I Need to Pray with You

Father GOD, thank You that You shall yet send The LORD of GLORY to this earth again; that He will live and reign here as He deserves, and thank You for every son and daughter that will see that glorious day. 
Holy Spirit, I have read that it is Your will and Your mission to convict and convince humans of sin, of righteousness and judgment to come, I pray, I pled for You to do this for the many people loved by not only myself but all who come here to read and pray. I do not pretend to know Your timing; I do not pretend to know the future timing of those things You have told us shall be, I wait for You to do as You have promised and warned that You would. I am aware that people are perishing daily. Even so, I know that is not Your will for You have said it is not Your will that any should perish. So thank You for Your mercy, thank You for Your gifts of conviction and repentance; thank You for seeking out the Lost, thank You for rescuing every willing soul from pits of sin. I pray, Father, to see a harvest of souls. I pray to see people rescued and delivered from the kingdom of darkness into Your glorious Light.  Amen and amen based solely on the Merits of JESUS the MESSIAH. 

John 16:8 
2 Peter 3:9
2 Corinthians 4:4

This is the GOD to whom we pray:

How could we not?
How could we not seek Him?
What could be more than HE?

In These Days

Something for Monday. 

All Who Wait

I encourage you to read Psalm 31 today. 
Mark 10 too. 

I hope you will read these passages. They may be just what you need today. 

And if your hearts are heavy with all the boasts you hear, if your soul cringes daily, allow verse 18 to remind you our Father is faithful and while He is full of mercy He is also JUST. 

18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. (KJV)

Psalm 31 closes with this:

23 Love the Lord, all His godly ones! The Lord watches over the faithful But fully repays the one who acts arrogantly.
24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who wait for the Lord.”  source 

As Paul prayed for the people of Ephesus I offer this on our behalf today. 

Father GOD, I pray today You will empower us with inner strength by Your Spirit; so that JESUS will live through us as we trust You and that we will be rooted and grounded in Your love for You and all Your people; that we will be given strength as Your people to grasp the breadth, height, and depth of Your love; to know beyond all-knowing and be filled with You, Holy Spirit. For we know and are confident that You are able to do more, beyond anything, we could ask or imagine. Thank You, Abba, for always hearing Your children when they pray. 
Taken from Ephesians 3: 16-21

 

Good Use

People who have researched more than I say the Epistles penned by Paul contain 43 different prayers he personally prayed. 

If you are interested in a PDF listing these prayers here’s a LINK to a printable copy.
I printed a copy for myself. I have a large appreciation, obviously, for internet pages; but in my humble opinion, there’s no substitute for paper and ink. 

AND if you want those prayers in a topical listing, click HERE.

I make NO claim to any of the materials at either URL address and I hope they will be helpful to you as you put them to good use. 

 

Father GOD,  I pray for each and every Reader here that their love will overflow still more and more in real knowledge of Your Word and in all discernment of all things touching their lives. I pray we will discover the excellent things You have for us; that we all will be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ Jesus; that we will be filled with the fruit of righteousness. We know our righteousness comes only through Your Holy Son Jesus the Christ and all this O, Father, we pray for Your Glory and Praise to Your Holy Name. 

 

A 180 Please

Did you read Mark 7?

Did you see the Pharisees? 
Did you notice what concerned them? Ceremonial washing of hands. Did you get the idea that just anything, anything would do to accuse YESHUA and His followers? I think things have not changed. 

The LORD also addressed defilement with his Disciples. He made it clear it is not what we take into the stomach that defiles us. It is what our heart erupts into actions. Did you read the list of things that make a person unclean? 

21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come forth wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, arrogance, foolishness…. 23 All these wicked things come from within, and they make a person unclean.” source 

Another Scripture comes to mind that I am grateful to pair with this.

1 Corinthians 6:11  King James Version  11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.  

Do you see why?

Also in this Chapter, a woman of Greek descent – not a Jew — came to Him to heal her daughter. More specifically to drive out a demon. 

He tested her faith so she could see what she was made of. She passed! 
Her daughter was made whole.One more verse before I close. It’s so important.
A verse we need to more than commit to memory, a verse that we lean on to guard us daily.

37 People were overcome with amazement. “Everything he does, he does well!” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
 
source

See it? 

EVERYTHING He does. EVERYTHING.
He does ALL things well! 

He makes NO mistakes with YOU.  Or me. 

Father GOD, Thank You for Mark 7. Thank You for every WORD You breathed for us.  YOU do ALL things well. I am grateful. I am also grateful 1 Corinthians 6:11 is true; a true experience for me personally, and for every other man, woman, or child who has received Your Salvation.  If there are Readers here that have yet to receive Your gift of deliverance, it is my desire that You in mercy and grace will draw them to Yourself and enable them to trust You. Others who come here no doubt have needs of comfort, healing, strength, even confidence that You are willing to care for them; wisdom and discernment to resolve issues, relationships, just navigating this life in general. I know You are willing, please enable us to receive Your provisions for all our needs. Of all things here that are important, Father, I pray people will do a 180; that they will turn from sin TO YOU for forgiveness and deliverance from all evil.
