A SEASON OF PRAYER - KEEP YOUR FAITH IN THE LORD


Blessings to you Beloved of the Lord,



   There is time upon us in which our prayer lives will be essential. Not to say that it should not be an essential part of our every day walk with the Lord as believers. The world is ever changing and transforming. New ways of thinking, that in my opinion may cause confusion to the masses. There are so many voices vising for our attention. Many are misleading.

   I would like to admonish you today to begin to purposefully seek the Lord while He may be found.
"Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near." (Isaiah 55:6 NIV) This verse can seem a little puzzling, giving the impression that the Lord may not always be found. Just remember that He, by His Holy Spirit now resides in our inner most being or the hidden man of our heart, our spirit man if you have asked Him into your life.

 What to pray?

   Pray for the minds, ears, hearts and eyes of the lost to be opened to hear the voice of our Lord and see His love and kindness toward them.

   Pray for all believers that their faith would not fail them in times of persecution and turmoil.

  Pray and repent for your sin, your family's sin, the sin of our countries and the world. That they would turn from our wicked ways and turn back to God our Lord and Creator.

   Pray for our children and their children that they would have the heart to serve the Lord and find their peace in Him and not the things of this world.

   Pray for your ruling leaders that all would be well with you and your families and the Lord would give you favor.

  Pray that the wicked schemes of the ungodly would be exposed by the Spirit of Almighty God and their plans and purposes of harm and evil would come to naught.

  Pray the Lord to give you a holy boldness in this season to go out into the highways and byways and spread the good news of our Savior and win the lost to the Lord.

  Pray and thank the lord for providing the provision needed to reach others for the sake of Christ.

  Pray for miracles to be wrought by humble hands as you minister to and (serve) those around you always giving glory to God.

  Pray for the Lord to put His words in your mouth to speak and deliver many by His Holy Spirit.

  Pray for the Lord give you and song in your mouth to keep your faith strong and your joy in Him everlasting as you receive your call and marching orders from your King.

  This list is not complete. I know the Lord by His Holy Spirit will also place things in your heart that need to be prayed for.

  Go out as the people of Israel did with a shout of victory and songs of deliverance. They moved expecting the God of Israel to go before them and to be their rear guard in battle. And He was and still is!

   Remember there is no God like our God who can save, deliver, heal, raise the dead, to give sight to the blind spiritually and physically, cause the lame to walk, calm the troubled seas and make mute people speak. The list of His miracles goes beyond what we are able to comprehend and speak.

  God is God of all and there is none like Him. We are a blessed people indeed to have been given so great an invitation to serve such a wonderful living God.  His mercy endures forever and He forgives our sins holding nothing to our charge.

  If you would like to experience the ever present love and mercy of God in your life, just ask Him into your life now. A simple prayer asking for God to forgive your ways that you may not have known were contrary to His ways. Ask Jesus to come into your life and show you the right path to take in Him. And thank Him for becoming your Savior and helping you in your every life. In good times and bad.

  "For every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved." (Romans 10:13 YLT)

  Welcome to the family of God! Please email us to let us know that you prayed and invited the Lord into your life, so we may put you on our prayer list and pray for you and support your growth in Christ.

**You and yours are always in our thoughts and prayers**

"Blessings to you my Brothers and Sisters in the Lord. May all grace abound toward you and yours in the matchless name of Jesus!"

BE WISE AND PRUDENT


Greetings in the name of the Lord!

   Have you ever heard the statement "Time is of the essence?"  Well, there is a time that is upon us in which we will have to discern exactly what we see and believe. We live in a world where there are no absolutes. We do not have a set of complete and perfect rules to look on. One day the rules or law may say one thing, and then before you know it, that rule or law changes to nearly the exact opposite of what the original intent was.

   This is confusing. There is no wonder as to why we see so many people today who rebel against authorities and government. Plain and simply stated: "There is no security of any kind in this world or its system!"

   It is imperative that we spend time with the Lord in His word. "The Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." Hebrews 13:8. His laws are perfect. His ways are just. He is consistent. We are able to rely on, and trust Him.

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

   There are very responsible, well meaning people in this world, doing their best to raise a family and contribute their time and energy in making the world around them a better place to live. Then much to this idealistic dream, the status quo changes and they find the rug pulled out from under them. To say the very least, this is disheartening. But take courage. There is a scripture verse I'd like to share.

   "A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, The naive proceed and pay the penalty."
                                                                                                                       Proverbs 27:12 (NASV)

The word evil in the original Hebrew means: perverse; foolish.

The word hides in the original Hebrew means: concealed; secret things; cover; undetected.

The word naive in the original Hebrew means: good sense; discretion; prudence; wisdom.

   We see in these definitions that we are not silly minded at all. In fact, those in Christ, are full of His wisdom. We are covered in Him, for Him and by Him. As we take a look at the verses above along with the explanation of the words, we see that in whatsoever state we find ourselves, our behavior and mindset is in Christ. This is what we manifest. This is our living hope. All to God's glory. It should not be any surprise to us just how the world behaves and reacts. Again, as we read the Bible we come to understand why exactly, the world thinks the way it does. It is in a fallen state. The world system operates under a different set of rules. We notice more and more the opposition to the things and people of God. If it doesn't like God, it won't like us. That's okay. Expect it and rise above it in Christ.

   Let me express that I am not talking about civil laws that are put in place to protect us. I am speaking about an agenda, that has its roots in the spiritual realm and opposes the things of God. Some un-knowingly and others knowingly agree with this dark influence and its intent. We must be discerning. The times are evil.

   Now is not the time for believers to be islands unto themselves. We must gather ourselves together to pray, fellowship, lift one another up, bear each others burdens. We must seek God and His divine will. Now is the time for us to extend His loving kindness and mercy to unbelievers. They also need a place to find comfort. This is why we are still here. The Lord desires for us to bring them, the lost sheep, into the fold. Now is the time.

   "He who dwells (lives) in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. I will say of the Lord, he is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!" Psalm 91:1-2 (AMPC)

And another verse states:

   "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves." Matthew 10:16 (NKJV)

This word shrewd in the original Greek means: To reflect a personal mindset.

   The word innocent in the original Greek: implies righteous; what is in conformity with God's own being ( His will, standard of rightness) hence "upright."

   "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 (NASV)

We have hope in Christ. This hope is an anchor to our soul (mind).  With the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit we are able to manifest heaven on earth in every situation and circumstance.

   "Yet I am confident I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!" 
                                                                                                                                  Psalm 27:13 (NLT)


Now to Him who is able to keep you and yours be all of the glory! Much love in Christ!

THE LORD SAYS: "I WILL BE FOUND BY YOU."


Blessings to you the Lords Beloved!

   I would like to encourage you today, my family and friends. There are times when we may find ourselves getting caught up in a whirl wind. We may say: Which side is up? Or maybe, stop the world I'd like to get off now.

  Even so, where ever you may find yourself today, know that you are at the beginning of something the Lord is working in your life. A place of transition, from one purpose to another.

  KNOW that you are not alone, though the path may seem lonely.

  KNOW, that you are under-girded by His powerful Holy Spirit of Grace. He is closer to you then when you first believed.

  KNOW that His Resurrection life has, and will, hold you, carry you, and breathe new life into you.

  In your weakness, He IS made strong. It's IN and THROUGH and BY HIS LIFE working in us that we can and will go on.

After this season, when we come back to ourselves, we see in the Book of Jeremiah 29:12-14

"Then , you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, "declares the Lord," and will bring you back from captivity."

By the Spirit of our Lord, I would like to emphasize most importantly, "The Lord Says

"I WILL BE FOUND BY YOU!"

Praise the Lord God Almighty. Who reigns with justice and mercy. He has made Himself available to us!

You are never too far out of His reach! You are never to far from the boarders of Heaven that you can not be retrieved.

HE KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE...HE IS THERE.

  Father in Heaven, I pray for Your Holy healing presence to surround, under-gird, hold up and hold onto all those that are Yours, will become Yours, and are called by Your Most Holy name.
  Jesus, I thank you Lord, once again, that by Your grace, let Your overwhelming Holy Spirit of peace and power, fill all gaps and places of wounds.
Now to Your glory Lord, I speak supernatural peace and refreshment. Rest, rest, rest.
Lord we love You. Come now Father and be all that and who You are, in and through our lives, as we lay our lives before Your Holy Thrown. In the most precious name of Jesus. Be glorified.

If you have never asked the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart and by faith, have turned your life over to Him, you can do that by a prayer something like this:

Lord, I ask You to forgive me all of my transgressions against You and Your name in my ignorance. Forgive me Lord because I did not understand Your great love and concern for me.
 I ask You to come into my heart now Lord with Your presence. I give my life to You to do Your will and not mine any longer. 
I thank You Father for hearing my prayer of faith and I know that You will not turn the one, who seeks You, with their whole heart away. 
Change me Lord by Your Holy Spirit working in my life. I give You all of the glory amen.


Welcome my Brother and Sister into the Kingdom our Creator God!  May He show Himself real to you in your quiet times. May His angels guard you in battles of your faith. May He gird and hedge yo about as you live to glorify His Holy name. May you experience the Holy Fire of our God in your hearts, mind and spirits as serve Him. In the blessed name of Jesus! Hallelujah! 



Blessings and comfort to you and your family!
