-Washed Child of The Most High God! After all, yall know that absolutely nothing in our personal repertoire is remotely worthy of such extravagant Loveliness that was extended towards humanity through the Sacrificial Atonement of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ! Hence, Unfailing love and Truth have met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed! (Psalm 85:10) God refused to let us go!

Yet, far too many who claim The Name of Jesus, consider the burden of denying their will in humble gratitude to The Lordship of Jesus Christ, more than they’re able to commit to for so great a Salvation! Don’t get me wrong, just about anyone will gladly run to Jesus for Fire Insurance, (Savior) but how many are willing to subject themselves to The Righteousness required by The Sovereign Creator? That’s probably what The Bible means by ‘Many are called but few are chosen’, right? (Ref. Matthew 22:14)

Of course, it’s never God Will that any should perish, however His Holiness will not allow sin to go un-judged! Strangely enough, some who confess Him as Savior in order to grab a ‘get outta-hell-free pass, think it totally unreasonable that God should expect them to live a holy and righteous lifestyle…everrry day!

Oh, you can’t always tell who they are on Sunday mornings with their hands lifted high in the air, jus like everybody else, but if you follow them home chances are you’ll hear them saying, ‘ain’t nobody perfect’ and making all kinds of excuses to justify their rebellion against the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Truthfully, only those who are driven by a personal hunger and thirst to know God intimately, will genuinely seek to please Him by putting to death the sin-lusting cravings of their fleshy appetites and surrendering to the new nature that yearns to obey His Word! Amazingly, God does not require anything of us that He’s not willing to help us to succeed! “And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:” (2 Corinthians 5:8) #Didjaheardat? WOW! NOW THAT’S GRACE!

Quite frankly, Beloved, due to the severe limitations of my finite intellect and limited verbal ability. such awesomeness is not easily described and I find myself gasping at the mere suggestion that I AM the object of such affection. Yet this Truth encompasses my spirit, soul and body and I embrace my wholeness and completeness, as I dwell in the Presence of The All-Knowing, All-Loving, Caring, Creator-Giver, Father of All-Life! FINALLY, TRUE LOVE!

WHEN LOVE IS REAL, IT FINDS A WAY.

They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me for their own good and the good of their children after them. I will make an everlasting covenant with them. I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me so that they will never turn away from me. I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and soul. Jeremiah 32:38-41

 

As a child, I vaguely remember a glimpse of pride swelling up inside whenever I heard someone say,‘this is the GREATEST nation in the world’! I suppose that’s what they mean by ‘let’s make this nation great…again, huh? But, that was before I became abruptly aware that there were two nations co-existing in one! #ijs

According to historical accounts, Courage and Confidence was once the hallmark of our nation! Yet, some say that the infamous catastrophic events of 911 has radically stripped away this lofty heritage and the hope-filled future legacy  that was once ascribed to the land of the power, peace and prosperity is now being besieged by the rampant rage of darkening clouds of an evil foreboding fear, doubt, anxiety, stress, guilt, shame, confusion and condemnation!

Well, it’s not my intent to debate the inevitable result of widespread deviation from the moral standards as defined by The Holy Bible. Howeverrrr, may I submit for your consideration, that without a holy reverence, a clear vision and a Divine impartation of understanding of WHO GOD IS & WHAT HE REQUIRES OF US, people’s strength will fail and their expectations of security perishes! The past has proven that without the restraint of law and order, destruction prevails! Well, like the ol’ skool preacha used to say, “I jus lost half my churrch!” Seriously?

Honestly, when we don’t understand Whose we are, we’ll be inclined to doubt God’s ability and even His willingness to help us. Void of genuine hope and unable to trust God’s Unfailing Love, we instinctively depend upon self to take care of our needs and satisfy the desires of our own hearts. And we all know how that turns out, right?

But those of us who dare to risk resentment, ridicule and rejection from those who will slander our righteousness, labeling us as unloving and intolerant, WE DEFY the prevailing opinions of the worldly in favor of the guidelines of the Ancient Landmarks, rejoice in hope, fully persuaded that if we suffer for Christ sake, we shall also reign with Him!  #CANIGETANGOODAMEN?

Through faith and hope, TRUE WORSHIPERS develop a singleness of -heart and mind, stemming from personal intimacy with The Lord Jesus Christ whereby we experience the Abiding Presence of God, trusting wholly in His Sustaining Grace!

Instead of conforming to the ways of the world, believers don’t bail out! Hence, in the face of the calamity and chaotic circumstances, we stand steadfast, rooted and grounded in The Promises, Provision and Power, persevering in the midst of devastation, famine and plagues, confident that we’re covered! Remember Goshen, God’s Protected Place? (Ref. Exodus 8:22)

Beloved, trust 2 know that when it looks like your world is falling apart, look again! Don’t allow fear to drain your faith! From Heaven’s perspective, everything is falling right in place!  Remember, Jesus has already gone into Tomorrow to prepare a table before you, right in the presence of your enemies! (Ref. Psalm 23:5) #Didjaheardat?

IT AIN’T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, K? YOU GOTTA HOPE BEYOND THIS WORLD!

GOOD MORNING FAMILY! Gotta Moment? Awesome!

Welcome to our weekly Thursdays’ Prayer and Fasting! Once again, we’re excited that you’ve joined us as we enter into The Glorious Presence of The Most High God! We’re blessed and honored for the opportunity to cast off the burdens that challenge our hope, peace and joy that is ours because we’ve been reconciled to The Lord of Compassion, Grace and Mercy! Shall we go in together?

Here we are to worship, here we are to bow down! Here we are to say that Your our God! You’re altogether Lovely, Altogether Worthy, Altogether Wonderful to Me! I’ll never know, how much it cost to see Your Son upon that crossss..So here we are to worship! Here we are to bow down…Here we are to say that You’re our God! …Bow down and worship Him! Worship Him! Ooooh Worship Him! Bow Down and Worship Him! Enter In, Oooh enter in! Consuming fire! Sweet perfume. His awesome Presence fills this room. This is holy ground! This is holy ground. This is holy ground. So come and bow down!

Let’s pray..

Abba Father, as we bow our heads and our hearts to thank You for this day, we honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for the privilege to enter into Your Throne Room! We’re eternally grateful and confident that You welcome us with Lovingkindness! We rejoice in Hope that because You are listening to our prayers we believe that You are dispatching  the angelic hosts to save, heal and deliver us, even as we’re praying!
Heavenly Father, we thank you for watching over us as we slept last nite. We thank You for knowing it was Your Hand that awakened us this morning, safe from hurt and harm. You kept death, destruction, terror, the thief and robbers out of our way. Because of Your Sustaining Power, when we rose this morning we were yet able to stand, see, to hear, speak, to feel, and to taste of Your Goodness this day and every day. We thank You, Heavenly Father, even for the mind to say Thank You!

We’re blessed because You, being Holy and Righteous continue to be such a loving forgiving God, and such an understanding and caring God. You have done so much for us and yet you keep on blessing us. Lord forgive us this day for everything we have done, or said or thought that was not pleasing to you. Abba Fahter, we are sincerely sorry and humbly repent asking for Your forgiveness trusting in Your Promise! Because You are Faithful and Just to give us and wash us in The Cleansing Blood of Jesus, we have the assurance that we are  restored to our right relationship with You, therefore we may walk free from condemnation, guilt and shame!

We thank You Lord Jesus, for being The God of our Salvation, our Deliverance, Breakthrough and Provision. We’re thankful 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!

Father,  we’re believing that You are touching our brother, touching our sister whose body has been afflicted by sickness and disease, especially the spirit of cancer and rebuke and cast it out at the root, for Your Name Sake. Heavenly Father, You have decreed that You are Alpha and Omega, the same yesterday, today and forever! Even as you walked in this earth healing all who were sick, feeble, lame we know that You’re Well Able to do the same right now! Lord Jesus, Your Word declares that by Your stripes  we have been redeemed and healed  and we’re yet standing on Your promise that the prayer of faith shall save the sick and raise them up, In Jesus Name! Amen 3x!

Sweet Jesus, we’re asking that You search our hearts and see that we’re opened to Your Will and Your Way, totally depending and relying on You to work on, in and through us so that others may come to see Your Glory being manifested in this present world.

We believe that as Your eyes continue to search the hearts of mankind that you save the lost, and that You will open the eyes of their understanding that they may know that it’s ONLY in The Name of Jesus that any of us can be saved! Break up the fallow ground of their hearts and put a ‘SINCERE YES’ in them that they will humbly receive You as their personal Lord and Savior! Father we’re trusting that You will direct their steps, and place and settle them into a church home today.

Heavenly Father, we lift up every person who has walked away from You and Your church for whatever reason. Your Word assures us that You are married to the backsliders. Encourage their soul that because of Your Unfailing Love, You are praying and waiting for them to come back into Your Loving arms today! We’re believing that their hearts are being pricked at this very moment, compelling them to return with a “COMMITTED YES” determined to live out the rest of their lives devoted to serving and being a witness of The Goodness of The Lord!

Knowing that You Sovereignly Rule and Reign over the affairs of mankind, as our nation is in the midst of election season and many are overwhelmed with fear, doubt and confusion, we pray and thank You for our President Obama, Mrs. Hillary Clinton and Father, we ask that You help Donald Trump as only You can!

We ask that You continue to open the eyes of understanding so that your people are not easily deceived by those who would desire to entrap your children in bondage once again to anything that You have delivered us from.

Lord Jesus, we lift up every government official, education, financial, judicial, health care and spiritual leader, asking a special miracle for each and every one of them who are yet standing on the wall proclaiming Your Word under the conviction and anointing of Holy Spirit.

Father, we’re trusting and believing that you will Grace them to be the examples in their homes, churches and community that will cause everyone who comes into contact with them to fall in  love, trust wholly in and live their lives serving You!

Father, we commit our children, our children’s children and by faith, into Your providential care! Lord, we realize that You have a plan and purpose for their lives too and we have the blessed assurance that their steps are yet being ordered by Your eyes!

Heavenly Father, stir up the hearts and minds of those who are professing Your Name that they will have a desire for an even greater personal, intimate relationship with Creator God through fellowship of Holy Spirit that they might prove what is the perfect and acceptable will of The Lord Jesus!

Lord, I pray for every believer who is yet holding on to Your Hand by faith today, that You will release Divine power, Supernatural strength and health, provision, prosperity and protection, PEACE, comfort and encouragement. I pray also Father, that You will preserve us thru the tests that they must go thru and that You will bring us out completely restored, renewed, refreshed and with the reward as You have promised them in Your Word.

Father, we rejoice now in confidence and quietness, trusting wholly that all workers of iniquity are trembling and suddenly departing in shame, turning their backs from Your people, because You have heard the voice of our weeping, our supplications and received our prayers 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. Alleleujah! Amen 3x and It Is So!

Those who stand in agreement with this prayer, GO TELL SOMEBODY JESUS CARES!

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”…being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. Romans 4:18, 21

 

Do you remember, as a child, ever being warned by your parents (supposing to avoid the pain of disappointment),“Don’t get your hopes up”? For many of us, the devil was laying a foundation for years of pessimism, doubt, unbelief, hopelessness, low self-esteem, depression and despair! WOW! Who Knu?

Ever wonder why God told us not to walk by our feelings? Well, if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably accumulated enough regrets, resulting from poor choices you’ve made listening to your fickle-feelings, to realize how irrational flesh can be, huh?

Let’s set the record straight! Sometimes, it’s difficult to ascribe a tag to feelings; feelings jus are! Directed by proper motivation, feelings are good! That’s why we need the Spirit of Discernment! Remember, when out of no where, you felt that bleep that kept on bleeping up  out of your spirit and something told you…‘don’t go that way, stop right now and turn around or call so-and-so, pray for him now?

Unfortunately, more often than not, we’re tempted to dismiss things if it doesn’t fit within the realm of our logic. Kinda like Abram’s first response to the burning bush! Yet, something pricked his curiosity to closely investigate and ultimately leading him into a personal encounter with The Supernatural Almighty God!

Abram over-ruling emotions and human reasoning, choosing to consider not what he could see (circumstantial evidence) but rather believed and reached for what was not seen! That was faith, yall!

Now, the world looks at this and calls it foolishness, weakness and denial! However, the scriptures reveal that Abram was clearly aware that except by Divine Intervention, it was impossible for a 100 year old man and a 90 year old woman to conceive and birth a child! Because God does nothing in the earth until He gets a man to come into agreement with Him, have you ever wondered what if Abram and Sarai had continued to jus laugh off the promised as an impossible pipe-dream, if perhaps…???

No doubt over the next 25 loonnng years, Abram faced many demonic challenges tempting him to give up his hope of  living to see the manifestation of such a miraculous feat. Yet, against all hope, Abraham hope on! Oooh Glorraa2GAWD! God testified that because Abram believed that His God had the power to shift nature and call those things that be not as though they were, Abraham received the Promise and thus became the Father of our faith!

Howeverrr, how often have we insisted upon ignoring that still small voice of conscience to satisfy feelings of our own lusting, self-centered emotions driven by fear of ‘What if and What’s in it for me’? Even if it means forfeiting our Hope and God’s Peace?  OMG! The next time, perhaps we need to re-think before we act on them, huh? #ijs

Beloved, HONESTLY! This walk of faith that GOD EXPECTS is NOT REALLY all that unreasonable when your HOPE is firmly rooted and ground in Jesus Alone, consistently trusting, wholly relying upon HIS Supernatural Grace to strengthened us to walk out our faith, looking unto JESUS, obeying HIS teachings and patiently awaiting HIM to fulfill every Promise that HE has ever spoken over our lives! #Didjaheardat?
