[Adapted from Daniel 9 CJB/Stern]

“Please, Adonai, great and fearsome God, who keeps His covenant and extends grace to those who love Him and observe His mitzvot! We have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled and turned away from Your mitzvot and rulings. We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our leaders, our ancestors and to all the people of the land.

“To You, Adonai, belongs righteousness; but to us today belongs shame — to us, the men of Y’hudah, the inhabitants of Yerushalayim and all Isra’el, [and the United States of America--OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE], including those nearby and those far away, throughout all the countries where You have driven them; because they broke faith with You. Yes, Adonai, shame falls on us, our kings, our leaders and our ancestors; because we sinned against You. It is for Adonai our God to show compassion and forgiveness, because we rebelled against Him. We didn’t listen to the voice of Adonai our God, so that we could live by His laws, which He presented to us through His servants the prophets. Yes, all Isra’el [and the United States of America] flouted Your Torah and turned away, unwilling to listen to Your voice. Therefore the curse and oath written in the Torah of Moshe the servant of God was poured out on us, because we sinned against Him. He carried out the threats He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us disaster so great that under all of heaven, nothing has been done like what has been done to Yerushalayim [ [and being done now in the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE]. As written in the Torah of Moshe, this whole disaster came upon us. Yet we did not appease Adonai our God by renouncing our wrongdoing and discerning Your truth. So Adonai watched for the right moment to bring this disaster upon us, for Adonai our God was just in everything He did, yet we didn’t listen when He spoke.

“Now, Adonai our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand, thereby winning renown for Yourself, as is the case today — we sinned, we acted wickedly [especially here and now in the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE]. Adonai, in keeping with all Your justice, please allow Your anger and fury to be turned away from your city Yerushalayim, your holy mountain; [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE] because it is due to our sins and the wrongdoings of our ancestors that Yerushalayim and Your people [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE] have become objects of scorn among everyone around us. Therefore, our God, listen to the prayer and pleadings of Your servant; and cause Your face to shine on Your desolated sanctuary [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE], for Your own sake. My God, turn Your ear, and hear; open Your eyes and see how desolated we are, as well as the city which bears Your name [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE]. For we plead with You not because of our own righteousness, but because of Your compassion. Adonai, hear! Adonai, forgive! Adonai, pay attention, and don’t delay action — for Your own sake, my God, because Your city and Your people [and the United States of America OR NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE] bear Your name!”

We beseech You, Father, in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua, to hear our cries and prayers, and especially for our children, including in the womb. May Your Name be a praise upon our lips and the harvest great, all to Your Glory. All praise, all glory, all honor are Yours, our most Holy God. May this prayer and its results be to Your Glory.

In the Name of our Beloved LORD MESSIAH JESUS. Amen.

PROPHETIC VISION: HAPPENING NOW, AND MORE TO COME!

 

1973 Prophecy - The Vision by David Wilkerson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_R9I-qQEbs

"That was almost 50 years ago," you might say. Yes, approaching a biblical Jubilee (50 years). AND, keep in mind how long Noah warned the people about what was to come. Jesus said that as the End Times approach, it'll be as in the days of Noah. Wilkerson covers this quite well. Keep count of how many things in his vision have come true and exist now, and are about to happen. May God cover us with His grace and mercy, and shelter us under His wings.

It Feels Good So I’m Doing It!

Before I dive into the deep end on this topic, what I write about here affects all of us, impacts all of us. I deal with it every day, so know I’m not commenting as though I’ve got this completely under control and you don’t. Nor does God expect us to be perfect in this, but He does expect us to address it, according to His instructions in His Word.

We face serious issues today, including worry about those elected (and those unelected) whose commitment is to the destruction of our nation, perversion and sexualization of our children, as well as reduction of our global population, and a desire to remove Jesus from our hearts, minds, and lips. Serious as these are, there’s an additional danger we face with short-term and eternal ramifications. And not only face, but voluntarily, willingly participate in: Friendship with the World and, therefore, enmity with God. This applies to atheists, apostates, those who believe they’re saved but aren’t, and, sadly, those truly Saved. Like what, you ask? A number of ways, but here’s the one that keeps coming to mind to address: “Love covers a multitude of sins, while dark counsel loves to uncover the sins of others through slander…. Slander is one of the abominations that the LORD lists in the Scriptures.” - Benjamin Baruch, Out of the Darkness (See book cover below.)

We’ve caught a virus the Adversary has loosed upon the whole world: A gnawing hunger to shame others. All media and social sites are for us akin to what a bakery is to a diabetic: Poison. Shaming is void of forgiveness. All media is rife with it, as are—if you’ll pardon the repetition—atheists, apostates, those who believe they’re saved but aren’t, and, sadly, those truly Saved. “Unforgiveness is as powerful a deceiving and destructive force in our lives as pride. These are your worst enemies, for pride and an unforgiving spirit are the most dangerous adversaries you face…. and to the degree that we forgive others, so we too will be forgiven.” - Benjamin Baruch

Baruch also wrote, “People will say things like, ‘I forgive them, but I have to stand for righteousness. I have to stand by my convictions.’ In our self-deception, we hide the true motives of our heart within our righteous garments of the flesh. We will destroy a brother’s good name, murder their reputation and hide it all behind the false pretense of asking people to pray for them. But the bottom line is this, pride is an abomination and if we do not humble ourselves and also learn to forgive from the heart, then we are not forgiven.” We are to pray for the lost. We are to speak truth to them in love, not berate them to their face, behind their back, or online. Jesus stated clearly in His Word that He considers shaming, slandering, and gossiping abominations because they are forms of murder—His words, not mine. And He clearly commands, Thou shalt not murder. Taking this into consideration, basically, every news source engages in a form of spiritual slaughter every day. And if we engage with them longer than the few minutes it takes to get news we really need to know, we’re like the Romans watching the lions and Christians. Exchange that time for time in the Word or Prayer Closet or helping where help is needed. (FYI: The original 10-Commandment word is “murder,” not “kill.” Big difference regarding what God was telling us.)

A small population segment we’ve labeled “Woke” has been taught not only extreme versions of unforgiveness but to punish as well via shaming and slander (ahem, they were not self-taught in this regard). It’s a satanic entrapment—for them and for us—so that they and we will not be forgiven by the Father. It wasn’t just a nice turn of phrase Jesus instructed in The Lord’s Prayer, He meant what He said: If we forgive some people but not others, then some of our sins will be forgiven but not all. That makes for a very bad time for us, yes?

Jesus said His people are to be a Peculiar people: NOT like the World, but instead like HIM. Any true Christian who, from this moment on, shames, slanders, and or gossips rather than fasts and or prays for those who are lost, for the faltering Church, and for those in positions of authority, is—according to Jesus—also guilty. In fact, maybe more so because we, as Christians, supposedly not only know better but are commanded to do better, following God’s Word to, yes, experience righteous indignation and speak truth in love when needed, but also to be wise as serpents but harmless as doves, to be angry but do not sin, to lie upon our beds at night and think on this.

Tempting as it is to vent, we need to stop venting about others to anyone: This harms us, the person we’re venting about, and the person we impose this upon. God told us what to do: Vent to Him only, and then forgive and pray for the person or people we’re upset with or about. Scripture tells us the most righteous man offends God at least seven times a day. If we paused to count our own sins we wish forgiven by Him, the number is astronomical. Yet, consider how we handle ourselves when we feel offended, for whatever reason: we enter the land of Bitterness and Unforgiveness.

Every Christian might revisit Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7, to be reminded of what Jesus taught. Something many don’t realize is that the Beatitudes (Sermon on the Mount), plus the other teachings there, are not how to get saved, but what a person who is saved is supposed to do and be like in order to represent God’s Kingdom. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” not the pot-stirrers and accusers (like Satan) of others—public or private. God hates it. Satan loves it. We need to stop it. When we give in to this sin, Holy Spirit leaves us and takes the Power of God through Christ Jesus that is ours, with Him, until we exit Carnal Road and return to His Spirit through obedience.

Jesus said the world would know who is His by their fruit. Those who are His are to produce good fruit, the kind of fruit that represents the Vine we are grafted onto. We’re not to produce thorns and thickets that wound and trap others – and ourselves. That behavior originates from the wrong kingdom. Anyone can attend church services or watch services or videos online, attend and even teach Bible study, quote Scripture – in other words, “Do Christian.” But unless a genuine supernatural change of heart takes place, that person may behave as the World’s perception of a Christian might be, but NOT God’s expectation of one of His. He told us in His Word how we are to be, but it feels good to satisfy the carnal nature rather than obey Him and operate with the Spirit of God in us. I mean, how Peculiar does He really want us to be? Very—to the point of leading others to salvation through Him via how we represent Him and especially His love to and in the World.

“The prayers of a righteous man availeth much.” Neither verbosity nor volume in prayer are evidence of God’s Power operating in us. God considers obedience as righteousness. As long as we continue to do what’s been written about above, the less righteous we are and the less Power of God we possess (if any) to do the work He commands us, His Body here on Earth, to do: Win souls to Christ Jesus for eternal salvation. I’d say most of us—my hand is raised high—have work to do, starting on our knees, getting humble before our LORD, and repenting.

SIGNIFICANT: “The issue of forgiveness is hard for some of us, because some of us have been really abused; some of us have been deeply wounded and it was a lot more than just a thoughtless word or an inconsiderate act. There has been some serious hurt handed out and if that is you, then you have to learn to pray this through in your life. If we do not pray this through, these areas of unforgiveness in our lives can become demonic strongholds, and a spirit of bitterness will take hold. In order to release that bondage, we have to learn how to fast and pray for this kind only comes out through prayer and fasting. We have to learn to fast and pray to break through the unforgiveness in our hearts, through the strongholds of pride, and to prepare our hearts to receive the healing and the salvation of the Lord.” - Benjamin Baruch

Here’s a solid recommendation, because let’s face it—sometimes we really need to vent or criticize or slam someone or something unjust or evil that’s happening. And as much as that IS happening now, it’s about to get a whole lot more frequent and more intense. SOLUTION: Turn to the Psalms. Use God’s own words to cry out your frustrations and fears to Him. Read them aloud to the LORD. Seriously. Let His Word and Spirit comfort and guide you in righteousness: thought, word, and action—so that you can then speak truth with love to whomever...or stay silent, if that’s His wish.

Fellow Christians, understand that Jesus told us it’s going to get bad in the End Times. More and more each day, we’re seeing the beginnings of this prophesied time now (the videos/podcasts/book offered below are worth the time). We are commanded to remain strong through Jesus, and as in Joshua 1:6-9, and NOT become like the World, which is the Adversary’s kingdom (prison). We’re to be a beacon of the Light of our Lord Jesus in the Darkness. This means we cannot – must not – sound like or behave like the World, but like our LORD Jesus. Think on these things.

May God give us clean hearts and renew in us right spirits, making room in us for His Holy Spirit to guide us in all things, for our Father’s Divine purposes and pleasure. I pray this in the Name and Nature of my Savior and LORD Christ Jesus.

PRAYER FOR THE USA & ALL CHILDREN

PRAYER WARRIORS,

Please join me in saying Daniel's prayer regarding our country.

[Adapted from Daniel 9 CJB/Stern]

“Please, Adonai, great and fearsome God, who keeps his covenant and extends grace to those who love him and observe his mitzvot! We have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly, rebelled and turned away from your mitzvot and rulings. We have not listened to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our leaders, our ancestors and to all the people of the land.

Therefore, our God, listen to the prayer and pleadings of your servant; and cause your face to shine on your desolated sanctuary [and the United States of America], for your own sake. My God, turn your ear, and hear; open your eyes and see how desolated we are, as well as the city which bears your name [and the United States of America]. For we plead with you not because of our own righteousness, but because of your compassion. Adonai, hear! Adonai, forgive! Adonai, pay attention, and don’t delay action — for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people [and the United States of America] bear your name!”

We beseech you, Father, in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua, to hear our cries and prayers, and especially for our children, including in the womb. May Your Name be a praise upon our lips and the harvest great, all to Your Glory. All praise, all glory, all honor are Yours, our most Holy God. May this prayer and its results be to Your Glory. Amen.

WALK IN THE WORD, NOT THE WORLD

     My friends, when you hold the Bible in your hands, you are holding something supernatural. Your Bible contains truth that will both reveal and destroy the power of iniquity and Mystery Babylon in the life of anyone audacious enough to believe it. Yes, your Bible holds the power of God and the words of God; it reveals the very nature of the Kingdom of God. Your Bible will feed your spirit man, open your eyes to spiritual realities, and teach you how to leave Babylon behind and walk in God's Kingdom alone. Your Bible should show the wear of extreme use, the tear stains of repentance and transformation, and a life that no longer walks according to the course of this world or according to the prince of the power of the air that works in the hearts of the children of disobedience (Ephesians 2:1-2). The "Prince of Preachers," Charles Spurgeon, was spot-on when he proclaimed, "A Bible that's falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn't."

--Dr. Michael Lake, from The Sheeriyth Imperative

SEARCH THE WORD FOR MEANING

 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. - Proverbs 25:2

HE IS THE VINE

     I am persuaded that neither death with its fears, nor life with its cares, nor things present with their pressing claims, nor things to come with the dark shadows, nor height of joy, nor depth of sorrow, nor any other creature, shall be able, for one single moment, to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord, and in which He is teaching me to abide. If things look dark and faith would fail, sing again the song of the vineyard: "I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day." And be assured that, If Jehovah keep the branch night and day, and water it every moment, a life of continuous and unbroken fellowship with Christ is indeed our privilege.

--Andrew Murray, in Abide in Christ

DO WE REALLY NEED JESUS TO GO TO HEAVEN?

TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL?

I DREAMED ABOUT A SPECIFIC COUPLE I KNOW IN REAL LIFE... but is this also for you or someone you know?

I was in the back room of a house, felt the need to get out of there, so headed for the living room and front door. The couple I know in real life were seated on a wooden picnic bench in the living room and facing an interior wall.

Satanists and Luciferians were entering through the front door. Through the large living room window I saw more of such ilk arriving.

I paused and told the couple, "You need to get out of here. You have only so much time before this place is occupied solely by Satanists and Luciferians. The more of them that fill this space, the less presence of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit will remain. Soon, you might just as well say that all of the "oxygen" of God's Spirit will be removed from here. If you choose to stay, once the last of them enters and closes the door, you can never leave."

They looked at me as though I had on a tinfoil hat (you know what I mean).

Then they looked around--they hadn't been paying attention to who had been and was still arriving. Though not eager to believe me, they at least looked unsure.

They dawdled as they made up their minds, but my spirit prompted me to get out of there, so I exited the house.

Those entering had no problem, but for those wanting to get away, the yard had begun to turn to boggy mush so that people's feet would sink down several inches, making it difficult, though not impossible, for the person committed to getting away to do so, though it would only get deeper and more difficult to get away over time.

This was NOT about a physical space, but a mental one that connects to the spiritual.

Was it a warning solely for that couple?

It certainly fits for all who have not yet crossed God's deadline or borderline of impenitence. Some, including Christians, have no idea such a "red line" for God exists, despite it being in Scripture.

Nor do some know, as Paul E. Billheimer wrote, that "God never saves anyone against his [or her] will."

May God speak to the heart of every person who needs to read and meditate on this.

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

Right from the start, I want to stipulate that my mental vocal-tone is gentle and my purpose for commenting about that particular verse -- Love your neighbor as yourself -- is ... well, that comes toward the end...

A funny thing happens often these days if a Bible-believing person goes against the cultural norm of a person's I-did-it-my-way "Christianity" by bringing to their attention how "their way" may not be God's way, according to His Word: They often come back with, "You're not loving your neighbor as yourself, as you should, and that's also in the Bible."

True. Galatians 5:14, to be specific. 

But as so often happens, too many forget that no verse is a stand-alone; every verse fits into the larger context. For example, what comes before and after Galatians 5:14? Let me assist by sharing an easier version to read from the Complete Jewish Bible, translated by David H. Stern. I used this version because it's closer to the original meaning of the language and cultural idioms of the time in which it was written--which matters, and Stern is a renowned Hebrew scholar and translator.

Starting with Galatians 5:13, we read:

13 For, brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not let that freedom become an excuse for allowing your old nature to have its way. Instead, serve one another in love. 14 For the whole of the Torah is summed up in this one sentence: “Love your neighbor as yourself”;[a] 15 but if you go on snapping at each other and tearing each other to pieces, watch out, or you will be destroyed by each other!

16 What I am saying is this: run your lives by the Spirit. Then you will not do what your old nature wants. 17 For the old nature wants what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is contrary to the old nature. These oppose each other, so that you find yourselves unable to carry out your good intentions. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, then you are not in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Torah into legalism.

19 And it is perfectly evident what the old nature does. It expresses itself in sexual immorality, impurity and indecency; 20 involvement with the occult and with drugs; in feuding, fighting, becoming jealous and getting angry; in selfish ambition, factionalism, intrigue 21 and envy; in drunkenness, orgies and things like these. I warn you now as I have warned you before: those who do such things will have no share in the Kingdom of God!

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 humility, self control. Nothing in the Torah stands against such things.

24 Moreover, those who belong to the Messiah Yeshua have put their old nature to death on the stake, along with its passions and desires. 25 Since it is through the Spirit that we have Life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day.

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

But don't stop there, continue with Galatians 6:1-10...

6 Brothers, suppose someone is caught doing something wrong. You who have the Spirit should set him right, but in a spirit of humility, keeping an eye on yourselves so that you won’t be tempted too. 2 Bear one another’s burdens — in this way you will be fulfilling the Torah’s true meaning, which the Messiah upholds. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is really nothing, he is fooling himself. 4 So let each of you scrutinize his own actions. Then if you do find something to boast about, at least the boasting will be based on what you have actually done and not merely on a judgment that you are better than someone else; 5 for each person will carry his own load. 6 But whoever is being instructed in the Word should share all the good things he has with his instructor. 7 Don’t delude yourselves: no one makes a fool of God! A person reaps what he sows. 8 Those who keep sowing in the field of their old nature, in order to meet its demands, will eventually reap ruin; but those who keep sowing in the field of the Spirit will reap from the Spirit everlasting life. 9 So let us not grow weary of doing what is good; for if we don’t give up, we will in due time reap the harvest. 10 Therefore, as the opportunity arises, let us do what is good to everyone, and especially to the family of those who are trustingly faithful.

What -- and who -- does the apostle Paul mean by "those who are trustingly faithful," because we don't want to guess or leave anything out (again), do we? After all, look at ALL that's left out of the whole message of Chapter 5--it doesn't start and stop with verse 5:14. Vital information follows, information too many forget or fail to be aware of, information that completes what's being conveyed. The best way to identify this meaning ("trustingly faithful" and who it refers to) is to start at the beginning of Galatians and read all 6 chapters. Here's the link so you can do that:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+1&version=CJB

It's been said: "It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian," though I don't readily recall who said it. People who freely use Galatians 5:14, ignore or don't know the rest of it, and usually recite it because they are defending their or the rights of a person to continue in his or her sin, called sin by God, though the world may have even made it legal. And their approval -- which they mean to be loving by -- is not an example of Christian/Messianic love. Jesus came here to save people from the prison of sin and the wages of sin, and from the Adversary's clutches and deceptions that lead to eternal death in Hell. 

If you think my posting this is unkind or unloving or stern, I invite you to read 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 at

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+5&version=CJB

The only reason any of us believe that it's more loving to allow others to die in their sin is because we have believed a false Gospel and in a false Jesus. The God of the Old Testament is the same Jesus (God) of the New Testament -- and God does not change. [For intelligent, qualified, thoroughly researched understanding of Scripture, I invite you to check out Dr. Michael Lake's videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/biblicallife/videos ]

I remember while in college, I got out of a class on the first floor and went to the restroom on the third floor before my next class. My mirrored reflection showed ink on my face. Not one friend, acquaintance, or stranger had brought this to my attention. And that was just ink that washed off fairly easily. I ask you to ponder this: Is it more loving to let someone die in their sin by keeping silent or risk angering or losing them for a while in this life so a seed is planted that Holy Spirit nurtures within them to save them for God's Kingdom? If God commands us to speak His Truth to power, how much more so to those we love or know He does? However, this doesn't mean to nag them. Tell them once, then pray and trust God. 

May the peace of the Lord our God be with you.

Who is like You, ADONAI, among the mighty? Who is like You, sublime in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? - Exodus 15:11

Abba Father, seated upon Your Throne of Grace in Heaven, Holy is Your Name. Your grace and mercy endure forever. All glory, honor, and praise are Yours, from eternity past to eternity future.

Abba Father, I pray that from the treasures of Your glory, You empower us with Your inner strength by Your Spirit, so the Messiah may live in our hearts through our trusting. By Your grace, help us to be rooted and founded in love, so that we, with all Your people, will be given strength to grasp the breadth, length, height, and depth of the Messiah’s love, yes, to know it, even though it is beyond all knowing, so we will be filled with all the fullness of You, Lord. [Ephesians. 3:16-19]

By Your grace, help us to lead a life worthy of the calling to which we have been called. Help us to be humble, gentle, and patient, bearing with one another in love, and making every effort to preserve the unity the Spirit gives through the binding power of shalom. [Eph. 4:1-4]

Help us, Father, to strip off our old nature and to let our spirits and minds be continually renewed. Help us to clothe ourselves with the new nature created to be godly, which expresses itself in righteousness and holiness that flow from the truth. [Eph. 4:22-24]

Father, by Your grace, help us to let no harmful language come from our mouth, only good words that are helpful in meeting the need, words that benefit those who hear them. Help us to get rid of bitterness, rage, anger, violent assertiveness, and slander, along with all spitefulness. Help us be kind to each other, tenderhearted, and forgiving of each other, just as in the Messiah, You have forgiven us. [Eph. 4:29-32]

Help us to pay careful attention to how we conduct our life – to live wisely, not unwisely, and to use our time well, for these are evil days. Help us to not be foolish, but to seek to understand what Your will is. [Eph. 5:15-16]

Help us, Father, so that whenever we open our mouths, words will be given to us to be bold in making known the secret of the Good news, for which we are emissaries. Help us to speak boldly, as we should. [Eph. 6:19]

[The following is based on Ablaze for God by Wesley L. Duewel]

Father, help us become more passionately committed to Jesus Christ than ever before. Give us passion for souls, to Your glory. Give us sensitivity to others. Make us spiritually radiant—to Your glory. Give us boldness in witnessing. Help us to make effective prayers that are also a priority. Lead us, Father, into a secret fellowship with You, where a heavenly fire is kindled within us, making personal work for souls easy, natural, a relief, and a rest. Help us to see souls as through Your eyes so we, too, have a tireless longing in their regard. Father, let Your Holy Spirit pour agape love into our hearts so we love others with the same love for the unworthy, the undeserving, and the sinners as did Messiah Jesus, to Your glory.

Holy Spirit, give us eyes to see when a person’s heart is ready, when s/he faces a crisis where we can help, when You have brought the person across our paths for a purpose. Guide us to be in the right place at the right time to speak to or bless and love the right person. Give us Your anointed touch so we understand and empathize rightly. Give us the right words in all circumstances and moments – or direct us to be silent, according to Your will.

Abba Father, give us a new and deeper love and faith than we’ve ever had before. Pour more of the love of Christ Jesus into our hearts. Through Your grace, give us an intensified sense of Your presence in our lives. Speak in ways so that all – both saved and unsaved – are gripped by the Spirit of God, are aware of the presence of God, and bow before You in new obedience to Your will.

Father, give us the eyes to see correctly, the ears to hear correctly, the mouths to speak correctly, the hearts to know Your truth correctly, the minds to understand correctly, the hands to serve You correctly, and the way to represent You correctly and to Your glory.

Help us to hear Your voice; guide us throughout this day. Help us to see, hear, pray, and then speak.

Make us a definite blessing to someone today. Pour the love of Christ Jesus through us and into the lives of others – saved and unsaved – whatever their age. Provide more workers for Your harvest, and more help for Your laborers.

Help us to realize and use the gifts You gave us for the good of others. Guide us in how we use our talents, gifts, and time. Teach us to pray and believe for Your guidance. Help us develop a listening ear to what it is You want us to hear. Teach us to ask for Your anointing to any form of legitimate work or ministry. Help us to remain humble in the use of Your gifts, to value gifts of other Christians, and to give You the praise and glory for all.

Father, guide us into all truth (John 16:13). Open our eyes so we see wonderful things in Your law (Psalms 119:18). Show us the beautiful unity of Scripture and how one verse shines light on another. Help us receive the Spirit, Who is from God, that we may understand what You have freely given us (1 Corinthians 12).

Holy Spirit, guide us as to how to apply the Word to our own hearts and the needs of others. Divinely enable us through guidance, assistance in prayer, illumination, reminding, restraining, and sealing ministries of Your Spirit.

Father, help us to obediently put away all that might hinder the Spirit’s working. Help us to separate ourselves from all which the Spirit convicts us by His searching light. Help us to yield in totality of surrender that yearns for all Your grace can do in our lives. Help us to claim by faith all Your gracious promises.

Help us to empty ourselves so we can be filled with the Spirit. Help us to live the deeper life, the higher life, the crucified life, the victorious life, the holy life, or the life of rest in our Lord. Change our weaknesses to strengths through You; transform our defeats into victories to Your glory. Cleanse all our defilements with the precious Blood of Messiah Jesus.

Holy Spirit, lead us to a new step and degree of consecration so that the Lordship of Christ Jesus within us may be more nearly total than we ever dreamed of. Holy Spirit, make us hungry for what You long to do within us.

Father, through Your grace, help our trust to produce action, our love produce hard work, and our hope produce perseverance.

Abba Father, through Your grace, and Holy Spirit, change my heart so it is more like that of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; turn me from sinful pride, cause me to love God with all my being and my neighbor as myself. [Taken from The Last Things by George Eldon Ladd.] Father, help all come to an understanding—a whole-Bible understanding—of what loving our neighbors as ourselves means, according to You. The Adversary has succeeded in confusing so many in this regard.

Also, Father, when it is Your will for any who call You Lord to “shake the dust from our feet” and move on from those who reject You, strengthen us to do this and put the proper prayer for them into our hearts and upon our lips. Almighty God, pursue the lost, the backsliders, and those who’ve never known the joy of calling You Abba Father. Lead them to repentance, deliverance, salvation, and redemption through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let them know Your love for them is so great that You gave the full measure to save them. Extend Your loving hand to them, Lord, and then show them how to walk the narrow path that leads to eternal life with You.

Father, I thank You and praise You, in Jesus’ Name, the Name above all names, the Name to which every knee must bow and every tongue confess He is Lord.

Amen and Amen.
